BANKRUPT NERVES

Each of us has certain supply of ner.
vous energy. Every act. even. every
thought, uses up some part OF this en-
ergy. During rest and sleep the supply
is Increased by the blood which gets the
needed elements from the air we breathe
and the food we eat.
Your nervous energy is like bank &C.
count. II you use it up faster than you
add to it you overdraw your account.
Neurasthenia is the name given to ner-
vous bankruptcy. It means that the
power to recuperate is gone.
The blood can be built up so that 1t
will increase the supply of needed ele-
mentJ to the wasted nerves and this is
the only way that the nerves can be
reached. DR.. Williams Pink Pills are q
tonic that especially builds up the nerves
because they supply to the blood the ele-
ments that the nerves need. Many ner-
vous disorders, sometimes chronic ones,
have yielded to this tonic treatment with
DIR. williams Pink Pills when other
methods failed to give relief. They are
certainly worthy of trial in every case OF
weak nerves and thin blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
druggists everywhere or will be sent by

OUT TO GATHER NUTS AGAIN.
We're out to gather nuts again. to
laugh and sing and play
With winds that hint Of fragrant tires
a-burning far away
We're going far beyond the hills
far, far away from town.
Where through the gold and rudy
leaves the sunlight f1ckers
down.
We're out to gather nuts again, nor
pause to wonder why
There lives world that half forgets
the air, the sun. the sky:
On such a world we'll waste no time,
for there beyond the hills,
October counts her golden hoard and
half her treasure spills.
We're out to gather nuts again-to
drink the crisp, new air
To know ourselves a part OF all the
earth our hearts can share
o hazy month of drifting leaves, We
hear your voice-and then
No rest is ours until we go to gather
nuts again.

The wage Of regular farmhands en-
gagged In the beet fields is 40 cents a
day for men and "a cents day for
women. The workers are allowei
housing accommodations and receive
certain amount of food at reduced
prices. They labor from 6 o'clock in
the morning to 6 or at night, with
two hours Off for meals during the
day Extra workers employed at har-
vest time receive about cents day
more than this, but are required to
house and feed themselves.
AS compared with the "a cents to
30 cents a day paid to Austrian work
