Many people VINO have always given

the coming holidays. The cost of living
has made it difficult for some wears to
give on the old scale of liberality.
a gift made because one feels that one
must. and not prompted by desire. lacks
the sincerity that ought to go with the
Christmas spirit. Many people should
give less to personal friends who are not
IN need of anything, and should make
the offerings instead to someone who is
having to struggle to keep his home to-

If people can't afford to make certain
gifts, they should frankly not be led by
appearances to keep on making them.
The pretty cards of greeting which are
so much used now. enable people to send
each other messages of cordial friendship
without going in for expense beyond
their means. The Christmas gift custom
is beautiful one, but should be kent.

Rloting in Burlington restaurant in
which police officers were injured and
two students of the University of YER
mont were placed under arrest, one of
them on the charge of drunkenness, came
rs a climax early Sunday morning TO the
long period of alleged lax law enforce
ment. The event was unusual only in
the energetic manner in which the police
took hand IN quelling a disturbance
which has come TO be recognized as part
of the common late Saturday evening
and Sunday morning happenings in that
city. According to the restaurant man
the intoxicated bunch has made it a
practice to surge into his place well
loaded with moonshine and then proceed
to 'roughhouse" work by raiding the
food counters themselves and showering
pies, doughnuts and the like indiscrimi-
nately about the room. Early Sunday
morning the performance was repeated
but was interrupted by an energetic at
tack of the police.

takes up oxygen from your lungs. This
oxygenated organic iron unites with your
digested food as it is absorbed into your
blood like FIRE unites with coal or wood

power and energy. Without organic iron
in your blood your food merely passes
through your body without doing you any
good.
Blood examinations made by physi-
clans all over the country have shown
that an enormous number OF people are

real underlying cause Of thin, emsciated.

for this reason that thousands OF people
may take Vitamines without obtain
ing results. II is not the fault Of the
Vitamines, but il is the fault Of your
blood. II appears. therefore. that in
practically every case where Nitamines
are necessary, organic iron is also nee
essary.
For centuries scientists tried in vain
to produce organic iron. At last the
problem was solved, so that you may
now obtain pure organic iron from any

Iron" which is ready for immediate alb
sorption and assimilation by the blood
