d affairs for the purpose of entertaining diveng minds
from bad channels incidentally taking what little and vau
able spare sometimes have.
For instance morning fleet of automobiles down to

prior and the boys were right on deck at the appointed
time. over-Strong
The trip was interesting but Valley Forge the day
was ruined by weeanng persons who had to make speeches.

One old the right idea He knew what Marines liked
better and lectures, and instead Of taking his party
drove his estate where he gave the fellows
plenty of swell eats drinks and allowed them to enjoy them
selves There also plenty OF girls tennis golf
swimming trap shooting and the did not neglect their duty
in svang themselves all these things That's what call

Another thing evening wanted TO take little walk

Navy Yard found impossible refuse and in due time was
back to the yard without having taken contemplated walk But
was determined to get started uptown again Again was

gave up into the Navy Yard where walked around
the parade ground for an hour unmolested
Then there are church parties nights at different clubs

\ NOISY BLOCK

Al summer long block has been
4 noisy ono. Fairly and late
Bows clad i'm khaki have hung out
Around the corner, where the store
That offers candy and ice
Served splcndidly meeting place
Under my windows, in the dark
OF summer nights they made rude love.
Their voices rose, as, unaShamed,
They paid their court.
And mingled with them, strdent shrll,
Were cirlish giggles hooking laughs
They sang; they danced they played upon
Iews-harp and whistle. And their din
Seemed always worst when had need
Of greatest quiet to d. my work.
Their scntricS paced The block. But they
We're without nerves, or else they liked
The noise that lttlc children made
Riding cock horse upon the shafts
OF combat wagons that lined
In a long row acroS, the street
The night before went away
More pairs of lovers wcr, below
Than | had seen for many nights
And midnight struck, and one, and two,
Before peace came and sleep
Vow am back The block is quiet.
The combat wagons have gone out
40 lovers send their voices up
into NV windows. Not shout
Skaters the silence. All is still
God-send them back All--every
safe-shouting dancing singing
Soon! Lou

Takes Iron TIE
Blood Is Bad
Suffered Two Years With
Pellasra Couldn't Walk

Built Her Up
TELLS WHAT KIND
OF IRON TO TAKE

Everyone's energy, vitality
and general good health de-
ponds 80 much upon tho condi-
tion of their blood, and the
normal functioning of tho vital
organs of the stomach, kidneys,
liver, and bowels. the slightest
irregularity should DO corrected
Immediately.
Anyone troubled with their
blood, for instance, is sure to
sooner or later experience uric
ncid pains, weak, lame back
lost strength, nervousness, head
aches, dizzy spells. or some
other kindred symptoms, and
iron has become so well known
as one of the best remedy every.
body should use IL. The ques-
ton is, in what form? Iron is
put up by the chemist in pills,
liquid solutions, and mixed with
all sorts of elements including,
in some cases altogether too
much alcohol for the good of
the system.
The cheapest, strongest, most
efficient remedy il plain, nntur-
al iron, highly concentrated,
and bottled just as nature in
tended il should be taken. 1t
ia called Acid Iron Mineral, is
sold by druggists in fifty cent
and dollar bottles. 1t goes from
two 10 six times us far. 1t will
help the digestion, stomach,
kidneys, and blood. If tho bow
ola ARE inactive a'good liver pill
like the A NJ Liver Pill at 25c
for n generous size box is re-
commended. People with nor
nal bowels should not use iron
formed in combination with
laxatives. Altogether too many
remedies contain purgatives.
To indicate how quickly Acid
Iron Mineral will cleanse the
blood and tone up the general
system and renew the wasted
strength the statement Of Mrs.
n. II. Phillips, of Kershuw, S.
g., is quoted below:

it ak weeks and using but four
small bottles, ! am up and doing

more good than anything have
