ALARMING MORTALITY.
Noticeable Among the
Weak and Ailing.
the Time Death Reaps
It's Largest Harvest.
There is a Way Of Eluding the
Grim Destroyer.

Every Spring it is noticeable how many
people are taken ava that we have been
accustomed to see in our daily life.
Statistics show that at no other season of
the year does SO many deaths occur.
Especially large is the mortality among
weak and sickly people.
The reason for this is apparent. The body
that is weakened by age or disease has much
to contend with during the Winter months.
Insufficient exercise frequently has been
taken. Too much starchy and fatty foods
have been eaten. The system has been
Spring comes with its bright, sunshiny days,
older people will begin to realize that their
vitality has become very low. The same
thing is true Of people who are naturally
sickly and weak.
- This is the season of ytheyear+ when evena
restless feeling is experienced by too many.
There need not be asmany deaths this year
as usually take place. A little care will ward
off many Spring funerals. If one is weak or
ailing they should take time by the forelock
and take DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy. This great medicine has been
in many cases, and will continue to be, the
means BY which the black angel of Death
has been driven from the threshold. It
dispels the grim destroyer in a scientific way,
for it p%urifies the blood and gives strength
and vitality to the nerves. It tones up and
restores to q healthy condition all of the
great life-giving organs of the body.
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy will enable those who take it to
throw off little ills that prove dangerous
only when they attack a system already
wasted and weakened. "a
From many people, who have experienced
benefit from this greatest of all li~fe-length-
eners, comes the following from the famous
General Lonsstreet of 1917 New Hampshire
Ave, Washington, D. C. He says:
at gives me great pleasure to add my
testimony with many others for Dr. reenet
Remedy, which l have used with highly
beneficial results, and I am able to recon-.
mend its virtues from experience. ! havs
used it for catarrh and have derived help

"I feel it my duty to tell how much good
DR.. Greene's Nervura has done me. Twas SO
run down that / could not sleep at night and
everything worried me. I had no appetite
and could not work, my head ached all the
time and there was an all-gone feeling in my
stomach, and I was always looking on the
dark side Of everything. Ibegan to take DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy
and in less than three weeks I felt like a
new man. / can now do as much work as 10
expected of q man of my age. I advise any
one who is troubled to take Dir. Greene's
Neryura: Do not 60 to q doctor, but get .
err than a doctors bill.

have it free if you will write or call on the
greatest known blood and nerve specialist,

Mutinous Prisoners Surrender.

Leavenworth, Kan. March 2O.-Fif-
teen guards in the Kansas peniten-
tiary mine and the property itself
were at the mercy of 2s4 mutinous,
hungry and desperate %convicts from
Monday morning until nearly mid
night Tuesday night. The convicts
demanded from Warden Tomlinson
a promise to give them better food
and less work, holding the keepers as
hostages and making threats to kill
their prisoners AMI destroy the mine
unless the demand was compiled with.
That officer held out until late Tues
day night for unconditional surren-
der, and then, by a ruse, rescued the
imprisoned guards and brought the
mutineers to terms.
