Farm Boys Sticking to 1t.

Recently the United States govern
ment placed $4,000 in the hands of
we'll known advertising agents to
spend in advertising for recruits for
the navy. The agents decided that
they would use a, part of the appro-
priation in agricultural papers and
did so. Parties who wanted to know
the result of such advertising made
inquiry of 1000 young men who re-
sponded to the governments adver-
Using and were accepted for service
They found that very few of them
came from the farm. And they figured
that while every man secured through
advertising in magazines and city
papers cost the government $3.50,
every one secured through the agri-
cultural papers cost it $65. Evidently
it will not pay Uncle Sam to adver-
tise for sailors in agricultural papers.
This is not the fault Of these papers,
for they are of course good advertis-
ing mediums for the right lines of
business; but it is due to the fact
that farmers sons have so much bet
ter opportunities at home than the
navy can offer them. Men who are
out of work or are working for only
enough to keep them in cities are the
ones who will join the naVies, and it
is needless to advertise for recruits
among people who are busy at better
paid work than naval service Farm
ers' sons are not going to the cities
in such numbers as they were Many
have realized that they have good
opportunities at home; and a good
many, too, have recently had the
benefit of a few object lessons in the
shape of busted" city men going or 4
returning to the country. The prob
lem of keeping the boys on the farms
is not nearly so acute as it used to be. |

to demonstrate that Cars hand left

Yesterday an employee of D. T. Mer

of mans hand were clearly distin-

declared the traces too blurred and
indistinct to be of service. He was in
formed, however, that impressions of
the murderer's hand upon the door of
the express car were outlined more
sharply. At his direction an order was
wired to Santa Fe officials at Fort

tect the stains carefully.

REMARKABLE CURE IN
AN INDIANA TOWN
Showing the Value Of Tonic Treat
ment in Severe Nervous Cases.
A Well Established Case of ST. Vitus Dance
Cured in Short Time by Dr. Williams
Pink Pills

Many a child has been called awk-
ward. has been punished in school for
not keeping still or for dropping things,
when the trouble was really chorea,
or st. Vitus' dance, as it is popularity
called. So common is this nervous dis
ease in childhood that in some schools
one-fifth of all the pupils have been
found suffering from it in one form or
another.
Before the presence of the disease is
betrayed there is usually disturbance
of the general health. The child shows
listlessness and inattention. Then 1t
becomes restless and twitching Of the
muscles and jerking of the limbs and
body follow.
Often the patient loses flesh and be-
comes pale and bloodless. remedy
that cures ST. Vitus' dance. and cures
it so thoroughly that no trace of the
disease remains, is DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. The cures effected in such
severe nervous disorder show the power
of these pills in strengthening weak
nerves through building up the blood,
a principle Of wide application in many
forms Of nervous trouble.
A recent cure is that Of the seven
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
James E. Packard, of Swayzee, Ind. The
facts in the case are known to every
one in that little town where the fam
lily is well known. Mrs. Packard's &C
count of her daughters suffering and
of her recovery follows:
when not quite seven years old
Nellie was taken with st. Vitus' dance
and was sick for over five months. She
had always been healthy and was
never of a nervous disposition and
am at a loss to explain the cause of
her sickness. When quite young she
had scarletina but had apparently en-
tirely recovered from it. She began to
complain during the early part Of the
winter, before her sickness, Of chills
and a numbness in her sides, but we
thought nothing of it at the time. La
ter her teacher told me that Nellie
would drop off to sleep in school and
that she did not disturb her for she
thought sleep would do her more good
than study and that we ought to take
her out of school.

Lost Control of Her Muscles.

she began to grow more nervous
and I then noticed that she staggered
in walking but thought it was habit
and tried to correct her but she did
not improve. She got worse all the
time and finally jerked all over. She
got SO she could hardly feed herself
and her hand would knock things off
the table. She didn't speak to any
one, didn't pay any nor take an in
terest in anything. She didn't seem
to have any control of her tongue. the
saliva ran out of her month and she
complained of her neck hurting her
and began to carry her head to one
side.
The Characteristic Spasms.
: Later she had spasms which lasted
FOR perhaps an hour during which her
head and eyes rolled about, she be-
came pale and looked terrible Follow
ing these spells she wouldn't notice
anything for day and would be very
nervous from two or three days to a
week. She became thin and awfully
run down and I thought she never
would get well.
What the Doctor Said.
Our doctor said her nerves were
completely run down and that she had
ST. Vitus' dance. He didn't know
whether she would recover from the
disease and if she did he was not GER
tain that her mind would be right. His
medicines failed to cure her and 7 was
discouraged. A friend in Marion then
told me about DR.. Williams Pink Pills
and bought a box as I was willing to
try anything that gave hope of a cure.
In a few days we could see a differ
ence and we gave her the pills regu-
larly until they effected cure. She
is now going to school and is as
healthy and bright a child as one
could wish to have. I cannot tell what
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have been
worth to us and 1 recommend them
highly"
OF Interest to All Nervous People.
That DR.. Williams Pink Pills have
cured obstinate cases of st. Vitus'
dance, is the best evidence that they
will cure lesser nervous disorders, be-
cause the principle in the treatment of
all nervous diseases is the same.
Nervousness is a question of nutrition.
Food for the nerves is what is needed
and the best nerve food in the world
is DR.. Williams Pink Pills because
they build up the blood and the only
way to nourish the nerves is through
the blood.
They are sold by all druggists, or
will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of
price, so cents per box; six boxes for
$3.50, by the DR.. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

a fight was in progress in the jury

The jurors stood, when the final bal

four for conviction. The noise of the
fight was even greater than in the
