1t was evidently taken by snap
shot from a small camera. 1t repre-
sented an alert, sharp-featured sim
ian man, with thick eyebrows and a
very peculiar projection of the lower
part of the face, like the muZzle OF
a baboon.
And what became of the bust?"
asked Holmes, after a careful study
of this picture.

HOW IRON STARVATION Of THE BLOOD
RUINS A WONlAN'S HEALTH
cAREWORN, GIVING
A HAccARD. sIcKLY APPEARANCE

For want of iron you may practically be an
cid woman at from so to IS, weak, downhearted
and all tagged out" You may be in such
highly nervous irritable state that you go all
TO pieces on the slightest provocation, while
at so or 60 with good health and plenty of iron
in your blood, you may still be young in feeling
and so attractive and full of life as to defy
detection of your real age.
It's not always the youngest woman that is
most sought after-there is au indescrbabIy
alluring fascination in the rosy check, the
inviting lips and sparkling eyes ola blood filed
with iron. You may be afflicted with iron star
vation of the blood and not know it, just as
thousands of other women are.
1t is said that about one person in three in
America today suffers more or less from malnu-
trition-lack of nourishment, which is caused
not by lack of food but in many cases, by lack OF
sufficient iron in the blood toenabe you to get
thestrength and nourishment out of your food.
Indoor life, over-eating and modern methods
of cookery are sapping the iron from the blood
of hundreds of thousands of women. Our fore
fathers to whom history refers as a nation OF
red blooded Americans, ate the husks of grains
and the skins and pee!s of vegetables and other

Lestrade looked about him.
1T was an empty house, and so he
knew that ne would not be disturbed
in the garden"
yes, but there is another empty
house farther up the street which he
must have passed before he came TO
this one. Why did he not break it
there, since it is evident that every
yard that he carried it increased the
risk of someone meeting him."
Il give it up" said Lestrade.
Holmes pointed to the street lamp
above our heads.
He could see what he was doing
here, and he could not there. That
was his reason"
by Jove! that's true" said the de
tective. Now that I come to think
OF it, DR.. Barnicot's bust was broken
not far from his red lamp. Well, Mr.
Holmes, what are we to do with thai
fact?"
ITO remember ito docket it We
may come on something later which
will bear upon it. What steps do yoI
propose to take now, Lestrade?"
The most practical way of getting
at it, in my opinion, is to identify the

reference to his books showed that
hundreds of casts had been taken
from a marble copy of Devine's head
of Napoleon, but that the three which
had been sent to Morse Hudson a
year or so before had been half of a
batch of six, the other three being
sent to Harding Brothers, of Kensing
ton. There was no reason why those
six busts should be different to any
of the other casts. He could suggest
no possible cause why anyone should
wish to destroy them-in fact, he
laughed at the idea. Their wholesale
price was six shillings, but the re
taller would get twelve or more. The
cast was taken in two molds from

stopped at the shop of the Harding

US that Mr.. Harding would be absent
