That the Roman children had their dolls which they offered up to Venus when they grew older, was vouched for on one occasion by the historian Macaulay. There is ample evidence that the use of dolls as an assistance to the operations of the young miqd dates from the most remote times. Among the native tribes of Africa it was the custom ot married women "to carry a doll with them until they had a child, when the doll was discarded. Kings were wont to play with dolls, and talkine and walking dolts, which even today are regarded as 'novelties, date back a century. At lNational Tuberculosis association French exhibition held in 1823 dolls which could sav 'Taps" ad "Mam ma' 'were exhibited, and. three years later dolls which could walk were shown in the shops. It was about the same time that dolls added to their many accomplishments the power to open and close their eyes. Saving in Gas Mantels. Vhen the mautle starts to get black and the light is poor the hrst thing to do is to take the shade and cylinder off. Now remove the man tle very carefully from its place. Blow out the "burner part" and you will be surprised to see the great amount of soot that collects there, and especially in summer, when mosquitoes and flies gather around the light and fall in, thus closing up the air spaces of the burner Tit do ing this the mantle wilt last for many months and you will always haye a bright light.

Dr. Ferdinand King, New York Physician and Medical Author says: "Time and again women patients come to me and say 'Doctor I don't know what is the matter with me I'm always tired out, nervous, and I'm beginning to look awfully old. I'm so blue and discouraged I don't know what to do. Can't you give me something to build m up? In practically nine out of ten such cases one of the real and true eausea of their weak, tired, nerv ous conditions may be simply a lack of sufficient iron in the blood. Almost in variably in these cases 1 prescribe organic iron Nuxated Iron to enrich the blood and create thousands of new red blood cells thereby quickly transforming the flabby. J or two J toneless flesh into firm, healthy tissue. I have known Nuxated Iron to make women look years younger and Tn two weeks' time to give greatly increased strength and energy in many instances.' In commenting upon Dr. King's "statement concerning the im perative need of more iron in the blood of run-down, nervous women. Dr. James Francis Sullivan, v formerly physician of Bellevuc Hos pital (Outdoor Dept.) New York, and the Westchester County Hospit al says: "Dr. King in . absolutely right. As I have said a hundred times over, organic iron is one of the greatest of all strength builders. Many a woman who is run-dowa. easily tired out. nervous and ir ritable, suffers from the ironleficiency and does not know it. I am convinced that there are tho'usands of such women 'who, simply by taking Nuxated Iron might readily build up their red corpuscles, increase physical energy, and get themselves into condition to ward off the millions of disease germs that are almost continually around us. I have seen frequent instances where it gave renewed strength and energy, increased power and endurance, steady nerves, and the rosy bloom of health in about ten days' or two wpeks' time. I consider Nuxated Ion one of the foremost blood and body builders the best to which I have ever had recourse."
