To say of a man of unusual strength. and .vigor' that he seems "made of iron" is oneof those popular phrases which science has proved to have an. almost literal basis' of truth.

But Deo -pre cannot eat iron, and,"the problem therefore is to get the iron in some form or combination which the body can utilize. Nature has solved -the problem by providing .vegetables that contain:a`large enough proportion of iron to be of service. Lettuce is one of the more important and common of these vegetables., even thougihi it contains only one part of iron in 50,000 of the iaW substati'ee, ac- cording` to analyses recently made by a scientist: This is a much smaller proportion of iron than that existing in the human . body, yet lettuce is a valuable Source of that necessary ele- ment, Doctors and . eihemists agree that the only practicable way to get iron is to take it as a' vegetable 0,1, 10 foliew the example of the Eskimo, who can hardly raise greens and so gets it frons the blooci of seals and walruses.
