recovering and is now able to take

severe case of typhoid fever, which

LaGrippe
Weakness

After a spell of La Grippe I was
so weak and exhausted l could
hardly stand. l began taking Dr.
Miles Nervine and was soon better
in every way"
MRS. F. ]. NORTON, Freevile, N. Y.
La Grippe seems to wrench every
particle of vitality from its unfortu-
nate victims. That's where the
principal danger lies; because it
leaves the system in a weakened
condition which invites more serious
diseases During convalescence
DIR. Miles Nervine
should be taken to restore nervous
energy, and overcome this weaken
ing influence which is the most
serious effect of La Grippe.

A travelling salesman who visited
Crown Point Saturday tells a good
story of an old moss back democrat
he CHANGED to meet in southern Indiana,
which goes to show how inconsistent
partisan feeling will make a man, and
to what length he will go to carry his
point The salesman says that while
making his rounds he stepped into a
store on one of the south state small
towns and CHANGED to get into a po-
litical argument, although he tried all
manner of ways to side step the dis
cussIon. Finally after things had
warmed up considerably, one of the
old moss-b backs jumped up and pulled
a wad of bills out of his pocket that
would choke an OK and yelled at the
top of his voice: Heb, you, see them
'er bills, begosh, sir, not taking any
chances on Taft's lection, no, stree.
Thought mebbe the son of gun might
win sos 1 jest went to the bank and
drew out ney money. Reckon as how
I'm not going to lose all I've got. for
didn't Bryan tell us as how the banks
would go to smash if Taft got in. And
he's jest liable to, too. The travelling
man stood the talk as long as he could
and just for a joke offered to bet $50
that Taft would be elected. The old
moss-back nearly fell over a sugar
barrel in his efforts to cover the trav-
cling mans money. when the hangers
on saw the point the travelling man was
trying to make, and they gave the old
democrat the laugh.
He had drawn most of his money out
OF the bank for fear Taft would BIZ
elected, and then turned around and
bet that Taft would not win.
