Health is the more important because when health goes, beauty is quickly lost. How often have you heard it said of some girl or woman, How terr{bly she #1s aged!”” or heard men remark of some fragilly bg:uufu} girl, *‘She is the kind that loses her good looks very quickly.’ I have often been asked by my women patients,'’ says Dr. Emile Sauer, well-known New England’ Physician, ‘‘why it is that some women look old, haggard, pale and worn- out at thirty, wi=le a few at fifty and even sixty years retain aBounding heali: and the good “looks and color of .youth. The answer in an enormous number of cases is very simple. The pale, nervous, run-down woman lacks iron in her blood—the beautiful, healthy, youthful look- ing woman has rich, red blood filled with health-giving, strength-giving iron. Thousands vainly seek health and youth in changes of climate, temporarily stimulating medicines, and go from one doctor to another always ail- ing, complaining, and old Jooking, when the real trouble is only lack of-iron in their blood. “‘The reason why iron is so vital to abundant health and . hysical beauty,and why lack of iron in the blood 80 surely makes a woman old before her time, is understandable to the simplest mind. It is the iron in your blood that enables you to get the &r’\od out of your food. ithout iron, nothing you eat-does you any good—your fe merely passes through you, and you do not get the nour- ishment out of it, Nature mvlded iron for your y in the husks of my own prac- tise 1 seen amazing. changes in: few. Glover L. Hastings, a resident of Flainville for over 50 years, was found dead in bed at his home on Tomlinson avenue this morning. Medi- cal Examiner Dr. Charles C. Moody | gave the probable cause of death as heart fallure. Mr. Hastings was 87 years old and was an inventor of note, having devised glass handles for | knives and forks. He was one of the pioneer makers of cutlery in this state and is known throughout the country for important improvements he has made for the trade. He is survived by two sons, Glover Hastings of Boston, and Fred Hastings of Plainville, both of whom are well known insurance men. Arrangements for the funeral which have been turn- ed over to A. W. Bailey & Co., are in- complete. ‘Frain Smashes Truck Robert C. Mitchell, owner and driver of a moving van, narrowly es- caped instant death last evening shortly after 6 o'clock, when his truck, loaded with furniture, was struck by a train on White's cross- ing. The truck was demolished and the furniture was reduced to kindling wood by the force of the impact. The furniture was owned by the family of Raymond Fonseca, Portuguese, and they were moving from a house along- side the tracks to New Britain. The truck had gone only a distance of about 100 feet, however, when there was no more necessity for moving the stuff. Mitchell, the driver, saw the train, only when it was on top of him, and making a wild leap, fortunately landed clear and escaped being hit. A flagman had been placed on this crossing by the rallroad authorities acting on an order of the public utili- ties commission because the road was being used as a detour while the Plainville-New Britain road was being made over.

The officers was on his way home to Meriden and was looking forward to a good night's sleep. But apparently there is no sleep for state policemen and as he neared the Meriden line he passed a car bearing New York markers. The car bore no signs of con- taining liquor and anyone else would have probably not paid any attention to the car. But the state policeman's suspiclons, which are well known to lead to something when they are aroused, came to the fore and the car was stopped. He had not been wrong. A search of the car revealed 100 gal- lons of alcohol stored away in the car out of sight and out of the way. The man driving the car gave his name as lLouis Smith of 97 1-2 East Beventh street, New York cit He said he was 20 years of age. The man | riding in the car with the driver said he was John Murphy, 21, of 166 Broad street, Providenc Rhode Island. Smith said he was a clerk. Ac- cording to the story of the men they were bound for Boston, having come up from New York. The car seized was of the roadster type. The men will be tried in the Ber- lin town court, but were taken to the Meriden jail this moraing for safe keeping awaiting arraignment, as the Meriden jail was nearer.
