IRON AND BLOOD.

Few people know that every coura-
geous, red-blooded person, such as
our own soldier boys at the front,
has within his body fifty grains OF
iron, or as much as is contained in
an ordinary tenpenny" nail. To
be brave, courageous and active one
must have good, red blood. Our
men of iron are men with good
blood, good circulation and an active
liver. The poor, weak Stacker
who is not brave enough to go TO
war. is probably unfit because of
thin. watery blood. 1t is easy to
acquire strength and red-bood cor
puscles by taking regular exercises
in the outdoors, breathing exercises
in the morning, and something to
increase the appetite and the red
blood corpuscles.
The newest iron tonic is "lrontic"
discovered by DIR. Pierce and his
staff of physicians at the Surgical
Institute. in Buffalo, N. Y. This
"Irontic" tablet is combination of
soluble iron and herbal extracts,
which is proving wonderful success
everywhere it can be obtained:

$500 of this must go for board and
room while teaching. Then the teach
er is unemployed for three or four
months out of the year, or must bear
the expense Of going to another posi-

BACK UP YOUR SCHOOLS
WITH INCREASED FUNDS

ID. w. Pearce, County Superintendent
Last week the subject of increased
funds for school purposes was dis
cussed. l desire to carry the argument
little further and introduce some
concrete evidence.
1t has been previously stated that
every item of expense connected with
school maintenance has increased This
can be met only by increasing the
amount Of funds-the way we now
meet all other expenses. Lest we

desire to stress at this time the prob
lem and Importance of the teachers
salary. Supply and demand works
here as elsewhere.
Teaching, Of course, has been con-
sidered honorable" and has carried
with it certain prestige" The two
considerations have been accepted as
part payment, therefore smaller
salary has sufficed. But a change is
on. Old and new occupations are
opening up to women and men alike

there were nearly a thousand farmers
