Physician says Iron is Absolutely Essential to Grea

How Organic IrOn-Nuxated In

Weeks Time
This is not an age for weaklings
wartime methods of living have
raised the physical standards of
the nation. So many modern e
men and women have more "

result of eating coarse foods
and living in the open
that their vigorous health and
untiring energy are in sharp con-
trast to the weak, rundown con-
dition of those whose blood is
literally starving for want of iron.
To possess the power, energy and
endurance that win we must keep
the blood rich in strengthening
iron and unless sufficient iron is
obtained from our foods it must
be supplied in some form which is
easily absorbed and assimilated by
the system. For this purpose physi-

HERE'SANEW USE
FOR XMAS SCARFS

IRONDEQUOTT, N. Y, Feb. 90
Clarence CIendenon, a young married
man Of this village, says he has
something new and unique in the
line of barometers. 1t is in the form
Of a red necktie his wife gave him
as a Christmas present. He says
that every time he has an inclination
to wear it can tell exactly what the
weather is going to be for the next
twenty-four hours.
The tie is a silk one and its color,
when the weather is extremely warm
for winter, is the brightest red imag-
inable- When a cold wave is ap-
preaching the color of the tie turns
to a pale red, and while its pinkish
tone is still quite beautiful, it is
many shades lighter than scarlet.
One day Clarence thought the tie
would look well with his new brown
suit, which he was to wear to q
small dinner party. When he took
it from the drawer Of his dresser he
noticed that its color was very light
pink, almost a lavender shade. This
told him that the night would turn
very cold. It did, the thermometer
going below zero before o'clock
the next morning, making good his
pESulCllOuS dl the OluilSI party "nSES
he amazed the guests with an ex-
PLANTATION of his necktie barometer.
Since the dinner party he has
found the tie to be perfectly reliable
as a silent weather prophet, and
scientists here are all worked up
over the strange phenomenon. Clar-
ence says he wouldn't take 500 for
the tie, although he expects to be
offered that sum for it.
