N A &> ’ s - _ was a business secret. Letters From Washington ‘Washington is one of the latest states in which farmers are organizing into the Nonpartisan league. The Leader herewith publishes these letters to indicate how the farmers in the ex- treme Northwest look at things: » : Goldendale, Wash. Alfred Knutson, Washington State Su- perintendent, National Nonpartisan League. The farmers here are unable to market their wheat. The only way they can dispose of it, is to consign it to the warehouse own- .ers, or grain dealers, who will advance them $1.50 per bushel on the consign- ment and charge them six per cent on the money advanced, with the under- standing that they will receive the balance when the wheat is sold and graded. I will say that there is great dissatis- faction expressed among the farmers because of this arrangement, for it still allows the grain gambler to get his hooks in. . SAMUEL ANDREW. Nonpartisan League, Spokane, Wash: North Yakima, Wash. Congratulations. Your letters re- ceived and also literature under sepa- vrate cover. As I am now in the busi- est season of the year I have not yet had time to read all that you sent me but could not resist reading the head- ings of every page and glancing through the Leader. I am very glad, indeed, that the League has at last ~ . come into the state. I certainly dread- ed the thought of going through another election in the old way. I will sure be glad to do everything in my power to help the League to be & success in this great state. HENRY M'CORMICK. Nonpartisan League, Spokane, Wash: North Yakima, Wash. I am very much pleased to hear from the League. I am working as a farm hand and therefore have not all of my time at my own command, but I hope , to be of much help in this community for League promotion. I received the League literature today. ~ Awaiting your success, J. A, SLAVIN. The Same Old L Lie Merino, Colo. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I am sending you a clipping from the Mail & Breeze of Topeka, Xansas. Please put an answer to it in the Non- partisan Leader. I do not like such remarks and would like to see him answered. L. A. KERN. Editor's note: The clipping was a two-column article trying to revive the discredited lie that the League is allied with the I. W. W, and taking petty mud-slinging flings at the North Da- Ekota Nonpartisan legislature of last winter. It is too long to print, and - everyone who has paid any attention to League history knows it to be false. T'he article was written by Elmer T. Peterson, who spent several days at Bismarck last winter pretending to be meutral and to be seeking information about the farmers’ movement, but who deliberately refused to use the infor- mation given him by League leaders and used only what he got from the League's political enemies and the old gang newspapers of Grand Forks, Bis- marck and Fargo. His article appears in a paper owned by Governor Capper of Kansas, whose political ambitions are in danger of being blasted by the erganization of the farmers. ONE OUT OF 37 Perham, Minn, Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Why don’t the critics of the League take this into consideration: that out of 37 eminent men and women who ad- dressed the St. Paul producers and consumers conference only one made & mistake? ‘When the big millers of Minneapolis were asked by the governor of the state what was the exact cost.ef mill- ing, they refused to answer but said it President Townley answered every question. But they say Townley is a traitor and the- millers are eminent gentlemen, and pa- triotic. Sure, Mike! Holler and wave the flag for profit! There were 5000 farmers and con- sumers at the St. Paul conference, ‘Why doesn’t the cowardly Kept Press publish the resolutions adopted there? Because the general public would then know the genuine loyalty of the farm- ers’ movement towards their govern- mernt. ‘ages.1 am convinced that in this way ADVERTISEMENTS Doctor Says Crying Need Of The Woman Of Today - Is More Iron In Her Blood TO PUT STRENGTH IN HER NERVES AND COLOR IN HER CHEEKS. Any Woman Who Tires Easily, is Nervous or Irritable, or Looks Pale, Haggard And Worn Should Have Her Blood Examined for Iron Deficiency. Administration of Nuxated Iron in Clinical Tests Gives Most Aston- ishing Youthful Strength and Makes Women Look Years Younger. “There can be no healthy, beautiful rosy cheeked women without iron,” says Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York Phys- fcian and Medical Author. ‘In my recent talks to physicians on the grave and seri- ous consequexnces of iron deficiency in the blood of American women, I have strong- ly emphasized the fact that doctors should prescribe more organic iron—nuxated iron —for their nervous, run-down, weak, hag- gard-looking women patients. Pallor means anaemia. The skin of the anaemic woman is pale, the flesh flabby. The mus- cles lack tone, the brain fags and the memory fails, and . often they become weak, nervous, irritable, despondent and melancholy. When the iron goes from — the blood of women, the roses go from their cheeks. In the most common foods of America, the starches, sugars, table syrups, can- dies, polished rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghett], tapioca, sago, farina, degerminated cornmeal no longer is iron to be found. Re- fining processes have removed the iron of Mother Earth from these impoverished foods, and silly meth- ods of ‘home cookery, by throwing down the waste pipe the water in which our vegetables are cooked, are respons- ible for another grave iron loss. “Therefore, if you wish to pre- serve your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe old age, you must supply the iron deficiency in your food by using some form of organic iron, just as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt.” “As I have said a hundred times over, organic iron is the greatest of all strength builders., If people would only take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak or rundown, instead of dosing themselves w#th habit forming drugs, stimulants and alcoholic bever- they could ward off disease, prevent- ing’ it becoming organic in thousands of cases and thereby)the lives of thou- sands might be saved who now die every year from pneumonia, grippe, kidney, liver, heart trouble and other dangerous maladies. The real and true cause which started. their disease was nothing more nor less than a weakened con- dition brought on by lack of iron in the blood. “On account of the peculiar nature of woman, and the great drain placed upon her system at certain periods, she requires iron much more than man to help make up for the loss. “Iron is also absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. Without it, no matter how much or what you eat, youg 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 look- ing, 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 ean work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five grain tablets of Nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks, then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. I have seen doz- ens of nervous, run-down people who were ailing all the while double their strength and endurance and entirely rid themselves of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days' time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this after they had in some cases been doctoring for months with- Dr. Ferdinand King, New Yeork Physician and Medical Author, tells physicians that they should prescribe more organic iron—Nuzated Iron—for their patients—Says anaemia—iron deficiency—is the greatest curse to the health, strength, vilality and beauty of the modern American Woman.—Sounds warning against use of metallic iron which may injure the leeth, corrode the stomach and do far more harm than good; advises use of only nuzated {ron. out obtaining any benefit. But don't take the old forms of reduced iron, iron acetate, or tincture of {iron simply to save a few cents. The iron demanded by Mother Nature for the red coloring matter in the blood of her children is, alas! not that kind of iron. You must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimjlated to do you any good, other- wise it may prove worse than useless. “I have used Nuxated Iron widely in my own practice in most severe aggravated conditions with unfailing results, I have induced many other physicians to give it a trial, all of whom have given me most surprising reports in regard to its great power as a health and strength builder. Many an athlete and prizefighter has won the day simply because he knew the secret . of great strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before he went into the affray; while many another has gone down in inglorious de- feat simply for the lack of iron.” Dr. Schyler 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 be- lieve in it it. But so many American women suffer from iron deficiency with its attendant ills—physical weakness, nervous irritability, melancholy, indiges- tion, flabby, sagging muscles, etc., etc.— and in consequence of their weakened, run-down condition they are so liable to contract serious and even fatal diseases, that I deem .it my duty to advise all such-to take Nuxated Iron. I have taken it myself and given it to my patients with most surprising and sa.tisfactory results. And those who wish quickly to increase their strength power and endurance will find it a most remarkable and -wonderfully ef- fective remedy."” NOTE—Nuxated Iron, which is pre- scribed and recommended above by physicians in such a great variety of cases, is not a patent medicine nor secret remedy, but one which is well known to druggists and whose iron constituents are widely prescribed by eminent physicians both in_Europe and America. - Unlike the older inor- ganic iron products it is easily assimi- lated, does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stemach; on the contrary, it is a most potent rem- edy in nearly all forms of indigestion as well as for nervous, run down con- ditions. The manufacturers have such great confidence in nuxated iron, that they offer to forfeit $100.00 to any charitable institution if they cannot take any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron, and increase their strength 100 per cent or over in four weeks time, provided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money if it does not at least double your strength and endurance in ten days time. It is- dispensed in this city by all good druggists. We need organizers. You don’t need to give your WE'LL STICK That's the League slogan and a mighty good one it is. It means you'll stand by the guns till the fight is won. But believe me it means more than standing by—it means fighting—and fighting hard. Now how can you fight?” Well let's figure it out. ‘What are you fighting for in the League? Political power—sure —_we're not going to stop here to tell why we want political power—you know and I know that it’s the way Big Biz has used the law to handcuff us while they went through our pockets. We know why we want political power and what we are going to do with it when we get it. 3 The questions now are how are we going to get political power: We've got to have the votes. That's what counts. On election day we've got to have enough “We'll Stick” men march to the polls to give us the majority of the votes. Now how will we get them? Well how did you get into the League? Some- body came to you and told you of the plan of the farmers to quit their foolishness of fighting Big Busi- ness 364 days in the year, then on the 365th day which happened to be election day fighting each other by dividing their vote and giving Big Business just what they needed to go on with the robbery the next 364 days. Somebody explained to you that the farmers were going to make the rules of the game themselVes after this and you said “Good, I'll stick.” . But your vote only counts one—you've got to have the vote of all the other farmers along with yours. Now how are we going to get him? Why just like we got you. We've got to see him and explain it to him. Now this is just what we want you to do—help us see the other fellow in time to make your vote and his count for victory. J time. It's worth money to the farmer to belong to the League and youll be paid for the work you do. The League has an Educational Department to train you for this work—write us for particulars. You can do this organization work and make a good living while you render real service in the fight. We Need Trained Men We not only need organizers but there are oppor- tunities for lecturers, executive positions, newspaper work, and something else perhaps you haven't thought of. The League’s main idea is to give government, local, state and national, into the hands of the people. This means that the people will be seeking not only honest men to do the public work but trained men— efficient men. ' The day of the people is at hand— get ready for service.
