In the course of trial in an Illi- noiS court juror evinced a marked desire to be excused from further service. The court asked him if there was any reason why he could not proceed with the trial. He re- piled, q would rather be home with my wife" It appeared after re- peated questions that the mans wife was not ill, but that she objected to ais serving on the jury and demand ed that he be excused. The juror was anxious to please his wife, and manifested some agitation, because he said he was afraid that if he did not go home she would deprive him of her presence. The trial judge re- fused to recognize the gravity of the situation. The Illinois Supreme Court sustained the trial court, holding that the mere fact that mans wife becomes angry because sine does not believe that ner husband has tried to be excused does not warrant his re- lease from jury duty.-[New York Tribune.

If your Stomach, Heart or Kidneys
are week, try at least, a few doses
only of DR.. Shoop's Restorative. In
five Or ten days only, the result will
surprise you. A few cents will cover
the cost. And here is why help comes
so quickly. DR.. Shoop doesn't drug
the Stomoch, nor stimulate the Heart
or Kidneys. DR.. Shoop's Restorative
goes directly to the weak and failing
nerves. Each organ has its own con.
trolling nerve. When these nerves
fail, the depending organs must of
necessity falter. This plain, yet vital
truth, clearly tells why DR.. Shoop's
Restorative is SO universally success
fully. It's success is leading druggists
everywhere to give it universal pre-.
ference. A test will surely tell. Sold
