While aawoman was waiting to de- posit five dollars in New England savings bank she saw a man draw out $900. She had never before seen so much money at once, and concluded that the bank could not stand such a heavy drain on it's resources. She told her friends about it, and the news spread that the bank was in danger.

You Must
 Sleep.

If you cannot, 1t IS due to an irritated or congested state of the brain, which will soon de- velope into nervous prostration.
 Nature demands sleep, and it is as important as food; it is a part of her building and sustaining process. This period of inconsistencies relaxes the mental and physical strain, and allows nature to restore ex- hausted vitality.
 Dr. Miles Nervine brings refreshing sleep, because it soothes the irritation and re- moves the congestion.
 It is also nerve builder; 1t nourishes and strengthens ev- cry nerve in your body, and creates energy in all the organs.
 Nothing will give strength and vitality as surely and quickly as Dr. Miles Nervine.
 During the past winter I had two attacks of I-aGrippe which left me very weak. and in bad condition. T was so nervous could not sleep. My wife, after trying different remedies, went for a doctor. The doctor. was out and a neighbor recommended pr. Miles Nervine. and she brought home a bottle. had not slept for some time, and had terrible pains in my head. the pain was not so severe, and I slept. I am now taking the second bottle. and am very much improved.'

Lakeland News: There are
business men who will tell yol
that people don't read advertise
ments.
This is an argument against adj
vertisement, the fallacy of which
was long ago established.
People do read advertisements.
There may be certain kinds of
advertisements that are not read,
Just as there are books, certain ar
ticles in magazines and news
papers, that arc not read. They
are dull and uninteresting; who
can blame people for not reading
ihemi
The advertisements, when the
advertiser knows his business and
gives this branch of it proper at
tention, are quite as interesting as
any other department of a news
paper.
People want to know where
they can get good values for their
money where they can find articles
they need where their trade will
be appreciated. They are as
mach interested in these things
perhaps more soften in the pol
iiical or general news or even the
neighborhood gossip.
Any advertising is better than
none, Merely your name and a
statement of the nature of your
business will serve to show that
you are a candidate for trade, and |
will keep your name before the
pis1lic. Z hat is worth much : for
the public is very forgetful.
But you could tell the readers of
the paper 'store news" in such a
way that their interest would be
excited and your business would
profit.
