Men and women alike have to work

hold their own nowadays. Never were
the demands of business, the wants OF

Of the praiseworthy effort to keep w
with all these things is commonly seen
in a weakened or debiltated condition
of the nervous system, which results in
dyspepsia, defective nutrition Of both
body and brain. and in extreme cases
in complete nervous prostration. 1t is
clearly seen that what is needed is
what will sustain the system, give
vigor and tone to the nerves, and keep
the digestive and assimilative func-
tions healthy and active. From per-
sonal knowledge, we can recommend

prof. Eliot Says Pres. Lincoln's Ap-
-~"+s Were Shocking.

Boston, April In deploring the fact
that the civil service did not extend back
10 war times, President Emeritus Charles
w Eliot declared today that the appoint-
mehts to Office by President Lincoln in
1851 Were shocking and that his secretary
or war. Simon Cameron of PENNSYLVANIA,
was SO corrupt and incompetent that he
lost his office at the end of three months
President Eliots remarks came at the
end Of an address on civil service reform
before Federation of Women's Clubs
and In answer TO questions from the
floor
After replying in the negative to the
question whether politics were as corrupt
now as in 1861, DIR. Eliot said:
In talking of 1861 We must remember
mat these shocking appointments were
made by Lincoln for purely political rea-
sons. ] can't think of anything so shock
ing done by recent Presidents. The men
that Lincoln put in Office were so incom-
petent that they lasted only few
months. At that time the moral sense OF
the community had not been aroused and
1t was the custom at that time to make
appointments for political purposes"

the first game of the year when the
clubs second team will meet Harvard
University next Tuesday afternoon at
the Huntington avenue grounds, Tho

cal National team. Yesterdays bright
sunshine dried out the mud caused by
the recent snowstorm and brought out
bright green on the grass section
of the diamond. The field is being roll
ed daily and will present a solid sur
face for the first game next Tuesday.

remain at the home grounds for prac-
tice until the return of the first string
