12, 1918. Ten Reasons Why the Democratic Administration Should Be Retained in Power 1. The immediate purpose of the Democratic party, the purpose which takes precedence of every other, is to win the war. The fate of true democracy everywhere depends upon being won. Its object is to rid 'the world once for all of the threat of violence and injustice which must hang over it so long as there government is anywhere which can an autocratic peace or dominate its fortunes.

The outrages against right which Germany has committed have directly touched our own citizens and our liberties, and they have done Anton threatened more than that. They right and liberty everywhere, and Germany must brought to terms by such a victory as will leave no doubt in the minds of her rulers and her people as to what forces control mankind. We entered upon our present course in self-defense to resist a menacing assault, directed against our freedom and our national integrity; we shall not abandon it until our, objective is definitely attained. 2. We are confirmed and strenghened in our support of the administration, and are in full harmony with it, not merely because we are at war and must stand behind the only common instrumentality thru which we can win it, but also because the administration has deserved our confidence by its record.

3. Our purposes look also beyond the period of the war. We recognize that the. war must of necessity be followed by a period of reconstruction, to whose problems it will be necessary that the best, most sympathetic and most liberal minds of the country should be devoted. Those problems will some of them be new, and many of them, the old problems, will wear a new aspect and significance.

They must be approached without regard to old party catchwords, formulas or prepossessions, in full recognition of the fact that they are new and must be dealt with in a new way. 4. As development as possible of vocational training must be undertaken, particular attention beIng given to the rehabilitation of those who have been in one way or another disabled by the war. Opportunitles for their industrial employment must be sougnt and found and they must be equipped to take advantage of those opportunities. 6.

And not in their case alone must the sympathetic aid of the Federal Government be given to the allocation of labor, the development of its skill and the establishment of proper labor conditions, but such services must be rendered all laborers and a systematic effort must be made to raise the whole level of labor of labor to employment and the conditions and facilitate do the access improvement of its preparation and training. We must seek to avoid in the future the conflicts between capital and labor which have been all too frequent in the past, and must to do so by measures of co-ordinaseek as we have hitherto not attempted. The statesmanship of must be devoted to this fundamental and all-important task whose successful working out is a condition precedent to harmonious democracy. Provision must be made for the settlement of all questions upon the single basis of fair: ness and justice. 7.

The whole industry, of country must be in the most liberal and enlightened manner. Raw materials and a all universal essentials like coal and electrical poly. power must be made accessible to all upon equal and equitable terms. The natural resources of the country must be systematically develed or development oped where, they have been delayed. Arid and waste lands must be reclaimed and agriculture, in general, further sustained and encouraged.

New industries must be fostered and the barriers removed which have stood in the way ones, and the thought of devoted to every impartial process by which the industrial prosperity of the country may be secured, by methods which will absolutely exclude monoply. 8. Railway transportation must in such a way as to be controlled, assure complete co-ordination, adequate development and the equal service of the railways in every field of economic activity. The water transportation of the country must be developed in such a way as adequately to supplement and, wherever advantageous, parallel the transportation systems of railways. 9.

budget system for the Federal Government has become imperative necessity, and the legislative and executive branches the Government should work together for its establishment. 10. There a single test and standard forstube, public policy. Every measure must put to this test: Is it just? Is it for the benefit of the average man without influence or privilege? Does it, in real fact, embody the highest conception of social justice and of right dealing without regard to person or class or special interest? (Political Advertisement.)

Former Health Commissioner Kerr says he believes his own personal activity today is largely due to his use of Nuxated Iron and that he believes it ought to be prescribed by every physician and used in every hospital Former in the country. Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw says: "I have been taking Nutated Iron for some little time and feel justified in recommending it as a very valuable tonic." Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. Without it, no matter how much or what you eat, food merely passes thru you without doing you any good.

You don't get the strength out of it, and as a consequence you become weak, pale and sickly looking, just like a plant trying to grow in soil deficient in iron. 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 after Nuxated Iron three times per day meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. Numbers of nervous, run-down people who were ailing all the while, have increased their strength and endurance in two weeks' time while taking iron in the proper form.

Manufacturers' Note: Nuxated Iron, which is prescribed and recommended by physicians and which is now being used by over 3,000,000 people annually, is not secret remedy, but one which is well known to druggists everywhere. Unlike it the older inorganic iron products is easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth, make them black nor upset the stomach.
