The True Way to Correct Nervous

Nervous troubles are more often

main features of my breakfast. Final
ly dyspepsia came on and found my
self In bad condition, worse in the

"At times I would have no appetite
for days, then / would feel ravenous,
never satisfied when / did eat and so
nervous l felt like shrieking at the
top of my voice. lost flesh badly
and hardly knew which way to turn

HAVE REAL AMERICAN BLOOD.
Many Families Proud Of Their Indian
Strain.

At the jamestown tercentennial In
1907 there is to be a gathering of the
descendants of Pocahontas. This will
probably not be q very large COM
pany, but 1t will be eminently respect
able, and in these days when the In
dian is dropping his tribal Affiliations
and becoming citizen 1t will stand
for something. Pocahontas married
John Rolfe and they had one son.
From this son, Thomas Rolfe sprang
all the Pocohontans who will gather
at jamestown next year.
Socially there has never been any
race prejudice in this country against
the Indian like that which has shut
out the negro, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. The Spaniards and
the French in the early days on the
continent intermarried with the In
dians freely, and the French Cana
dians in the case of the French, and
the Mexicans in that of the Spaniards,
have been the outcome. The inter-
mixture between the Spaniards and
the red men extended through Cen
trail and South America, as we'll as
through that part of North America
in which Spanish ascendency once as
serted itself. But among the English
and among the inhabitants of the
United States the mixing of blood has
always been far less than it was with
the Spanish and French residents of
the continent. Even among the So
called Anglo-Saxons intermarriages
with the aborigines have been more
numerous than is popularly supposed.
Much more than half of the $1,000
Indians, actual and constructive, in
the five civilized tribes are a mixture
of the white and red races. More
than 1000 of those theoretical In
dians are white persons who have
been adopted into the tribes.
Probably the transformation Of the
2s4,000 existing Indians into citizens
may increase the mixture of the races
to some extent. Those Indians who
are taking up the white mans burden
are averaging pretty we'll up to the
level of the white immigrants, and
some of them are above that level
They are found in almost every walk
of life. The members of the five
tribes of the Indian territory have
been governing themselves for two
thirds of a century and are fairly well
able to hold their own in any test
with the average whites of any COM
munity. John Randolph expressed
pride in his descent from Pocahontas,
and there are many white men Of
high standing in the west who are
proud of a similar lineage.

The janitor OF one of Portsmouth's
largest churches was given big sur

into the auditorium after opening the
big front doors to allow of the usual
airing out He came face to face with
a strange and tough-looking man. At
first the janitor feared touch of the
chills, but he finally brought himself
together and inquired of the man what
he had been doing.
The fellow said that he had been en-.
joying nights rest on the cushions

night he was attracted to the church
by the singing of the choir during re-
hearsal. He found the door open.
walked in and sat down.
The music had that soothing effect
and the wanderer fell asleep. He knew
nothing more until daylight, when he
awoke wondering where he was at. He
said that in all his life he had never
found a more comfortable bed.

nothing was disturbed and then al.

Partisan Meat Supply.

The last year for which complete
statistics concerning the meat sup.
ply of Paris have been published Ia
1903. From the reports of that year
1t appears that 267, ,O27 cattle, 274,390
calves and 2,047,770 sheep were
slaughtered at the city abattoirs and
produced 156,Oo7,s5o Kilograms (or
327,61s.4 .4S5 pounds) of meat, of which
12S, ,1S0 Kilograms (259,795,57s
pounds) were consumed in Paris, and
32,292,6 $50 kilograms exported. Some
of the choicest of French beef goes TO
England, where the fillets and other
prime cuts are in demand for clubs.
hotels, and the best class of restau-
rants. During the same year there
were killed 2S2. sos hogs, which yield
ed 27,657,35O Kilograms (5S,0s0,4 ,435
pounds of pork, and 1880 horses,
which furnished 7,305,650 Kilograms
(or 1874, ,S65 pounds) of meat, all Of
which was consumed in Paris.

The Khaki Uniform.

The khaki uniform has won its
way to general favor, but the old blue
army shirt retains It's place in the re-
gard of the soldiers. The war de-
partment allows it to be understood
that there will be no further attempt
to supplant the blue with the khaki
colored garment, on the ground that
the blue shirt is both more comforta-
BILE and more serviceable than the
other. Besides, sometimes it is ad-
visable in military maneuvers to have
blue and drown" forces, and with
the old style of shirt available 1t is
always easy to produce command
of "boys in blue" With all the ad.
yantages of the new field outfit for
the soldiers, sayS the Troy Times,
there will remain strong sentiment
in favor of the "army blue" and the
fact that the color Is retained for
dress uniforms shows the hold 1t has
upon the government and TIA people

the confederates, however, the federal
army, with all its resources, was not

miles of marching and a preliminary
skirmish used up four days more, and
only on July 21 was the battle deliv-
