DON'T INVITE
SICKNESS
Thin Blood Is a Standing Invita-
ton to Every Disease That
Is Prevalent.

Thin, impure blood is an invitation
to sickness. The blood is at work, day
and night, to maintain the health and
any lack of strength or purity in the
blood is a weakness in the defense
against disease. Anemia sthe doctors
name for lack of blood. There may be
an actual loss in the quantity of the
blood or one or more of its constituents
may be lacking. Its surest symptom is
pallor. Anemia is particularly COM
mon in young girls from IA to II years
of age. 1t is not confined to them for
it is this same lack OF blood that pre-
vents full recovery after the grip, fevers,
malaria and operations a. 's.sss,e'
in old age and in persons who ~
been under an unusual physical CT
mental strain.
If you are suffering from anaemia
you can profit by the experience of

noticed the greenish brown spotted
lizards darling here, there, and every
where. in the burning sunshine. Pretty,
timorous. inoffensive, little creatures,
darting a bright look at US as they whisk
quickly by. They are shy and over
cautious. Some are of bright green
color and play together like kittens. We
chewed the leaves of the lentiscus as
we idled, for the natives aver that the
juice preserves the teeth.
A long stretch of sandy beach where
we have built our Chateau d'Espagne'
and the point of scudo is reached, a
small domain jutting out into the sea,
filled with a tangled mass of tropical
growth, and the sweet ba'samic odour of
the resinous pines.
A longer walk to Parata, with its
hamlet of fishermen and its Genoese
tower. Here one finds willing oars to
take one over to the Sanguinary Islands,
four in number The ''Grande San
guinaire" has lighthouse of the first
class, and semaphore. A bloody battle
was fought here against the Saracens in
the VIII. century. Hence the name, it
is supposed.
The Islands are the property of the
Ponte family, having been given by the
Genoese Senate to the noble Jean-J Jerome
Ponte, on the 22nd of May, 1910.
Prince Jerome Napoleon, who died in
Rome on St. Patrick's Day, 1891, asked
that he might be inferred on one of these
islands. He gave specific directions for
his tomb. "My monument shall be
simple" he says, "a pyramid of Corsican
granite. which can be seen from the sea,
to surmount my tomb hewn out of the
solid rock. This monument beaten by
the winds and the sea will be the emblem
of my agitated and tormented life. -
The French Government, however, did
not see fit to accede to his dearly cher
ished desire.
30 thou! whoe'er thou art, whose steps are led
By choice or fate, these lonely shores to tread
No greater wonders east and west can boast,
Than this small Island. or its pleasing coast"

they were driven 100 miles farther

no ships passed TO notice them.

"0ld" Vessels at Naval Reviews.

In few respects have we advanced fa-
ther or changed more frequently than
in the size and character of our naval
vessels, and that fact gives fresh prom
inence to each gathering of OUR men,
o'-war in New York Harbor. 1t is an
occasion that enlists the observation of
millions of people. 1t is spectacle that
even the most apathetic American can
hardly contemplate without little thrill
of pride. Its potential power is an as
surance of protection and appeals
strongly to the imagination. The re-
view this year will last from Octo-
Der IL to IS. In fact, some of the
vessels will arrive nearly week be-
fore the first date, but their alignment
and the marshaling process will be
deferred until the roll call is complete.
Were feet of old-fashioned sailing
frigates to make its appearance in any
harbor to-day, the wharves would be
lined with curious and interested spec
tators. One feature of the approaching
naval review of Our feet to which
special attention ought to be called-as
a Sign of the times"-will be the par
ticipation in the pageant of the "old"
cruiser Baltimore. To the uninitiated
this may mean a,battered old fighter of
the days of wind power. But it is only
twenty-eight years ago that the Balti-
more was christened. 1t was fourteen
years ago that she shared in the dis
tinction of putting out of commission
Montijo's Spanish feet in Ma
Mia Bay. Yet she is now a curiosity,
candidate for the museum.
