In the few days that ne has been
here. Mr.. Read has been greatly i'm

over his massive head and forehead.

Are You Tired, Nervous
 and Sleepless !?

Nervousness and sleepleseness are us- ually due to the fact that the nerves are not fed on properly nourishing blood; they are stdrped nerves. Dr.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes pure, TSoh blood, and thereby the nerves are properly nourished and all the organs of the body are run as smoothly as machin- cry which runs in oil. In this way you feel clean, strong and strenuous-you are toned up and invigorated, and you arp good for whole lot of physical or mental work. Best of all, the strength and ln- crease in vitality and health are LdsttnQ.
 The trouble with most tonics and med icines which have large, booming sale for a short time, Is that they are largely composed of alcohol holding the drugs in solution. This alcohol shrinks up the red blood corpuscles, and in the long run exhilarated and better for the time being, yet in the end weakened and with vitality decreased. Dr. Plerce's Golden Medical Discovery contains no alcohol. Every bottle of 1t bears upon its wrapper The Bad0e of Honestly, in full llst of all It's several ingredients. For the druggist to offer you something he claims IS "1ust as good j is to insult your intelligence.

AMERICAS DISCOVERY
IRISH SAID TO HAVE BEATEN CO., LUMBUS HERE.
Irish- American Writer Declares That St. Brendan Was This COuntry's Real Discoverer and That He Arrived Here During the
 Sixth Century.

Indianapolis Star.
 It has often been noted that the fair land of America seems, to be peculiarly fitted for the Irish. The reason for this has hitherto been somewhat obscure Now all Is made clear. Daniel J. Dwyer in a full page article In The Irish World and American Industrial Liberator. tells the story. The Irish discovered America, and for many cen- turtles before Christopher Columbus set sail from Palos America had been on the maps as Irlanda Fl Kabirah, Great Ireland. Briefly stated. this is MT. Dwyers contention:
 "The first recorded white settlers of this continent were Irish. This evi- dence is derived from the great number of ancient Scandinavian manuscripts in Iseland, which all scholars now admit were written centries before the time of Columbus, and which explicitly tell In many places of an Irish settlement in the southeast part of what Is now called the United States, called Great Ireland, or Whiteman's Land, the lat ter being the Indian appellation. Dur ing the Very century that St. Brendan lived the Irish missionaries sailed in every direction in the Northern Allan tic, and then, or shortly after, settled in Iceland and probably Greenland. and further south on our coast"
 Mir. Dwyer does not wish to detract rom the reputation of Columbus. His voyage was undoubtedly an important one. But why not have things right? The real discoverer of America, so far as white men are concerned. was St. Brendan. and he made his first trip to this continent early in the sixth cen- tury.
 St. Brendan Real DiscOverer.
 It is impossible to give all the his torical proofs which the other cites in support of his contention. It Is i'm teresting to note, however, that this St. Brendan. who, If MT. Dwyer is right. should certainly share with St. Patrick the gratitude of the Irish race. was so well known that his name was spelled In no less than twenty different ways. MT. Dwyer says:
 There are sN many e-Columbian copies of the Navigation on the conti- nent of Europe that the great author, De Roo, finds St. Brendan's name spell ed over twenty different ways-Bren- dan, Brendain, Brendann. Brondan, Borondan. etc, and he finds and proves that St. Brendan was he says "a re- markable historical parsonage.
