You need iron in the blood. Every
healthy man or woman should have
about as much iron in his or her body

is to take an iron tonic called Iron

A trawler one evening came into a
port where lay at anchor destroyer

efforts Of the officer Of the watch on

fruitless.
On the matter being reported to the

Status Of Arab Nation.

The Arab nation Is without money
or natural resources. Its territory con-
tains neither mineral nor external agri-
cultural wealth-but the redemption
Of Mesopotamia will afford the Arab
of the future opportunity for aggran-
dizement. There, under semi-inde-
pendence, after barrages on the Tigris
and Euphrates have been built by Brit
:sh energy and cash, Bagdad may rise
to higher scale of learning, splendor
and wealth than under the caliphat OF
Haroun al Raschid.
OF the entire outcome from the war,
therefore, notes correspondent, the
Arab renaissance Is assuredly not the
least momentous. Historically, 1t will
mark the advent Of new era; ethno-
logically it becomes a charming study
Of futurists Of literature.

ONCE BUSY CITY NOW QUIET
W shy Has Little to Show That 1t Was
at One Time Liveliest Place OF
It's Size in Europe.

To the eastward of Sweden, in the
inhospitable Baltic, lies the great
island Of Cortland, with its capital OF
Wisely. Little visited and little known,
Wisely is one of the most interesting
cities Of northern Europe. It is In the
track of half the Russian and Scandi-
navian sea commerce. but few ships
make the land today in which was once
the busiest of northern harbors.
Land at Wisely and you find a quiet
little city with UNCOVERED houses ana
gardens Of roses. going about Its unim.
portant affairs in an atmosphere OF
placid calm. It takes a considerable
effort of the Imagination to call up q
picture of the times when Wisby was
to the Baltic and the North sea what
Venice in the height Of her power was
to the Mediterranean. WHISKY In those
days was the wealthiest and hveliest
city of its size in Europe.
The men of Wisely seem to have been
traders from the beginning. Back in
the ancient Morse chronicles there is
mention made of Wisely galleys that
went all over the known globe and
traded the treasures of the Levant
with Morse kings. Today they are still
digging about in a desultory fashion
on the island in search Of historical
relics and the shovels bring up coins
of all the ancient nations-cOins Of old
Britain, of barbarian Russia, Of the
numberless German states, Of France
gathered the gold Of every land with
her venturous trading keels, in times
when little business trip had as much
romance and danger as the forays Of a
knight Grant fighting oyer his lady's
eyebrow.

Troubles Were His Own.

One day after shoveling the snow
from the sidewalk for two hours little
Patsy, who lived right next door to
Kerrigan, began to cry. whats the
trouble, my little man?" said Kerrigan.
"A bad tramp come along and stole
the snow shovel from the boy next
door," swell, my lad, it's very nice
thing to be sympathetic" said Kerri-
gan, ''but you mustn't worry so over
other peoples affairs" ut isn't that"
said the boy. I'm crying because he
didn't steal my shovel. too"

when she found herself alone in that
dark stateroom her hands trembled
so with excitement that for moment
she fumbled in vain for the switch.
