HAVE YOU REURASTHENIl2

Neurastheria is condition of exhaus-
ton of the nervous system. The causes
nre varied. Continuous work, mental or
physical, without proper vacation periods,
without proper attentich to diet and ex-
ercise, also worry over the struggles for
success, are the most common causes.
Excesses Of almost any kind may pro-
duce it. Some diseases, like the grip,
will cause neurasthenia. So also will
severe shock, intense anxiety or grief.
The symptoms are ovcr-sensitiveness,
irritability, disposition to worry over
trides, headache, possibly nausea.
The treatment is one of nutrition of the
nerve cells, requiring a non-alcoholic
tonic, As the nerves get their nourish-
ment from the blood the treatment must
be directed toward building up the blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills act directly on
the blood and with proper regulation of
the diet have proved OF the greatest bene-
fit in many cases of ncurasthenia A
tendency to anamia, or bloodlessness,
shown by most neurasthenic patients, is
also corrected by these tonic pills. Your

BUSINESS DEPRESSION
Six Thousand Men go Back to Work

GARY, Ind, Nov. 1G.-Six thousand

idleness Of several weeks. A general
improvement Of business in the steel
industry, officials of the big corpora
ton said, was responsible for the re-
sumption "The bottom has dropped

United States" said an official of the
steel company From now on we
expect an upward trend in the bust
ness thermometer all over the nation
The men who went back to work to-
day were set at work in the steel
mills, the tin-plate mills and the plant
Of the American Bridge company, in
dicating general Improvement. Small
steel products for agricultural i'm
plement factories, steel and iron
plates for ore steamers and many
small jobs from the Pittsburgh mills
eastern mills are turning out armor
plate for the allies. Parts for auto
mobiles also will be turned out at the
plants which are now running at from
sixty to seventy per cent of the normal
capacity.
THE railroads have not yet begun
placing orders because OF their finan-
cial difficulties, but they must soon
begin buying rails" said the steel
company official. Buying will be in
large quantities because many of the
roads have neglected to purchase at
all during the period CT depression
When the railroad orders begin to
come in, prosperity can be said to
