But people often fail to get the strength out of their food because they haven't enough iron in their blood to enable 1t to change food into living matter. From their weakened. nervous condition they know something is wrong, but they can't tell what, so they generally commence doctoring for stomach liver or kidney trouble or symptoms of some other ailment caused by the lack of iron in the blood. This thing may go on for years, while the patient suffers untold agony. If you are not strong, or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test

Paris, Dec. g, 5.45 p. m.-An allied army of 500,000 or more will easily be available for operations in the Balkans in the spring, according to General de Lacroix, military critic of the Temps, in a review in that newspaper of the military situation in the Balkans
 There are 15O, 900 troops of the allies at Saloniki and 1000 British at the Dardanelles could be transferred thence. says General de Lacroix, who adds that unless the British army evacuates the Gallipoli peninsula the chances are "99 out of 100 that within two or three months they would be thrown into the sea-

At the opening session of the twen- y-fifth annual meeting of the Rhode Island State Grange, in Providence, John $. Murdock, member of the state commission to investigate rural con ditions in the state, urged the farm CTS to get together. He said the great trouble with the Rhode Island farm CT is that he is badly disorganized and he is continually buCl1ing against a well organized market. He said the only hope for future success of agri- culture in the state is the estG blish- ment of a cooperative association. The true plan of cooperation is not more money for one man than another, but every man getting an equal profit The same was true he said, of the voting power of such an association. each man having only one vote and thereby preventing any one man getting a monopoly. Mayor Gainer spoke upon the progress of the farmer and Edwin c. Pierce on Preparedness.

At the business session State Mas ter Peckham made his annual address

At the business session State Mas ter Peckham made his annual address. He said that the national grange treasury has a balance on hand of S100,000 and that more than 800 granges have been organized during the year. AS the surest way to instill interest in country life in our boys and girls, he said, was to advocate the teaching of agriculture in the rural schools and to warn people that the serious handicap to agricultural de- Velopment in the state was neglect to furnish facilities for this study. He urged protest against discrimination in the tax laws of the state against the farmer. There should be protest against paying a rate that ranges from two to five times that paid by the owner of the money. Protest against paying a tax on what is not owned, while the holder of money does not; protest against a fixed rate on money, and a flexible rate on other property, which results in forcing the latter to furnish all increase in rev enue. The two and a half mills paid on the appraised valuation of bank stock, compared with eighteen mills paid on some real estate looks unfair especially when the bank stocks re- turn much more interest per dollar invested. The Rhode Island grange has gained materially in membership the present total being $500. The ses- sion is for three days.
