A SHARP
WARNING
Nervous Exhaustion Is Notice to
Relieve the Strain and Build
Up the Starved Nerves.

Nervous exhaustion, or breakdown OF
the nerves, is more often blessing
than anything else. The nerves have
rebelled and you should be thankful it
is no worse than it is. Let it serve as a
sharp warning to relieve the strain and
to take a treatment that will build up
your nerves.
Dir. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie are a real nerve tonic. They sup
ply plenty OF nourishing red blood TO
the exhausted nerves and do not excite
and urge them on to do work which
they have already shown they can
not do. Medicines which whip on the
tired nerves do more harm than no
medicine at all. DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People not only start in
Immediately to give relief but continue
to strengthen the nerves until they are
able to do their work once more.
Mrs. II. G. Williams, of No. 112
North Franklin street, Saginaw, Mich,
says: nervousness in my case was
doubtless due to worry and overwork.
ImerelY felt tired out, weak, restless
and nervous. Nervous spells came on
me whenever | had any extra strain.
There were no additional symptoms in
my case but as | was conducting my
store all alone and there was consider
able detail connected with it, it is not
TO be wondered at that | was nervous.
An old lady friend, who had used DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
with good results in her family, told me
to try them for nervousness. | did so.
NY nerves became steadier and | was
cured. can recommend DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People as splendid
nerve tonic. l have used them for
years whenever run down and found
they gave me immediate relief
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People are guaranteed to be free from
any harmful or habit-forming drugs.
They have given the most gratifying
results in nervous headaches, neuralgia,
nervous dyspepsia, st. Vitus' dance,
and even in partial paralysis and loco
motor ataxia For full statement of
this treatment write for the free booklet,
"Diseases of the Nervous System"

Sani2ing. He will advise about school
and hcme gardens and will help plan
an exhibition of results. The teacher of
tho school will be glad to be a learner
with the members while she leads in
making plans for the work. The local
Grange will probably cooperate by
giving place on its program to a dis
cussion of plans: it will usually assist
by providing a place for holding an
exhibition. The State lecturer Of the
Grange. B. Walker MeKeen. Fryeburg,
will advise freely any clubs in their
work.
1.-The instructors in agriculture of
the High schools and academies will
respond BY letter and, when possible
in person for the purpose of giving
instruction or assistance. Such in
struetor may be addressed at: Show
hogan High school. Wells High school,
East Maine Conference Seminary,
Bucksport, Fryeburg Academy, Lea
Witt Institute. Turner Center, Maine
Wesleyan Seminary, kents Hill. Par
sonsfeld Seminary. Madawaslla Train
ing school, Fort Kent. The College of
Agriculture Of the University of Maine
will answer any inquiries sent there.
The United States department of ag-
ricuture will send, free of cost Nalu-
able pamphlets that will instruct the
members on any phase of work that
they may undertake.
Not all clubs will do the same
things Some will have corn growing
contests. Others Will be interested in
potato culture. Some will leave to
each member his own choice. Some will
work through home and others through
school gardens. All will take up a
study Of things relative to agriculture.
The girls will make a study of things
relative TO home making.
"A school or a town or a group of
towns through their clubs will hold
exhibitions to show what they are do
ing They will display the fruit and
vegetables they have grown, the bread,
cake and sewing that they have per
fected. Certificates should be award
ed to all who do well. Individual
prizes of money are not best. The
work well done will bring adequate
returns. Awards to a club collective
" will supplement the individual GER
tificate and promote good team work
and community interest. Each club
will formulate it's own plans and rules.
When several clubs or groups of
towns form in contests a committee
appointed for the purpose will make
the rules.
The School Improvement League of
Maine is an organization whose spe-
cial aim is the betterment of the eoun-
try school. The agricultural club is
directly related to the work and plans
of the League. If a school already has
Il League the agricultural contests
may be carried on as an adjunct. 1t
would be better to do this than to in
crease the number of organizations If
a school has no League the club work
may be undertaken independently or,
better still. a league may be formed
and The club work included as a part
OF it's purpose.
