REST CURE FOR THE NERVES
That Is the Best Remedy Yet DIscov-
cred, Though Carrots Also Are
Prescribed.

A case OF nerves" is Hike a bad
habit-easily acquired and hard to get
rid of. Nervousness affects the d.
gestion, dulls the eyes, gives a
strained look to the muscles of the
face, and, if allowed It's course, will
even make the hair thin. So the wom-
an who wants to be beautiful must
keep an eye upon the state of her
nerves.
The best cure for is
rest. And resting is an art known to
few women. Man finds inducement to
repose in his pipe and his trousers
pockets. Womankind, having neither
the narcotic influence of the pipe nor
the trousers pockets to imprison her
ervou fingers, is eve active. The
only way she may get repose and re-
lax the body and nerves is by actual
will power.
Carrots are prescribed by physi-
clans and beauty doctors alike as a
cure for nervous indigestion. You are
told to eat them three times a day.

or s%callions, are excellent, eaten with
plenty of salt; also lettuce with salt
and plenty of olive oil, but no vine
gar or red pepper.
Sl%eeplessness is the greatest men

have for beauty and health. Sleep

long draughts of cool water and a cold

SOUTH SEA TRAMPS' WHARF
Strange Sights That May Be Seen

to become the most picturesque wharf
in the country. He intended it to ac-
~commodate his W line of steamers.
but in later years he settled in Peru

gan to take on 9 peculiar character.
It is nearer to the Golden Gate than
any other pier in San Francisco har-
Dor. and the South Sea tramps found
It convenient to dock there. Their
patronage became so important that
In time it was entirely given over to
them and to the other rovers of the
sea that drift into San Francisco from
the ports of all the world.
And so 1t is that you can go down
to Meigg's Wharf any afternoon,

short while under the lee of Tele-

"Meigg's Wharf also has the repu-
tation Of being the starting point for
f~libustering expeditions to the Latin

Language was looked upon as a ga

the body as the head or limbs. For
this reason an Indian never spoke
the language of another nation except
In the capacity of interpreter. When
a council was held between tribes. the
orator conducted the debates In their
own language. and the words were
translated, when necessary, as they
fell from the lips of the speaker, by
those who had been trained for that
D 1t was considered the great
est possible affront to their ancestors
and to the Great Spirit for the Iro-
quois to speak any language other
than their own. Deaf mutes among
them were pointed out as people who
we're not satisfied with the language
of their fathers and in consequence
had lost the power to speak or hear.

Senator Bristow may have thought he a right as indeed he may
have been, in tying up the Borah direct vote for senator resolution
with an amendment putting the elections under the control of congress.
But after it had passed both the House and the Senate IS originally

does not appear o be the hehgt of wisdom to jeopardse it for an
amendment that at best is of only az sionable value.

1t pays to be a government prosecutor. Two of the head inquistors
who have operated in Idaho, have been allowed bills running close to
$4,000 each, and the principle net result has been the stack of receipt

enough leeway; mayb the men are not guilty; maybe they are to- *

From the general hostility that has been manifested toward the new
highway district law it looks as if the people didn't want it. Every
farmer whose COW oil horse vr pricked up its ears in fright at a
scooting automobile; every pedestrian who ever did or did not escape
from a wreck in which he vas the victim with a mneaminute buzz
wagon as the victor, every ambitious person who would have a whoop-
ing big red ar if he could afford it, but objects to them Is class leg
isaion if he can't raise the price; and a lot of men to whom the tax
collector is a deadly and unmxed a peril as the small pox or plague,
all these voted against the law VIII erever it was souht to establish a
district. No doubt there were others also no opposed it, So far al
reorted. the districts have been very generally defeated. 1t is not
true that the bill was drawn up especially for automobiists; the farmer
who hauls his produce to market yer miles of poor road, would gain
0 pleasure, more rest, more money and longer life therehom than
the crazest scorcher that ever burned up the miles in a devn-wagon.
But prejudice that only educaton-and the growth of the automobile
business until most farmers drive their own cars--can remove, marks
the downfall of the highway law as it is. Only when the real value of
good roads is really proven, and the fool racer is taken off of the pub
lie streets and roads. will the highway district be a success.

ment In his characteristic happy style
which lis always successful In COM
manding the attention OF those who
are listening-he always has some
thing to say and knows how to APP
ply 1t. Exhaustively he explained his
views as to the meaning Of a practi-
cal education and what the latter real
ly was-what was one persons pracd-
cal education was not another ones,
the fort Of the individual had TO be
taken into consideration
Mr.. Perley very strongly endorsed
and approved of the action Of the state
normal board In its adding TO the cur
riculum Of the normal schools OF the
state advanced courses which have
been arranged. He spoke forcefully
In favor of education for culture as
well as for practical pursuits and with
emphasis extolled character building
through the medium Of careful studies
of history and literature. His re-
marks bristled with valuable sugges-
tions and there was liberal supply
of food for thought for the young peo-
pie who were the auditors.

given under the direction of Professor

was the recent trouble OF Special Rail-

came involved with the manager OF

Friday evening. Moody was accustowns

he wore but during fair week. on ac-
count OF the large crowds, Ii was de-.
creed by the manager that no one
without q dance ticket should be allow
ed to enter. and q special police was
stationed at the door to prevent such
occurrence. On the night la question
Moody was determined to enter the
hall on the merits OF hig star.
The docrkeeper objected. but Moody
went ia anyway. ana after he was In
stated that there was not policeman
In town able to eject him. Mr.. Ward.

before he entered the DIR. Tronnes

he was captured by Sheriff Glaun.
Mason lis about SO years old. Swan
son shot him through the hand and
his arm up to the elbow will have to
be amputated. I don't think he could
take anything from these cottages, for
there was nothing valuable left tn them
for him to steal But he would stay
there and eat UP the groceries that
hay have been left. He came from the

might be ready for such a thing UP
here but not vet awhile"
They took q wrong method in go
ing about this thing In my opinion"
said Fred Irish, cashier Of the First
National bank, to a Forum represen-
tative this morning. "The thing that
should have been done was to have
let the proposition come up as an issue
In Canada first and then after it had
passed there 1t would have been time
enough to bulldoEe 1t through congress
as it was done. Then President Taft
would have had something to crow
about and not had all his tail feathers
pulled out. as Is the case"
II think they tackled the reciproc-
ity proposition the wrong way at
Washington" said President Hardy OF
the Fargo commercial club this morn
ing. IF they ever had any hopes of
passing IL on both sides OF the line,
they should have let 1t come up Ia
Canada first. The annexation talk
scared those people up there, and they
have a little idea OF their own liberty
yet"
Many others were seen this morn
ing and expressed themselves similarly
and feel that 1t Is blessing to the
North Dakota farmers that the con-
servatives won In the dominion above
