House amendments to the two bills place the Jury on an equal tooting with t.b.o judge, providing that ' either may take the responsibility of' saying what shall bo done in the mat- ' ter. They were voted down on the j ground that they would place the judge j and jury in the position of "drawing I straws" for Jurisdiction.

The others arc in the weakling class. Sleepless nights spent worrying over supposeii ailments, constant dos ing with patent medicines and narco tics for nervous weakness, stoinacn, liver or kidney disease and useless at teinps to brace tip with strong coff?e or other stimulants are what keep them sulTcri tin and vainly longing to lie strong. Their real trouble is lack of Iron in the lilood. Without Iron the blood has no power to change food in to living tissue and therefore, nothing you eat. does you any good; you don't get tho strength out of It. The mo ment Iron Is supplied the multitude of dangerous symptoms disappear. 1 have seen dozons of nervous, rundown peo ple who were ailing all the time, dou ble and even triple their strength and endurance and entirely get rid of every sisn of dyspepsia, liver and oth er troubles in from ten to fourteen days' lime simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this, after they had in some cases been doctoring tor months without any benefit. If you are not strong or well '.on ' owe It to yourself to make the follow- ; ini; test: See how long you can w irk ?r how far you can walk witliotu be- i ?oming tired. Next take two live-grain I tablets nt" ordinary mi.xated iron three times per day after meals for two) weeks. Then test your strength again ! and see for yourself how much you , have gained. There is nothing like ; good old Iron to put color in your ' checks and sound, healthy llesli on' your bones I'.ut you must take iron j in a form that can bo easily absorbed and assimilated, like utixa ted iron f you want it to do you any kooiI. othe - wise it may prove worst! than useless.'
