SEES GOOD YEAR
FOR IOWA LABOR
President J. Harry streif Notes Many
Signs Of Increasing Pros
perity In state.

J. Harry Strict, Of Sioux City, pres
ident of the Iowa State Federation
of Labor, and well known In Keokuk,
was in Muscatine recently and spoke
in an optimistic vein of the prospects
for the season, which is about to open.
Building and highway improvements
are planned Of Sioux City. Mason City,
Cedar Rapids, Keokuk, Marshalltown,
Fort Madison, Muscatine and other
cities, stated Mr.. Strict, indicating
that this branch of labor alone will
mean employment for hundreds OF
worfmen. While conditions at the
present time are encouraging, 1t is
said that improvements will be no.
ticeable in the near future.
The head Of the Iowa labor body an
nounces that the labor forward move
ment is being strongly promoted at
Des Moines. April will mark the
beginning Of two-week campaign in
which fifteen organizers will be en-
ployed to strengthen the labor bodies
In the capital city with more MEM
bers, Mr.. Strict asserted. In the event
that the plan is successfully carried
out in Des Moines, it is likely
that the same method of adding new
men to the unions will be employed
in other Iowa cities.
According to Mr.. Strict, the conven-
ton of the Iowa Federation of Labor
at Marshalltown, June 10, IA, Is and
,1s will not be lacking in any way.
The president OF the organization
plans to spend week at Cedar Rapids
where he will consult officials of the
state body in regard to the conven-
ton, an extensive program for which
is to be arranged The official call for
the convention will be announced be-
fore April 1.
Upon learning that Muscat1ne wom-
en- had taken active steps In the Iowa
suffrage campaign, Mr.. Strict declar-
ed that the Iowa Federation of Labor
heartily Endorses such movement.
The woman outrage plan has been
given the Official 20. K" at various
conventions Of the labor organization,
he said.

CAUSED BY Thin BLOOD

Many people think they have kidney
trouble because they have backache but
more backache is caused by overstrained
and undernourished muscles than by
anything else. In such cases the blood
needs building up.
Many rheumatic people suffer pains
that could be avoided by building up the
blood. When rheumatism is associated
with thin blood the rheumatism cannot
be cured to stay cured until the blood is
built up.
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills build up the
blood and sufferers from backache would
do well to try this treatment before giving
way to worry over fancied organic dis
ease. Rest and the tonic treatment with
DIR. Williams Pink Pills will correct most
forms of backache, even rheumatic.
For people who work too hard or dance
too much and sleep too little, better habits
and course of treatment with DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills are all that is needed
TO drive away the pains and aches that
are warnings of coming breakdown.
Two books, Building Up the Blood''
and "Nervous Disorders" will be sent
free, if you are interested, by the DR..
Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady,
N. Y. You can get DR.. Williams Pink
Pills at the nearest drug store or by mail,
postpaid, on receipt of price, so cents per
box six boxes, $3.50.

Department Of Commerce Issues Bull
Ietin Calling Attention to Short
age of Paper Materials
at Present.
SAYS PEOPLE CAN HELP
Wants Business and Civic Bodies to
Cooperate to Conserve
Old Rags and
Paper.

The department of commerce of the
United States Is sending out a warn.
ing to the effeNt that as there Is q
shortage OF payer material, it will be
wisdom for people to save waste pa
per and rags. Commercial and civic
bodies are. being asked by the depart
ment to urge indtSiid1tals and firms in
their districts to save refuse rags and
papers.
Following is the bulletin which the
department is sending cut:
The attention of the department of
commerce Is called. by the president
of large paper manufacturing CON-
pany, to the fact that there is a ser
ious shortage of raw material for the
manufacture Of paper, including rags
and old papers. He hinges that the de-
partment should make it known that
the collecting and saving of rags and
old papers would greatly better exist
ing conditions for American manufaC-
turers
Something like 5000 tons of diff
ferent kinds of paper and paper board
are manufactured every day in the
United States and large proportion
of this, after it has served it's purpose,
could be used over again in Some class
Of paper. A large part Of 1T, however.
is either burned or otherwise wasted.
This, Of course, has to be reraaced by
new materials. In the early history of
the paper industry publicity was given
tc the Importance Of saving rags. 1t
is Of scarcely less Importance now.
The department Of commerce Is glad
to bring this matter to the attention
of the public in the hope that prac-
tical results may flow from it. A little
attention to the saving of rags and
old papers will mean genuine RELIEF to
our paper industry and Diminishing
drain upon our sources of supply for
new materials.

There are some twenty
varieties of the mint plant.
The Sterling Peppermint is
a product of the choicest,
smoothcst-havored of these
many mint varieties.

is extracted from the Cassia
bush which grows in the
