Worms Sap ChiIdren's Health
Need More iron in the Blood.

If you are anaemic, you need more
iron in your blood and the tell-tale
symptoms are pale face.-color-
less lips, ashen finger nails, poor cir
culation and short breath, and more
serious diseases are easily contracted
when in this condition.
Mr.. w. II. Hodges, of Kansas City,
Mo, says:--'I suffered from the eff
fects of bad blood, was rundown,
dizzy, had headaches and did not
feel like working. | had tried Beef
Iron and Wine without any help.
After taking Vinol four days no
ticed an Improvement and its con
tinued use built up my blood and my
bad feelings disappeared like magic"
The bad effects Of poor, deyitalized
blood cannot be oyerestimated, and
it is the peptonate of iron and the
true COD liver extracts contained in
Vinol together with beef peptone,
that enrlches the blood, improves the
circulation and in this natural man
ner builds up health and strength

Some Plain Truths"

Chairman Hopkins, of the State Committee of the Wyoming
Democrat party, is and has been suffering some from his past folies
and that of some of his other colleagues. "Plain Truths" by Editor
White reached the political heart of his party and while it is tough
ON the "al guy" yet it is true and may have a tendency to clean up
some of the unthinkable things which in the past has been a menace
to that party and to some of its good clean men,. The fact of the
demo party being the under-dog for 81 many years was due to the
class of tactics and politics that its leaders have engaged in. Like a
boil, all bad things must be lanced by some one, and that some one
must be a man who understands the eason and where to place the
lance to get results. AS it is, many of Hopkins leutenants are ex-
republicans, and under some of the democratic management of this
state there has been ample room for any old kind of dirty work, that
a man might want to turn his hand to and this has appealed to MANY
republicans, who not finding their own party rotten enough for them,
sought their level in the demo party, and while some reached their
own level, many kept on dropping. But still that does not appease
our appetite in wanting TO know if there is any connection between
Chairman Hopkins and the Attorney Hopkins of Sheridan county,

At a StandstilI.

Recently one of the oldest settlers in the Saratoga valley re-
marked to the editor of the Republican that it was amazing to him
that the great agricultural resources of that section had not attracted.
a greater number of serters. 1--WE # not much ahead of what we
were twenty years ago" said he. "Our lands are productive, we move
the water, but there seems to be no way to get the two together in a.
manner that will bring a profit to the farmer. A few stockmen are
making money and that is where we are today"
The remarks of the Saratoga gentleman call to mind a truly re-
markable situation. Over in the Saratoga country there are broad
areas of land that would make splendid irrigated ranches and that
would raise all kinds of small grain at a profit to the grower. Irriga-
ton companies have from time to time been organized, only to fail
or run on without result 80 far IS the farming of the land was con-
.cerned. Something must be done that will bring the Iandless man
to the manless land. Under our Carey act projects, our private irri-
cation companies and even our government projects, there does not
seem t. be any positive demand for the lands. Men with ample
means do not care to take up the burden entailed and men without
build houses, construct irrigation works and prepare land for crops.
done the family must live and that is why the poor man is unable to
make a start upon irrigated land. He must have the means of liveli-
hood from the very beginning or fail.
Over in the Saratoga valley and in many like valleys throughout
the west there are large areas of rich soil and ample opportunity to
conduct water thereon and make happy homes, provided the capital
can be secured and the settler placed under conditions that will
make his stay certain and profitable. 1t may be that the coming of
Prof. Mead will work a solution. Down at Denver the other days
the secretary of agriculture, intimated that there was something
great in store for the west. Possibly he has given study to the
broader problem of providing means for the establishment of set
tiers. But no matter from whence the means come, it is time for
the government to take hold and work out the problem of the settle
ment of the vacant lands of the west. This applies not only to the
rich farm lands of such valleys rs the Platte, but to the vast stretches
of dry farm lands and grazing lands as well-Laramie Republican

Uncle and the Kaiser.

1t is evident from the color of smoke over the city of Washing
ton, ID. @, that Wilson did not like the Kaiser's reply to his note,
over the sinking of the Lustsnis. WE'LL Well! Two bad! But even
at that we feel that Germany is right. When Wilson don't mind let
ting the Mexicans kill Americans why should he care about those
who deliberately thrust their neck into the moose by boarding a ves-
sci flying warning colors. In fact we think that the old saying "An
is fair in love and war" applies just a 3 much in the present case as it
ever did. 1t is a beastly thing to have premeditated the murder of
those people, yet, on the other hand, Germany had to call a halt
some where, and if Uncle Sam really wants to keep out of this affair
he should see that" those who sail on warning vessels do 81 at their
own peril. Wilson's followers say "Be firm" Yes, but tits a poor
policy that won't work both ways. Why not be firm with the ship
ping trusts and passenger lines, who III grabbing at everything that
looks like increased business, irrespective of the chances they are
taking in putting the lives of American citizens in danger who in
turn jeopardize the American Observation-Disclosures be firm in issuing
passage to American citizens on ships carrying the warning colors Of
any other nation.
