that promises to be one Of the surprises

The tension on the nervous system of
an inventor, kept up for months and
months, seriously weakened the health
of busy brain worker like Col. Follett,
and his constitution, which even the
hardships OF war did not weaken,
threatened to succumb to nervous ex-
heustion.
What Col. Follett has to say In regard
to his res.orat!on to health, cannot fail
to carry great weight. In letter to
Walls q Richardson Co., OF Burlington,
VI, he writes:
When suffering from mental ex-
haustion and generally disorganzed

celery compound builds it up as nothing
else can. IL mades people we'll.
People In every walk OF life have
reason to be grateful to Prof. Phelps, of
Dartmouth, the eminent scientist who
discovered Paine's celery compound.
He understood the peculiar needs of the
nervous system; he knew that the
backache. headache, sleeplessness, loss
of appetite, and disord =red blood all
mean that the nerves are weakened and
inadequate to the demands upon them.
The experience of thousands has proven
all over this broad country that Paines
compound will give health TO the nerves
and through chem to the entire body.
Colleges conferred upon DR.. Phelps
their highest honors for his invaluable
Investigations in medicine, but all this
seems insignificans in comparison with
the chorus Of gratitude that has gone up

children, who have outgrown weakness
and the lack Of health by the use of
Psine's celery compound, the most won.

The TeIegrapher,a Ear.

Any operator who is accustomed to
work by sound with men every day can
tell in an instant just who is working the
key There is something peculiar in tho
way each operator opens and closes his
key. OF course it is entirely q matter of
education Of the ear. Another evidence
OF the susceptibility of the aural nerves to
education Is the fact than an operator can
receive and copy n message and ut the
same time distinctly hear and comprehend
everything that is being said by others in
tho room. He can be very busily engaged
at anything, and yet his ear will take in
everything that is said near him. An
other peculiar thing is tho fact that teleg-
rapher working mt night will lay his
head within two inches of working in
str,lmont and sleep rs soundly as though
In bed. He will not be disturbed in the
least until his own office call is sounded

Is exactly of the same degree of intensity,

causes him to distinguish his office call
