Continual Strain.

Many men and women are constant
ly sub jected to what they common
ly term "a continual strain" because
of some financial or family trouble.
1t wears and distresses them both
mentally and physically, affecting
their nerves badly and bringing on
liver and kidney ailments, with the
attendants evils Of constipation, loss
of appetite, sleeplessness, low vitality
and despondency. They cannot, as
a rule, get rid of this continual
strain but they can remedy its
ealth-destroying effects by taking
frequent doses of Green's August
Flower. 1t tones up the liver, slim
mates the kidneys, insures healthy
bodily functions, gives vim and
spirit to ones whole being, and event
ually dispels the physical or mental
distress caused by that continual
strain Trial bottle OF August
Flower, 25c; regular size, 75c. AT all

SAME CAR WAS
UPSET BEFORE

Joseph Goodkey recalled that four
years ago the same car overturned at
the Fourth Street curve IN a manner
similar to the accident Of this morning.
At that time, however, the car was not
going SO fast and no one was seriously
injured.
Few of the passengers on the Inflated
car attach the blame Of the accident Oh
the mOt0rmau He did his best they
say
1t is generally thought that the thick
ness Of the fog prevented clear vle1
OF the track, SO that the mOtormau could
not see the curve until almost on it,
when it was too late.
Shortly after the accident one Of the
victims was brought 90 Sibley Hospital
seriously injured internally The nurses
urged him TO so 20 bed, oIt he insisted
on returning 20 his home FIRST iu order
that his family might not be worried.
The hospital authorities realized that
the man was seriously injured, and
urged him 10 remain az the hospital and
have word sent 20 his family. He in
sisted Ola having his own way however,
and iu spite OF warnings walked out,
and has not since been seen. The uurs-
es say he was in weakened condition

MANY INQUIRIES
FOR INJURED ONES

A large crowd assembled al the scene
an during the morning For hours after
the accident occurred distracted men,
women, and children who had relatives
on the Inflated car swarmed about the
place and made inquiries concerning
some loved one.
AN employee OF the railroad company
having a list OF all the injured was sta
toned there 10 answer the questions OF
these people, and his task proved 90 be
nothing easy. Time and again he was
compelled 10 TeassuTe grief-sJriCiSeu pa
