An active mind, suffering from
sverexertion, grief, trouble, worry. of
household cares, demands from the
body greater amount of fuel for the
vital fires than the digestive organism
can supply. It requires a certain
amount OF vital force to operate the
human machine, and when all the
available supply Of force is absorbed
by the overworked brain there is moth
Eng left for the stomach. It is easy
now to understand why irritability
and dyspepsia have become almest
synonymous; why a nervous person is
usually so very particular and capri
cfous about food. It Is an almost I'M
disputed fact that no marked progress
can be made toward the ultimate cure
Of any disease until the mind is put
into that calm, serene condition
which is natural to people in full
bodily health and vigor. DR.. Miles

A food that will naturally stimulate

person with a weak stomach. S. d.

quires so much force to digest it that
it exhausts what strength a weak man

candidates are using more expedition in
complying with the requirements of the
law. Yesterday ten of these certificates
were filed in the Office of the county
auditor.
That of Horace Bigelow the defeated
candidate for county attorney, was of an
unusual size. He admitted an eXpendi-
ture of $557.50 of which the surprisingly
large proportion of $3.50 was devoted to
the various county and ward commit
tees. The next largest item, $3.50, was
classed as having been spent for can
vassing and rigs.
Alex. Lindahl also spent a considerable
sum. His total is placed at $515; to the
county and ward committees he was a
generous giver, $40 having gone this
way.
All the others, which appear below,
were small: Frank Giles, $3.50; H. R.
