Many live under the needless infection Of in
digestion, nervousness, constipation. and gen.
cral weakness, and endure the consequent loss
OF health without considering how easily the
cause of all this illness might be remcdied.
Seedful nerve and tissue nourishmcnt is at
the bottom of all permanent building up of the
health.
Every neuralgia, nervous or dyspectic attack
shows that the nerves arc being cheated OF u
healthy amount of nourishmcnt. Physical we'll
being demands pure blood, manufactured in
abundance by healthy. active vital organs. and
nerves that never sulter from defective nutri-
tion.
Paine's celery compound looks out for this
insldious weakening of the nervous system
through inalnutrition. 1t gives 4 healthy tone TO
the stomach, increases the blood supply, quiets
and equalIZcs the irritated nerve action and
pro | tly feeds the tissues wacn the bodily viSor

The only cure, therefore, for rheumatism. ncu-
ralgia or general debility tba, is lasting i'll its

sues. Al, this is best done by Painc's celerr
compound, because this remarkable remedy he
gins at the beginning, wherever there is discasc,
and establishes the health firmly and beyond
any fear OF falling back.
The WORKOUT person who cannot sleep should
take Paino's celery compound. 1t is folly to inn

Tammany 10 stealing the thunder OF its ally,
tho Citizens Union. that is. Seth Low.
Stewart NJ. Brice, one Of the Tigers candi-
dates for Councilman in the Fourth Council dis
trict, sent the following letter yesterday to
every college man in that section Of the city:
6 FIFTH VENUE New YORK, Oct. Is.
"MY DEAR SIR: l am running for Councilman
in the Fourth Council district. in which you live.
which district. roughly speaking. runs from
Lexington avenue to the North River and from
Fifty-third street to the Harlem River. l trust
that l can rely upon your support at the coming
election. The position will be a very important
one in the new city Government. as tho Council
will be the Senate of the Municipal Assembly.
Il am a Harvard man myself, and a mem.
Der of tho Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. l
think that in matters OF q municipal nature col
lego men should stand together, as their ideas as
to the best interests OF the city are in the main
identical, without respect to parties.
1T is needless for inc to assure you that have
nothing but the best interests Of the city at
heart. trust you will use your influence with
your friends to secure as much support for me
as possible, as it will be mainly through the ef.
forts of those OF all parties who are in favor of
good government that l will be able to mako q
successful canvass. Yours very truly,
rev NJ. BRICE"
So the Tammany nominee for Councilman,
like the Citizens Union candidate for Mayor,
has dragged his alma mater into politics. Co.
lumbia and Harvard graduates and members OF
the. Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity object to
such methods.

Dozens of men said to the women: oh, 1
haven't time to go and register but the wo.
men didn't take that as an excuse and hunted
up the proper place Of registration and in many
cases escorted the men there.
''Tammany Hall is evidently opening Its eyes
to the fact that women are a factor in politics
after ALL" continued Mrs. Burns with a mis-
chievous smile, for all day yesterday Tam.
many ward heclers followed our women around

There have been a great many political changes
