kitchen, how to keep flies away from the garbage and how to remove all odor from the washhouses and latrines at the opposite end of the company street. But these schemes didn’t pre- vent him from going ahead and doing the work that was assigned to him, in the way that it was assigned. He did his work so well that they made him an acting sergeant and put him in charge of.the sanitary detail every day. That gave him a chance to put some of his schemes into operation. Most of them worked. But because he was an acting sergeant he didn’t content himself with standing around with his hands on his hips and giving orders. He was every day the hardest work- ing member of his crew. I could tell a lot about what this man did but space will not allow this. I will tell just one thing more and that is that less than two months after this man arrived in camp the commanding officer called him to the headquarters tent one day and said: “Good morning, Lieutenant Jones. Here is the commission that has just come from Washington for you.” This is a true story with a moral. But to my way of thinking the fact that he got a lieutenant’s bar and.is entitled to wear leather. puttees is not the biggest reward the man I am calling Jones. got from his service. He has opened for himself a line of work that will be of immense benefit to himself when the war is over, for there is always a big demand for practical sanitary engineers. And the benefit will extend to thousands of others whose health and lives he will protect, as he protected one company at Camp Hancock, Ga. There are plenty of other men who will find their true work, in one line or another, in the army. I am think- ing of ‘one man who had never cooked a meal for himself in his life. But when he was assigned to kitchen po- lice he pestered the 'cooks half to death until they let him try his hand at it. - And- when he had tried it he liked it so well that whenever he was assigned to kitchen police after that one of the cooks could count on tak- ing a vacation while the K. P. did his work. It doesn’t need much of a gift Dlsplay Your Candidate’s Picture Order Bates or Samuels Posters of the Leader governor there is H. F.

Please send me F YOU livé in South Dakota, of course you will want to put a picture of your candidate for governor in your window, on your windshield, .or 'somewhere else so people can see where you stand. To satisfy this demand, the Leader is printing a quantity of posters with the picture of Mark Pomeroy ‘Bates, who has been indorsed by the Leaguers for governor -of South Dakota. -The picture is the same one that appears on the cover of this week’s magazine. The: Nonpartisan Leader headline has been eliminated. printed on heavy book paper, and will be sent to any South’ Dakotan at § cents each. Use the blank form below in ordering. There are still some:of the Idaho posters left. The League eandxdate for By writing Mr. Samuels’ name in place of Mr. Bates’, Idaho leaguers can still get posters of their candldate. as a prophet to figure that when peace comes that man won’t go back to keeping books or selling neckties over a counter or whatever he was domg before war came. All this is getting to what I have been leadmg up to. There is going to be a sweepmg readjustment after the war is over. Thousands of bookkeep- ers and clerks are going to become mechanics. Thousands of others will want to go back to the soil. It is sur- prising, the number of men who talk about wanting to get on little farms, if they can be sure conditions are right and they can make a living. The love for the soil crops out every- where; there is hardly a camp in the United States, I believe, where soil conditions permit, that has not a num- ber of company “war gardens,” full of potatoes, green vegetables and melons, planted by men who may be in Europe before their crops ripen. As this is written most of the farmer boys in the army are off on 60 or 90-day furloughs, helping: to harvest their crops. Many of them, when the war is over, will go back to the farms; many, on the other hand, will go to new occupations, found for them by the army. But whether peace comes next month or five years from now, there is bound to be a tremen- dous readjustment in labor. The army is teaching new trades and is giving new ideas. Its program of service will send gountry boys back to the city and city boys back to the farm, wherever they can be of best service. Meanwhile, one of the best services that the people at home can render is to see that, when peace comes, con- ditions are such that the men, whether they come back to city or country, can have the opportunity to.find the work that they are best suited for and can make a decent living at it. Any work to that end is as patriotic a service as can be rendered.

ADVERTISEMENTS Mother, Why Don’t You Take Nuxated Iron And Be Strong and Well and Have Nice Rosy Cheeks Instead - of Being Nervous and Irritable All the Time and Lookmg So Haggard and Old?—The Doctor Gave Some to Susie Smith’s Mother When She Was Worse Off Than You Are and Now She Looks Just Fine. Any Woman Who Tires Easily is Irri- table, Nervous and Run-Down Should Take Nuxated Iron to Help Increase Her Health, Strength and Vitality. “There can be no strong, healthy, beau- tiful, rosy-cheeked women, without iron,” says Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York phy- sician and Medical Author. “I have strongly emphasized the fact that doctors should prescribe more organic iron—Nux- ated Iron—for their nerv- ous, run-down, weak; haggard-looking women patients. Pallor means anaemia. The skin of an anaemic woman is pale, the flesh flabby. The muscles lack tone, the brain fags, and the mem- ory 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 sy- rups, candies, polished rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti, tap- ioca, sago, fnnna, degerminated cornmeal, no longer is iron to be found. Refining pro- cesses have removed the iron of Mother Earth from these impoverished foods, and silly methods of home cookery, by throwmg down the waste pipe the water in which our vegetables are cooked, are responsible for an- other grave iron loss. Therefore you should supply the iron deficlency m your food by using_some form of organic iron, just as you would use salt when your food has not enough Iron is absolntely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. Without it, no matter how much or what you eat, yoar food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don’t get the strength out of it, and as a-. conse- quence you become weak, pale and sxckly looking, just hke a plant trymg to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the followmg test: See how long you can work WHAT IS YOUR ANSWER? ort how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets ' of or- dinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much you have rained. Numbers of nervous, run-down people who were ailing all the while have most astonishingly increased their strength and endurance slmply by tak- ing iron in the proper form and’ this, after they had in some cases been going on for months without getting benefit from any- thing. But don’t take the old forms of re- duced iron, iron acetate, or tmcture of iron simply to save a few cents. The iron demanded by Mother Nature for the red coloring matter in the bl of her children is, alas, not that kind of iron. You must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless.
