Life a
Burden

There are times when life
seems a burden-when you are
tired, WORKOUT, have dull pains
in the head and continual
feeling Of uneasincss. You
have no appetite, and your di-
gestion is poor; your sleep
broken, and you get no rest.
Little ailt1oyanccs seem great
mountains of trouble, and you
are blue, melancholy and given
over to gloomy forebodings.
This means low vitality-ex-
llausted brain nerves.
For this condition DR.. Miles
Restorative Nervinc is a spe-
cihc; tits a food for the nerves.

Try it to-day and see if your
sleep is not sound and refresh
ing, and the morrow brighter
and more hopeful.

serving his decision until he can con-
fer with Chairman Jones, of Norfolk
county. He had been an aYowed candl-
date for the nomination, but does not
concede the right Of the Portsmouth COM
mittee to act separately in the selection
Of a nominee.
State Senator T.. Finley Cromwell. who
has been an avoWed candidate for re-
nominal ton, has announced his retirement
from the race Mr.. Frank w Wonycutt,
another candidate, has retired also, and,
as Mr. Montague did not present his
name as a candidate before the Ports
mouth City Committee, Mr.. John3C Me
meyer, the only name presented will be
the nominee-unless the action of the
Portsmouth City Committee Is annulled
by the State Central Committee. While
no official notice has been sent to the
State chairman yet. it Is practically GER
tain that the case will be appealed to
the State Central Committee.
How Niemeyer Stands
Mr. Niemeyer Is understood to be fav-
ora BILE to any candidate for the circuit
judgeship who secures the endorsement
of the Portsmouth bar. and TO support
the candidate for the United States SEN
ate who wins In the State primary Mr..
Niemeyer is understood to be favorable
Il
que for the Senate, but stated to tho
committee that he would vote for tho
nominee of the primary, whoeveriit may
be.
The contest for the nomination Is COM
plcated by the redhot judgeship fight for
and against Circuit Judge w. N. Port
lock, and by the United States senator
ship contest, and, worst of all, by the
factional wrangle in Norfolk county.
The party primary plan provides that
the State senatorial primary shall be
held under the direction of the chair
men OF the counties Cor county, and
cities Cor city, comprising the senatorial
district The said chairmen shall de-
eide upon what date the primary cleo
ton Is to he held throughout the soma
torial district, except where there Is a
disagreement or tie; then the State
chairman shall act with the local chair
men or committees. leaving to the re-
spectlvc counties and cities the appoints
ment of Judges and clerks to conduct the
election, ETC.
A curious condition OF affairs would en-.
sue IL Norfolk county and Portsmouth
should hold separate primaries and nonl-
that seems easily possible. Tho primary
plan specifically provides for joint ac-
ton by city and county in tho primary,
but the city OF Portsmouth has already
declared nominations closed with but one
name entered. If the chairman OF the
Norfolk county committee. Mr.. George
w. Jones' agrees to the PRONUNCIATION Of
that name as the party nominee In the
district, there will be no further trouble,
but, If not, the State Committee must
settle the difficulty. FIX
