Are you one of those who hear the
clock strike all night?
Each hour seems like three.
Sleeplessness is nerve-excitement.
Sedatives may seem to help for the time
being, but the reaction leaves the
nerves more irritated than ever
Well nourished nerves are calm and
steady. Their only source of nourishment
is the food we eat.
Food to be of value must be digested
and ssimilated-otherwise we starve.
Breakfast, dinner and supper contain all
the nerve food required.

Viii Lay Out New Road.

Last Thursday residents of the town
of Morrison, Brown county, and of the
town of tooperstown, Manitowoc county,
made application to County Judge
Chloupek for the appointment of three
special road commissioners to provide
for the laying out of new road through
parts of the towns above named. Farm
erI there consider the road necessity
and it is thought that the proposed road
will be laid out in the near future, al.
though the case was dismissed because
of an error that had been made at the
start in the petitioning by farmers of
the aforesaid towns. 1t was thought
advisable TO take all preliminary steps
over again prior to the naming of u
commission to take testimony as to the
necessity of the proposed road.
