'IRoN deficiency anemia has been
aptly called the GRAY SicKNsss.
Not only because its victims have
lost their once healthy color. but also
because life itself has become gray

weary day feeling tired, weak and
listless. And sleep doesn't seem to
refresh you for you wake up tired.
The GRAY SIcKNgss means your

As time went on, it was arnaz-

Easter Sunday had more than
usual interest this year and the
Easter song and gladness that per-
vaded our churches was never
more spirited and in keeping with
the great festival occasion. The
largest congregation was at AS
bury M. E. Church which COM
pletely filled the tastily decorated
edifice from pulpit to doors. Great
er interest was possibly shown
from the fact that it was the open
ing Sunday of a new pastorate and
many were anxious to hear the
initial sermons of the Rev. Robert
Watt, ID. D., who was sent to As
bury to succeed the Rev. Vaughan
S. Collins.
