Many a discouraged mother thinks

Don't confuse chronic fatigue with
the ordinary fatigue you feel after a

Safe Cracking

ny United Press Leased Wire

CLEVELAND, Nov. 5.-Crimin-
ais change their tactics as the times
change, according to police here who
declare that the old time method
OF safe cracking is becoming OBJ
solete.
While other types of crime has
increased, safe cracking has Jagged
behind. According to Captain Cod
dy Of the Cleveland detective de-
partment, the man who formerly
specialized in safe cracking now
goes in for auto stealing and other
more up.tO.date methods Of theft.
One reason for the change in tao
ties is that in blowing a safe the
risk is too great. Sometimes build
ings are wrecked. Often the cracks
men are injured, or the noise Of the
blast attract attention.
Most Of the safe crackers, for
that matter, are young fellows,
Captain Coddy said, and they give
up this branch Of the criminal
science as they become older and
wiser.

don't take the older mineral iron med.
icines which many doctors now say
do little good. Take organic IRON
Nuxated Iron-which is like the iron
in your blood and like that in spinach
and lentils. Unlike ordinary mineral
iron it will not injure the teeth or dis.
turb the stomach, but is promptly
assimilated.
Take NuxatedIron for just two weeks
and you'll be astonished how much

with this subject and in doing the
