Nervous Debility

or, IN extreme cases, nervous prostration.
The treatment consists largely in rest,
recreation and the use of a tonic, the
discontinuance of any practice that may
have caused it and abstinence from tea,
coffee or other sti1nulants. AS the nerves
receive their nourishment through the
blood the latter must be built up and
made rich and pure. Especially If there
is loss OF weight and pallor indicating
q weakness of the blood, DR.. Williams
FINK Pills are the tonic best adapted to
effect cure. They have been used
by the most eminent physicians for
the treatment of neurasthenia with
most excellent results. The late DR..
Lapponi, who was physician to two
popes, recommended them highly for
neurasthenia and for similar disorders

Laxative for

There is great difference IN the
purposes to which laxative should
be put. Tablets and pills, salts, ETC.,
are usually violent purgatives or
cathartics, and altogether too power
full for the average person.
A woman at all times needs only
mild laxative-in fact, none other Is
needed by anyone, weak or strong though
move the bowels, and If gentle laxative
will do it, what is the use OF a violent
one?
a well-deserved vogue among women and
children and old folks-people who must
necessarily be careful OF what they take.

mittedly the greatest stomach, liver and

Five members of the junior class ar

ON hosting the class colors high in

triumphantly enjoying the spectacle
the next morning.
Upon their arrival at the school two
scouts were placed on the outside of
the building to signal the approach of
any enemies, while the other three
with the bunting, lacks, hammer and
other supplies made their way eau
tiously through a previous,y arranged
entrance and stole to le attic. Up
the ladder to the roof of the building
the three juniors made their way and
soon were at work lacking the class
colors and an American flag to the
high flag staff.

.lev made their way into the as.

through the upper hall that Principal
Reid heard them. The assembly room
was dark and the three juniors re-
manned in hiding there for few
minutes.
1t was not long before the principal
arrived in the assembly room in his
tour of the hiding place and to
further his search turned on the cleo
trio lights.
The three crouching juniors saw
that they were not safe from the
scrutiny of the one who was "it' in
