PRICES OF NITRATES
WILL BE FIXED SOON

Washington, D. c., Dec. 3-Con-
gresham Byrnes of South Carolina
today held an. important conference
with officials of the Department of
Agriculture regarding the fixing of
prices for the sale of nitrates to
farmers.
He was informed that statement
covering this matter would be issued
here this week, but that at this time
it might be said that actual deliver
les would begin about Jan. 1.
There is no question that affects
the farmers of the South so much as
this one at the present time" Mr..
Byrnes said. Many Of them do not
know whether to purchase their nj
tra'e supplies for next year through
regular channels or wait for the gov
ernment to act.
The statement which is to be is
sued within few days fixing the
prices of nitrates is, l think, of in
estibable value to farmers every
where"

.SUFFRAGISTS WILLING
TO WAIT FOR treason"
Militarists and Loyaist, Withhold Ae-
ton for 'Fateful STEP"

The women are always being put on,
said Mr.. ellison Gardner yesterday at the
meeting of representatives of the Con-
gressional Union for Woman Suffrage,
from all over the country, who met in the
Cameron House, to discuss the policy to
be adopted during the present crisis.
Suffrage is always being put in the
background by our legislatures, every
thing is given precedence over it, she
said. Yet there never was a time in
the history of the country when women
were more entitled to a voice in the gov
ernment."
Fortunately, many of our women are
realizing 1t and are redoubling their ef-
forts to make the justice of their de-
mands apparent to all.
1--WE have in our ranks both militarists
and pacifists, and every effort is being
made to divert their attention away from
suffrage, 30 we may lose their support
But / am glad to say that our women
are able to express themselves individ-
ually either as pacifists or militarists and
still be loyal suffragists."
Owing to the statements appearing in
the New York papers that the sentinels
in front OF the White House were going
to quit because OF impending war. some
of the suffragists expressed themselves
emphatically that this was not so. They
claim the need of women having the
vote was never more apparent than now
and that they would stick II out.
The meeting was presided over by Mrs.
w. Thompson Burch, district chairman.

WHAT SENATOR MASON SAYS:

WHAT SENATOR MASON SAYS:
81 have often said l would never rec
ommend medicine of any kind; l be-
lieve that the doctors place. However.
after the hardest political campaign OF
my life, without a chance for vacation.
| had been starting to court every morn
ing with that horrible tired feeling one
cannot describe. l was advised TO Try
Nuxated Iron. AS pioneer in the pure
food and drug legislation, l was at first
loath to try an advertised remedy, but
after advising with one OF my meolcal
friends, I gave it a test Inc results
made up my mind to let my friends
know about 1t, and you are at liberty to
publish this statement if you so desire.
I am now siXty-hve years OF age, and
feel that remedy which will build
up the strength and increase the power
of endurance of a man of my age
should be known to every nervous,
run down, anaemic man, woman ana
child,
Senator Mason's statement in regard TO
NuNated Iron was shown to several pny-
sicians who were requested TO give lhelr
opinions thereon.
DR. Howard James late OF the United
States Public Health Service, SAID;
Senator Mason is to be commenced on
handing out this statement on Nuxated
Iron for public print. There are thou
sands of men and women who need
strength and blood-builder, but DO not
know what to take. There is nothing hkc
organic iron-Nuxated lron-to give In
creased strength. snap. yigor and stay
ing power 1t enriches the blood. brings
roses to the cheeks of women and is
an unfailing source of renewed Vltalty,
endurance and power for men who burn
up too rapidly their nervous energy IN
the strenuous strain Of the great busl-
ness competition of the day."
DIR. King, New York physician and
author, said: II heartily indorse SEN
ator Mason's statement in regard TO
Nuxated Iron. There can be no Vigor-
Gus iron men without iron. Pallor means
anemia. Anemia means iron defclency.
The skin of anaenaic men and women is
pale: the flesh habhy; the muscles lack
tone; the brain fags, and the memory
fails, and often they become weak, nerV-
GUS irritable, despondent and meiah-
In the most common foods of Amer
ica, the starches, sugars, table syfups'
candies. polished rice, white bread. soda
crackers biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti,
tapioca. sago, farina, degerminated corn
meal, no longer is iron to be found. Re
hning processes have removed the iron
Of Mother Earth from these impover-
ished foods, and silly methods OF home
cookery, by throwing down the waste
pipe the water in which our vegetables
are cooked, are responsible for another
grave iron loss.
Therefore. II YOU wish to preserve
your youthful vim and vigor TO a ripe
old age, you must supply the iron dem
cheney in your food by using some form
of organic iron-NuXated lron-Just as
you would use salt when your food has
not enough salt"
