The proof Of this is shown by the fact that when
organic iron is supplied to their blood that all
their multitude of symptoms often quickly
disappear and the very men and women who
were formerly so complaining now become
strong, healthy and vigorous, with even dispos-
itions and sunny. cheerful natures.
Nature put plenty of iron in the husks of grains
and the SIX ms and pcels of veeetab les and fruits
to enrich your blood, but modern methods of
cookery throw all these things away-hence
the alarming increase. in recent years. in amaze

II you are not willing to go back to nature
then you should eat more such iron-containing
vegetables as spinach and carrots and re inforce
them by taking little organic iron from time
to time But be sure the iron you take is organic
iron and not metallic iron which people usual NY
take. Metallic iron is iron just as it comes from
the action of strong acids on small pieces of
iron and is therefore an entirely different

RICHMOND BUILDING
OPERATIONS IN MAY
SHOW DECIDED DROP

Building statistics in Richmond for
May show that this city dropped AZ
per cent lower than May of last year.
Richmond showed a larger loss than
any other city in the state, according
to statistics released Wednesday morn
ing
During the month of May, 80 build
ing permits were granted here, the
estimated value of which amounted to
s37,5 In May, 1920. AZ permits were
issued for a total value of S65,000.
South Bend followed close on the
heels of Richmond with loss of 40
per cent, and Hammond was deficient
80 per cent over last year
Terre Haute was the only city In
the state showing any great building
activity, gain of 10 per cent being
shown in its report. Gary had a gain
of 80 per cent
Four per Cent Loss Shown
The American contractor states that
statistics from all over the country
show a loss of four per cent from
April of this year, which was an ex-
ceedingly high month. The potential
condition of the construction industry
is reported improving slowly by build
ers.
The crying need for residence con-
struction has bolstered the industry
throughout According to figures sub
mitted by the F. w. Dodge company.
"a per cent of all contracts awarded
during the first five months of this
year have been for residence con-
struction. This is considered a big
per cent
Gain in Valution
Official reports from the building
departments of 1SS cities give an es-
timated valuation of $143,021,3S3 for
the 50,6S0 permits ISSUED in May, 1921.
This is one per cent gain over the
valuation of $141,994.915 for 42,725
permits issued during May, 1920.
The settling of wage controversies
in larger cities has given rise to a
squirt in the building trades. New
York leads all of these with gain of
157 per cent over the same period
last year.

Prihoda- -Fioravanti Concert.

Clelia Fioravanti. a young Wash
ington singer, and Vasa Prihoda, vio-
linist, gave a concert yesterday after
noon in the Belasco Theater. Both
Soloists have been heard here before,
Miss Fioravanti in her debut with the
Washington Opera Compny as Car
men," season or SO ago. and Mr..
Prihoda quite recently as Soloist with
the Chicago Orchestra. Miss Flora
yanti has voice of wide range and
sweetness. more of mezzo in quality
than contralto. and she has much
talent. She shows marked improve
ment since her first appearance here,
but still lacks perfect tone production,
pitch in her high tones. In the songs
her phrasing was unusually good for
so young singer, and always her
enunciation is excellent. enhancing
particularly the charm of the English
songs. Miss Fioravanti was accom-
panied by Claude Robeson, who played
beautifully, never obtruding the piano,
but always giving ample support.
Mr.. Prihoda played with big tone of
good quality, and his numbers gave
him opportunity to display his brilliant
technic. in double stops. harmonicS and
sparkling scales and cadenZas. Corel-
lis La Follia' was one of the most
difficult of his numbers, in which he
played the intricate candenza with ease
and amazing tempo. He was very
generous with encoreS. and at the close
of the program received a veritable
ovation. Asia Doubrovska was his
accompanist, and played excellently.
