Much sickness is Of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lunes
take in oxygen, the stomach d.
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the, blood.
If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. It
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take DR.. Miles Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac-
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return

The English fondness for ale may
possibly be traced to Queen Elizabeth,
who is reputed to have drunk q quart
every day with her breakfast. Within
fifty years Of her death the practice
of ale drinking appears to have be-
come practically universal in this
country. In "The Virgins Complaint
for the Loss of Their Sweet Hearts

1922 there is reference to "the lusty

Northampton, Mass, April 12.-Rev.
DR.. Marion Leroy Burton today resigns
the pastorate OF the Church of the
Pilgrims, Brooklyn, N. Y, to accept
the presidency of Smith College, ac-
cording to a telephone announcement

cARLlN ELEcTROcUTED
At Ossining, N. ", After Bungle by
the Prison Officials. ..s

Ossining, N. Y, April 12.-Bernard
Carlin, aged %, was put to death by
electrocution in the Sing Sing prison
at s A. M. today for the murder of his
mother Susan Carlin, in her home in
Brooklyn, one year ago. One shock OF
the current, consisting of 1910 volts
only, was applied.
A slight delay in applying the cur
rent was caused by the accidental dis
connection of one of the wires with an
electrode. After Carlin had been
strapped to the chair, the signal to
turn on the current was given, but the
usual muscular response on the part
of the condemned man which indicates
the effect of the current was absent.
A hasty examination disclosed that
one Of the wires connecting with an
electrode had fallen to the floor and
therefore no circuit had been estab-
lished. After a delay of nearly a min
ute the wire was readjusted, the cur
rent was turned on and one minute
later Carlin was pronounced dead.
Carlin was accompanied to the death
chamber by the Rev. Father Mahoney
of ST. Augustine's Roman Catholic
church, and repeated the prayer for
the dying after the priest.
Carlin had been an inmate of chart
table or reformatory institutions a
greater part Of his life, beginning in
infancy, when his father died. He
blamed his mother for permitting him
to remain in those institutions and
when he was released from the re-
formatory year ago Immediately
purchased a revolver, went direct to
his mothers home and killed her.
