and surely would liked to of been there. But of course could not make the connections. But hope to be with them next! year.
As time is scarce will have to be brief this time.
I remain, yours fraternally in P. A. P.
SGT. 1ST CL. EARL L. KNAPEN-BERGER,
From the Congressional Directory published by the United States Government— “Wm. E. Mason, Senator from Illinois, was elected to the 50th Congress in 1887,. to the 51st Congress in 1889—defeated for the 52nd Congress 1892—Eelected Senator to the 55th Congress in 1897 to 1903.”
Senator Mason is now Congressman from the State of Illinois.
Senator Mason’s championship of Pure Food and Drugs legislation, his fight for the rural delivery system, and his strong advocacy of all bills favoring labor and the rights of the masses as against trusts and combines make him a national figure at Washington and endeared him to the hearts of the working man and the great masses of people throughout the United States. Senator Mason has the distinction of being one of the really big men of the nation. His strong endorsement of Nux-ated Iron must convince any intelligent thinking reader that it must be a preparation of very great merit and one which the Senator feels is bound to be of great value to the masses of people everywhere, otherwise he could not afford to lend his name to it especially after his strong advocacy of pure food and drugs legislation.
We have not received any since the August issue. But are looking for the old familiar wrapper in each mail.
The boys are not getting much chance to get together, as they are too busy swatting the Huns. And that is the one big feature now. But when get a chance, talk usually runs to “Moosedom.”

Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change your food into living tissue. Without it, no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don’t get the strength out of it, and as a consequence you become weak, pale and sickly looking, just like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If you are not strong or well you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordinary Nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained.
MANUFACTURERS’ NOTE : Nuxated Iron, which was used by Senator Mason with such surprising results, and which is prescribed and recommended above by physicians is not a secret remedy, but one which is well known to druggists everywhere. Unlike the older inorganic iron products it is easily assimilated and does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach. The manufacturers guarantee successful and entirely satisfactory results to every purchaser or they will refund your money. It is dispensed in this city by all good druggists.

Senator Mason’s statement in regard to Nuxated Iron was shown to several physicians who were requested to give their opinion thereon.
Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York Physician and Medical Author said: “I heartily indorse Senator Mason’s statement in regard to Nuxated Iron. There cen be no vigorous iron men witheut iron. Pallor means anemia. Anemia means iron deficiency. The skin o! anemic men and women is pale; the flesh flabby ; the muscles lack tone ; the brain fags, and the memory fails, and often they become weak, nervous, despondent and melancholy.
Dr. James Francis Sullivan, formerly Physician of Bellevue Hospital (Outdoor Dept.), New York, and the Westchester County Hospital, said, “Senator Mason is to be commended on handing out this statement on Nuxated Iron for public print. There are thousands of men and women who need a strength and blood- builder but do not know what to take. In my own opinion there is nothing better than organic iron—Nuxated Iron—for enriching the blood and helping to increase the strength and endurance of men and women who burn up too rapidly their nervous energy in the strenuous strain of the great business competition of the day.”
Former Health Commissioner Wm. R. Kerr, of the City of Chicago, says: “I have taken Nuxated Iron myself and experienced its health-giving and strength-building effect, and in the interest of the public welfare I feel it my duty to make known the results of its use. I am well past my threescore years, and want to say that I believe my own great physical activity is largely due today to my personal use of Nuxated Iron I feel it is such a valuable remedy that it ought to be used in every hospital and prescribed by every physician in this country.”
While former Health Commissioner Kerr is not himself a physician, still his experience in handling public health problems must give his opinion more than ordinary weight.
Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques, Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, New York City, said:	“I have never before given out any
medical information or advice for publication, as I ordinarily do not believe in it.

Most all of my old pals in the old outfit I was with when I first came over here have seen front-line service on the western front.
I am sorry to say that I have not seen any first line service so far. The best I have seen yet is air battles between Austrian and Italian aviators.
It makes a fellow just stand with his mouth wide open and look up into the sky like a rube does on his first visit to New York city when he sees the tall buildings.
It is an interesting thing to watch. First you hear a couple reports from an anti-air craft gun, and then you look up into the clouds and see a few black or yellow rings of smoke and then among the rings you can see an airplane. The shots all seem to come very close but none seem to hit. Next you see a couple of Italian planes speeding toward the smoke rings because it was an enemy machine that was being shot at. In a short while the Italian planes seem to be but a few feet from the enemy machine and then you can see them maneuver for positions. First they are above them and then below the enemy machine and then below the enemy machine, machine point slightly upward, and you know then that the planes are coming nearer to the ground. They keep on going down until they seem to sink into the ground in the distance. A few minutes later you can see the Italian planes coming flying back. Sometimes they fly right over our quarters, and often they fly very low and wave to us, and of course we all whistle and wave our hats at them. Of course we do not find out the result of the battle they were just in until an Italian soldier comes around and tells us of it. There is hardly a day goes by that the Italians do not bring down at least two or three Austrian planes.
At present we are quartered quite close to the front lines. The noise of bursting shells can be heard almost all day and night, but at the same time none of them ever land within a couple of miles of us.
The way things look it may be different in a few days, but I will have to wait and see and I’ll let you know about it in my next letter.
We had a pretty good show here at the “Y” tonight. There were quite a few fellows sitting around talking or writing and out of the bunch some pretty good talent was picked. We had a quartette, two clog dancers, a monologist, a coon shouter and one of the fellows did the Hula Hula. There were a few English Tommies here and they sang “Tipperary” the way the English do when they are out on a hike. All told we had a pretty good time of it.
Between the Red Cross and the “Y” there is always something doing either to accommodate or entertain us.
Well, dad, the call to quarters just blew, and as taps will be blown in fifteen minutes I will have to close.
Before long I hope to write about my experience at the front, but I don’t know just how soon that will be.
Trusting this will find you and all the folks at home in the best of health and spirits, I am,
Your affectionate son,
BERT BROCKMAN.

Senator Mason, Pioneer
In Pure Food and Drugs Legislation, Father of Rural Free Delivery System
Says Nuxated Iron
Increased His Power and Endurance so Much, Thas He Feels It Ought to be Made Known to Every Nervous, Run-down Anaemic Man, Woman and Child.

What Senator Mason Says
Chicago, 111.
Gentlemen :
I have often said I would never recommend medicine of any kind. I believe that the doctor’s place. However, aftre the hardest political campaign of my life, without a chance for a vacation, I had been starting to court every morning with that horrible tired feeling one cannot describe. I was advised to try Nuxated Iron. As a pioneer in the pure food and drug legislation, I was at first loath to try an advertised remedy, but after advising with one of my medical friends, I gave it a test. The results have been so beneficial in my own case, I made up my mind to let my friends know about it, and you are at liberty to publish this statement if you so desire. I am now 65 years of age and I feel that a remedy which will build up the strength and increase the power of endurance of one at my age, should be known to the world.
Yours very truly,
co־׳a-trvv

But in the case of Nuxated Iron I feel I would be remiss in my duty not to mention it. I have taken i't mywelf and given it to my patients with most surprising results. And those who wish quickly to increase their strength, power and endurance will find it a most remarkable and wonderfully effective remedy.”
