You Can Tell Which
 People Have iron in
 Their Blood Strong
Healthy, Vigorous Folks

City Physician Says Ordinary Nu1ated
 Iron VIII Increase the Strength ot .eNerTous, Rundown People in I've . Weeks Time in Many Cases.
 0KE5 glance is enough to tel Ehch people have iron in their blood. They | arc the ones that do and dare. nc others are in the weakling class. SleeplesS nights spent worrying over supposed ail- ments, constant dosing Uith habit forming drugs and narcotics, and useless attempts to brace up with strong coffee or other stunt lants are whst. keep them srfcring and vain iy longing to be strong. Their real trouble is lack of iron in the blood. Without iron the blood has no power to change food iTto living tissue 'and.i therefore, nothing you eat does you good; you doq't get the strength out of it. When iron is supplied it enricheS the impoverished blood and gives the body greater resistance to ward of disease. Members of nervous, rundown people N.ho were a;ling all the while have most aston ;shingly increased. their. strength and -en- dufance simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this, after they had ip some cases been going on for months without getting teneftsfron anything.
 If you are not strong or well you owe It to yourself to make the following test: Sec how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two hye'gra;n tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained. There is nothing like good, old iron 10 help put color in your cheeks and sound healthy flesh on your bones. But you must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and sssimilsted like ntixated iron if you want it to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless.

African Elephants Becoming Scarce.

One of the many after war short ages that the world will have to suf- fer but which will not prove a hard ship that other lacks have imposed upon the people is that of African elephants. It is all because the mighty pachyderms." as the circus bills say. have appropriated the irrigation canals in Southern Africa. Africa for their own particular bath tubs. and when they plunge into the cooling water to enjoy their dips they are not particular about the manner in which they tread about the dams and banks As result muct damage has, been done and the agriculturists have been Waging a relentless war on the pon- derous and destructive animals. Many housewives who have male members of the family of the "splashing" va rietv can appreciate the feelings of 8 South African farmer when he views the clutter, leftsl5y the elephants:
 Recent reports say that no more elephants remain in Zululand, that Southern Rhodesia's herds have been wiped out and that few are left in the Easterns Transvaaf. The African ele- phants, unlile those from India, are
 far from docile, and are not easily domeSticated

GREAT RESPONSE TO GYPSY SMITH

Let him that standeth take heed lest he fall.
 Look. in your hearts while I speak. ! ou may have big love in your heart ana no Christ there. You may be a preacher. and lose Him. You may be an evangelist and lose Him. You. may be popular and lose Him. The worst hell know is to loose Christ and try to keep up the. camouflage.
 Take time to right some stupid plunder. Take time, in the name of eternity, to right the past IL will pay. Mary lost Him and didn't know it. She supposed He was with the company.
 You can have lot of religion and no Christ. You can have a beautiful ser vice and no Christ. The most unlikely person in the world to lose Him was the first. Mary lost Him and she. lost Him where people go to find Him in the church. If you can lose Him in the hollest of, all places, what, about l some of the places you go to? We are trying to keep up the appearance ot religion without Christ, but what is re ligion without Christ?
 Mary found Him where she los,
 Him. And to find Him you must gc back to the place where you lost Him

The Governors Message,

Tuesday of the week that the Gen.
eral Assembly convenes, January 14th,
Governor Harding will read his Sec
ond message to the joint meeting of
House and Senate. We look for this
message to be one of the really i'm
portant statements of public affairs of
the past twenty years. Governor
Harding will have some' experience
from the recent war activities to dwell
upon. He will have some visions of
the future, if he is far-seeing, that
will be vitality important. He is going
to have to point out the dangers of
socialism, Of labor troubles, of profit
eering and point the way to better
working and living conditions in this
state, to the soldiers welfare, and in
connection with it all way to reduce
the war taxation that has grown to
the proportions of mountains.
We can see ahead many important
phases of legislation and state mat
ters that are going to prove interest
ing, to = every newspaper reader
and in newspaper readers is this ma
tion's enlightenment and advancement
more than anything else.
