The League State Convention

NA1leLd fdllOEdINd)
A call for state convention OF the
Nonpartisan League delegates has
been issued by the state executive
committee, to be held at Valley City
March s.
At that time differences within the
League ranks will be thoroughly
threshed out. The strength OF the
opposing factions will be tested out
and It's future course decided upon.
Differences in the League ranks are
many, viewing 1t from a collective
standpoint. However, when all the
differences are simmered down 1t
really comes to only one big and i'm
portant cog In the wheel. The main
question, as we see 1t, Is: Shall the
organization be ruled by one man
and his adherents who hold their
state Jobs through his good graces. or
shall the principles of the organiza-
ton, that the majority rule, be guided
by q majority Of men who have made
the life Of the organization possible?
As we have said before, we believe
that the main fight will be won in
the precinct and county conventions,
not in the state convention. Dele
gates at the precinct and later the
county conventions will be selected
with view Of being pro- or anti
LANCER. That is the whole issue. II
the LANCER delegates are in the ma
jority the state convention will be a
mere formality. II delegates are
evenly divided, or nearly SO, then
horse-trading will have its day. with
the chances all in favor of the
Langerites.

The new type of code agreement Is
proposed to be used for such trades as
laundries, restaurants, taxicabs and
barber shops, but not for local retail
stores.
These, because they handle products
generally manufactured in interstate
commerce. are to remain organized on
countrywide lines.
The new policy was viewed at NRA
as meeting the increasing enforcement
difficulties In such trades as dry
cleaning, where it has proved next to
impossible to secure compliance on a
nationwide scale and in which prose-
cution Of violators is especially diff
cult because their business is so clear

young lawyer, Perry Deverest.

love with dashing. irresponsible
Drew Armitage. Drew told Dennis
st. John, his former sweetheart.
that although he would have loved
Stanley under any circumstances.
he would never have become en-
gaged to her had she been poor.
Then comes the crash and Stanley's
fortune 10 wiped out She does not
care % long % she has Drew's love,
but he says Il would be mad
ness to marry On bis income. So
with . dramatic STANLEY. I
shall never forget you and I shall
always regret having hurt you -
but never having loved ysu!" he
passes cut Of her life. Though
broken.hearted, Stanley accepts the
blow stoieally. She refuses to &C.
cept charity from her friends and
leaves her luxurious apartment.
She rents . cheap furnished reom
where she meets Valerie Blair, .
salesgirl Valerie II very kind to

In any case this homely iron medi-
cine which recommend for anemia
will do them no harm even If 1t fails
to make them feel any better.
! therefore call for a thousand
nervous wrecks" who fall within the
category mentioned-that is, pale,
weak, easily firing women of IS to
SOTO try this simple hematinic for
two or three months and then report
how fine they are or are not feeling.
No harm in other anemic persons
taking the blood-building medicine.
Especic!ly women or girls who have
dry graying hair, brittle or spooned
nails, frequently sore tongue with
"acid" fruits and the like, and finical
appetite.
For such anemic persons the dose
Of iron In the average nostrum or
even the old time prescriptions Is
quite futile. In order to achieve re-
suits the anemic patient must take
as much iron in day or two as the
healthy body contains.
The Bismarck tribune., 1934-02-13

as to the reason for such action
Grant that some companies have
dealt unfairly with the government
That is no reason why the govern
ment, in its turn, should deal un-
fairly with others which may have
been perfectly honest with it.
Then. too, there is another side to
the question. 1t is that of the scores
Of towns and cities which seem likely
to lose airmail service. either tenn
porarily or permanently, as result
|of this unprecedented action.
They can get along without the
service, to be sure. They had done
so for years before the service was
instituted and can do so again. But
there Is no question but that the pros
pective wholesale reduction In the
number and length of airlines Is a
step backward and quite probably a
severe blow to the growth of civil
aviation In America.
One hopes the president knew what
he was doing when he signed that
cancellation order. One hopes it was
not conceived as a mere gesture; that
it is not evidence of an urge toward
the spectacular in government.
But there is no evidence upon
which to base a judgment either way.
Persons who are quite as credible as
the president intimate that Q rank
injustice has been done. The sooner
the public knows all of the facts the
sooner will 1t be able to make some
estimate Of this unparalleled situa-
ton.

State Lay Groundwork
for 1894 Campaign

Pierre. 8. D., Feb. 13-(R-South
Dakota Republicans. seeking to regain
political honors lost in the 1882 elec-
tion, warmed up for the 1884 cam
paign at an informal conference here
Monday with pleas for party unity
and criticism Of Democratic state
and national administrations.
Plentiful oratory and two moves de-
signed to promote the party's inter-
ests resulted from the statewide
meeting, which was called by an un-
official group Of party leaders.
One resolution authorized delegates
to organize Republican clubs In coun-
ties outside the regular setup II such
action Is suited to the individual
needs Of counties. Other resolutions
adopted provided for q committee OF
81 to study the platform needs and to
submit recommendations to the regu-
lar party state convention, which fol-
lows the May primary.
Endorsement Of candidates and act
ual drafting Of the platform-prev-
iously announced purpose Of the
meeting-were scarcely mentioned
on the convention floor after prior
conferences showed strong sentiment
against such action In advance Of the
primary.
The meeting, the first statewide Re-
publican gathering since the 1882
Democratic landslide, brought sharp
criticism Of present administration
policies.
Declaring tax issues will dominate
the state campaign, State Senator
Roy Burns, Sioux Falls, said Repub-
licans should stand for immediate re-
peal Of the gross income tax law
sponsored by the Democratic state ad-
ministration.

Meteoric Display Is

Billings, Mont, Feb. 13.-tF-What
residents here described as the most
brilliant meteor they had ever seen
appeared from the northwest Monday
night, flashed at terrific speed over
the city and, after exploding, disap-
peared near the southeastern horizon.
A long train Of fiery sparks follow
ed in the wake Of the fireball. The
phenomenon was visible only tor
about As seconds, but In that time y
travelled several miles. AS it passed
over Billings, it was slowly losing AZ
titude.
The explosion appeared to occur
at point above the Yellowstone riv>
er southeast of the city. The blast
divided the fireball into two bright
specks Of light, which thereafter vanr

WHEN A WOMAN BECOMES WEAK.
PALE AND NERVOUS


No honest doctor could do more
than hazard a guess as to what ails
q woman Of forty who becomes weak,
pale and nervous. Guessing is quite
all right for doctor, provided he
does not tell the patient what he
guesses, In advance OF the examina-
ton. don't know-1'm not the best
doctor IN any number OF counties my
self-but I have had q unique op-
portunity to watch good doctors at
work and to have quiet word with
their patients -unbeknownst to the
doctors, and I gather that q first
class doctor usually makes a good
guess or two to himself as to what
he is going to find in his examination
of the patient. At least he runs
through his mind the conditions that
would be likely to produce such symp-
toms as the patient complains Of.
Indeed, have feeling that the doc
tor who makes an examination with
out some such clue or conjecture in
mind is not likely to make a salts
factory examination.
For week or two I have been tab
ulating letters from readers, and it
Is remarkable how many women of
IS to so complain chiefly Of being
weak, pale and worrisome in tempera-
ment. incidentally I have come across
q number Of letters from women who
declare they were nervous wrecks
but are now enjoying better health
and better nature than they have
known for years, thanks to a few
weeks course of Old Doctor Brady's
Homemade Hemantinic for Tired and
so on. You knoW-that iron and am

scribed here so often. Sorry, but we
cant repeat the instructions now.
You will find the details in the book
let Blood and Health"-send ten
cents (coin and a stamped address,

I do not mean to imply that medi-
cine for anemia will help any or every
nervous" woman. When any one
complains of nervousness or 'nerv-
GUS exhaustion" or nerve weakness
or anything like that I have no idea
what he is talking about. No such
condition as nervous exhaustion" or
nervous breakdown" is recognized in
scientific medicine. When doctors
use such terms they are either trying
to protect the patient from prying
curiosity or else they are stringing
the patient along without letting the
poor galoot know they don't know
what ails him.
But from the letters I receive from
people who practice nervous imposi-
ton (sorry, but I can not admit even
tentatively that they suffer from
"nervousness~ I am constrained to
think that what really ails some Of
them is simple hypochromic anemia.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
CidepnRie

Work in shop where cast iron dust
gets into my nose and throat. Is this
dangerous to health? (Mary c.
AnSwer-Yes, 1t causes chronic
bronchitis and sometimes leads to
phthisis or q kind of consumption.
Such dust should be removed by ex-
haust vents or prevented from flying
about by dampening.
Lore
Please tell me what the following
are used for: mercurochrome, carbolic
acid, cyanide Of potassium, boric
acid, borax. IS. d.
Answer-Mercurochr o me Is an
antiseptic for wounds, but think
tincture of iodin Is preferable. Car
bolic acid (phenoD is also an anti
septic, though seldom used now, be.
cause it is too poisonous. Cyanide Of
potassium is not used in medicine
it is a deadly poison, commonly used
by jewelers. for cleaning jewelry.
Boric acid and borax are both good
antiseptics. and comparatively non
irritating and non poisonous. In my
opinion there Is nothing better than
a solution of tablespoonful of boric
acid in a pint of boiled water for use
as gargle, spray, eye wash, douche or
other purpose where a harmless anti
septic solution or wash is desired.
No Substitute for Butter
Will a pound of nut oleo containing
one-tenth of per cent of benzoate
Of soda be injurious to person using
it as a substitute for butter2 (Mrs.
]. T. NJ
Answer-rersonally I should prefer
not to take any food which is of such
doubtful purity that the chemical
preservative Is necessary. And I do
not believe It Is good economy to use
any such substitute for butter.
