Answer? (DM'GS Keeping Farm in Condition and Weil Stocked Best Kind of Aid for len Fighting in the Trenches. STATE ORGANIZATION PERFECTED Mrs. Theodore Saxon, of To peka, Made President Fur- ther Plans to Be Made atj Thursday Meeting. The Kansas Women's Farm and Garden association was organized at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday by i fifty women farmers of the state whose desire Is to encourage women to enter agriculture and thru efficient methods to Increase the production of farm products, especially during war time. Mrs.

Theodore Saxon, founder of the organization, was chosen president. Other officers elected were Mrs. A. D. Folker, of Topeka, vice president and secretary, and Miss Louise A.

Krlg-baum, of Pauline, treasurer. A committee to draft a constitution was appointed Miss Krigbaum, Nelson and Mrs. Harry Forbes. The organization will meet-thls week to perfect Its plans. The meeting will be held in connection with the Kansas war conference, Thursday afternoon, when 2,500 visitors from over the state are expected.

The program yesterday was so long that the business meeting was limited to the election of officers. Plans for war gardens and girls' training camps for farm labor will be outlined at the meeting this week. Practical Talks on Practical talks by men and women experienced in farming were made during the day. AH phases of farming were discussed. Pigs, chickens, thoroughbred cattle and soil tilling shared In the discussion of women's ability to run a farm.

"Pure bred cattle are more worth while." said Mrs. Forbes, of Topeka, a business partner of her husband in stock raising. "I can see no phase in the pure bred stock raising industry that women would not be able to handle. I can think of no finer thing for a farm wife to do for the loved one In the trenches than to have a foundation, be it ever so small, of pure bred livestock waiting on their return." Agriculture taught In the tural schools should Include the study of legislation as it affects the farm, Miss M'Edna Corbet, Shawnee-county superintendent of schools, told the women. Local soil conditions, horseshoe making, forging, steel tempering, harness making and crop rotation should be included in the rural school curriculum, she believes." "Every school should have a tract of land at Its disposal for a school garden," said Miss Corbet.

"It could be supervised by the teacher ot county farm agent." Any Woman Can Farm. Miss Louise Krigbaum, owner and operator of a farm near Pauline, believes that any woman who can do sweeping, washing and ironing, Is strong enough to run a farm provided she manages her work properly so as not to overtax her strength: An article on an agricultural school Just outside of Berlin was read by Mrs. De Witte C. Nellis. Miss Mary M.

Balrd, of the home study department of the Kansas State Agricultural1 college, spoke of the short course in agriculture to be offered by the State Agricultural college in Topeka February 6 with I C. Williams and W. O. Green, as conductors. She advised the women farm enthusiasts to attend these meetings.

Long Leases the Best. "Renting and Buying Land Leases" was the subject of an address made by A. D. Folker, county farm agent. "The biggest problem in Kansas today, agriculturally, is the tenant question," said Mr.

Folker. "To rent farms on a three- to five-year basis to a man who will keep livestock and will keep up the farm Improvements is better than to rent for purely cash returns." GREELEY COUNTY FARMERS HAVE GOOD BEAN CROPS Tribune. Jan. 12. (Special) The big snow storm in western Kansas stopped the threshing of the bean crop.

The bean growers expected to fill a car of beans as soon as they were hulled. Greeley courty never raised beans before by the acre, but this year, one party put out 320 acres, others from 35 to 100 acres, and they claim the beans are the best raised in western Kansas this year, and will net them from $36 to 985 per acre.

Lightweight -Champion Won Two- Thirds ot Hl Bouts In 1917 With Knockouts. New York. Jan. 12. That' boxing held its position as one of the leading sports, from the standpoint of attractiveness -to the spectator, during 1917 is amply demonstrated by the ring records of the past year.

Neither promoters nor pugilists are inclined to play the game unless there is reasonable remuneration involved and the fact that some seventy of the leading flove knights participated in close to ,100 bouts during the twelve months just ended indicates that the box office receipts were up to the usual standard. Such statistics as are available show thar. a large majority of the 1.100 bouts held, were staged in eastern cities where the contests are limited to engagements ranging from six to twelve rounds unless cut short by a knockout. As a result a large percentage of the bouts terminated in draws or no-decision affairs but even allowing for this handicap in reaching a decisive finish the percentage of knockouts was a trifle better than 7 per cent. Lightweight champion, Benny-Leonard, leads, in this respect, his record showing the surprisingly high standard of winning almost two-thirds of his bouts by knockouts.

Some Idea of what this 66 per cent efficiency means can be gained from a comparison of this record with that of other American title holders for the year Just closed. Pete Hermanr the bantam champion, won about 5 per cent of his bouts by the K. O. route. Johnny Kilbane, holder of the featherweight title did better, winning 10 per cent of his ring encounters by knockouts.

Ted Lewis, the welterweight champion, won 20 per cent of his battles in a like manner. The middleweight title holder, Mike O'Dowd, Just crossed the 16 per cent mark while Jess Willard, custodian of the heavyweight crown, did not indulge himself to the extent of defending his title and so drew a blank. CHICAGO TEAM INTO TRAINING SOON National League Club Will Play Fifteen Exhibitions on Spring Training Trip. Chicago, Jan. 12.

BURLINGTON BOYS LOSE, BUT GIRLS' TEAM WINS Burlington. Jan.

12. (Special) Burlington divided honors last night with the Emporia and Waverly teams in a double-header basket ball game. The local boys played the Emporia boys, losing by a score of 16 to 37. The Burlington girls won from the Waverly girls. 29 to 10.

Vail, formerly Physician in the Baltimore Hospital and a Medical Examiner, says: "Throughout my experience on Hospital staffs and as Medical Examiner. I have been astonished at the number of patients who have vainly doctored for various diseases, when in reality their delicate, run-down state was simply the result ot lack 'of Iron in the blood. Time and again I have prescribed organic iron Nuxated Iron and surprised patients at the rapidity with which the weakness and general debility were replaced by a renewed feeling of strength and vitality. 1 took Nuxated Iron myself to build me up after a serious case of nervous exhaustion. The effects were apparent after a few days and within three weeks it had virtually revitalized my whole system and put me in a superb physical condition." Dr.

E. Sauer. a Boston physician, who has studied both In this country and in great European Medical Institutions, says: am a great believer In Nuxated Iron, ft often acts almost like magic. Not long ago a man came to roe who was nearly a half century old and asked me to give him a preliminary examination for life insurance.

A letter to Governor Capper 'from Alexander Howat, president of the United Mine Workers of America, District 14, says the car shortage In southeast Kansas coal fields has been greatly relieved. Especially is this true in the Scammon and Weir district. In his letter to the governor President Howatt reports that the combined efforts of Fuel Administrator Garfield and Governor Capper have greatly relieved the situation and brought results. It was the following letter written by Governor Capper to Dr. Garfield under date of December 14 that secured action by the Washington authorities: I am informed that the situation as to car shortage In the southeastern Kansas coal fields 'Is more serious today than ever before.

The mines at Weir and Scammon have a normal output of 60,000 tons per month. They are now shipping about 12,500 tons per month on account of the car shortage. They have received only 133 cars in the last two weeks, and are short on orders 395 cars. The mines ate operated not more than two days a week. There are enough miners In the Weir and Scammon field ready, willing and anxious to work to produce the normal output.

I earnestly request that you urge the priorities committee of the war industries board to give special attention to this situation. If the output of these mines was brought up to normal it would greatly relieve the situation in Kansas.

DR. FERDINAND KING, New York Physician and Medical author, says physicians should prescribe more organic Iron Nuxated Iron to supply the iron deficiency. Opinions of Dr. Schuyler. C.

Jaques, Visiting Surgeon, St. Elizabeth's Hospital, New York City; Dr. H. B. Vail, formerly Physician in the Baltimore Hospital and a Medical Examiner; Dr.

James Francis Sullivan, formerly Physician of Bellevue Hospital (Outdoor New York and the Westchester County Hospital, and other physicians who have thoroughly tested the value of Nuxated Iron. Any woman who tires easify, is nervous or irritable, or looks pale, haggard, and worn should at once have her blood examined for iron deficiency administration of simple Nuxated Iron often increase the strength and endurance of weak, nervous, careworn women 100 per cent in two weeks time. "There can be no atrons, healthy, beautiful, rosy-cheeked women, without Iron." says Dr. Ferdinand King-, a New York Physician and Medical Author. "In my recent talks to physicians on the grave and serious consequences of Iron deficiency In the blood of American women I have strongly emphasized the fact that doctors should prescribe more organic Iron nuxated iron for their nervous, run-down, weak, haxpard-looklng women patients.

Pallor means anaemia. The skin of an anaemio woman Is pale, the flesh flabby. The muscles lack tone, the brain fags, and the memory fails, and often they become weak, nervous, irritable, despondent and melancholy. When the Iron goes from the blood of women the roses go from their cheeks." "In the most common food of America, the starches, sugars, table syrups, candies, polished lice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti, tapioca, sago, farina, determinated corn-meaL no longer is iron to be found. Refining processes have removed the iron of Mother Earth from these impoverished foods, and slUy methods of home cookery, by throwing down the waste pipe the water In which our vegetables are cooked are responsible for another grave Iron loss.

Therefore, if you wish to preserve your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe old age you must supply the iron deficiency In your food by using some form of organic iron, just as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt." Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques, Visiting Surgeon of St. EUabeth' Hospital New York City, said: "I have never before given out any medical information or advice for publication as I ordinarily do not believe in it. But so many American women suffer from iron deficiency with its attendant iiis physical weakness, nervous melan- choly, indigestion, flabby, sagging muscles, etc.

and la consequence of their weakened, run-down condition they are so liable to contract serious and even fatal diseases that I deem it my duty to advise such to take Nuxated Iron. I have taken myself and given it to my patients with most surprising and satisfactory results.
