An Odd Irish Fishing village,

Seventeen old fishing boats, one OF
which is said to have been built be-
tween 17i0 and 100. form the odd lit
Tie fishing village Of Carracross, on
the west coast Of Ireland. The only
building in the place which is not con-
structed Of an old boat is the priests
house. and this is built almost entirely
OF the driftwood which the ocean tide
piles upon the rocky coast. There Is
not tree Of sufficient size to give
building timber within eight miles OF
CarracroSs. and, though there Is plenty
of building stone. II is never used for
anything except building fences around
potato patches.

Used by Hundreds of Thousands in
Spring as a Blood Medicine.

LII ureenes Neryura blood and nerve
remedy is indeed The ,.orld's Great
spring Medicine. 1t has come TO be
recognized by almost everybody as the
best possible spring medicine to take.
and hundreds OF thousands Of our
people use 1t during the trying spring
months, TO tone up anew the relaxed
nerves and re-inyigorate and enrich
the blood.
A spring medicine is n necessity II
one wishes to keep in perfect health
and vigor during the changes from
winter to summer. This grand spring
tonic, this perfect spring medicine. Dr.
Greenes Nervura blood and nerve
remedy, Is exactly what the system
needs at this season. II not only
purifies, but makes rich, red blood; 1t
not only strengthens and invlgorates
the nervous system, but re-energizes
and revitalizes the nerves by feeding
them with renewed nerve force and
power. IL Is not only an aid to digcs-
ton, but II creates a regular, natural
and healthy action of the bowels, liver
kidneys, which in the spring are al
ways sluggish and inactive.
In fact, 1t Is just what people need
to make them well and keep them well
during these months, so threatening
to the health of all, and wnen II Is con-
sidered that DIR. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy Is made en-
tirely from pure, health-giving vege-
table remedies. and that people give
II more testimonial OF cure than any
other remedy on earth, no one can
doubt that 1t is the very best spring
remedy for everybody to use.

when they heard that at last the de,

their mother was to wear It at the

folded her paper and started upstairs.
1t was not until she had been kneel-

evening affairs of filmy chiffon and
lace. Wouldn't Ellen, the cl6est, ask
for the taffeta when she knew that
