Nervous Headache
Breeds Insanity

Many a persons whole pleasure
In life Is ruined by the fear OF ner.
vous headaches. Any little excite
ment, no matter what, business or
social, brings them on. The feet
and hands grow cold, the head Is
hot, the eye stiff, the temples throb
and only In the quiet of a dark room
Is relief obtained. This condition
must be checked or 1t means COM
plete mental ruin. To those people
DR.. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills
come as blessing. They do not
stop, they cure the headaches.
They do not blanket, they build up.
They put the nervous system In
strong, vigorous, sturdy condition
"a condition that gives one resistive
power and enables them to again
enjoy lifes pleasures.
Mrs M. Bandi of Main St,
New Martinsville, w. Va, says

I can't recommend DR.. A. w.

THE LAU MELOMELO.
How Hawaiian Natives Go After the
Finny Tribe.

How Hawaiian Natives Go After the
Finny Tribe.
"Lau melomelo'' is the name Of de-
coy used by the native fishermen Of
Hawaii. 1t is made of the hardest
wood to be found on the islands and is
carved and rubbed till it assumes the
shape of a club with little knob at
the smaller end, to which the line is
tied.
The club is from one to three feet
long. A village sorcerer performs GER
tain rites over it over sacred fire.
After this is done the club is magic,
and the fisherman must be extremely
careful Of it. If woman should step
over it or enter a canoe in which it lies,
the club would lose all it's power and
would be useless ever afterward.
After the club has been charmed the
nut meat, bakcs it and ties the mixture
In Il wrapper Of cOcoanut fiber.
At the fishing grounds the club is
covered with the oily juice Of the
stuff and is then lowered carefully to
the bottom. The scent of the baked
nut meat attracts certain kinds Of fish,
which soon gather and begin to nibble
at the club. AS soon as enough fish are
around the dccOy q small bag shaped
net is lowered very gently until it's
mouth is just over the club. The latter
is then pulled up carefully and cum
ningIy till it is within the bag. The fish
are so eager for the stuff with which
the club is covered that they follow it
into the net without fear. AS soon as
all the fish are in it fisherman dives
and closes the mouth Of the net, where
upon the rest haul it up quickly

CORONER JAMES
DENIES CHARGES
Issues Statement About Jail
of Which He as Coroner
Has Charge.

In connection with the charges recently
made in reference to the condition of the
county Jail. OF which he, as coroner of
Henrico, has charge, Or. Lorrimer James
yesterday prepared and issued the fol-
lowing statement.
MY attention was called on yesterday
to two articles recently published, In
which Mr.. Guigon charges that the county
jail is in a dreadful condltlon-"not fit
for dog to stay in etc.
I wish now TO state that this is incor-
rect.
AS the physician to the Jail. It ls my
duty TO lok after the surrounding OF
the prlsoners to see that no condition
exists that Is likely to produce sickness
I inspect the jail almost daily: and
know that II Is thoroughly cleaned
every day.
Besides, It Is washed out as often as
needed, often several times week, AMI
Is then disinfected with a preparation
for the determination of vermin and
then with preparation Of lime.
The cleaning is carried on by the pris-
oners. under the charge of foreman
(and any prisoner who refuses to perform
his allotted task is placed in the dun
geon).
The fact that there has been no case
of serious sickness there In several years
that could be traced either directly or
Indirectly to any local cause or condi-
ton is conclusive proof that Mr.. Gulgon
spoke hastily and unadvisedly. not know
ing whereof he spoke.
The jail is badly ventilated, but the
blame for that is to be laid to the archi-
tects and constructors
And where thirty or more negroes are
confined within close quarters in warm
weather we could hardly expect savory
doors to proceed therefrom. and that
was the probable basis of Mr.. Guigons
Impressions.
will be glad to have physicians or
other persons to go with me through the
Jail at any time. but do not propose to
submit to the discourtesy of the mode OF
inspection which. Mr.. Guigon proposed
feel that, as a matter Of Justice, the
mistake of Mr.. Guigon's communication
referring to the Jail should be corrected.
hence this communication.
