mother and she was worse off than You
are and now she looks just fine" There
can be no healthy, beautiful rosy-cheeked
women without iron. Good physicians
have strongly emphasized the fact that
doctors should prescribe more of the
newer form Of iron--Nuxated Iron-for
looking patients. When the iron goes
from the blood of women the roses go
from their cheeks, and strength and vi
tality from their bodies. This newer form
of iron, like the iron in your blood and
like the iron in certain green vegetables.
il highly recommended to thousands who
wish quickly to increase their strength
and power Of endurance.
1t is surprising how many people suffer
from iron deficiency and do not know 1t.
Iron is absolutely necessary to enable
your blood to change food into living It's
sue. Without 1t, no matter how much or
what you eat. your food merely passes
through you without doing you the proper
amount of good. You don't get the
strength out of it, and as a consequence
YOU become weak, pale and sickly looking
just like plant trying to grow in soil
deficient in iron.
You can tell the women with plenty Of
iron in their blood--beautful, healthy,
rosy-cheeked women full Of life, vim and
vitality. You can get Nuxated Iron from
tee that it will do the same for you or
your money back. Sold by Eugene Jacobs

A TRIBUTE THAT HAS BEEN EARNED.

General Richardson's tribute to the Engineer Off
GERS of the Army who have been detailed for service
in Alaska since the organization of the Alaska Road
Commission and his comment the economical con-
strucion of the Richardson Highway under their di
rection deserved recognition of spendidly
capable men assigned to duty in Alaska from very
capable branch of the Government. The Engineer
officers Of the army who have been assigned to the
Alaska Road Commission have, of course, been re-
sponsibe for the character of road and the cost How
ever, great deal of cerdit for all the work of the
Road Commission in Alaska must be given to General
Richardson, himself, who long its President.
People do not always realize the conditions with
which the Alaska Road Commission has had to
tend it has gradually worked automobile highways
through the wilderness in the interior of Alaska It's
appropriations have not always been adequate, and
the purpose has always been make passable, first
trail for pack animals and sleds and then road for
wagons and automobiles, many miles as possible.
1t has been far different than road building in those
places where the money the completed road
available from the beginning and equipment in
place remained until the end
But under any circumstances the completion of
good automobile road from the of Alaska the
Yukon waterway a of less than 81 600 mile
the amount that it is estimated will have been
pended when the Richardson Highway shall have
be accepted a remarkable achievement. 1t is a
monument to organization that has done
,derfu things in the development of Alaska.

Alaska Statehood.
(Ketchikan Chronicle J

Comes now f. A. Sherman, Associate Forester of
the United States, and suggests that it might be well
for Alaska far west as the l52nd degree OF
longitude, and far north as the Arctic Circle pc
ititon Washington make this State. He is
of the opinion that Congress would listen with in
terest and with sympathy to such a petition Tor
statehood.
In his suggested arbitrary lines, Mr. Sherman
gives as his reason lines the facts that they
would all of the national forests, would take
in the Alaska railroad, would take in all or the
towns of any size except Nome, and would take in
80 per of the white population of the
Territory.
The suggestion of the Associate Forester is one
with much merit to it, And, despite the spare popu-
lation which by the way is several times great as
was the population of Nevada when it was admitted
the embraced in his suggested state and the
people of it might be benefited considerably 1t ap-
pears the people of Alaska could not be in any
worse position state than they are now with a
limited form OF Territorial Government.
Heretofore there has been some opposition to
statehood Alaska the ground that it would
be too expensive and that taxation would be unbear
able And that probably would be true if the whole
of the present Territory Alaska taken in. But
the district suggested by Mr. Sherman, the whole Of
it is producing country 1t is true that the Interior
has contributed much to the Territorial Treas
ury in the past few years have the First and
Third Divisions. but that the railroad is prac
tically completed, there is to believe
that it will make strong comeback and it will be
only few years until it will be able to hold its
end in good shape. Because of its possibilities it
should be admitted to the suggested state.
Through statehood, Aaskans and Alaska interests
would then be represented prOportionately and not
by arbitrary geographical lines at present, where
division with small population has much rep
reservations the populace centers. Under the
statehood the people who produced and paid would
have the say to how the expenditures should be
directed
Mr. Sherman does not wish to be considered to
be urging statehood this section. He merely sug
gests it, the thought having occurred to him after
he completed trip large part of the
which he thinks should be included in the State
In addition to handling it's affairs at home
Alaska would have representation then in both houses
of Congress and would be in better position to de-
mand its full of consideration at the hands
of the Federal Gov eminent. The time ripe
for the serious consideration Of the suggestion of the
Associate Forester.

World and TO George White at that time Chairman
of the Democratic National Committee, Mr.. Lane
pointed out the weakness of both political parties in
constructive leadership and the lack of definite and
progressive policies He suggested conference OF
super-mnds among the Democrats, and even gave the
names of some of those whom he would have sit in
the conference decide upon constructive pro
gram for the Democratic Party
Mr. Lanes list for the proposed conference includ-
ed Charles w Eliot, President Emeritus of Harvard;
Benjamin Ide Wheeler, former President of the Uni
versity of California; Col: E. NJ House. formerly init
mate adviser of President Wilson; Frank l. Cobb,
editor of the New York World; John w. Davis, for
merly Ambassador to Great Britain; Van-Lear Black,
proprietor of Baltimore Sun; Gavin McNab prom
inen San Francisco lawyer and leader of the Cali
fornia Democracy Senator Thomas ]. Walsh, of Mon
tana; former Senator James D. Phean of California;
Gov. John NJ Parker, of Louisiana, former Pro-
gressve supporter Colonel Roosevelt Richard Hook
err, editor of the Springfield Republican, and Robert
lansing former Secretary of Sttae.
Mr. Sullivan thinks the Lane plan would be a
good one but he adds former President Wilson, for
others to the list ought sit in the proposed
names have not been mentioned should be included
and of course he is right.
Such conference could not fail to exercise pro-
found effect on the party in power and those within
it who are charged with leadership It's reaction
would probably put pep and purpose into governing
circles that missing in lamentable degree
However, this all brings us back to the point OF
startingthe lack of definite leadership in the politi-
cal affairs of the Nation and particularly in the two
great political parties That leadership is lacking is
clearly evident
