THE SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MEANS DEATH

How many readers have heard of this
terrible disease? 1t prevails In that
fGf-away country--Africa-- especially
the Congo district II is caused By
the bite OF the tsetse fly. When it
bites a person, the sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful,
balmy sleep OF health. Is there any
thing more wearing than to lie awake
at night, tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet, hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short OF letting the tsetse
fly bite US we would do almost any
thing for relief. How can we pre-
vent It? Mr.. George Hayes, OF
Union City, Pa. writes: II had lost
my appetite, was all rundown, could
not sleep nights. | had tried every
thing without relief. vinoi was rec
ommended. and TO my surprise, It
helped me at once; gave me splendid
appetite, and now | sleep sound,w"
What vinoI did for Mr.. Hayes, It win
do for every rundown. nervous and
overworked person who cannot sleep.

Shields went there and paid him in
currency S7S for the printing OF the
appeal in her husbands case. Pay
ing this bill was a simple matter. Or
dinarily such payments are made by
a lawyers clerk. But by making the
payment herself Mrs Morse saved the
fee which a lawyer would have charg.
ed for rendering such a service.
That Mr. and Mrs. Morse should be
devlsing means 10 spare themselves
the expense OF few dollars will prob
ably surprise their friends who knew
them in their days II limitless prodi-
gality. Up to the fall OF 1907, when
Morse figured his wealth at S220Oe,-

a result of his giant speculations. an
expenditure OF $4,000, $4,000 or $780,.
600 Tor anything that pleased his or
his wife's fancy never counted with
him any more than the outlay OF So
$40 or sl5 by an ordinary man.
Notwithstanding the economies
which the Morses are now practicing
Morse is not poor man by any
means but everything OF great value
which he possesses is tied up as col
ateral for loans. These securities are
of a character which cannot be mar.
