FOOD THAT is M0URISHING
Housewife Must Always Remember
That Proper Percentage of Iron
is a Necessity.

Iron should play an important part
in preparing meals. 1t is essential in
the making of the red corpuscles in
the blood and is directly concerned
with the processes of oxidation and re-
production. The iron of the food en-
tiers the circulation and is deposited
mainly in the liver, the spleen and the
bone marrow. Iron may be taken as
a medicine and stimulates the produc-
ton of hemoglobin and red blood cor
puscles, but it is better to get it if
possible directly through food and wa
ter.
The amount of iron needed appears
to be varied with different individu-
ais, depending on the nature of their
work, diet and other conditions Care
full experiments have shown that the
average man under normal conditions
requires about fifteen milligrams Of
iron per day. The average woman is
supposed to require about eight-tenths
as much food as man and the same
proportion of iron will suffice A child
that needs half as much food requires
the same proportion of iron.
AS long as infants are drinking milk
they get only a small amount of iron,
but it is interesting to know that
certain amount has been stored in
their systems at birth to tide them
over until they get diet which con
tains its share of iron.
Beefsteak and some vegetables are
rich in iron. In meat the iron exists
largely as hemoglobin, due to the blood
contained in the muscular tissues.
Iron in combination with protein mat
ter is found in considerable quantity
in grains. String beans, navy dried
beans, lima beans, spinach especial
ly, cabbage and dried peas are rich
in iron. Among the fruits that have
plenty of iron are dried prunes, apples
and raisins.

From England to Russia.

Intercourse between Russia and
England began in the middle of the
sixteenth century by the one route
that is still open, via the White sea.
It was hazardous and costly voyage,
the London Chronicle observes. The
crews of two of the three ships with
which Richard Chancellor made his
first trip in 1853 were frozen to
death, Sir Hugh Willoughby among
them. On his second venture, in
1856, Chancellor brought back with
him Russian ambassador, Osip Ne
jea. Two of the ships were never
heard of again, and the Edward Bona
ventura, after four months at sea,
was wrecked on the Scottish coast.
Chancellor, many of the crew and
seven Russians persisted, but Osip
Nejar was among the survivors, and
the English lords and merchants went
out in state beyond Shoreditch to well
come this duke of Muscovia."

Mr.. Merchant
To be continued

There are two classes of merchants
those who advertise, and those who
do not.
The man who advertises has the
best of the deal.
He keeps himself before the public
he keeps his wares before the
public--and he keeps their quality
and price uppermost in the public
mind.
People talk about the man who
advertises, because they know he has
something worth advertising-or he
wouldn't advertise.
Cobwebs never grow in the store
of the man who advertises, because
people buy his goods because he
does advertise.
People read the advertisements
they look for them and expect to
find them-and often end in forget
ting the mali who does not advertise
Advertising PAYS.
Get the habit, and grow with your
ads.

Historical Sketches
Continued from page l

Among the first settlers of the
town memory holds sacred the visits
and preaching of the man of God.
Among whom are Hale Whiting and
Noah Burlington, who must have
held meetings more than so years
ago and probably go. A Mr.. Lack
was associated with them also. These
were local preachers, we believe.
After these were Ezra Kellogg, -
Plumly and H. B. H. Norris, all of
whom labored with more or less sue
cess.
Not until 1924, however, have we
accounts of a society being formed
in town. During the spring, summer
and fall of 1924, a very general re-
vival was enjoyed through this town,
reaching to others; and a society was
then formed, which has continued
until the present. The number that
composed the first society we have
not the means of knowing, neither
of the additions and removals by
death and otherwise.
At present the records show the
number of 81, not all however in
Bloomfield.

Another cancer serum has been
discovered and is now in use at the
General Memorial Hospital, New
York City. Many seem to have been
completely cured by it, altho' they
were in advanced stages and beyond
the possibility of a surgical operation.
When tuberculosis and cancer shall
have been conquered by an antitoxin,
there will be great rejoicing. Diph.
liberia has already been subdued in

Simple Remedy.

A simple but efficacious steam rem
edy for cold in the head and hoarse-
ness is to inhale steam from sponge
dipped in boiling water. Cover the
sponge with boiling water, wrap a
towel around it so that you can hold
the ends of the towel instead of the
scalding sponge. Bury your nose and
mouth in the covered sponge and
breathe through nose and mouth.
When the sponge loses heat, remove
the towel and pour on some more boil
ing water.
! Cold compress is an excellent and
easy cure for sore throat. Wrap cloths
wrung out in iced water round the
throat and renew as soon as they
grow warm.

Fine Greatness

Nearly three hundred years has
passed away since William Shakes
peare died; yet the period from 1890
to 1912, the time during which he
produced the most remarkable series
of dramas ever written during the
worlds history, is but as yesterday.
Nay more, with the inevitable
progressl of time, the world more
keenly appreciates the wonderful,
masterful intellectually, the most
profound learning of the man who
could produce such work:-comedy,
tragedy, history, poetry, art, science,
theology, and ten thousond other
subjects were discussed by him with
the greatest skill-beyond the scope
of the most learned-yet he had only
a Grammar school education.
His drama was not popular because
it was too deep for ordinary compre-
hension. The people liked the shall
low, the spectacular, and the roughly
tragic. They were not clamoring for
seats to Shakespeare's Theatre; but,
through the ages, deep study and
reflection and higher degree of
learning have given Shakespeare his
proper place as the greatest drama
tlst in the worlds history. He died
a poor man; but plays like Hamlet,
Julius Caesar, and King Richard the
Third, will never die.
Oliver Goldsmith was so poor that
he had to live in an attic on bread
and cheese; but, who would not do
that, if he could write the Deserted
Village?
For his discovery of America, Co.
lumbus was put in chains and was
Inundated until death. Yet, this true
greatness is beyond debate.
Such is the operation of the human
mind and human progress that the
greater the man the less he is ap-
preciated, and men with the greatest
brain power are beaten and abused,
and logged and damned until they
die; and, after they have gone, their
greatness is discovered and they be-
come immortal.
This is so in smaller way in every
community. The persons who are
trying hardest to help their neighbour
are slandered and abused, under
mined and scandalized without re
ward.
Is the cause of this the slow ant
devious operation of the human
mind, or is it the result of delibera
ton and design?
Let the populace make answer.

Earth,a Dtansfsr

The earth's greatest diameter is not
necessarily at the equator. According
to the eminent Professor Henkey, the
actual greatest diameter is that taken
from the summit of Mount Chimbo-
razo. The line drawn from this point
to the opposite side on a point in su-
matra gives a diameter of 1929 miles.
