Hintorx of the Word 9TeIoaran,.N

In the "reminiscences oF Frederick Seward, son of William H. Seward, he tells of the day in the office of the Albany Evening Journal, edited by Thurlow Weed, the political Warwick of his time, when the word telegram" was first used in that paper. Indeed, it is intimated that the word was there coined by one B. P. Smith and soon taken up and used generally in England as well as in the United States. To pronounce on the validity of this claim, who Is cOmpetent2 But it is always interesting to get a side light on the paternity of a word.- Christian Science Monitor.

HERES YOUR CHANCE To CUT
4. c. Of |; GARDEN CAMPAIGN.
PLENTY of Ground.

A list of vacant lots together with
owners has been compiled. There
are some 800 lots about the city.
which it is believed will be donated.
There are 500 lots altogether, or
close to that number, which may be
available. If you own a vacant lot,
and are willing to let it be used for
| gardens this summer, send in your
name, and the location o. the lot. to
the Y. NJ. c. A. office. Your name
| should go in by Friday. The plan is
] to list all of these lots at the assc-
citation Office AS fast as an amateur
gardener applies he will be assigned
to lot in his district. There will be
limit of one lot to man.
The gardener will be asked to sign
an agreement with the owner that he
will garden the lot, take care Of the
property and keep it intact and re-
turn it in the fall in as good shape
as when he got 1t. The gardener will
be asked to keep the weeds down,
and to see that fences and sidewalks
already on the ground are not hurt.
This keeping down of the weeds in
itself will be a big item, as vacant
lot owners have to pay men or the
city to do this ordinarily. Garden
er's names and addresses are wanted
by Friday.
After the gardeners are assigned,
it is planned to bring equipment into
each district for the purpose of
ploughing the ground. Now is the
time to get the ground in shape, and
that is why the association asks for
an immediate response from both
sides. By ploughing several lots in
each district on the same day, the
actual cost will be reduced. After
this is paid by the gardener he has
no other cost but that of his seeds.
The use of the lot is TO be extended
TO the gardener until he has harvest
ed his crops.
The association will arrange with
a garden expert probably from the
agricultural college at Ames TO come
here soon for lecture for the gar
deners. in which advice as to plant
ing and the like will be given.
Prize Money In Addition.
Prizes of $50 divided into three
prizes of sc5, SIS and $40 will be
awarded. These will be given to the
lots which in the Judgment of the
experts who will judge the contest
are the best kept, cleanest, most pro-
ductive and show the most varieties.
1t has been estimated that produce
from the lots would amount to $50
per lot on the average. This is a
minimum figure. With 400 lots in
use, for instance, $4,000 in produce
could be raised. If vacant lot gar
dening is not done this summer,
think of the amount of money that
is going to waste. When the cost Of
everything is so great, and when it
takes a dollar to buy what formerly
cost only two bits, it looks like a
good business venture to garden the
vacant lots and blue skies.

saved who now die every year from
pneumonia, grippe. consumption, kid
ney. liver, heart trouble, etc. The
real and true cause which started
their disease was nothing more nor
less than weakened condition
brought on by lack of iron in the
blood.
On account Of the peculiar nature
OF woman, and the great drain placed
upon her system at certain periods,
she requires iron much more than
man to help make up for the loss.
Iron is absolutely necessary to en-
able your blood to change food into
living tissue. Without it, no matter
how much or what you eat, your fool
merely passes through you without
doing you any good. You don't ge:
the strength out of it, and as a con-
sequence you become weak, pale and
sickly looking, just like plant try
ing to grow in soil deficient in iron.
If you are not strong or well, you
owe it to yourself to make the follow
ing test: See how long you can work
or how far you can walk without be-
coming tired. Next take two five
grain tablets of ordinary nuxated iron
three times per day after meals for
two weeks. Then test your strength
again and see how much you have
gained l have seen dozens Of nerv-
Gus rundown people who were ailins
all the while double their strength
and endurance and entirely rid them
selves of all symptoms Of dyspepsia,
liver and other troubles. in from ten
to fourteen days time simply by TAX
ing iron in the proper form. And
this, after they had in some
cases been doctoring for months
without 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 demanded by Mother
Nature for the red coloring mat
ter in the blood of her chill
dren is, alas! not that kind Of iron.
You must take iron in form that
can be easily absorbed and assim-
Hated to do you any good, otherwise
it may prove worse than useless.

Work in Keokuk as Part Of
Extension Work This
Season.
$40, 600 MAY BESAVED
Crops to This Value Could be
Raised on 400 Lots if
the Owners Are
Willing.

If you own a vacant lot and are
Wiling to donate it for garden pur-
poses send your name to the Y. M.
C. a.
If you have time before and after
..c.k, on Saturdays and Sundays to
take cure Of garden and haven't
any room yourself, send your name
to the ", M. c. A.
Vacant lots to the number of 500
may be found in keokuk.
computir g the value of produce for
each lot at $50 and figuring 400 being
farned, $4,000 may be saved people
of keokuk tins year.
AS part of it's extension work
program, the Ktokuk Y. NJ. c. A. is
prepared to serve as clearing house
in the vacant lot gardening campaign
which has been launched here. The
Y. M c. A wants at once the names
of owners of vacant lots who are
willing to allow their lots to be used
for gardens. The understanding is
that the owner of thes lot will be put
10 no cost whatever. that the lot will
be kept free of weeds, all fences and
walks kept intact, and at the end of
the season when the crop has been
gathered, the lot will be- turned back
to the owner in good condition.
The gardener will be he man who
has time before or after work, or
who has no steady empl oyment and
who can take care OF l,,t. He will
bear the expense OF seeds, and pre-
pairing the lot for cultiva ton, and
will have rhe benefit of tine crop al
the end of the season. He will also
have opportunity to share in the
prize money of $50 which will be
offered.
The Y NJ c. A. is acting only as
clearing house, and will have no
share in the profits or get any
money. 1t is a purely economic move
or its part to aid in cutting the H.
c. of l.. The Y will act only as agent
for the gardener and the vacard lot
and will bring these two together.
