Nerve

Everything depends upon
YOUR nerves. 1t is nerve force
that causes the brain to direct
the motion Of your body; it is
nerve force that causes YOUR
heart to pulsate, and send the
blood through your veins; it
is nerve force that causes your
stomach to digest food, your
kidneys to filter the blood, and
the liver to secrete bile.
In fact, nerve force is the
power that runs your body, so
if you feel WORKOUT, irritable,
nervous, cannot sleep, or eat
well, have pain or misery
anywhere, your nerves are
weak, and your system rum
down. To restore this vitality
take DR.. Miles Nervine which
will strengthen and build tip
the nerves. You cannot be
healthy without strong nerves.
For eighteen years Dr. Miles
Nervne and AntlPain Pills have been
my close companions. Early in mar
ried life, while raising children. nv
nerves became all worn -out--could not
sleep. had no appetite; Indigestion

spells. Then | began using Or. Mllos'

OPINION ON NEW LAW.
Fits Interprets Act
Regarding Insurance Agents.

Montpelier, Feb State Treasurer e
II. Deavitt recently wrote Attorney Cen
eral G. G. Fits for an opinion of the law
regarding issuing licenses to outside
agents and to the payment of brokerage
to resident agents by such outside agents
Mr.. Deavtt asked these question in his
capacity as Insurance comm ssioner.
Attorney General Fitts's reply stated
in substance that act No. 1870 Of the laws
of 1906 does not repeal section 4l97 of the
Vermont statutes The Httorney-gene
Interpreted act 130 as intended to put Il
stop 10 the practice which has recently
obtained to quite ar extent. of large in
surance firms in cities Of other states TAX
ing over the insurance OF large manu-
featuring or business plants in the State
which are controlled outside.
He cites the international Paper COM
pany of Bellows Falls which is insured
through New York or Boston agencies,
who in order to comply with the law
had their agents send tho policies to
Vermont to be Countersigned by some
agent. Mr.. Fits interprets act 100 as the
result Of a move on the part of Yer
mont agents to stop that practice and
compel parties desiring insurance ON
Vermont property to deal with Vermont
agents.
Mr.. Fits also rules that an unli-
censed agent of 2 domestic fire insur-
ance company cannot. under the new
law. broker insurance on Vermont
property for another licensed Vermont
agent.
In regard to the question whether
act 100 prevents the issue of licenses
to nonresident agents Mr.. Fits says:
Il do not understand how this act
changes the law in that regard, except
that even licensed nonresident agent
cannot procure insurance from rest
dent agent under section of the act.

SMACK COSTS A FLYER.
What Happened When John Thomas
Called on His Girl

A story of a quarrel between lovers was
told in the Police Court this morning,
when John Thomas. colored, was arrag ned
before Judge Mulowny a charge Of
striking Maggie Brown, also colored.
Maggie testified that the trouble occurred
November %, and she admitted that the
date proved a "skidoo" in several ways
for Thomas. The latter had, she said, been
her particular friend, but they had some
trouble. Thomas was passing her house
on the particular ''23'' day in question and
he went in to her. Following a dispute,
she stated, he hit her.
HE smacked me right on my face she
testified.
There are smacks on the face that are
not assaults" stated Attorney Jones for
the defense. Was this not a love smack?'
mo, sir replied Maggie.
How long has this boy been coming to
see you?" she was asked
Several months" was the reply.
Have you told him that you love him?"

the girl.
Didn't you get a revolver and point it
at him?"

witness.

tested Thomas. Il didn't hit her, judge,

ANOTHER COUNTERFEIT.
Against $40 Note Sent Out
bv the Secret Service

Still another new counterfeit has appeared
in the field, and warning has been sent out
by the secret service. The counterfeit just
discovered is of the $40 Buffalo note. The
secret service circular describes the note
as follows:
Series of 1901: check letter c; face plate
number 3; back plate number indeciphera-
BILE probably 50; ]. W. Lyons, register of
the treasury; Ellis H. Roberts, treasurer of
the United States.
This counterfeit is printed on three
pieces of thin paper between which SILK
threads have been distributed, from zinc
etched plates which have / en- touched up
with an engraving tool. The portraits of
Lewis and Clarke and the picture of the
buffalo are particularly bad and should
easily lead to the detection of this counter
felt The seal and large mineral on the
face of the note are much too light IN color.
The numbering is fairly good. The back is
poorly printed, the green ink being smeared
over the white lettering in many places.
This counterfeit should not deceive per-
