Is an iron preparation designed to meet the modern principle of prescribing liberal doses of iron without causing constipation or gastric disturbance. It contains per cent of assimilable Iron which is considerably in excess of that contained in the more generally prescribed iron compounds.
The most recent medical investigations have fully proved that iron should be administered in much larger doses than those usually given. Thus, Professor Poulsen, the well known pharmacologist says. Pharmacology, 1920) a change for the better does not set in until the doses of iron applied are so large as to apparently overshoot the mark, and Lichtenstein, Stockholm, has arrived at similar conclusions in his treatment of infants with iron. Stockholm, 1917. In spite of its high iron contents, IDOZAN has no constipating effect, but acts as a mild aperient when taken before meals.
IDOZAN is a neutral solution and exerts no harmful effect on the teeth; a possible dark colouration observed after taking a dose, disappears at once if the dose is followed by a draught of water.
IDOŽAN is pleasant to take and the doses stated are readily tolerated by children as well as by adults.
Iron taken in the concentrated form of IDOZAN yields results in a short time, comparable to many months treatment with preparations, the iron content of which is much smaller.

no high schools are here, and your salaries cannot make it possible for you to send them to the West Indies or elsewhere, and right there you decide that the elementary education is sufficient for them, and you let the matter rest there. This, say, is absurd. It is absurd from two points of view. Firstly, we have been residing here long enough to have founded centres for higher education; and secondly, as a race, we like two much help, instead of trying to help ourselves In making the foregoing statement, am not introducing anything new; rather, am voicing the sentiments expressed in the local papers from time to time. The Editorial of the West Ind an Page of the Star Herald is always dealing with it. The beautiful Editorial in this paper of last Saturday issue. What of the Future. by Mr. Elijah Hunter, is another evidence. Let us think for a moment, fellow West Indians, and see whether we are justiried in this culpable negligence. Shouldn we have at least two secondary schools here for our children? Shouldn we build these ourselves, if no other means of getting them is possible. Those of us who live in the Canal Zone expect that the government of that state will build high schools for us; but the government is doing ita best to provide sufficient elementary schools for the rapidly growing population. It may consider to give us one or two high school in the fut ure, but suppose it doesn t, will our children ret no more than a primary education? They can get more. We can give them. We can build at least one high school if we would but make the effort. high school means a higher education. higher education means. greater standard of civilization, and a greater standard of civilization means a more progressive world world that the Colored Race can play a great part in making.
The streets of Colon and Panama, as well as the villages of the Canal Zone, are crowded with youngsters youngsters whose education is not on the average, one hundred per cent elementary. Some are fairly intelligent; some are just above the grade of Illiteracy, and others cannot even sign their names. What will be come of these when we rot win they be able to fill our places saccesfully? Will their standard of civilization be higher than ours? What ever standard they attain, it is the standard that we are now building.
Let us examine the situation carefully and see whether their civilization will be higher or lower than ours.
The opportunity to build up good standard of civilisation is visible to all of us. We can make amends now for our past negligences. Let us give them a start. Let us make their opportunity grander; their civilization richer, and their lives happier than ours. Let us realize that our lives are not the reality wo wished for, and plan to make the real. Their future rests in our bands; their aspirations and success are hinged on our shoulders. Let us build up a civilization worthy of attention let us give our boys and girls a secondary education, are Tou ll need less butter Labour Unrest Is Increasing In Jamaica That right If you wse St. Charles Evaporated Milk.

SOON as milk is allowed to stand, the large butterfat globules start rising to the top to form the cream. In making St. Charles Evaporated Milk, about 61 of water is removed and all the cream is retained. By a special process, the fat glo bules are broken up into small parts which remain evenly distributed in the milk so that there is cream in every drop.
