When you begin to get around after siege of any serious illness, the first thing you notice is your lack of strength.
 You just seem tired and worn out, and unable to get back your energy.
 Your blood must have been poor in the first place, or probably you would have been prevented from becoming sick, for a strong, iron-blooded system will resist and throw off attacks of disease germs.
 However, after spell of sickness, your condition is that what little iron you did have in your blood is gone, burnt out by the fever, and in the endeavor of your system to fight the swarming germs, and the poi sons they deposited in your blood.
 Having recovered from the disease, rlghted the disorder, or overcome whatever it was that made you i'll, the next thing to do is to get back your strength. This you lean do with the help of ZIRO Iron Tonic, the ideal strengthening tonic for all con valescent patients.

sunrise, if the telescope is turned first to the brilliant Venus. now far in the southeast, the more distant planet will be found in the same field. only about half degree to the north of Venus.
 Both Neptune and Uranus appear as faint, greenish stars in small tele- scope, and neither of them will prob ably show a planetary disc. If the night is an, unusually good one, how ever, so that the star images are but little blurred, they may be seen to shine with a different luster from that of the stars; the two planets will, in fact look much like nebulous stars.
 These two great worlds form pair of twins. much as Venus and the earth do. They are each a little more. than SO.000 miles in diameter. and they are in much the same physical condition. A cubic foot of either of them would weigh but little more than a cubic fot of water, instead of five and one half times as much. as is the case with our solid earth. Evidently they are still in a vaporous condition. and their life as worlds lies far in the future. Evidently, also. they appear so faint and small to us only because of their great distance away.
 It is very remarkable that the axis about which Uranus turns is so very
 Highly inclined that the sun. in the ;ourse of it's yearly motion there, mounts to within eight degrees of the 'ole of the heavens. But we must re- member that a year on Uranus is S4 of our years in length Thus the trppic zone includes nearly the whole planet. During 42 years the sun shines down at noon from almost overhead in the north hemisphere, while at the soutl1s pole of the planet there is night Then for 42 years there is night at the it's regular succession of day and night But as there are no frigid zones on this planet there is nowhere a Land of the Midnight Sun" there
 THE PLANETS IN MARCH
 Mercury will reach it's greatest dis tance east of the sun on March 3, when 1t will set, almost due west, more than an hour after sunset. It will enter the morning sky on March 20 and will reach it's greatest distance west of the sun on April IT.
 Venus is still seen brilliantly shining Tn the morning sky, far in the south east, before sunrise, but it is steadily approaching the suns rays. On March 1t rises about 1 hour 30 minutes be- fore sunrise, but on account of It's northward motion this time is only diminished to about one hour by March S1. In the telescope Venus now looks about three-fourths full.
 Mars is daily becoming more bril- liant and approaching it's most favor able position for observation in the telescope. The reader may have seen it toward midnight, shining with an ominous reddish light. almost in the

it is the essential work of the good citizen to be a teacher. It is a duty we can not evade or neglect, nor can we hand over our entire responsibility to any one group of people whom we call teachers. ..
 we pay them less than a day la bOrer, we expect from them nothing short of a miracle. If any class of people might be justified in striking, it seems to me it might be the teach CTS. But they are the very ones who never will strike Their usefulness and devotion are too earnest, their vocation is too real, their willingness to be forgotten is too great. Rev. B. J. Van Etten, Pittsburgh, Pa.. 4..
 Notice to the Public
 AS Cordova has no public library, 1t has been decided to open the school library for general use. Hereafter anyone who cares. to take out books will be welcome to do so on Wednes- days from 3 to p. m. Books must be returned the following Wednesday or the borrower will be subject to a fine of 5 cents a day until they are returned. To cover possible loss or damage, a deposit of $1 will be re- quired from those having no connec- tion with the school, the same to be returned at the close of the school year. Our library has grown from 264 volumes to over a thousand in num- Der, and while many of our books are juvenile, there are also many that will interest adults. Alice Daggett will have charge of this branch of the loan work, and borrowers will see her when wishing to borrow or return books

row escapes on his voyage, the most
serious ones being a spill above Evans
Vile when he was carried over a dixie
dam and the second when he was
caught in the 'boils" at Hickman
Kentucky.
After Sheehan left him at Cincin-
natl, Denninger was forced to travel
longer hours to keep up with his
schedule and took TO canoing until
late in the evening. One night the
moon was partially obscured by clouds
and he did not notice that he was ap-
preaching a dike-dam until he was al
most on it. 1t was too late to reach
the channel in midvstream and his
only chance lay in throwing himself
out of the canoe as he went over the
! dam.

to the canoe, however, and made the
shore. The dog also reached shore
| but Denninger's entire outfit went
! down stream. His canoe was too bad
ly smashed to use and he camped on
the bank until a gasoline boat took
him off.
F.! At Evansville he purchased new
outfit, had his racing canoe, To-
footer, shipped from Pittsburg. and

/ in the .'boils,' rising whirlpools, and
struggled for an hour and SO minutes
before extricating himself.

drenched before making shore on the
Gulf Beach. He camped over night
