Sleep

Sleep is natures re-
building period, when the
energy used by the brain,
muscles and organs is re-
newed. If you lose sleep,
your system is robbed of
the strength sleep should

sleep multiplies this loss
until you become a phys
ical wreck. DR.. Miles

tated nerves and brings
refreshing, invigorating
sleep. Nervine contains
no Opiates, and therefor
leaves no bad after-effects.

Richmond.-Old Ford's Hotel. one
of the historic places in the city. is
in danger of collapse. There is good
reason to believe that the old struc-

Ford estate. Some of the heirs at
law are now trying to force a sale
of the estate. The main portion OF
the building was constructed about
100 years ago. 1t was used as a
tavern in 1912, being known at that
time as the Powhatan Tavern Ad-

ing nine times and in recent years
temporary repairs were necessary at
frequent intervals in order to hold
the old building together. 1t has
now reached a stage where il is re-
