WOMEN MUST SLEEP.
Avoid Nervous Prostitution.

If you are dangerously sick what is
the first duty of your physician? He
quiets the nervous system, he deadens
the pain, and you sleep well.
Friends ask, ''what is the cause ?"
and the answer comes in plying
tones, nervous prostration. 1t came
upon you SO quietly in the beginning,
that you were not alarmed, and when
sleep deserted you night after night
until your eyes fairly burned in the
darkness, then you tossed in nervous
agony praying for sleep.

Beers within 10 Mile. of Cape Town.

LONDON, Sept pa most alarmist
letter from Cape Town is published to-
day by The Daily Express. The writer
says The Beers are overrunning Cape
Colony. They are on both the coast lines
and within 10 miles of Cape Town. Even
the intelligence department does not
know how many colonial rebels have TAX
en- up arms in the last fortnight.
'"rhe town guard of Cape Town has
been handing IN the magazine rifles and
ammunition ostensibly because these are
wanted at the front Martini-Henri's
have been served out instead
In conclusion the writer declares: THE
Dutch element in the colony is revolving
and it is useless to disguise the fact"
At Pretoria the strength Of the Beers
in the field is now estimated at 900.
If these figures be correct the Beers are
constantly getting recruits. Their sup
ply of arms and ammunition seems to be
inexhaustible.
In Roer circles in Holland it is assert
ed that everything is prepared for a
Dutch rising in both Cape Colony and
Natal
