YEAST GIVES new
STRENGTH TO
WEAK PEOPLE

Everybody is talking about yeast
and the apparent miracles 1t is per-
forming in bringing new strength and
health to weak, rundown men and
women.
The reason is that yeast contains a
vital substance known as vitamines,
which we do not get IN most of our
foods. These vitamines are absolute
" necessary to the system, and 1t is
because people do not get enough of
them that they become thin. pale weak
and old before their time.
Ordinary yeat cakes, however, con-
tain only about 20 per cent real yeast.
The most efficient form of yeast is
brewers yeast, highly concentrated.
This is the basis of the great new tonic
Ironized Yeast, which is bringing al
most incredible results everywhere,
especially in treating weakness, thin
ness and general rundown condition.
Contains iron as well as vitamines,
and being in tablet form is pleasant to
take.

This afternoon one salvage boat
was working assiduous1y at the
wreck, but the more elaborate appara-
tus which was expected had not yet
arrived. Old river men shook their
heads skeptical1y and declared it
would be no short job to remove the
great bulk Of metal.
Meanwhile a lightship has been sta
toned alongside the wreck to warn
traffic of its danger. River men are
inclined to the opinion that not many

will more likely be found up-river as
the tide, which was beginning to flow
when the disaster occurred, runs

1t is understood that the bodies of
the two Americans already found will

bodies recovered win be held but It

velop into anything sensational in the
