of my nerves to Paine's celery compound.
Yours truly,
GJI,AQ n DRAKE

SILAS ID. DRAKE.
Nothing demoralizes the health sooner
or more completely than even the occa-
sionaI loss of sleep. To start nav day
with the brain unrefreshed is like trying
to keep worn-out horse up to his work
with the whip instead of by feeding.
The incessant brain activity is as If the
skull were laid bare and the surface of
the brain were struck lightly every few
seconds and without sign of 'let
up"
Thus sleepIessness imperceptibly. but
no less surely, destroys the brain cells
that are the sources of mental power and
the health of every organ of the body.
Paine's celery compound gets the ner-
vous system out of this dangerous rut of
sleeplessness. It supplies nourishment
to the nervous tissues faster than they
are worn out. and does not let the nutri-
tion of these delicate parts get low
enough to bring on insomnia.
One of the earliest evidences of the
final success of Paine's celery compound
in curing debility, nervousness, sleepless-
ness and arrangements of liver and kid
neys is the increased appetite, the clearer
skin, and that indescrihable precursor of
health, feeling of "well being" that
takes the place of the tired, languid, mel
ancholy condition.

Like most forceful men Mayor Drake
must see results before giving his appro-
val: but when convinced he speaks out
his mind without fear or favor OF any
one.
There is no hesitation among Mayor
Drake's friends in saying that Paine's
celery compound has been OF the utmost
help in enabling him to do prodlg1ous
amount of work, and to get rid Of that
insomnia that at one time resulted from
every prolonged effort. Mayor Drake

"THE AMERICAN ABsALoM."
Dr. Locke Warns the Young Men of
 George Alexander's Stripe.

pr. Charles Edward Locke delivered a
 sermon last evening at Central Methodist
 Episcopal Church on "The American Ab-
 saIom, or The Fast Young Man and What
 Becomes of Him. based on the life trag-
 edy of Durie Heithier. The text was II
 Samuel xviii:22. ''Is the Young Man Ab-
 salon safe?" Dr. Locke said in part:
 1.-The young man of to-day is the product
 of ages of developing manliness and ought
 to be a masterful giant. There are 1000 900
 young men in the United States. and they are the custodians of the destiny of the
 church, the home and the republic.
 'I desire to address you concerning the fast young man and what becomes of him. Absalom, King David's handsome
 and talented son is a true representation of the modern young man who rebels against restraints, who Is irritated by law who doubts and despises religion, and who
 believes in nothing and nobody except Ab- are mistaken for independence and inf1u- ence and the fast young mans progress in wickedness is alarmingly rapid.
 ''It is fashionable to be fast. Many Sa- tanic sycophants thrive on the extrava- gance and indulgences of the fast young man. Crime is licensed; there are open doors for wrong-doing everywhere, and 1 the nervous, energetic, enfrenzied, fiat tered young man, deceived into the notion that he can always hold the mastery over aDplauded and feted by those who are to gain by his speedy downfall.
 By licensed crime and unenforced laws the nation Is in a conspiracy against the young men. The pagan juggernaut has | been put aside by an enlightened heathen- | ism to be adopted by our boasted modern civilization, in the cruel and diabolical invention of the drinking saloon with it's internal accessories. l know that the
 rum traffic could not exist without the young men for victims.
 ssIf we would save our American Absa- lom we must legislate in his defense, and paralyze the strong arms that are now lifted for his destruction. The medication of lofty principles and the development of true character are young mans best defense. Let young Absalom be saved before he revolts; wild oats are not nec- essity. Remember that the bird with a
 broken pinion never scars as high again. ''
