from Kenosha before the opening of
the winter season. We want the wom-
en- of the city to join in this crusade
to save the children from winter
whooping cough. We want early re-
ports of every case that appears to be
whooping cough so that we can get
busy anG prevent the disease being
carried into crowded school rooms. If
we can have fair start with whooping
cough, we can prevent its spread. What
we want to know is will the women

The city of Kenosha will receive $11,-
442.26 in taxes this year from the Wis
consin Gas C Electric Company, accord
ing to the announcement of the State
Tax Commission today. Last year the
amount received by the city of Kenosha
was $14,10725. The amount this year
is lower owing to the fact that the last
legislature passed law giving part
of the street railway taxes to the coun-
ties, where it formerly went to the
state and the towns through which the
lines operated.
The total tax of the Wisconsin Gas &
Electric Company this year will be $685.
610.52 as compared with $38,859.20 last
year Kenosha county will receive 3d.
58278; Kenosha city, 81 ,44226; Pleas
ant Prairie town, $47.88; Somers town,
B153.89.
From the Milwaukee Light Heat &
fraction Company the county of Ke-
losha will receive $324.9o, and the town
If somers, $1,O55.94.
Street railway companies operating
IN the state will pay over $4,000 in
crease in taxes this year, according to
the tax levy and distribution tables an
lounced by the State Tax Commission
today. These figures have been filed
with the secretary of state for tax col
lection. The total amount of taxes paid
by these companies last year was $685.
764.50, as compared with $947,764,70.
A new law was passed by the last
legislature changing the distribution Of
the tax Heretofore Is per cent was
retained by the state and 85 per cent
went to the towns through which the
lines operated. This year the ortion
which heretofore went to the towns is
divided so that the counties receive 20
per cent of the total tax; the towns IS
per cent and the proportion to the state
remains at Is per cent.
OF the total taxes assessed against
these companies this year the state re-
tains $142,166.71; the counties will re-
ceive $3.50, 1924 and the towns will re-
ceive $616,647.95.
One of the principal reasons for the
large increase in the street railway tax
es, aside from slightly higher tax rate,
is the increased valuation of the Wis
Minnesota Light & Power Com
pany properties with the large dam at
Wiseta Last year this company paid
tax of $63,8S715. This year the tax
il $110,758.99.
The Milwaukee Electric Railway &
Light Company win pay total tax of
$425,729.SS, of which Milwaukee coun-
ty will receive $685. 45 and the oity of
Milwaukee $271,106.91. Under the old
method of apportionment last year the
city of Milwaukee received $329,432.06.
Giving 20 per cent to the county has re-
duced the amount to the city.
The Milwaukee Light Heat & Trac-
tion Company will pay total tax this
year of 1921, 142.65, of which Milwaukee
city receives $1,559.11.

are not urging the government to adj

they expect some pay for the adver-

LABOR AND CAPITAL
MUST SHOW UNISON
Government Plans Three
Year War Says Speaker.

Philadelphia, April 3.-Co-Operation
farmers and the workmen. was urged
by speakers at today's sessions of the
National Employment Managers con-
ference as one of the greatest needs Of
the country in the present situation
The speakers were Alvin E. Dodd, Sec
dustrial Education, and John Finch Of
New York, both members of the adj
visory committee of labor and wei
fare of workers for the Council of Ma
tional Defense.
1.-The government is planning a three
year basis of war;" declared Mr.. Dodd.
Every war measure drawn up has that
plan in view. We have been asked to
organize committees of citizens and
representatives to bring together
everything that can be used for ma
tional defense. 1t is not the idea of the
government that we are going to need
a great number of soldiers at present,
but all our industrial and financial re-
sources must be organized Immediate
~.
The food problem is serious. The
farmers must get busy and supply food
not only for ourselves, but for COun-
tries abroad. Above all there must bc
a complete understanding between
capital and labor"
Mr.. Fitch said that labor leaders
iNroughout the country are DreDarCd
to call upon the men they represent to
make concessions to aid their country.
There is danger" he added, that we
are likely to have demands made upon
some Of our people that they should do
more than they ought to do, and many
will try to do more than they ought
to do. This will prove Ineffective"
Restrictions upon the hours Of labor
should not be removed he said.

Former Secretary of War
Stimson Addresses Chica-
60 Mass Meeting.
FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY
Wall Street Must Not Do 1t
All-Foreign-Born United
Says. Hammerling.

Chicago. April 3.-The second great
patriotic mass meeting in Chicago
since the break with Germany was held
here tonight. Addresses were made by
Henry l.. Stmson, former secretary of
war, Rear Admiral Robert f. Peary
and Louis n. Halnmerling, president of
the American Association Of Foreign
Language Newspapers.
Mr.. Stimson asserted that the United
States should first lend financial as
sistance to the allies, for in that way
the nation is prepared; next with men,
as soon as they can be prepared.
Il have heard it said that our part
in this war is only to furnish money.
What an ignoble proposal" exclaimed
Mr. Stimson. after all we have said
about Wall street and the money power
in time Of peace, to propose to hide
behind their skirts in time of war.
Unless all signs fail there is a mans
job before this country in this war
and let us face it in a mans way. AS
soon as it can be prepared let US send
an eNpedtionary force of regulars and
volunteers to France. If we are really
fighting for democracy let us fight for
it with men. Let us show that Ameri-
cans can die for it as we'll as French
men,
In the course Of his remarks Mr.
Hammerlng said:
I'VE Americans must liberate the
world and to liberate it we must join
the allies heart, soul and body and
help the cause of world wide de-
mocracy to triumph over the old world
autocracy. Hundreds of thousands Of
Europeans have come to this country
as l came and the president and the
nation need have no fear for the loyalty
of the 100000 foreign born persons
of this country, as they are for Ameri-
ca first last and all the time"

New York, N. UT IL conservatives
ly estimated that over three million
people annually in this country alone
are taking Nuxated Iron. Such astonish-
ing results have been reported from its
use both by doctors and laymen, that a
number Of physicians in various parts
Of the country have been asked to ex-
plain why they prescribe 1t so extern
sively. and why it apparently produces
so much better results than were OBJ
tanned from the old forms of inorganic
iron.
Extracts from some of the letters re-
ceived are given below:
DR.. Ferdinand King, a New York
physician and author says: "Thcre
can be no vigorous iron men without
iron. Pallor means anaemia. Anaemia
means iron deficiency. The skin Of
anaemic men and women is pale. The
flesh flabby. The muscles lack tone,
the brain flags and the memory fails
and they often become weak. nervous,
irritable. Respondent and melancholy.
When the iron goes from the blood of
women. the roses go from their
cheeks"
In the most common foods of Amer
lea. the starches, sugars, table svrups.
candies. polished rice, white bread,
soda crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spa
ghetti, tapioca. sage, ferina, degermi-
mated corn meal. no longer is iron to
be found. Refining processes have re-
moved the iron of Mother Earth from
these impoverished foods. and silly
methods of home cookery. by throwing
down the waste-pipe the water in
which our vegetables are cooked is
responsible for another grave iron loss.
Therefore. if you wish to preserve
your youthful vim and vigor to a rire
old age, you must supply the iron de-
ficiepcy in your food by using some
form of organic iron just as you would
use salt when your food has not
enough salt.
DIR. f. Sauer. a Boston physician who
has studied widely in both this coun-
try and in prominent European Medi-
cal Institutions says: GAS I have said
a hundred times over. organic iron is
the greatest OF all strength builders.
If people would only throw away habit
forming drugs and nauseous concoc-
tons and take simple Nuxated Iron, I
am convinced that the lives of thou
sands of persons might be saved who
now die every year from pneumonia.
grippe. consumption, kidney, liver and
heart troubles. etc. The real and true
cause which started their diseases was
nothing more nor less than a weak
ened condition brought .on by lack of
iron in the blood.
Not long ago man came to me who
was nearly half a century old and
asked me to give him a preliminary
examination for life insurance. I was
astonished to find him with a blood
pressure of a boy of 20 and as fun OF

man; in fact young man he really
was notwithstanding his age. The

newed life. At 80 he was in hal
health; at as he was careworn and
nearly all in-now at so, after taking
nuxated iron, a miracle of vitality and
his face beaming with the buoyancy Of
youth.
Iron is absolutely necessary to en-
able your blood to change food into
living tissue. Without it, no matter how
much or what you cat, your food
merely passes through you without
doing you any good, and as conse-
quence you become weak, pale and
sicklylooking, just like plant trying
you are not strong or well you owe it
to yourself to make the following test:
see how long you can work or how far
YOU can walk without becoming tired.
Next take two five grain tablets Of or.
binary 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

tirely 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
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 de-
manded 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 assimilated to
do you any good. otherwise it may
prove worse than useless.
Many an athlete or prize fighter has
won the day simply because he knew
the secret of great strength and en-
durance and filled his blood with iron
before he went into the affray; while
many another has gone down in in
glorious defeat simply for the lack of
