Science has at last shown how we some times grow weak, thin, and ernaciated on an abundance of food Qacking in vitamines) while with a much smaller amount of food, rich in vitamines, we may quickly take on good firm flesh, increase in weight, and make remark able gain in strength, energy and en- durance, provided your blood contains ganic iron to enable your body to as simulate your food properly.
 Without organic iron both food and v1- tamines are absolutely useless as your body cannot change lifeless inert food matter into living cells and tissue unless you have plenty of organic iron in your blood.
 For centuries scientists tried in vain to make organic iron At last the problem was solved so that you may now obtain pure organic iron like the iron in your blood from any druggist under the name of ''NUxated 1ron."

That laxity about observing traffic
regulations is noticeable in the ranks
of drivers Of motor vehicles in PEN
dloton is the statement made today
by r. Il. Turner, city traffic officer.
This is particularly true in regard
to the law recurring that tail lights
be kept burning. he says. Bicycle
riders are also guilty of driving at
night without having their machines
equipped with headlights, he de-
clares. Mechanical signaling devices
must not be used until they have
first passed inspection at the hands
OF the chief of police. Some care
lessness has been apparent of late on
The part of drivers at Intersections.
The signals are: Arm extended hori-
zontally means that the driver in
tends to turn to the left; extended
Upward at angle of As degrees, turn
to right. The signal for a halt is
made By waving the arm up and
down.
