Miss Sanborn's Ducks.

Miss Kate Sanborn, who has writ.
ten much on the abandoned farms OF
New Hampshire, tells Of an experience
she had in raising ducks. The ducks
proved to be enormous feeders and
were consuming the profits Of the farm
without making the expected returns
in eggs. One day the ducks were at
the kitchen door clamoring for more
food when an old farmer called.
To him Miss Sanborn told the story
Of her failure to coax the ducks to
lay. The farmer laughed uproariously
and finally said:

Keep
Your Nerve

It 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; If
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.
Il take pleasure in recommending
Dr.. Niles Nervine TO those suffering
from nervous prostration. insomnia
and melancholy. After several
months suffering from above diseases
tried this medicine and found imme.
date relief. II soothes and strength

gloomy and depressing thoughts and

The probability of the Government IL

ment is that not even a conditional

no contract would be awarded.
The retirement from the commits.
sion of Theodore P. Shonts and the
resultant elevation Of Chief Engineer

nouncement that, perhaps. after all,
