my opinion that in practically nine times out

I am convinced that there are thousands of
such women who, simply by taking Nuxatcd
Iron, might readily build up their red-blood

generous. Time and again have seen
"Curly" do little acts of kindness
toward his chums that eft him
"broke," and then later have him
confide to me that, "The poor guy
needed it worse tnan | did," 1t was
such creed that made man like
Earl.
IN his work he was laying the found
ations for successful future He
realized that his success was only limi-
ted by his efforts and with that under
standing he worked hard. He was an
apt pupil and was making rapid head
way with his work when called. And
as he worked hard, SO he fought hero
ically to the very end, battling for the
life he loved. But his Maker willed
it otherwise and took him back after
such brief span of years of mortal
life.
It's hard to think of "Curly" being
gone. Well miss him much. His
CHEEKY smile, his boyish face and his
good will toward all have lefta vacan
cy that time will render more acute
to those close to him. and many a
silent tear will fail ere the memory Of
that lad shall fade away among
those who were proud to call him

URGES CONSTRUCTION
President Wilson Advises
That Public Construc-
ton Continue.

President Wilson, in his recent adj
dress to Congress, urged the immedi-
ate Development of public building.
He said:
1.-THE ordinary and normal processes
of private initiative will not provide
immediate employment for all of the
men of our returning armies. Those
who are of trained capacity will find
no difficulty, it is safe to say, in find
ing place and employment. But there
will De others at loss where to gain
a livelihood unless pains are taken to
guide them and put them in the way
of work. There will be large float
ing residuum of labor which should
not be left wholly to shift for itself.
SIT seems to me important, there
fore, that the development of public
works of every sort should be created
for unskilled labor in. particula
"What the country chiefly needs is
that all its means of transportation
should be developed, its railways, it's
waterways its highways and its coun-
try-side roads. "
In line with the Presidents sugges-
ti6n, public officials should prepare
at once for the letting of public pro-
jects such as roads, street pavements,
sewers, water works, bridges, schools,
hospitals and other public buildings
and should start actual construction
at the earliest possible moment. Men
released from the army, navy and war
industries should not, as the Presi-
dent points out, be left wholly to
shift for themselves. Prompt action
by public officials will prevent this!
Your influence with those who con-
troll public work will assist in bring
ing quick, smooth, natural and safe
return to a normal and prosperous
state. Your effort can be directed in
two ways;
| ~ BY urging public officials in your
city, county and state to initiate work
and that they are responsible for ger
eral employment at this critical time;
| ~ By urging newspaper editors, to
supplement the President s suggestion
in news and editorial columns, quot
ing local officials in statements of their
proposed programs and emphasizing
the necessity of public work to insure
prosperity.
To help in this work is in your in
terest and in that of the nation.

AS much as I have gone about France I
never ran across any of the boys from home,

least expected. Before coming to Marseilles
which was about two weeks ago we were in a
small town where only nine Americans were

that it is all over, we want to get back to our

Roosevelt's Last Message
To America.

New York Whab was the last
public statement by Col. Roosevelt

cert" here under the auspices of
The American Defense society, of
which he was honorary president.
II cannot be with you and SO all
can do is to wish you Godspeed, /"
it read. "rhere must be no sagging
back in the fight for Americanism
merely because the war is over.
sThere are plenty of persons who
have already made the assertion
that they believe the American
people have a short memory and
that they intend TO sreviye all the
foreign associations which most di-
rectly interfere with the complete
Americanization OF our people.
Our principle in this matter should
be absolutely simple.
tIn the first place we should in
sist that if The Immigrant WHO
comes here does in good faith be-
come an American and assimilates
himself to US, he shall be treated
on an exact equality with every one
else, for it is an outrage to discrim-
mate against any such man because
of creed or birthplace or origin.
But this is predicated upon the
mans becommhlg in fact an Amer
lean and nothing but an American.
.sIf he tries TO keep segregated
with men of his own origin and
separated from the rest OF Ameri-
ca, then he isn't doing his part as
an American.
1--WE have room for but one flag,
the American flag, and this ex-
cludes the red flag which symbol
ICES all wars against liberty and
civilization just as much as it ex-
cludes any foreign flag of nation
to which we are hostile. We have
room for but one language here and
that is the English language, for
we intend to see that the crucible
turns our people out as Americans,
and American nationality, amt not
as jewellers in polyglot boarding
house; and we have room for but
one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty
to the American people"

Can't Vote to Close School.
Madison, Wis.,. Dec. %, 1918.
Supt. F. A. Lowell,
RhineIander, Wis.
Dear Mr.. Lowell:-

Dear Mr.. lowell
j have your letter of December
2lst The people of the district have
no authority whatever to vote to
close the school on account of the
epidemic. The authority to deter
mine when school shall be closed on
account of an epidemic or wnen it
shall be reopened after it has been
closed for such reason rests with the
local health authorities. You are en-
Eirely correct in your conclusion that
in case the electors meet and vote to
close the school for the rest of the
year they shall have forfeited their
right to share in the apportionment
of state school money.
The question of whether or not
school shall remain closed as result
of the e3idemic is not one to be
passed upon by the electors of the
district.
The fact that school board does
not have a written contract with a
teacher does not relieve the district
OF liability for the teachers salary
during the time school may be closed
on account of an epidemic.
Yours truly
@. r. CARY,
State Superintendent.

weeks illness with influenza and
pneumonia, from which the whole
family have suffered, and was the
cause of the death, of her daughter,
Mrs. Jacob VanderHeyden on Wednes-
day of last week, but Of which the
mother was never appraised.
She was born in Germany So years
ago, coming to this country when 8
years of age, and was the last of
her family line. Her marriage to
Walter Merical took place at Clinton
vile, 81 years ago, and Eagle River
had been their home for IL years. She
was the mother of six children, two
sons having died several years ago,
those now surviving being James and
Hugo both in the u. S. Army, the
former at Fort Sheridan, now home

France. and one daughter, Freda.
Mrs. E. E. Adams, of Eagle River,
and Mrs. Clara Mueller of Kenton,
Mich, are neices who received a
mothers care from her after the death
of their own mother when small child
rem. Intensely devoted to her home
and family she was always ready to
perform acts of neighborly kindness

who had sacrificed much for others.
She was member of the F. r. A.
lodge from which she will be greatly
missed.
Funeral services were held at the
home Wednesday, at 1:3o p. m. con-

of the legislature, will be dropped
from the list of those eligible for
the biennial s'handout.'
'There is no reason why the laws
enacted by the legislature should be
printed in foreign languages, said
Senator Wilkinson in discussing the
proposed bill. "Citizens of Wiscon-
sin are supposed to be Americans,
and to keep abreast of the laws as
they are enacted they can easily do
so by reading papers published in the
accepted American language"
Senator Wilkinson said lie was
prompted to consider his bill as a re-
suit of his experiences as member
of the Second district draft board.
He related instances of young men
who were born in Wisconsin, but who
at the age of 26 were unable to speak
English.
1--WE even had case of father OF
boy who was drafted, who could
not speak a word of English. This
man, who was sixty years old, and
born in Wisconsin, required the SER
vices of an interpreter before he
could be examined as to his boys
status as draftee. And the boy was
in the same fix. It is time that we
either consider this nation of Amer
leans or partly foreigners. / am in
clined to believe that no member of
the next legislature will oppose my
bill to abolish the custom of print
ing the session laws in foreign-lan-
guage papers"

Senator Wilkinson said that he will
