Lease Taken This Week by DsmInu
Men on Tract Adjoining CITY
Jail, at Platinum and Pine.
SIX SIGN LEASE THUS FAR
viii be Donated by Lsssess 10 SAL
vatlOnlsts, Who win Erect Fine
New "Hutment" Thereon.

An $4,000 home or 'hutmentr for
the Salvation Army is the latest big
thing on the boards for Deming. A
lease was made the first of the week
by the Home Real Estate & Invest
meat Company, j. A. Mahoney, presi-
dent, to a number Of local citizens
who are interested in the project, Of
the building tract adjoining the city
jail, at the corner Of Platinum and
Pine, for a period covering the dura-
ton of the war and four years there
after, the lease price being 5000 for
the first year and .$40O per year
thereafter. Up to yesterday there
were six signers to the lease--W. &.
Holt, Geo. d. Robinson, J. v.
Schurtz, Il. L. Foulks, J. G. Cooper
and A. A. Temke. When a few 9TH
er signers are secured, which is be-
lieved to be mere matter Of days,
the signers will suitcase the plat to
the Salvation Army at a stipulated
rent Of 81 per year as a site for the
new building, thus making the site
clean-cut donation to the Salvation
lists from the public-spirited citizens
Of Deming.
The lease carries a clause provid-
ing for the purchase of the site by
the lessees at any time within the
duration Of the lease. If this op-
tion is not exercised the building re-
verts 10 the real estate company at
the end of the lease.

be a two-story structure Of brick,
and will cost in the neighborhood Of
$4,000. The lease provides that it
shall not cost less than $4,000. It
will be permanent structure that
will be a valuable adjunct to Dem
ings business section if it ever is
given up by the Salvation Army or
ganization. 1t will have an auditOri-
um, and all club room eonveniences
for the soldiers and members Of the
organization itself, and will be fit
ted out and equipped in more than
ordinarily pretentious fashion.
The Salvation Army has had q
part in the war work that is hardly
second to that Of any other auxiliary
organization, and they viii now have
quarters worthy Of the fine work
they have been doing and which
they expect to continue. No relig-
ious organization is going to come
out Of this war with greater credit.
is glad to see the new i'm
provement, not only from our own
viewpoint but from a genuine inter-
est in the Salvation Army itself.

NORTHERN EDITOR BOOSTS
CODY AND SOUTHWEST
Faults In Any Country" Says ]
fvanderwlCken, but Sees Only
One Here

j. Vanderwicken, Of Grundy Cen
ter. la. is one more northerner who
thinks that the soldiers from his
home state are better off at Camp
Cody than if they we're at any Of
the northern environments, and he
doesn't hesitate to say so. Mr.. Van
derwicken, who is the publisher Of
the Grundy Democrat, and incident
ally postmaster. has been here for
most Of the past week visiting his
son, King, who is a member of the
l26th field artillery. King himself
is more than satisfied with Camp
Cody as a habitat, and his father,
while he would naturally like to have
his son nearer to him. says frankly
that he thinks he is better off than
he would be at Camp Dodge, at Des
Moines, for example.
'1n the northern camps said Mr.
Vanderwicken TO the Graphic yesteg-
day, "at least at Camp Dodge, the
soldiers have lost a third Of the
time they should have spent in drill
ing, on account Of the cold and mud.
It has been one Of the most severe
winters on record and the men have
suffered considerably from the cold
still when it thaws occasionally the
mud gets SO deep that the men soon
ehum it into a regular morass. They
tell me that the men have lost only
one day from drill at Camp Cody this
winter on account Of the weather. If
that is true the fact alone answers
every criticism | have heard Of the
war departments action in locating
the camp here. OF course you have
the dust, but every state has that,
more or less. I'm sure Iowa has it
in the summer months, and Iowa is
as free from it as any other state.'
The soldiers he interviewed at
camp Mr.. Vanderwicken found sat
isfied with their lot and uncomplain-
ing, almost without exception.
"You cannot find an absolutely
ideal spot this side Of heaven, but
remove the dust from this country
and it would come pretty nearly fill
ing the bill, as | see it, at least as
a place to put our soldiers into con-
dition for the war in France" he
continued.
Mr.. Vanderwicken spent the lat
ter part of last week looking over
the mining towns north Of here.

ment is at the northwest corner Of

RED TRIANBLE GETS
SEBT IN DEMING
HAS 30 CHARTER MEMBERS
Or. Frederick Perry, lust Back From
France, In Stirring Address Gets
New Order Under Way.

DR.. Frederick Perry, Of the Ameri-
can Y. M. G. A., who went to France
with the first American contingent
early last summer and spent six
months on the battle front, spoke for
an hour last Wednesday night at the
Chamber Of Commerce, before an
audience composed largely Of busi-
ness men and other representative
citizens Of Deming.
DR.. Perry has had some very dis
illusiOning personal experiences as
regards the human qualities Of the
Hun at war, and tells q thrilling story
Of the Achievements Of the Y. NJ. c.
A. and Red Cross in combating the
atrocities Of Germany's soldiery. He
declared that America has "saved
France, and hardly more so with our
army than with our Red Cross, "Y,"
and other auxiliary organizations in
the war work. His trip to Deming
has for its main purpose the organi-
zatiOn Of branch Of the Red Trian-
gle League, the basic idea Of which is
the perpetuation Of the Y. M. C. A.
organization, not only during the war,
but afterward. regardless of the out
come thereof. "Keep the Home Fires
Burning" is the slogan Of the Red
Triangle League, and at the cOnclu-
sion Of DR.. Perry's remarks num-
Der Of his hearers pledged their men,
bership before leaving the house.
The Deming organization. by the
way, is the first local chapter under
the name Of the Red Triangle, SO that
we may and in all probability will
have the distinction Of having had a
movement Of nationwide import
launched here in our midst. Chap
ters are to be established as fast
as possible in every town, county and
state, but Deming's organization
will always be No. /. Membership
costs 81 per year, and perpetual
organization Of at least million is
aimed at.
E. L. Foulks is chairman Of the
Deming chapter and Mrs. o. H. Al
my is secretary. Other officers will
be announced later.
Dr. Perry has been assigned the
territory Of New Mexico, Arizona
and West Texas. He will spend the
next few days at Silver City, Ty-
rome and other points north of here,
returning here for Q lecture ON the
night Of the 9th at the tabernacle.

that it is Nuxated Iron, or at least
something as good as NuXated Iron.
In regard to the value of NuXated
Iron, DR.. Sullivan says: "ln my talks
to physicians 1 have strongly en-
phasized the great necessity of their
making blood examinations of their
weak, anaemic, rundown patients.
Thousands of persons go on suffering
year after year. doctoring themselves
for all kinds of ills. when the real
and true cause underlying their condi-
ton is simply lack Of sufficient
iron in the red blood corpuscles to
enable nature to transform the food
they eat into Drawn muscle tissue and
brain. Without iron in your blood
your food merely passes through the
body, something like corn through an
old mill with rollers so wide apart
that the mill can't grind.
But you can't make strong, vigorous.
successful, sturdy iron men by feed
ing them on metallic iron. The old
forms Of metallic iron must go
through semi-digestive process to
transform them into organic iron.
Nuxated Iron-before they are so
ready to be taken up and assimilated
by the human system.
Former Health Commissioner VIM.
r. Kerr of Chicago says: From my
own experience with Nuxated Iron,
