IRON FOR RED BLOOD To maintain the body’s supply of good red blood, it is essential that a sufficient supply of iron be obtained through the daily diet. Certain foods are better sources of the mineral than others and for good health it is necessary that these foods be eaten in amounts that will provide the required iron. The soâ€"called variety meats, which include heart, kidney and liver; dried fruits such as apricots, rais- ins and prunes; and some other foods, including whole grain cer- eal, shellfish. beans and green veg- etables, are all good sources of iron.

FATIGUE CAN BE AN ILLNESS Fatigue is not just an inconven- ient tiredness that will go away if it is ignored. It can prove an in- sidious poison that interferes with digestion and the body’s general mechanism. The average person re- quires about eight hours sleep daily and children need more than this. according to age. The amount of sleep should be determined by the body’s needs, not by the alarm clock. If it is necessary to rise early and the alarm clock finds the sleeper still tired and unrested, it probably means that the amount of sleep must be increased by re- tiring earlier. The bedroom should be well ventilated to give the most refreshing sleep. l. (I. LOVE LUMBER 00. Limited AV. 5-1143 6439 Yonge St. BA. 1-5336 Want Ads Are Not New; They Are as Old as Recorded History. Advertising has existed as far back as man used Written symg hols, and probably well before that. Back in early Babylon the merchants employed barkers to describe their wares to passen- by. The first written advertisements were want ads. They were announcements on papyri offering rewards for the return of run- away slaves and bond servants. Lost articles were also sought through those early want ads. ~. In Greek mythology, when Psehe ran nwey. Venus requested Mercury, "to proclaim her in public, and announce a reward to him who shall find her." The oldest newspaper paragraph fitting the description of an advertisement appears to have been a "want ad” for I book on botany, printed in an early Gerinan newsbook in 1591. Both Greeks and Romans used the walls of their housel as places to scratch or paint inscriptions concerning their affairs. Many such inscriptions were found when Pompeii was excnvated. Notices of arrivals and sailings of ships. with lists of cargoes, are found in most sixteenth-century English newspapers. The first paid advertisement in an American newspaper appeared in the second issue of the Boston Newsletter (May 1. 1704). It was about two anvils which had been lost, and read: Lost on the 10. of April last of! of Mr. Shiflen's Wharf! in Boston. 'l‘wo Iron Anvils, weighing between 120 and 140 pounds each: Whoever has taken them up. and will bring or give true Intelligence of them to John Campbell Postmas- ter, (also editor of the newspaper) shall have a sufficient reward. At first advertising occupied a relatively minor place in Am- erican newspapers, but by the middle of the eighteenth century many printers were becoming prosperous from the publication of three, four, and five pages of miscellaneous advertisements. Gradually, as the confusion among the jumble of advertise- ments grew, want ads concerning one class of commodity or ser- vice were grouped together to facilitate the reader’s finding what he was looking for. Credit for “classifying” the advertisements is given to Ben- jamin B. Day, who founded the New York Sun in 1833. Wants ads have furnished one of the richest sources for his- torians seeking to learn about the everyday life of Americanl. News stories in colonial newspapers often were colored according to the publisher's ideas, but want ads were honest and forthright, telling researchers about the needs and interests of our ancestors.
