Tobey- PEOFLE who are always pale and listless often are suffering from one of our most common afT.ic tions, nutritional anemia. They are tired, pepless, and pallid te cause they need more iron in their systems. Vitality was restored to such persons in the old days mere ly by a few vig orous doses of sulphur and molasses. This popular rem Dr. James A. Tcbey edy was given at the end of a hard winter, although it might well have been applied earlier. Golden yellow sulphur seemed to give authority to this mixture, but actually it was the golden brown molasses that did the trick. The evil tasting sulphur passed through the body unchanged, but the toothsome molasses gave the body renewed vigor and yielded to it the valuable iron needed for good red blood. Modern science has demonstrated that this custom actually was a most sensible dietary procedure. OIJ fashicned molasses is an unusually rich and economical source of the type cf iron that can be employed two bits, 22 in number and thus were able to turn in $5.50 to the church. They all say they had a very fine feed. Gave Shower for Eride.

HEALTH HINTS From Molasses to the best advantage by the body. The best old-fashioned molasses sold today is made from West Indies sugar cane. It contains no sulphur, but is comparatively rich in calcium', the food-mineral reeded for strong bones and sound teeth, for tranquil rerves, and for the best utilization of iron. Bread and molasses was once the favorite food on every table. It is a nourishing combination that pro vides necessary food -energy, as well as of food-minerals. If the bread used is whole wheat, an even great er quantity of iron is available. With white bread, the high calcium con tent of the bread promotes efficient iron assimilation. When a table spoonful of molasses is stirred into a glass of milk, the molasses in this pleasing drink will supply most of the human requirements of iron, if taken two or three times a day. According to an interesting little book, "Some Notes on Sugar and Molasses", hy Charles W. Taussig, the popularity of genuine old-fashioned molasses dates back to tha earliest settlers, who used it both as a sweetener and for its delicious flavor. Eecyise of its many dietary advantages, molasfeH deserves the same popularity tcday that it en joyed in Colonial times.
