Good physicians have strongly emphasized the fact that doctors should prescribe more of the newer form of iron-Nuxated Iron-tor their nervous, run down. weak, hagRard looking patients. When the Iron goes from the blood of women the roses go from their cheeks, and strength and vitality from their bodies This newer form of iron like the Iron in your vegetables is highly recommended to thou sands who wish quickly to increase their strength, power and endurance. It Is sur prisng how many people suffer from iron dehciency and do not know it. Iron is ab- soutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. Without it, no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing you the proper amount of good. You don't get the strength out of 1t, and as a consequence you become weak, pale and sickly-looking. just like a plant frying to grow in soil deficient In iron.

RAILWAY
 ASS0. CONVENTION
Report FaYors Bus Operation as
 Adjunct to Trolley Cars

Chicago, Oct. 5.-That the bus ha place in light traffic but that if should be operated by electric rail- way arrangements as an adjunct to their regular service and not as q competitive agency, was the report brought to the convention of the Am erican Electric Railway association here today. prepared by committee composed in part of bus owners of a year ago.
 Operated by electric railways. buses will supply regular. responsi- ble service" the report stated. Mass transportation cannot be handled by buses as cheaply as 1t can by c.actric cars, but in cases of light traffic, the bus sometimes is more economical.
 However. where traffic is so light that the higher cost per passenger of operating the bus is offset by the relatively high fixed charges per pas senger with such light traffic which results from the electric railways in vestment in track, a field is created in which the railless vehicle can furnish service satisfactory alike in operation and economy. The possibility of util- izing the motor bus or trackless troll ley therefore should be kept in mind by electric railway operators
 The committee reported that the ny by night jitney" and other irregu- lar forms of gas engine transporta- ton had not been considered in the study and that development of track less transportation by electric rail- ways should not affect them adverse ly If intelligently carried out.
 The report stated that the automo- tive industry has progressed to the point where it is now producing ve- hicles of design suitable for pas senger transportation service, but that the electric car on rails is the best servant as whole, largely due to the fact that the operating cost per pas, senger for bus operation is higher.

Moreover, it is very doubtful whether New Britain and Bristol will be able to accept our pupils more than two or three years more.
 Recommendations.
 The committee recommended the selection of site and the erection of a four-room Grammar school in the eastern part of the town during the year 1922-1923. Said school to be so located that intertown transpor- tation will not be necessary, except to the central Grammar school where a ninth grade may be added for the year 1923-1924 This will give us junior High school During the year 1923-l924 a central site, accessible from all parts of the town without transportation, should be selected and a High school building erected, Said building to be ready for use at the opening of the school year of 1924 1925.

There are others in the class who
are only a whit less able in this

the freshmen rs q body had com.
posite average score of 1865 it is
easy to understand that the five
leaders have no monopoly of the
class brains. Indeed, most Of them
were close upon the heels of the
vanguard. If it was their conscious
purpose, as some Of the upper
clsssmen darkly intimate, to show
how darned smart they arc, they
were eminently successful.

also got marks which might

pride in the breasts Of the majority
Of adults.
And four of them, whose respective
eountensnces are reproduced here

which are at once the admiration
and despair of all beholders.
The test whereby the freshmen
scored this signal triumph consisted
Of 1863 questions, all Of which we're

would have required an almost
superhuman rapidity and accuracy
Of thought. The nearest approach to
1863. the ideal mark, was the 100
registered by Wayne G. jackson, Of
Paris, France.
Not, be it understood, that he is
Frenchman. To the everlasting
credit Of this country it is recorded
that the high scorer is Of good old
American stock. His preparatory
education, however. was had for the

The psychological test in question,

is just about as exscting a document

probe Of the students ability to

Of fact, none Of the high scorers in

with capacity for concentration.
And all five Of these boys are per-
fectly normal, healthy young fellows
with all the interests and qualities
which are the heritage Of their age.
Jackson, for instance, is seventeen
years old, the son of William B. and

WHERE GREAT EXPLORER LIES
South Georgia Island, Tomb Of
Shackleton, Lonely Spot In the
Great Antarctic Region.

An Interesting picture of life in
South Georgia island, the Gateway
of the Antarctic" where Shackleton
was buried, was given by an explorer
who made research expedition there
a few years ago At that time there
was only one woman on the island,
and she was the domestic in the house
hold of Capt. c. A. Larsen, a former
Antarctic explorer who had settled
down as head of Norwegian whaling
station on the island. Below my soli-
tary tent" the correspondent writes,
"the grassy bank sloped sharply to
milk-colored glacial stream entering
an inlet of the sea only so yards away.
A quarter of a mile across the inlet
stood the perpendicular front of
beautiful valley glacier, coming down
between peaked hills from the lifeless,
silent interior. Penguins bobbed out
of the sea below the glacier and were
my most interesting callers, for their
curiosity could not resist a human be-
ing. Sea elephants crawled uncon-
cernedly up the stream below me and
went to sleep among the hummucks
on the beach. Above the tent. on the
plateau Of the little promontory, seven
pairs of albatrosses carried on their
courtship and nesting, along with
giant petrels, skuas, kelp gulls and the
pretty little antarctic titlarks, the only
land bird OF the Far South, whose
cheerful song was almost the sole
homelike sound"
