Woman Finally Recover
From Nervous Breakdown

Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be-
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge of
complete nervous breakdown. It
is of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system in good con-
dition, as the nerves are the source
Of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna
Kounz, I'll Mechanic ST., Pueblo,
Colo, says:
For many years l suffered from
nervous prostraton; l was unable
to do any house work and doctors
failed to help me. Remedies l
tried from druggists did pot do

told my husband about

and he procured a bottle. After the
first few doses I showed a marked
improvement and after taking two
bottles / was entirely cured. l have

eyhilaratiug. Rest and quiet from the DISTURBING
Influences of the great center were found IN thc
luyurious villas which were situated III ahu
around Herculaneum. There seems to nave peeh
no industry in the town except fishing, ana the
character of the ruins suggests that, like such a
PROSPEROUS suburban retreat of today, the settle
ment reioiced in ali that wealth ana care coulo
afford Of beauty and convenience.
Agrippina the elder, according to Seneca, was
the owner Of one Of the most gorgeous OF the
villas in Herculareum, which, it is believed, was
DESTROYED by the Emperor Caligula because his
mother had once been imprisoned therein. An
other splendid villa was the Casa del Paplrl, me
Nonii of Nuceria were also among the aristocrats
Of the time who had villas in the charming little
town.
According to Professor Hughes, "Herculaneum
is buried not under lava, rarely under natural
cement, lat generally under locally consolidated
tuff (tuff is the word most commonly used When
the ash is so far consolidated as to break into
Iumps). Seeing that We have reason to believe
that at least as much ash has fallen since the
first century A. D. as fell in 79 A. d., the first
thing to do is to endeavor to distinguish between
the successive e%ruptions. If we could find at the
bottom of a layer of ash just enough pottery or
other relics to enable US to identify them as be-
longing to the seventeenth century or earlier,
that line should be traced with the greatest care
In this way we might feel our way back into the
remote past and perhaps somewhere make out
upon satisfactory, evidence how deep some part
of Herculaneum was buried in the eruption OF
10 a. D."

SMALL STORES BOOMING.

much now, since our baby came.

out of business, but which do not seem to have
gone. And what has the baby to do with all
this? III tell you.
The mother with a young child, whether She
is with or without servants, sticks pretty close
to home, the better to look after the baby's well
fare. For her minor shopping, anyway. she
doesn't go far. She finds that in her ncighbor-
hood there are many little shops where they sell
many things, and If she finds these places to bn
nice little shops. where they keep nice things, sa-
lected with taste and Judgment, she keeps on
buying there steadily.
There are thousands of such shoppers sea-
tered everywhere about the city, making business
for the neighborhood shopkeeper. The great
stores do a great business, whose vast volume an
nually increases, but there appears still to be
room for the little storekeeper, too, If he will
make his store and his goods attractive, and do
business in a really businesslike way"

reasons for this belief IN
