WASHINGTON, March 25.--It has
been decided that in the Panama canal
commission reorganization the pres-
dent must appoint commission con
sisting of seven members. Mr.. Roose-
welt considers that such a number
makes the commission unwieldy, but
as congress failed to provide for a
smaller commission it is held by the
attorney general that tho appointment
of a commission of seven members is
mandatory on the president.

Build Up

Neglect and carelessness are the general causes
of all disease.
People never become dangerously sick until
after nature has given them many warnings.
The great mistake is not paying attention to
these warnings.
When you feel run down. used up" "ner-
vous, tired most of the time-it means that some
thing is wrong and nature is warning you
You need more nerve force to build up your
system
Strengthen your nerves. increase your nerve
force and your health will take care of itself
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-
tans its vigor and strength.
But if the nerves degenerate or lose power from
poor nourishment any other cause, the entire
physiological mechanism of the body is thrown
out Of gear and we have as result some run
down" 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 GEN.
tres are weakened these important organs cannot
act properly.

Prof Phelps, of Dartmouth University, was the
first physician to enunciate the principle which to-
day is recognized as one of the foundations of the
science of medicine,-the great enlightening truth
that the nerve system rules all the bodys health.
The nerves must have food to keep up their
strength. Their food is not the same food that
we usually know.
He sought and found the food that builds up
and restores the nerves-his celery formula, which
has become famous as Paines Celery Compound
the celebrated nerve vitazer and tonic.
Paines Celery Compound is giving new nerve
force to thousands every day by feeding and re-
storing the nerves to their full strength. 1t
never fails to build up a run down system to
full, ruddy health.
Two days treatment proves its marvellous
power 1t braces you up. You feel better at
once.
Sick headache, papitation, dizziness, and
heartburn are usually relieved by single dose
of Paines Celery Compound.
Remember ths,-Paine's Celery Compound is
the prescription of one of the most famous physi-
clans this country has ever known, and all repu-
table Druggists sell and recommend it.
