weaker iron preparations.
In buying Acid Iron Mineral con-
centrated, the user should remember
that 1t is :jast a natural highly con-

Another advantage IF this natural

During our brief stay much has
been accomplished. italy will beneft
greatly from the greater cooperation

established between the two nations
Italy has emphasized the need for

these wants the benefits will accrue
not only to Italy, but to the United

this year is more than 100000 great
er than in 1916 and 10000. 600 greater
than in 1915 The records of the Ash
cries bureau show the total take Of
1915 was but 100000 eggs. In 1916
