EXCELLENT FOR TIRED NERVES.
Vigorous Rubbing of Body After Bath
Recommended.

There is no greater sedative to the
nerves than to indulge in vigorous rub

If one will rub oneself, either with the
hand, with Turkish towel, or with
long strips Of flannel.
The best time to do the rubbing is
directly after the bath. Any part of
the body that cannot be reached by the
hand should be rubbed vigorously by
the towel or flannel held at arms
length very taut.
One woman whose nerves had gone
back on her badly cured herself in a
short time by. taking each night a
warm bath, followed by cold rinse
and vigorous rubbing of herself with
a rubber flesh brush and crash towel.
She followed her exercising with a
glass Of hot milk.

hat, coat and boots, was completely
smothered by the enraged insects. For
ten minutes he remained thus unable
to help himself, until some friends
saw his plight and by means of ropes
hoisted up to him bag.
With this the unhappy victim beat
some of the insects off, and then, wrap
ping it around his head, slid down the
rope to the ground, where he tainted.

by vigorously rubbing whisky into his
skin, succeeded in drawing most of

is liable for the bonds issued by the
state board of agriculture. The ques-

doubt as to the legality of the board,
but Mr.. Ellis holds that it is just as
much entitled TO consideration at the
hands of the state as any of the three
universities, or the state hospitals. for
that matter. There was some uneasi-
ness since a suit has been filed in the
common pleas court of this county to
oust the board. The attorney general
says that so far as that suit is con-

able to convince the court that there
