WHY HOT WEATHER MAKES WOMEN NERVOUS.
Suggestions BY Or. Hartman. How
10 Combat the Nervous Depression
Incident 10 Warm Weather.

Nervousness IL very common among
women. This condition Is due to anacmic
nerve ccnters. The nerve ccntcrs are
the reservoir for nerve vitality. These
centers become bloodless for the want
OF proper nutrition.
This condition Ia especially noticeable
during the warm season. Every SUM
mer an army Of inyaiids are produced as
q direct result OF Weak nervous systems.
This could easily be overcome by the
use OF Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root Of the trouble by correcting tho
digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes
increased nutrition for the nerve ccnters.
Perfectly digcstcd food gives these rcscr-
| volrs Of life n vitality which creates
| strong. steady nerves. and In this man
| ner fortities and nourlshcs life.

RAPID TRANSIT
WINS THE CASE
NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGES FOR
MULES.

The Rapid Transit Company won i'm
the suit brought against it by Dong
Chong, by a decision handed down this
morning by the Supreme court, sus-
tanning the first circuit court in order
ing a nonsuit. Dong Chong sued for
$123. IS damages on account of damage
to a mule team caused by a Rapid
Transit car. The district magistrate
ordered a nonsuit and the case was
appealed. and in the circuit court also
a nonsuit was ordered,
Magoon & Lightfoot appeared for
plaintiff and Castle & wilmington for
defendant.
The syllabus of TIE decision says:
after having left a team of gentle
mules hitched in a narrow place be-
tween the sidewalk and car tracks
where they had been hitched on pre-
vious occasions and from where cars
could be seen when several hundred
yards away, the plaintiff unhitched
the mules and took his seat on the wa
gon, when he saw defendants electric
car coming about so feet away. He
frightened the reins and put on the
brake. When the car was abreast Of
the mules, they suddenly shied towards
the car, i'm consequence of which one
of them was struck and injured, so that
it had to be killed. The car, although
on a down grade, was then stopped i'm
about 65 feet Plaintiff and another
witness testired that the car was go
ing at an unusually rapid rate. In an
action for damages, a nOnsuit was or
dered. Held.
1T was not as matter of law such
| contributory negligence as would pre-
clude a recovery to hitch the mules i'm
a narrow place, or not to look to see
| If a car was approaching before un-
hitching or not to delay unhitching un-
til the car had gone by. If such acts
or omissions constituted negligence
that would not necessarily relieve the
! defendant of responsibility. Plaintif
and defendant had equal rights to the
use of the street, and although de-
Il fendant had superior rights to some
extent i'm the use OF the tracks, It's
servants were bound to exercise du'
care TO avoid injury to the PLAINTIFF
