 National officers of the organiza- tion reached this city several days ago by special train from Evanston, III, and were given a typical Califor- nia welcome by the various commit tees here in charge of the gather ing.
 Further Effort Needed.
 The convention keynote was sound ed by Miss Anna A. Gordon, national president, who declared that. while the crusade for prohibition carried on since 1874 by the w. c. T. U. had been crowned with success by the adoption of the Eighteenth Amend ment, the need for further effort was imperative "to make effective the en- forcement of the amendment in the United States in the light of its effect. not only here, but upon the temper ance work over the world" Miss Gordon urged upon the convention the need for correcting a general i'm pression that with the adoption of the prohibition amendment the work of the w. c. T. U. was over and de- clared that the need for the great moral force represented by the wom- anhood of the nation through the w c. T. U. was even more vital now than before.'
 One of the principal speakers on the days program is Mrs. Mary Har- ris Armor. regarded as one of the leading woman orators in the coun- try, and a notable worker for the temperance cause

(By lnternaCO1la1 NetFS ScrVlCS.I Vicksburg, Miss, Aug. 24.-The op- timistic agent of the Illinois Central Railroad here waxes as poetic as his claimants.
 The claimants hog wandered into the path of a speeding passenger train, his life was snuffed out, the hog-raiser lamented and sent in the following poetic claim: My razorback strolled your track A week ago today. Your 29 came down the line
 And snuffed his life away. You can't blame me; the hog, you
 see,

 The claim agent observed 1aconical- ly that the train, perhaps, was not to blame. In rhyme he replied as fol- lows:

 And killed your hog, we know; But razorbacks on railroad tracks
 Quite often meet with woe. Therefore, my friend. we can not send The check for which you pine. Just plant the dead place OCT his

THERE ARB so ,ooo .ooo. .ooo. 900 RED BLOOE CORPUSCLES INYOUR BLOOD AND EACH ONE MUST HAVE IRON-
 When your blood is starving for iron no mere tonic nor stimulants can put you right You must have iron. To get iron you must eat the flusks of grains and the peels and skins of fruits and vegetables as our forefathers did or take a little organic iron from time to time and eat more such iron-containing foods as spinach and apples. But be sure the iron you take is organic iron and not metallic mineral iron which people usually take. Metallic iron is iron just as it comes from the action of strong acids on small pieces of iron and is therefore an entirely different thing from organic iron. Organic iron is like the iron in your blood and like the iron in spinach. lentils and apples. It may be had from your druggist under the name of Nuxated Iron.
 Nuxated Iron represents organic iron in such ebighly condensed form that one dose of it is

 If you are not strong or well you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can 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.
 Over 100000 people annually are using NUXATED IRON. It will not injure the teeth nor disturb the stomach. Your money will be refunded by the manufacturers if you do not obtain perfectly satisfactory results.
 Beware of substitutes. Always look for the word NUXATED on every package and the letters N. l. on every tablet Sold by all drug gists in tablet form only.
