Influenza leaves the blood thin and
this anemia is very stubborn in resist

The best way to correct the after

sacrifice of sentiment when Judge j.

Salisbury which had been in his fam

that he could not give the time and
energy needed to keep the farm up TO
its productivity and reluctantly released
it. However much one may regret the
passing of these properties out Of the
hands of families which have so long
maintained them it must be admitted

down to the landing thus formed. He
was still five feet above the coupling
however; but by leaning over the
swaying. humping edge and swinging
the axe with one hand, he managed TO
cut through the rubber hose on the
air connection.
After accomplishing this, axe in
hand, he leaped down to the narrow
ledge formed by the bumper in front
of the eaboose--driving his face into
the front of the caboose; and he only
grasped the steel rod leading from
the brake-chains to the wheel on the
roof in time to avoid falling half
boose and the rest OF the logging
truck The caboose had once been a
box car; hence there was no rallied
front platform to which Bryce might
have leaped in safety. Clinging peril
ously on the bumper, he reached with
his foot, got his toe under the lever
on the side, jerked 1t upward, and
threw the pin out OF the coupling I;
then with his free hand he swung the
axe and drove the great steel jaws OF
the coupling apart.
The caboose was cut out But al
ready the deadly curve was In sight I;

The National Beneficial Legislative
Committee of the American Legion
has just finished up three-day SEES
sion in Washington, D. c., consider
ing legislation affecting ex-service
persons, and the National Command
err, Franklin D'Olier, states that this
committee has worked out recon-
mendations for legislation covering
four features as follows:
/. Land settlement covering all
states.
2. Home aid to encourage pur-
chase of either rural or city homes
by ex-service men.
3. Vocational education for all
ex-service persons.
4. Adjustment of compensation or
extra pay for services based on
length of service.
The ex-service man should be CIV
en- an option of which one of the
four features he desires.
The American Legion at its ma
tional convention held in Minneapolis
last November called Congress- at
tention to the fact that, altho a full
year had elapsed since the armistice
had been signed, practically moth
ing had been done for the ex-service
man, especially those disabled during
the war. It required special meet
ing in Washington Of the American
Legion during December to secure
satisfactory action by Congress for
the disabled man to the end that he
would no longer be an object of pri-
vate charity but receive a square
deal from his country.
The American Legion has waited
in vain for Congress to take some
action to relieve the financial disad-
vantages of eX-service men and wom-
en- incidental to their military service
and is quite confident that altho
Congress has had its attention
called to this matter it does not APP
preciate the urgency for immediate
legislation which will show that this

MOTOR TRUCKS PROVE
BIG AID TO RAILROADS

The light motor truck is the logical
equipment for handling local ship
ments of freight, and instead of be-
ing competitor of the railroad, real
ly is a co-worker. This has been
proven in many cities and communi-
ties, it is declared, and figures to this
effect have been secured by H. j.
Haskard of the Haskard Motor Car
Co. He declares the day is soon COM
ing when all the local shipments of
Hutchinson wholesale firms will be
handled by motor truck instead of
ocal freight trains on the railroads
"The railroads will always handle
the long haul stuff and there are
many commodities that cannot be
sent via motor truck" said Mr.. Hask
