WELCOME VISITOR OMAHA LAST WEEK. IN What Women Are Doing in the World Startlingly unique, but promising to do lasting good service is the American Woman's league of Manila, Philippine Islands, which was organ- ized last month to promote public welfare and American ideals on the island, but particularly to augment in every possible way the work already H done towards the development of § trade between the United States and i the Orient, and to further the devel- i opment of resources in the Philip- i pines. i Mrs. A. S. Crossland is head of the society and her committee on ship- i ping and trade named fifty members i on the committee—some one to rep- resent each state and territory of the United States to inform the commit- tee as to the industries of their re- spective states, and give publicity as to possibilities of trade between cach state and the Orient.

His father was very angry with him. After his father had quieted down he told him about the lady that was so kind to him. The next morning he was there right on the dot. “Here. take this basket and don't en it till you get home,” she said. He was very excited as he walked homeward. When he got home heé| called his father to him (his mother being dead) to help him unpack the basket. There was a turkey alrcady | cooked and a lot of other good things. There was also a note saying that she would give his father steady em- ployment if he would call on the morrow. That night they both went to bed full of turkey and other good things. They always had plenty to eat and his father is still working at the same place. (Honorable Mention.) | Life of Some Cranberries. Hazel Parmenter, Aged 11 Years, Ashland, Nebraska. Blue Side. I grew in the eastern part of this country. My mother was a plant about as large as a strawberry vine. First 1 was a blossom, then a green berPy, then the sun soon turned me red, and after that— Well, I was taken off the vine by a girl's finger and dropped into a cup. Finally I found mySself packed in a i big barrel and the lid was nailed on tight. We don't know what happened next, but we must have taken a long trip, for we were rolled and tumbled about. Then there came a rolling and bumping, and after that—whack! A hammer hit the head of the barrel and cracked it. It was the first time we had seen sunlight for a week. Oft came the lid and we found ourselves in a grocery store. A few minutes latet a rosy-cheeked lad came in and said, “Mamma wants two quarts of cranberries.” At the first dip of the cup I was caught; and then into a paper sack I went. The little lad took me home, and I heard his moth- er say, “We will have them for Thanksgiving.” Here I am and I will say good-bye. This is the first time I have writ- ten and I hope to see my letter print- ed. If I don't win the prize I am going to keep trying until I do. 1 wish all the Busy Bees a Happy Thanksgiving. 7 (Honorable Mention.) Thanksgiving Dinner. By Martha Johnson, Aged 13 Years, 717 East Fourth Street, Fremont, 1 Neb. Blue Side. ! On Thanksgiving, one of my friends asked twelve of us girls for, dinner. We were all there by 11 o'clock, which was the due time. When we came a person dressed like a turkey told us where to go, and then we entered a room. It was dimly lit and decorated with pictures of tur- keys and fowls, and there were also some stuffed fowls. In the center of the room was a stand with a bowl and long strings leading from it. After we had played some games we all found the strings that had our names tied to the end. We followed these | strings and they lead us to a place | at the table. At the head of each| plate was a paper,turkey, and you| could take the head off and it was filled with candy. We had a turkey | and a goose and many other delicious things for dinner..

New York, N. Y.—In a recent discourse Dr. E. Sager, a Specialist who has studied widely both in this country and Europe said: If you were to make an actual blood test on all people who are ill you would probably be greatly astonished at the ex- ceedingly large number who lack iron and who are ill for no other reason than the lack of iron. The moment iron is supplied all their multitude of dangerous symptoms dis- appear. Without iron the blood at once loses the power to change food into living glssue and therefore nothing you eat -does you any good; you don't get the strength out of it. Your food merely passes through your system like corn through a mill with the rollers so wide apart that the mill can't grind. As a result of this continuous blood and nerve starvation, people become gener- ally weakendd, nervous and all run down and frequently develop all sorts of condi- tions. is too thin; another is burdened with unhealthy fat; some sre so weak they can hardl k; some think they bave dys- pepsin, kidney or liver trouble; some can't Bleep at night, others are sleepy and tired all day; some fussy and irritable; some skinny and bloodl: wll lack physical power and endura In such cases, it is worse than foolish to take stimulating medicines or narcotic ,drugs, which ounly whip up your fagging vital powers for the moment, maybe at the expense of your life Jater on. it you are not strong and well you owe it to yourself to make the following test.

You can talk as yod please about all the won- ders wrought by mew remedies, but when ou come down to hard facts there is noth- ng like good old iron to put color in your cheeks and good sound, healthy flesh on your bones. It is also a great nerve and stomach strengthener and the best blood builder in the world. . The only trouble was that the old forms of inorgamic iron like tincture of iron, iron acetate, etc., often ruined people's teeth, upset their stomacho and were not assimilated and for these rea- sons they frequently did more harm than good. But with the discovery of the newer forms of o iron all this has been over- come. Nuxated Iron for example, is pleasant to take, does not injure the teeth and is almost immediately beneficial. , NOTE—The manufacturers of Nuxated Iron have such unbounded confidence in its announce- to any Charitable Institution if they cannot take any man or woman under sixty who lacks iron and increase their st h 200 per cent or over in four weeks' time, provided they have no serious organic trouble. Also y will refund your monmey in any case in which Nuxated Iron does not at least dou- ble your strength in ten days’ time.
