One case among many thousands is thus
described by Mr.. F. X. Chatel, of Man
chester, N. H.:
MY daughter, Miss Amelia, was very
much troubled with irregular and abnor-
NAL menstruation. She suffered very
much. Having heard of DR.. Greene's
Neryura blood and nerve remedy, she was
induced to try it. She took three or four
bottles, and the benefit she derived was of
a hattering nature. l would cheerfully
recommend DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerveremedy to anyone afflicted as was
my daughter"
Besides the diseases and arrangements
peculiar to women, nervousness is the
cause of many complaints common TO both
sexes and all ages. DIR. Greene's Nervura
is the standard remedy for all affections of
the blood and nerves. Under its magic in
fuence physical and mental health are
promptly and permanently restored, and
life again becomes worth living. You
should prepare your system for the trying
spring months by using DR.. Greene S
NerYura now.
DIR. Greene welcomes consultations per-
sonally or by letter at his Office, "a Temple
Place, Boston, Mass. Consultation and
advice are free.

There is still some vigorous work 10
be done by the projectors of the scheme
in removing the objections of the New
England Railroad Company over cross
ing their tracks at grade. 1t is under
stood that now the franchise has been
granted, the New England people
will be disposed to treat the proposition
from the electric road people with as
much liberality as possible.
Nothing OF an executive nature can be
done until the town of Dudley acts on
the petition of the Webster and Dudley
Electric Railway Company. 1t is gen
orally conceded that there will be little
if any opposition from this quarter. Dud-
! ley citizens In general are anxious TO
| have the line run into town, which
| would give them better railway connec-
| ton with Worcester.
| The granting of the franchise by the
| local selectmen was something of a sur
| prise in town, as past fruitless meetings
| of the board Of selectmen on this par
| ticular matter caused a general feeling
| of doubt that the town fathers would
ever grant franchise which would be
| suited. to the wants of the petitioners.
The next step will be a permanent or
| ganization of the directors of the rail-
+, way company, and with the Dudley
| franchise, and the objections of the New
England Railroad people disposed of,
| there will be no impediment to begin
| ming the work of construction at an
early date.

Southbndge, Feb 14-In explanation
of article 2 in the town warrant for the
special town meeting next Monday af-
ternoon, regarding the raising of 1921, 1000
for the meeting Of the town hall bonds,
the building fund commissioners report
that $65, 900 is due on the town hall loan
April l. and of this amount $4,000 can
not be taken from the different savings
banks, where it is deposited, without a
large loss of interest. Different ac-
counts fall due from April to June Is.
They suggest that this amount $27,-
900, be borrowed on demand note and
payments made on the same as the diff
ferent bank accounts are closed up. In
this way the town would save about
1925.

NICARAGUA CANAL COMMySSToy Admiral Walker Preparing a PreIfmt-
 nary Report for Congress.

Washington, Dec. 19.--A pressing de- sire on the part of congress for facts and data relative to the Nicaragua ca nal has decided the president to send to congress within a day or two a pre- liminary report of the Nicaragua canal commission. This will not In any sense take the place of the full report of the committee which will discuss with the greatest detail all of the physical char acteristics of the canal route so far as determined by the numerous borings and surveys made by the field parties of engineers, and will also give the foundation for every item of estimate.
 The work of reducing to form the mass of data collected by the commits sion is one of great magnitude, and all though it was hoped that the report might be ready for submission to con gress in the first week of it's session, 1t has become apparent now that good deal of additional time will be required. The senators and representatives inter ested in the various phases of the canal project are extremely desirous of being supplied with something more definite than the more or less speculative mat ter which now servies as a basis for good deal of the discussion. This de- sire has been communicated to Admiral Walker, president of the canal commits sion, and he has promised to present in the shape of short preliminary report the salient facts, figures and estimates that will be contained in the full report. The admiral arrived in Washington to- day in answer to a summons, leaving the bedside of his sick son in New York to devote himself to the preparation of this report.
