HAROLD CHANGES
FOR INTERVIEW

he would see me as soon as he had
changed.
Like his mother, the young man
has bright blue eyes. Like his
father, he looks like born scrap

MRS. ICKEs
AT TARGET RANGE

Mrs. Ickes Is an ardent sports
woman, particularly fond of riding
and shooting. and she was on the
target range back of the house at
the moment.
She smacked a bullet into the
black bull's-eye of the target al
easily as a conductor punching
transfers, and then put up her
rifle and asked how the interview
had gone.
When / told her she smiled and
said she could add little TO what
youthful Mr.. Ickes had said.
She did hope, though. that her
son might be more friendly; for q
few days before she had found
him ripping some of the more
vitriolic pages out of a copy OF his
fathers book about the press.

Throughout the interview he

view was not wholly q success.

for those animals, went TO find

Right Food Is
The Best Tonic

Grandma called for sulphur and
molasses when some member of her
family had that run down" feeling
Today we are apt to seek the remedy
in better balanced diet.
If you feel hstless, not up to par,
or If that rapidly growing boy OF
girl in your family looks little pale
and is always tired, perhaps you'd
better check up and see if there is
anything lacking in the menus you've
been serving lately.
These familiar symptoms suggest
that there may be a lack of iron
in the diet, says Inez s. Wilson,
home economist. Iron is necessary
for the formation of good red blood.
You doubtless know how effective
extract Of liver is in treating ane-
mia. This Is because liver is so rich
source of iron, and because 1t also
contains copper, which aids in the
utilization of iron. Liver, therefore,
should have a regular place in the
schedule of menus in every home as
safeguard against a possible lack
Of this important food element.
Ways to Serve Liver
There are many ways of prepar-
ing liver so that if your family has
grown tired of it served in one way,

Although there is great de-
