Tired Nervous

When you feel languid, tired, nervous and irritable, your vii tality is low-your supply of nerve energy exhausted, and your system running down for lack of power,
 The organs of the body are working poorly, or not at all, and you are not getting the nourishment needed. This soon impoverishes the blood and in- stead of throwing off the inn purities, distributes it all through the body. This brings disease and misery.
 Feed the nerves with Dr. Miles Nervine, nerve food, a nerve medicine, that nourishes and strengthens the nerves, and see~how quickly you will get strong and vigorous.
 My wife suffered with nervousness previous to a recent attack Of typhoid fever, but after her recovery rom the fever. she was much worse, and could hardly control herself being exceed ingly nervous when the least excited. She was very restless at night, and never had a good nights rest. She also suffered much from nervous head ache. Dr. Miles Nervine was recom- mended by a friend. After the. first three doses she had a good nights rest, and at the end of the first weeks treatment she was wonderfully inn proved. Continued use of Nervine has completed her entire cure"

\ WORD WITH THE GIRLS
Learn to Do the Little Things That Give Enjoyment to Yourself
 and Others.

It is the girl who does things in thii world who is attractive. both to men and to her own sex, which last countA . little, too, in the long run. You may not be able to do great things, to paiut great pictures or to sing in grand opera, but you can learn to make bright little things for yourself and your friends and perhaps the light "catchy" airs of the day so that yoUS friends will enjoy them, and n yos can't do anything else cultivate the art of talking brightly and of being sympathetic, says Good Housekeep- ing.
 Every girl can do one thing we'll fl she will only take the trouble to find out what that thing is. The difficulty Is that she often looks in the opposite direction; she wants to do something great and showy or nothing at all But there are other talents within reach II che will only look, and these talentx may be such comfort to her in her dark hours that they will make life belter and happier both for herself and those about her.
 How the world likes a cheerful plucky girl who makes a brave fight and hides her skeleton in a closet in- stead of folding her hands and whin. ing because things don't come her way the girl who puts her own griefs as much as possible aside and whc takes a wholesome interest in life-h the QUO who wins out every time

Some Success Achieved with Apples. Plums and Cherries in the
 Last Few Years.

A veteran nurseryman of Colorado heralds the fact that after years of pa' dent experiment in grating and budding he has secured seedless apple. Modest ly the creator has withheld information of his success until he has secured 40 trees of his new variety, says local in- dormant. Expert pomologists have ex- amined the new apple, and declare it to be very handsome in appearance. De- tails of the methods by which this achievement was attained have not been divulged, but when it is remembered that the million-box crop of navel oranges came from single shipment of six slips the start that has already been attained with 40 productive trees presages an early appearance of the seedles apple in commerce.
 The department of agriculture, as we'll as many grape growers, have been work Ing for years on the problem of seed less grape, and, while rumors of success
 have appeared from time to time during the past decade, the Sultana and Thomp- son seedless varieties have during the
 past year established their reputation
 among the viticulturists. The Japanese
 plum, without stone, is also reported .
 reality, although the seeds have not
 been obviated. Cherries without stones
 are promised in the immediate future.
 Seedless tomatoes are alleged to have been perfected by an Indiana woman, be- ing grown from the stock of the tomato. Qwhich is replanted when it is at its full Weight. Watermelons of the same freak Dtature are also rumored from Georgia, tbut not much credence is placed in this report, though if tomatoes have been perfected there is no essential reason why similar success should not be at' tAii1ed with the watermelon

Philippine Positions Not Wanted

Philippine Positions Not Wanted.
 Positions in the Philippines seem to go begging. Several months ago Col Edwards, chief of the insular bureau, called upon the civil service commits sion to certify candidates for 150 teachers positions paying from $2,000 to ss00 per annum. There were few applicants, fewer took the examina- ton, and only Az were found eligible for appointment Another examina- ton will, therefore, be held early in October. The insular bureau will not permit women to take the examina- ton for these positions, and the du- ties or pay Of pedasugue do not seem to appeal to the young men of the country.

$500 FOR LETTERS
 ABOUTTHE SOUTHWEST.

The Western Trail magazine offers six prizes aggregating in value $500 in railroad transporta- tion for letters from residents of Arkansas, East Colorado, Mis- souri, Kansas, Indian Territory, Oklahoma, Texas and New Mex ico.
 It wants letters that will in- duce energetic and ambitious men and women to settle in the great and growing Southwest and there engage in farming, cattle raising, dairying, fruit growing and similar pursuits.
 To accomplish the purpose which it has in view, the Vest ern Trail offers the following prizes in railroad transportation for the six letters which, in the opinion of a competent judge, shall be deemed best suited to its requirements:
 First prize, $100 in railroad transportation.
 Second prize, $75 in railroad transportation.
 Third prize, $50 in railroad transportation.
 Fourth prize, $25 in railroad transportation.
 Fifth prize, 1925 in railroad transportation.
 Sixth prize, $25 in railroad transportation.
 THE CONDITIONS ARE EASY.
 Letters should deal with tn writer's experiences since he set- tied in the Southwest. They should tell how much money he had when he rived, what he did when he first came, what measure of success has since crowned his efforts and what he thinks of that portion of country in which he is located.>
 Letters should not be less than 300 nor more than 1,5O0 words in length, and will be used for the purpose of advertising the South west. Letters are desired not only from farmers and farmers wives, but also from merchants, school teachers, clergymen; from everyone who has a story to tell and who knows how to tell it. Poetical contributions are not wanted.
 All cannot win prizes, but by their contributions they can as- sist the Western Trail in it's ef- forts to colonize and upbuild the Southwest.
 Contest closes June 30, 1905. Prizes will be awarded as soon thereafter as results can be de- termined. Address the Western Trail. 736-744 Van Buren street, Chicago, III.
