The "Run Down" Condition

"Why do feel used up and all run down most
of the timer
How many ask themselves this question daily?
The answer is simple 1t is lack of nerve force
Science with its unerring methods of research
has proved that the various organs and tissues OF
the body continue in health and perform their
work properly as long as their nerve supply re-
tains its vgor and strength. But If the nerves
degenerate or lose power from poor nOurishment
or any other Cause the entire physiological mech
anism of the body is thrown out OF gear and we
have as a result some pronounced rundown
condition or disease
The heart, the stomach, the liver all have their
great nerve centres which supply them with the
power to work properly When these nerve CEN
tres are weakened these important organs cannot
act properly.
The experience Of Charles E. Stacy is
case in point

ment Of stomach and iiver"-Chas Z.
Stacy, $50 Fifth Ave.
of Paines Celery Compound, was the first physl-
clan to openly declare twenty years ago that the
health of the human body depends entirely upon
the health of the nerves
Paines Celery Compound furnishes food for
the nerves themselves, and, while gently stimu-
lating them, restores them to their original
strength and vigor and at once all the organs of
the body take up their work and health is re-
stored
Paines Celery Compound sends new life throb-
bing through every artery and gives that glorious
feeling of perfect health.
For the past II years this great nerve vitazer
and tonic has been the most universally used pre-
scrpton in the world. Pale, sckly children,
weary women, broken-down, discouraged men
find strength and happiness in this great pre-
scription.
1t cures disease by removing the cause. When
ever YOU suffer from rheumatism, headache,
sleeplessness, dyspepsia, nervousness or run
down" condition you can be cured by Paines
Celery Compound Its effect is almost inmedi-
ate.
Remember this,-Pane's Celery Compound is
the prescription of one OF the most famous phys
icans this country has ever known, and all reput
able druggists sell and recommend 1t.

TO LIFT TENDERLOIN LID.
VORD PASSED GROUND.
Higher Up" officials Think They
Haze BGmbO0zIed McAdOO.

A rur1or was current in the Tenderloin last
night that the anxiou-'y awaited order TO
open up" had at last been passed along to the
gamblers. poolroom keepers and owners of dives
and disorderly houses. The lid is to be taken
of. so goes the password. and tonight will be
lifted tentatively.
In the various precincts Of the fourth inspec-
ton district. among which are the West Thir-
tleth and West Forty-seventh ST. stations. there
were unmistakable signs of activity in this
direction last night. 4 well known member of
tie gambling fraternity said to a Tribune re-
porter:
AT last the time has come. BY the end Of this
week. things viii be running as wide open as
ever, only the word has been given that business
must be conducted in a quleter and less ostenta-
tious fashion. The police guards who have been
stationed for weeks past outside the various
gambling and pool rooms are not as efficient
bars to the conducting of business as the I'M
initiated might think.
Il know what 1 am talking about when I say
that several Of these plain clothes are stand
ing pat with the people in places they are sup
posed to be watching. / could name TO you two
plain clothes men who last week wrote their
port as 10 what went on on their posts while
acting as guards outside Of gambling houses be-
fore they left the station. This will give you an
idea Of how valuable the so-cailed police guards
really are.
beginning this week. the number Of these
guards. however, will be decreased. All those
plain clothes men who are not on or. in other
words who are trying to do their duty as police
guards. viii be taken away from their posts
and sent back TO precincts where there is no
business going on McAdoo, who, OF course, Is
on the level, visited the Tenderloin on Satur-
day night. and was taken by Captain Burfeind
all over the precinct. He expressed himself I
understand as thoroughly well satisfied with
conditions there and with what being done
to check gambling and vice. That is all that
certain men in the Police Department have
been waiting for. Now that the boss IS sat-
isfed. and isn't likely TO watch things so close
~. they feel that they may safely take a step
IN the direction OF opening up
&c r. ain Burfeind. who every one OF us regard
IS perfectly honest official, has been kept in
