companions 49, J.. =. Mathews0n, aged

were rescued with great difficulty and
were removed TO the Rhode Island hos

posure.
The three young men in the canoe

the water from the falls fell on them.
Finally persons on shore threw life

waist In water close under the falls,
and when the would be rescuers threw

unable to move him. In the roar Of
the cataract his shouts could not be
heard, but it was evident that one Of
his legs had become caught under a
rock or some other object under water.

strengthened by the placing in commits

of this means of reaching vessels In

Keep
Your Nerve

1t is nerve energy that runs
the organs of your body. The
storage battery is the nerve
cells in the brain and spinal
cord, and from this battery
nerve force is sent out through
the system of nerves. To keep
the body healthy you must
have plenty of nerve force; Il
you have not, the organs work
imperfectly, the circulation IS
sluggish, digestion bad, appe-
tite poor, kidneys inactive, and
aches, pains and misery are
the penalty.
You can keep the system
strong with DR.. Miles Nervine.
1t assists in generating nerve
energy; it strengthens the
nerves and makes the whole
system strong and vigorous.
az take pleasure in recommending
pr Miles Neryine to those suffering
from nervous prostration. insomnia
and melancholy. After several
months suffering from above diseases
tried this medicine and found imme-
date relief. 1t soothes and strength
ems the nerves. chases away the
gloomy and depressing thoughts and
gives the sufferer renewed strength
and hope. 1t Is superb nerve re-
storer."

tor Of the Pisgah Presby terian church
at Corsica twenty-eight years, and
was known to a large number

dropped dead at his home in Corsica at
4 90 p. m. Wednesday afternoon of last
week He had been out visiting a
parishoner and had just returned home.
He had not complained of being i'll and
was in apparently good health, hence

severe shock to the people of Corsica
and surrounding community.
Rev. Britt was universally beloved,
not only by his congregation, but by a
wide community in which his high
personal character was known. He
was well known throughout this section
and was one OF the most prominent
clergymen In the Clarion presbytery
He is survived by his wife, two sons
and daughter. The children were all
absent from home at the time of his
death, being pupils at the Grove City
college.
