THUNDER STORMS, THEN SNOW

The fair weather, capped by real
summary thunder showers and a hail
storm Sunday were forerunners of the
blizzard which swept across Virginia
Tuesday. Snow began to fall in the
early morning, and as the day passed
the wind increased until it was a blind

in many places. The blizzard was the
worst in this section in several years,
and many wrecks are strewn along the
coast, besides several accidents to Bay
vessels, whose pilots could not see
through the binding storm. Traffic
and mails have been delayed.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to anemic
nerve centers. The nerve centers are
tho reservoirs OF nervous vitality. These
centers become bloodless for want of
