stiles of life. We awoke to the i'm
portance of our export trade. Under
previously existing laws, it was almost
impossible to get our goods to market

lions were worse in 1915 than with US

the iron deficiency resulting from de-

If 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

Next take two five grain tablets of nux-

for two weeks. Then test your strength
again and see how much you have gained.
From my own experience with Nuxated

that it should be kept in every hospital

FATE PURSUED THEM
Train Bearing Wounded Russian Sol
diers Wrecxed-4S Killed.

London, Feb. 27.-A train carrying
22S invaded Russian soldiers who
were on the way home from Germany
thru Sweden, went off the track late
last night between Gefle and Sober
hamn, says a dispatch from Stock
holm. The first car, carrying twenty
three insane Russian soldiers, was
demolished and all its passengers
were killed. About twenty-five per-
sons in other cars were killed.
The work of rescue was made diff
cult by the condition of the passen-
gers, most of whom were blind, had
lost arms or legs, or were otherwise
crippled. Their hardships were in
creased by the fact that the wreck
occurred in darkness at distance
from any important town.

Winters Work Lost.
It was Wilson of Pawnee who left
the legislature with trouble song
and sad heart. He had spent the
winter fighting for municipal owner
shin of ice plants. He had directed
new deals on his bill until it had
made the rounds of number of the
more important committees Then
Wilson secured a place on the calen-
dar for his city home rule resolution
The member from Pawnee county
wore out a perfectly good throat and
much energy in his defense of the
home rule plan.
House lawyers worked on the Will
son resolution with cold chisels, jim

The action of the house committee
of the whole was regarded as a practi-
cal joke at the expense of the state
administrations program. All of the
proposed constitutional measures
recommended for passage, were
amended in such manner as to make
their operation practically impossible
and to afford no relief from present
conditions should they be written in

PROBLEM TO FACE
When War Is Over We Must Be
Awake, Says I'll. A. Wheeler.
Union Trust Co., Chicago, OFF,
cial Talks to C. of C.

when the war ceases the United
States will be face to face with some
of the most vital problems in its his
tory, Harry A. Wheeler, vice presi-
dent of the Union Trust company of
Chicago and a foremost authority on
trade conditions, said in his talk be-
fore $50 members of the Chamber of
Commerce at the dinner given last
night.
1.-The country has never seen such
an era of prosperity as it has in the
last two and a half years. Wheeler
said. Gold has poured into the cof-
fers of our country. We are con-
fronted with abnormal situations m
regard to money conditions, labor and
business.
within the last thirty months the
United States has changed from
borrowing nation to one of the
greatest credit nations on earth.
More than half of all the American
securities held in Europe have been
returned to this country as credit col
lateral for munitions and for food
stuffs.
And when the war ends all this
colossal amount will naturally flow
back to Europe again and a tremend-
Gus upheava1 in financial circles will
result unless the wisest business pol
icy is adhered to-.
Remedies to Be Used.
Mr.. Wheeler then proceeded to out
line the nature of remedies which
must be employed to prevent the up
! neaval.
The federal reserve board should
| retain at least 40 per cent of the gold
| that comes in to meet the outstanding
4 notes, and thus offset the recession
/ of gold which will naturally follow
the war, according to Mr.. Wheeler. A
new efficiency in our manufacturing
must be discovered to offset the COM
petition of foreign manufactures fol
lowing the war. We must handle the
abnormal conditions under which
/ labor is now living, when the high
prices now paid are reduced. Just
what the effect on labor the close
! of the war will make. Mr.. Wheeler
professed himself unable to answer.
However, he said, there must be
an end to the condition of affairs
which would have permitted the foul
railroad brotherhoods to almost com
pletely tie up the transportation Of
| the entire country The problem OF
| the reconciliation of the labor unions
to necessary system of lower prices
| is one of the greatest problems to be
met. A complete reorganization OF

Professor Harshharger will explain
and illustrate the application of the
laws of heredity to plant breeding.
and the principles of biology involved
in this work. He will review the life
and work of Luther Burbank, whose
remarkable array of 1900 new or i'm
proved plants pronounce him the
plant wizard of the world, and tell
how Mr.. Burbank performs his
miracles, and the scientific principles
exercised in his work.
Professor Harshbarger is himself a
practical plant breeder, having at his
home many remarkable specimens of
Mr.. Burbank's genius. He will Illus
trate his lecture with series of beautl-
full and expensive slides which he had
made for this purpose. Professor
Harsh barger and Mr.. Burbank have
been close friends for more than
twenty years, and every now and then
they spend a few weeks together in
Mr. Burbank's wonderful Santa Rosa
garden in California, where for forty
two years Mr.. Burbank has carried
on his patient and systematic re-
search.
Remarkable Accomplishments.
When asked to name some of Mr..
Burbanks more remarkable accom-
plishments Professor Harshbarger re-
piled: well, he has taken a small,
unpalatable fruit for example, insig-
nificant in size, with little nutrition,
and made it over into another fruit,
large, rich, luscious and beautiful.
An imperfect little daisy appealed to
him one day, and he developed the
insignificant flower into one several
inches in diameter. He has taken a
flower with a large. SNOWY bloom, a
handsome creature, but with an often
sive odor, and given it a delicate frag-
rant scent. He changed the hue of
the yellow poppy into silver and ruby.
He banished the pit from the plum
and filled its place with sweet and
juicy meat. He created a walnut with
a very thin skin-so thin, in fact,
that the birds could perch upon the
branches and drive their bills through
it. This would not do, so he re-
versed the process and bred back until
he had a nut of just the right shell
thickness. He also drove the tannin
from the walnut and has left the meat
almost as white as snow.
More remarkable still, he created
a white blackberry, large, and luscious
in flavor. He has developed rhubarb
to a giant stalk. and made it yield
all the year round. He developed a
better plum in flavor and flesh and
gave it the taste of the Bartlett pear
