FIREMEN
And Engineers Becoming Plenti-
fuI On Local Roads.

The scarcity of men to run trains
on the railroads, about which SO much
has been said, is being relieved. Mum
bers of men, who doubtless had heard
of the scarcity of railway help in Ak
ron, have lately been coming to the
city and seeking employment.
The railways have been and are
very busy, and this season of the year
Is one which occasions exhaustion
quite frequently among engineers and
tiremen. so that an unusually large
number of men are constantly EN-
ployed. They are relieved at shorter
intervals and not worked so hard as
during cooler weather and this has
helped to create the scarcity of help

WATER
For the Various Schools
Is a Source of Worry to the
Board.

The drinking water for the various
schools is causing the Board CT Educa-
ton to think serious thoughts. City
water is regarded by certain Of the
members as unfit for the pupils and
while there are wells at nearly all the
schools, it is very difficult to keep them
in order, because of their popularity
with the general public. Pumps are
broken, water wasted and much annoy
ance given the janitors of most of the
buildings. The wells at most Of the
schools have been abandoned on this
account.
Mrs. Alexander Adamson has made q
proposition to members of the Board,
offering to supply drinking water for
the schools, from the springs at her
new home west of the city. The Board
will consider the matter.

LOOKING INWARD,
Could You Look Inside Yourself You Would
See Why The Nerves Have Such a Wide
Influence Over Health.

see Why Inc k6TV6S Nave SUCH WllS
Influence Over Health.
|. The influence of Nerve Control over
health was never so fully recognized
as now. 1t is clearly illustrated in
the thousands of cures made by DR.,
A. w. Chase's Nerve Pills--a medicine
that has leaped into public favor sole
ly on its wonderful nerve restoring
properties. The reason Nerve Pills
break down the barriers of Ill health,
is because they restore Nerve Energy,
the main spring Of health. They sup
ply the something that is wanting
which makes the human machinery run
smoothly, they act through that great
network of human organism, reaching
every part of the body--the nerves.
DR.. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills do
not act as q monentary stimulant that
excites and whips up the nerves for
the time being only--they first stop
the wasting process and then build
up nerve energy by replacing nerve
waste with active, responsive tissue
