MAKE DELICATE, NERVOUS,

WEEKS TIME IN MANY CASES.
I NEW YORK, N. Y.-Most people
foolishly seem to think they are going
to get renewed health and strength
from some stimulating medicine, sc.
cret nostrum or narcotic drug, said
DIR. Sauer, well known Specialist
who has studied widely both In this
country and Europe, when, as a matter
of fact, real and true strength can
only come from the food you eat. 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 condi-
tion they know something Is wrong
but they can't tell what, so they gen.
orally commence doctoring for stom-
ach, liver or kidney trouble or symp.
toms 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. II you
arc not strong or well, you owe 1t to
yourself to make the following test:
See how long you can work or how
Tar you can walk without becoming
tired. Next take two flve.grain tablets
or ordinary nuxated iron three times
per day after meals for two weeks.
Then test your strength again and see
for yourself how much you have gain

Prove What Swamp Root Will Do For w,
Salvini's Descendants.

Salvini, the great Italian tragedian,
made 1t condition that none of his
sons should act in Italy so long as he
remained on the stage. So Gustavo
was banished to the other countries
or the continent and acted In Russia
and Austria with some successes. Alex
ander learned the English language
and played In this country until he
died at an early age. Tomaso is now
an actor In Italy and is said to have in
herited to a greater degree than any OF
his brothers the talents of his father.
Salvini was married twice; first to
Clemehtine Cazzola. m eminent Italian
actress, who died. leaving him three
small children. Many years later he
married an Englishwoman named Lot
tie Sharp, by whom he had two chill
dren. His grandchildren have attract

Preserving Foods.

new method has been discovered,
says an English paper, for preserving
various food products, especially milk
powder, the idea being based upon
placing the substance In n sealed YES
sci or packing case with inert gas. so
that this latter prevents the usual
spelling of contents by the action Of
the air. In the French patented pro-
cess the milk powder Is packed in
metal boxes of convenient size, which
are entirely sealed except for n pin
hole that is left ut the top. A number
OF such boxes are put i'm chamber
and the air Is exhausted by means of
an air pump When this operation Is
hniShed valves are opened which allow
nitrogen TO eater the chamber and AL
up the several boyes. When opening
up the chamber the boxes are quickly
removed and the pirhole soldered be-
fore an appr"ciable amount of air has
time to enter. H. this way the con
tents of the boxes are kept In an mt
mosphere of inert gas, und the process
Is thus practical from an industrial
standpoint.
