"ZEO S A GOOD ME0CNE" Says Rock City, Ala, Gentleman, Aftei Havilg Given It Conscientious Trial. Ziron is a new scientific combinatiotn o pure, inorganic, official, U. S. Pharmaco peia iron, with the hypopliosphitesof lime and soda and other valuable tonic ingred ients, recommended by the best nedical authorities in the treatment of anemlic conditions. Zironl helps to put iron into your blood and this helps to build strength for you, when you are pale, weak, nervous, de, pressed. Read what Mr. Sidney Fry, of Rock City, Ala., says, and then try Ziron. He makes the following statement: "Something over a veek ago I used Ziron for the first time. I was troubled with indigestion and had a spell oi weak ness. Ziron helped both troubles. I fell stronger and my stomach quit hurting. I really feel that Zir-on is a good iedicine. It surely helped me.' Your druggist will sell you Zircon on a guarantee tim if thle first bottle does no* uenefit you, ie wiH refuind thle ioncy yot. paid him.

What is beileve(d to )e the largest Ilielit gem in the world has come to light in a recelitly opened mining (I1s triet in Nevnda, where it was discov cred lin the spring of 1917. 'il'he stone Is a "black opal," so-called because dark tolnes predolililate iII it. It shows mostly dark peacock blues and emerald greens, with a considernbje amount of red, and several less promi nent slhides. In size this great gem approaches a quarter of an ordiniry brick, being three and fifteen-sixteentis Inches fin length. three and one-eighth in width, and two and one-eIghth thiek at the bulkiest point. Its weight is eighteen and six-telhs avoirdupois ounces, which expressed lin gem (lictlon is 9.140 grains, or 2,566.51 carats. More thi n a pound of opal Is surely some stone! And It Is all solid, uneracked, flawless gem matorial, free from nutrix or adhering rock except for a papelr th1In skin enellisting the two major surfaces. Little speeks broken from this skin here and there reveal the brillinnt play of colors within, while tihe exposed ends and edge ex hibit the full refracting radiance of the mass. This stone is alit half again as large as the largest of (he noted gems of the world. The Cullinan diamond was roughly the sizo anid shape of a small fist, and. if it had been an opal, would have weighed but 1,729 carats. It is compared with the new oi)al on this basis since the specifle gravity of the diamond is 75 per cent greater than that of the opal.-Archie Rice In the Scientific Amerlenn.
