On this subject the foliowing hints, which are, of ccurse, sarcastic, are worth cttention: —- “*Always talk about yourselr. It shows individuality and high degree of self- respect. ‘*Palk frequently. People may lose valuable ideas by your silence; besides, it is wicked to waste time by listening to the idle chatter of other folks. “When you are hearing a story you have heard before, do not fail to inter- rupt and tell the narrator that he is re- lating something as old as the hills. It saves valuable time, and will prevent him from feeling foolshly vain of his powers. ' “*Always make as much litter as you can. It may provide employment for those who might otherwise suffer from listlessness and indolence. ““Never speak ill of your friends. A much greater effect may be produced if you sigh and shake your head when their names are mentioned. The listeners willi then understand that their short- comings are two serious to be dealt with in mere speech. *lfyou are not universally loved and respected after this, put it .down to the depravity of mankind.”’ - Everyday Lufe. DEEP-SEA DIAMONDS. In a tew year's time we may be able to obtain thousands of peerless diamonds from the seabed. A Experiments are now being made with 4 view to aseertaining whether these deep-sea diamonds really exist in quanti- ties large enough to be obtained commer- cially. No. 113. %00d sap their eneryy and malke thon weak, janzmic and run-down and often Lause their blood to Iliterzlly starve for want of iron. In commenting upon the probability of Duildingtup a stronger race of people by ‘in- creasing the supply of iron in their bicod. Dr. Georgc H, Baker, formerly Physician and Surgeon, Monmouth Memorial Hospital of New Jersey, says: “Iron is absolutely neces- sary to change food into living tissue, muscla and brain. Without iron there can be no strong, red-blooded men or healthy rosve cheeked women, and unless this strengtii- giving iren is obtained from the scads we eat, it must be supplicd in some form that is easily absorbed and assimilated. Refned foods and modern methods of cooking have zobbed us of 'much of the iron which Natura intended’ we should reccive. For supplving this deficiency and increasing the red blood corpuscles, I know of nothing more effective than organic iron—Nuxated Iron. From @ careful examination of the formula and my own tests of Nuxated Iron, I feel con- vinced that it is a preparation which any physician can take himscif or preseribe for bis patients with the utmost confidence of obtaining highly benciicial and satisfactory If that proves to be so, then the diamond trad> will be revolutionized, and instead of paying £3O a carat for an impure brilliant, we shall be able to obtain an otherwise priceless diamond for about twenty-eight shillings. Diamonds are now being mined exten- sively im Damaraland, South Afriea, and it has been proved beyond :all doubt that the territory in which the diamonds are What MQ‘y & % igb\;&f’{’ SR ‘} saa® o # e LN Wi o gAYyt o an Ir o LVWHESHY oTR » 5 STRY - d oBV i 3 OF LPing Y] o gt o\h and Suc Mien of Dtamny b { ¥ oS LEREDESE po?sns e anyng, Fo Physici: ©“; iNNR o R e Ry YLA Soaa N Explains S Wy ::: b % ‘l‘i,::\:‘!‘.{:y: . =S O Q. v SRR PR NN S ";:;:‘:-\3;‘::-:) RN Gol coarsexé?tglc:’l;g in the oc ountry to- \1 &%}E\;‘f\t:‘%& g\(&)f%\}‘gk?p | i .
