THE NAKING or FRIENDs

If nobody smiled and. nobody cheered
And nobody helped us along,
If each and every man looked after
himself,
And good things all went to the
strong,
II nobody cared just a little for you,
And nobody thought about me,
And we stood all alone in the battle
of life,
What a dreary old world this
would be!
If there were no such thing as a flag
in the sky.
AS a symbol of cOmradeship here.
II we lived as the animals live in
the woods,
With nothing held sacred or dear.
If selfishness ruled us from birth to
the end,
And never a neighbor had, we,
And never we gave to another in
need
What a dreary old world this
would be!
Oh. if we were rich as the richest
on earth,
And strong as the strongest that
lives,
Yet we knew not at all the delight
and the charms
OF the smile which the other man
gives
If kindness were never a part of
ourselves,
Though we owned all the land we
could. see,
And friendship meant nothing at all
to us here
What a dreary old world this
would be!

adding and in taste for dressing-up and
mimicry.
1t was in the same mood in which he
approached charades that Corky fled home

soned his outworn apparel. From this delight
full confusion Corky made his toilet. There
alter and not without peril, he descended by
way OF the roof, method of egress and
ingress known only to himself.
The episode bore likeness to the doings of
DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde, for the tidy little
schoolboy who had entered the house ten
minutes before was transformed into raga-
muffin of the most disreputable type De-
parted from him were all traces of refinement
and as he mooched down the road, hands in
pockets and whistling shy, he mentally
rehearsed cockneyism of mind and voice
such as should betray to the listener a total
absense of gentle upbringing.
He was still whistling when he entered the
store and confronted bald-headed man in
white coat and apron, who invited him
sharply to stop that noise or get out!'
II come about the job" said Corky.
The baldheaded man frowned, deeply, and
performed feats with a pair of butter pats.
The fruits of his effort, when dropped upon a
scale, registered precisely one pound

No, silly. It's tickets. You put them in a

I'm get the money!
Corky betook himself to the road that led
to London and the shopping area of the
suburb. He had no fixed idea in his head
which therefore remained open for inspiration.
He had not proceeded far before he beheld in
the window of grocer's store a card ex-
hibiting the heartening legend, Smart boy

Pride and natural taste for histrionics
discouraged him from applying in his own
identity. To be successful he would have to
assume another character And this, in itself,
offered rare delight.

Corky cast an eye over the list At the
entry, 'Seaton - 10 Deepdene Rd.," he
froze. His mother had always dealt with
Follet, accredited the best grocer in the
district. Mincing's was much commoner sort
of shop. Was it possible that this dreadful
economy against which Corky was striving
to do battle had erected an insuperable
obstacle between himself and success? Corky
resolved not to retire without struggle.
His finger stopped against his mothers

His hand dived into the basket and with
drew the Seaton bag.
1t would be idle to pretend that the de-
livery of parcels proved a delightful task in
itself, nor could Corky overcome a slight
feeling of shame when rapping his knuckles
against the panels of back doors. However,
the end justified the means and if some of the
servants spoke to him harshly, Others re-

condescended to give him slice of bread

Farley Is Very Thankful

IT was difficult to arrive at very conscientious
appraisal of the philateic value of the treasure
stamps because there was no knowing precisely how
many Mr. Farley had let 60 Rarity as well as the
cash available in the buying market, governed the
catalog quotations, Senator Long however, being
hampered by conscience, guessed that they were
worth some fabulous sum and crowded his criticisms
with insinuatiOns of larcenOus intent
This set the stamp-nuts frantic and Mr.. Farley
with composure as serene as his unpuckered coun-
tenance decided to initiate the rarities to extent
limited only by the nutdemand at face value, Thus
Senator Long promoted for Mr.. Farley's struggling
department a known Wndfall of S5300000 and an
additional revenue which may bring the total to
S2OOOO0O For all of this Mr.. Farley undoubtedly
feels much obligated to the statesman from Loui-
Slana.
1t seems pity to add to the anguish of the nuts
but they do not appear to know that the original
sheets were autographed back-and- forth between
the recipents. Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr.. Ickes and Uncle
Louie also put their some, making them
rarer than the nuts ever allowed themselves to fear
But these are the personal treasures Of the privileged
owners They are priceless in the philatelic market,
but the autographs were personal not ofhclal, ana
not subject to anybodys demand

ACK of sufficient iron in the diet may lead to the
II development of a form of anemia. Dr. Cyrus c.
Stugis. director of the Simpson Memorial Institute
Tor Medical Research OF the University OF Michigan
points out This is because iron is essential part
of the hemoglObin moecule Hemoglobin is the col
Orine matter in the normal red blood curpuscles.
There is a group of iron-deficiency anemias. due
to various causes Dr. Sturgis says. All of them have
IN common the depletion of the iron reserves of the
body.
The iron content Of the body of the average
human adult is normally very small 1t is estimated
at about three gramS-a approximately one-tenth of
an ounce. Eighty per cent of this amount is in the
fluid part Of tie blood and the hemoglobin.
The average daily intake of iron is estimated at
about Is milgramS. "A milligram is a thousandth
of gram) This intake it will be noticed, is ex-
tremely small but as Dr. Sturgis says the body
possesses remarkable mechanism for the conserva-
ton Of iron and uses it over and over again
4 NENlIA due to an iron deficiency in the diet
L rarely occurs in male adults. Dr. Sturgis says,
but does occur in infants. growing children and
women. 1t has been established, he says. that such
anemla does not occur in adult males even when the
iron intake Is small six migranS daily.
Mothers require larger amounts of iron during the
prenatal period and while nursing their children,
DR.. SturgiS says
Another type of iron-deficiency anemia some
times occurs in women between the ages of 20 and
40 who unable to absorb the required amount of
iron despite the fact that it present in their diet
This form, know as idiOpathic hypoclromic anenia
of is characterized by a red blood cell count
which is not much changed but by a hemoglobin
percentage which is so per cent or less of normal.
1t Is thought that a deficiency of hydrochloric
acid in the stomach may play role in this type
OF anemia
THE most common type of iron-deficiency anemia
occurs in cases of chronic hemorrhage DR. Sur
It's says Because so much of the in the blood
even a small daily Joss of blood if continued con-
Stantly for months depleteS the body'S reserve of

These types of anemia are treated best with prep
arations containing large amounts OF iron DR. Stur-
gis says.
As in the case Of pernicious anemia. which is now
successfully treated with liver extract exact knowl

Mr.. Farley didn't DO right in autOgraphing, in his
traditional green ink, the sheets of album stamps
which he presented to the President Harold Ickes,
friend in Norfolk Va.
The true nut demands that he autograph all the
thousands of duplicates which were placed on public
sale to destroy the rarity of the gift sheets and
store the democracy Of the U. S. A, but in a democ-
racy. any man, even a public official, may stand on
his constitutional right to autograph not to auto
