U. s. and Japan May Limit Armament on
 Pacific Possessions
By Associnted Press

Washington, November 22.- Expectation that negotiations will be attempted looking to an agreement between the United States and Japan for the limita- ton of future construction of Qualifications in the Pacific was expressed today In some delega- tions. Such negotiations, it was said, might easily be undertaken as d phase of the larger question of naval araments. The basis most frequently suggested was that the two countries would agree not to strengthen existing Qualifications at the Philippines, Guam, Formosa. the Loochoo Is- lands and possibly Hawaii and Bonln, where American and Jap anese naval bases and shore sta tions already have been estab- lished, and to refrain from un- dertaking new defensive develop ment for a stated period.
 It was learned that the subject has been given more than cursory discussion within the Japanese delegation. There has been no authoritative intimation, how ever. as to the time or the man. ner In which the subject might be raised

 TAKE YEAST IN
 TABLET FORM
Combined With Iron and Other Health Builders Watch the Quick Im- provement in You!

Science finds that a great many people grow prematurely old and worn out because their foods lack one ail-imp0rtant substance called yitamines.
 Ordinary baking yeast. it has been found, Is rich in vitamines. Those who have eaten common yeast have, in many cases. derived splendid ben efits from it., But the trouble is that only q comparatively few people can stomach" yeast. due to it's nauseat- ing taste.
 But now, at last everyone can take yeast--and enjoy it. For, under the name Irenized Yeast, 1t Is available in convenient tablet form. which is not only pleasant to take, but Is far more effective than ordinary yeast because It contains highly concen- trated brewers yeast, which is even richer in vitamines than baking yeast
 In addition, Ironized Yeast con- tains organic or vegetable iron teasily assimiliated by the system) which for years has been prescribed as a blood builder Thus, in Iron ized Yeast you get the benefit of two splendid tonics instead of only one.
 If you have been sickly. thin and down generally. if you feel your self getting old and lack the energy and ambition you once possessed, if you get tired easily and are troubled with poor appetite, nervousness. leeplessness-then. by all means try Ironized Yeast. It will. in most cases. bring results that are actually astonishing.
 Ironized Yeast keeps indefinitely and costs about the same per dose as common yeast, but is much more ef- fective. Each package contains 10 days treatment and costs only a dol lar, or just 10c day. Special direc- tions for children in each package. Sold at good druggists everywhere. Made by the Ironized Yeast Com pany. Atlanta. Ga.
