People in Two Weeks Time in
Many Cases.

ANE glance is enough to tell which
IL people have iron in their blood
They are the ones that do and
dare. The others are in the weakling
class Sleepless nights spent worrying
over supposed ailments, constant dosing
with habit-forming drugs and narcotics
and useless attempts to brace up with
strong coffee or other stimulants are
what keep them suffering and vanity
longing to be strong. Their real trouble
is lack Of iron in the blood without
iron the blood has no power to change
food into living tissue and therefore.
nothing you eat does you good: you
don't get the strength out Of it. When
iron Is supplied 1T enriches the impoy-
erished blood and gives the body great
er resistance to ward off disease. Euuo
bers of nervous. rundown people who
were ailing all the while have most
astonishingiy increased their strength
and endurance simply by taking iron

Modern Poetry.

Poetry, like every great force, has followed an evolution of its own, and as 1t comes to us today we may trace in 1t this general tendency. It has tended away from the epic and the ex' pression of broad communal or na- tional feeling, and expresses now far more than 1t did. in far more subtle and intricate directions, the feelings of the individual. If 1t gives voice on public, national or international eveAts 1t does so from a far more specialized and personal point of view than of olc. and with something of the acerbity and narrow intellectual outlook of the party politician. The strength of mod ern poetry hardly seems to hs for the future In this direction.
