1t merely showed that one group OF
men had gone out and another come
into the trenches during the night.
The footprints of the Germans told
that much. The incoming trail, fol-
lowed back, was found TO- emerge
from a woods, lying beside a fine
white road. The allied detectives
bending over their prints, followed
that road to the nearest German
cantonment and proved by still 9th
er photographs that the cantonment
was held by Prussians. Presto! The
French staff knew that crack Prus-
slams were opposing them, and that
it would be nothing short Of suicide
to attack.
Deduction Of this sort was more
than half of the work Of the aerial
photography sections of the allied
armies. The work of swapping pic
lures from the air was picturesque,
dangerous, heroic; but for thrill and
romance give me those sweating,
silent men in the dugouts, studying
photographs by the hour, catching
clue here, telltale mark there, that
made Hindenburg's plans an open
book.
Modern Photographic science laid
before each allied general a COM
plete picture Of everything the enc
my was doing and almost every
thing it was going to do. It showed
him unmistakably what his own men
were doing and what they could do.
1t relieved him Of conbicting stories
from spies, from human mistakes
for the camera does not lie.
Napoleon could but guess what
Wellington was planning; Foch
could send up a photographer and
within an hour know what Luden-
dorff was thinking of.-Dougiass

Memorium

In loving remembrance of our dear
mother, Crawford P. Brown, who de-
parted this life March 2l, 1917:
Days of sadness still come Ger US,
Tears of sorrow silently flow,
Fond memory keeps our mother
near US,
Though Heaven claimed her two
years ago.
Sweet be thy rest dear mother,
From trouble and pain
He hath called you away from us,
God grant that we shall meet again.

WAR ON PRAIRIE DOGS
Hart of Randall Wants the Under
ground Pests Exterminated.

Now that the big war is over, Sen
ator J. S. Hart, of Randall, wants to
wage a war of determination on prai-
RE dogs. A bill to provide finance
and fighters has been introduced by
him.
The present law relating to the ex-
termination of the ground dogs is as
Anticipated as a civil war cannon,
Hart says and he wants it remodeled
and brought UP to date. The old law
may enter upon premises once a year
to wage war on prairie dogs and it
provides only two dollrs a day as COM
pensation for the fighters.
Harris bill will provide that in all
townships where prairie dogs have
cities and strongholds the township
trustees shall make at least three
drives a year. And, as an inducement,
the measure provides that the trustee
who leads the fighting shall receive
four dollars a day and his assistants
three dollars day. !
Prairie dogs have about been
wiped out in our part of the state,'
Hart said, but the township trustees
have not been giving them the proper
attention. and those who have tried
have found it impossible to get
men to work for two dollars a day.
1 believe if this law is put into effect
it will be only a matter of short time
until there will not be a prairie dog
left in the whole state"

Is Your Blood Starving
For Want of Iron?
Iron Is Red-Blood Food-Nuxated Iron
Helps Put Roses Into the Cheeks of
Women and Strength and Energy
Into the Veins Of Men.

If you were to go without eating until
you become weak. thin and emaciated. you
could not do more serious harm to your
self than when you let your blood literally
starve for want of iron-iron that gives it
strength and power to change food into
living tissue. muscle and brain. Without
plenty of iron in the blood. no matter how
much or what you eat.k your food simply
passes through you without doing you any
good-you don't get the strength out of it
and instead of being fill"d with youthful
strength and energy you are weak, nerv-
Gus and all rundown. IL you are not
strong or well you owe 1t to yourself to
make the following test: See how long you
can walk or how far you walk without
becoming 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. Numbers of nerv-
Gus, rundown people who were niling all
the while have most astonishingly increase
their strength and endurance simply by
taking iron in the proper form. But don't
take the old kinds of iron simply to save
few cents. You must take iron in form
that can be easily absorbed and assimila ted
like Nuxated Iron IL you want It to do you
any good. otherwise it may prove worse
than useless. You can procure Nuxated
Iron from your druggist on an absolute
guarantee of satisfaction your money
will be refunded.-Adverstisem
