Tired nerves, with that mo ambi

spring or early summer, can be easily
and quickly altered by taking what Il
known to druggists everywhere as DR..
Shops Restorative. One win abse-
lutly note a changed feeling within As
hours after beginning to take the re-
storative. The bowels get sluggish
in the winter-time, the circulation Of

cases grows decidedly weaker. DR..
Shops Restorative is recognized
everywhere Is a genuine tonic to these
vital organs. It builds up and sire

nerves; 1t sharpenes the failing appe-
lite, and universally aids digestion.
1t always quickly brings renewed st.
rength, life, .vigor, and ambition.

Wedding Tour to Write.
Thad Hoffman found time on BIZ
wedding trip to write this lettel
home. dating it London, May 9:
We are in London and having a fin'
time. We arrived at Plymouth about
1880 Monday.
When we were down on the bay
that took us to shore number Of
boat friends noticed our trunks come
out and they still had the hearts and
mottos that Ralph put on them.
They asked II they were ours and
when / nodded yes, one Of them
hurried to the kitchen aud got some
rice. When we started of we were
showered with rice again.
When we were leaving the Kaiser
w. II, we felt kind q bad. Seemed. as
though we were leaving lot Of
friends.
A special train took us here and we
reached the hotel about $3.50. The
cars and engines are such funny little
things but the trains make good time.
And 0, the country ! had no idea
the country was so beautiful-the
most beautiful country ! have ever
seen. Every little spot that could be
made beautiful is parked and fenced.
The country roads are all macadam
and very, very narrow. Could not
pass on some Of them.
Along all the roads are beautiful
fences OF shrubs or stone walls. The
fields are especially beautiful now.
The railroad tracks are all kept in
fine shape and the right Of way lie as
fine rs our lawns.
We like London very much. 1t is
q grand old city. Yesterday, we just
rode around to get an idea Of things.
Today we have been to the Flower
Market, Pickidilly-the shopping dis
trict, St. James Park, Buckingham
Palace, and the National Art Gallery.
We saw, Of course, lots Of beautiful
pictures by all Of the great artists.
Tomorrow think we will 20 to the
Tower and Parliament. We leave
here about Sunday or Monday for
Scotland.
My opinion Of England and the
English people, is very much higher. |
1t is very interesting to hear them
talk and they are almost painfully
polite and courteous.

FOR A ROAD CONTEST.


IerIug trAxebs
Several ca. tern cities have adopted
q plan that might well be adopted b.
the citizens Of Abilene In the way o
improving the roads in the country
The merchants Of these places united
and offered generous prizes to theil
customers who came to town on tht
now famous King Split log road
graders. The men who covered the
longest distances we're entitled to the
largest prizes.
why should not this plan be good
for Abilene" said businessman yes
terday.' 1.-The investment Of few
dollars BY the merchants in such q
novel competition would interest the
community for miles about the city
and would undoubtedly result in
great Improvement in the highways.
While the rains are falling as they
have been for some time it would be
a fine time to improve the roads with
the split log drag II a little in
ducement was held out to farmers for
coming to town with this kind Of drag
they might use it very often and there
could be no cheaper method devised
"a man and one team Of horses will
put long stretch Of road in condi-
ton in short time provided 1t is
done Just after rain. Some OF the
that enter Abilene are in
fact only bitches that collect water
instead Of shedding it. A good earth
road can only be maintained by the
center being SO GREETED that it will
shed water as readily as roof. The
split log drag when properly adjusted
will bring all the loosesearth into the
ruts in the center Of the road bed
easily.
'.Many farmers take pride in keep
ing the roads in their vicinity in good
condition and it is an index to enter
prise in community. The giving Of
prizes by the merchants might be as
cheap methed Of improving high-
ways as any yet devised and trial Of
it might pay the people Of Abilene

OTENOUGH DREDGE
INSPECTORS READY
Another Examinations May
Be Held In Near
Future

Before the Pearl Harbor work Is
well under way, another examination
for dredging inspectors will have to
be held at the Naval Station or other
arrangements will have to be made.
There were but fifteen applicants in
all who appeared to take the exami-
ration Wednesday afternoon last and,
though the results of the examina-
ton have not been made public, It is
generally understood that several of
them failed to pass.
There will be from twelve to If
teen inspectors needed by the time
the work is going on full swing, and
either another examination will be
held, or inspectors will be brought
over from the mainland. Which
course the authorities will take, they
have not announced.
The requirements for dredge in
spectors are very severe, and the ex-
aminations are stiff. Not only must
man have had practical experience
In order to pass, but he must have a
broad, general education. The remu-
neration is not sufficient to cause ap-
plicants to flock to the examinations
In great numbers.
For such work the Army pays 500
a month. The naval scale OF pay is
hut $500 day, however, SO men
who already have good employment
are not anxious to work for the Gov
ernment' especially as quite a bit of
study is needed before the average
man can hope to pass the examina-
ton.
