If you were

without eating until you
become
weak, thin ln! emaciated,
you could
not do
a more serious
harm
to
yourself
thin
when
you let your bhla’d liten{ly starve
for
want of iron—iron
that
gives itstrength
and
power
to

and

Without

the nuw
out
of #t and instead
of being
filled with
youthful strength and encrgy
you
are
weak, nervous and all run-down.
If you
are
not strong
or wellyou owe it to yourself
to make the following test:
See
how long
you
ecan
work
or
how
far
you
can
wal
without beceming
tired.
Next take two five-
grain tablets of ordinaty
Nuxated Iron three
times
per
day after
meals
for
two
weeks,
then
test
your strength
again
and
see
how
much
you have

NEW
*“‘SOUND GUIDE” FOR
SHIPS
One of the
lates!
inventions
designed
to
safeguard
navigation
is
a
‘‘sound
guide’’ which,
it is
expected,
will enable
ships
to hold their courses
no matter
how
~+foggy
or stormy
the
weather.
An elec-
trically charged
cable
is
laid under
the
water ard
srecial receivers
are
attached
to either
side of the
ship.
The hum
of
this cable
is transmitted
by
receivers
to
the ears of the navigator,
the sound from
the right-hand
receiver
reaching
his right
ear and that from
the left-hand
receiver
his left ear.
When
the
tones in one
ear
are
as
loud
as
those
in the other
the navigator knows
~that
the ship is directly over the cable. If
the sound from one side
becomes
weaker
it indicates
that the
ship is getting
away
from
the ¢able.
Thepr
of
course
all
that
is necessary
is to
alter
the eourse
until
the
sounds
transmitted
are
equally
strong.
t A short
time
ago
the
apparatus
was
tested
by
the
U.
S.
navy
department.
Guided only by the sounds
transmitted
to
his
ears
the
pilot steered
the ship,
the
destroyer
Semmes,
successfully
into port.
Any vessel equipped
with these receivers,
it
is
said,
can
‘‘pick up’’ the cable
far
from
shore
and
follow it straight
into
port without other guidance.
~
After considerable
study
and
experi-
menting
during
the
war and since,
a
French
scientist has
worked out a
simi-
lar
method
for the
guidanee
of ships.
The
same
principle,
he
declares,
may
be
used
to enable
irplanes
to
keep
to
their
courses
for the
electric cable
can
be
depended
on,
regardless
of
storms
or clouds,
to
carry
impulses by
means
of‘which
navigators
of the
sea
or
the
air may find their
way unerringly.
