Are You Sick?

Much sickness is due to a weak nervous system. Yours may be. If it is, you cannot get well until you restore nerve strength Your nervous system is nature s power house; the organs of your body get their power from it. If the power is not there, the action of the organs is weak, and disease (sick- ness) follows. Dr. Miles Nervine cures the sick because it soothes the irritated and tired nerves and gives the system a chance to recuperate. Try it, and see if you do not quickly feel it's bene- ficial effect.
 'T was given up to die by a lead ing doctor. Got one of Dr. Miles books and found that Dr. Miles Ner- vine fit my case. From the very first dose I took I got better. I am better now than I have been for years, and do all my own work on the farm. That's what Dr. Miles Nervine has done for me, and I am glad to recom- mend it to others

Big Kelly

Alfred Henry Lewis reports conversation, in substance and almost in phrase, that passed between a Tammany district leader, celebrated in his own circle for philosophic depth, and certain of his fol- lowers.
 It relates to the tactics of the nti-Roosevelt forces and their lack of good strategy.
 Here are some extracts:
 "Say, if you've got a ship to launch you don't sand tn ways; you slush 'em down with soft soap. An that goes when it's a case of gettin' rid of a man."
 Diplomacy is any move that lands tn trick see?"
 "Also, it's exactly what them Wall Streeters ain'tgot." .Diplomacy does it; diplo- macy, an payin' strict atten- ton to Teddy's blind side." "What's tn use of kickin' in , the gate, when you know where A board is off tn fence?"
