Desire to Own Land Old at Human Race the Instinct to acquire aud own land Is as deep rooted iu human beings as almost anything about them. I History offers Innumerable texts for i set mens on the wisdom of land ownership uud proves the foresight of the founders of our nation hi acquiring great territories for unlimited expansion. Land ownership, mistaken for national pride, hus caused the majority of the world's great conflicts. William the Conqueror, In establishing the feudal system, founded the law of primogeniture so that great estates might be preserved Intact, and the holders obligated to the crown In terms of men and money. The effect It had was to send forth adventurous ydUnger sons In search of lands of their own. Even feudalism could not successfully combat the Instinct, to ucquire and own lund. For That Tired Feeling Meat seems to be almost at the head of the list of Iron foods; oysters re not far behind; spinuch Is as*valuable as we have been taught to regard lt^ other leafy vegetables, such as cabbage, lettuce and chard, cannot compare with spinach. Many of the fruits and vegetables hre low In Iron, much lower than some of us have believed. Prunes and raisins, however, deserve a high rank, Just as we have supposed. Potatoes are surprisingly good; Indeed, they are better thun many of the other vegetables, that Is, If they are not depleted by careless preparation. Eggs are valuable. Whole cereals and bread made from the entire grain are Important sources of iron. Dried beans are good Iron .-'{pods. Although 'the gldsb at milk does' not contain much Iron, If taken In 'oustomary large amounts milk be-' comes quite lmportnnt as a source of Iron. Cane molasses Is a much better source of Iron than sugar.?The Delineator. Unshqved Sa:nts English nrtlsip In stained glass have been perturbed by the complaint of the chancellor of the diocese of Ches ter that ecclesiastical windows do the saints sparse Justice In presenting these holy men wearing beards. Artists in stained glass retort that they aspire to present their subjects with as much accuracy as possible, and that history shows most of the sulnts wore beards, especially as they labored In countries where .conditions rendered shaving difficult and unusual. Thus, despite protests of the offended chancellor, stained gl/iss windows in churches will In future, as In the past, present views of saints "bearded like the pard."
