why YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irrltability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.

WOMAN TO BE SENT HOME
Of Weak Mentality, Pittsburg Woman
Showed Up in Rutland.

Rutland, Oct. 7.r,Miss Annie Taught,
weak mentally, who came to this city
Monday from Pittsburg, Pa, and was
turned over to the police because she
had no acquaintance in this city and
was not fit person to be at large, will
be sent back to Brownsville, Pa, her
home, which is near Pittsburg.
Chief of Police B. S. Hyland has re-
ceived an answer from telegram of in
quiry which he sent to Brownsville early
Tuesday. The communication is from
William Taught, brother of the wom-
an, and directs that she be sent back to
Pittsburg with instructions to call ON
one DR.. Worrell.
The reason for the woman's trip to
Rutland has been ascertained. From a
letter found in her possession, evidently
carried over two years, it is learned that
Henry Taught, her brother lived in Rut-
land at one time, boarding in 1913 on
Washington street next door TO the city
hall He left Rutland over year ago
and his present address is unknown.

Settlement of the Arabic Case.

What win give this country most sat
isfactlon in the German ambassador
letter to the secretary of state Is thu
assurance that "the recurrence of Incl
dents similar TO the Arabic case is con
sidered out of the question" The
amount of indemnity to be paid is Q
matter of no Importance; no money car
make good the loss OF American lives
and the payment is of consequence sim
ply as an act of compensation which
fixes the responsibility and sets a prece'
dent.
Until this case was disposed of nego-
tiations were at q standstill, for the
United States could make no progress in
them till some assurance for the future
could be obtained. Such an assurance
seems to be conveyed in Count Bern
storffs letter, and this is the essential
thing. With such guaranty it should
be possible to clear up one point after
another till friendly understanding is
reached. If money cannot atone for the
injury done, neither does this country
cherish revengeful feeling for the in
juries which were an incident Of the
great war and not prompted by hostility
to the United States.
As to the terms of disavowal, the gov
eminent has shown no disposition to
split hairs what it has been holding out
for is clear and definite statement of
what has apparently for some time been
agreed upon in principle, and only the
ultra suspicious viii find fault with the
terms of the German ambassadors com
To be sure, incidents sim
liar to the Arabic case" might be given a
broad or a narrow construction; as was
not long ago pointed out no two of the
cases which have made trouble have been
precisely alike. But there is not the
least reason to suspect purpose to
bubble; if the German government did
not intend to control its submarines it
would hardly meet the United States so
on test case, and there is
cause to believe that the destruction OF
the Arabic was a painful surprise tol
Count Bernstorff as well as to our own
government.
III his powers are plenary, as has been
explicitly stated, there should be little
lelay now in closing up the incident in |
manner satisfactory to us and credit |
lble to both governments. Why there
'hould have been so much trouble and
lelay over the terms may be guessed,
,ut need not be dwelt upon; that with
% little public agitation satisfactory
esult has been reached shows that there

THREW AN EXPLOSIVE.
Earl chickering of West Moreland, N.
H., Badly Injured.

h'S oauiy lhJuieu.
Westmoreland, N. H., Oct. 7.--Earl
Chickering, IL SON OF Mr.. and Mrs. Ar
thur s. Chickering OF this town, was
burned seriously Tuesday afternoon by
the explosion of some unknown sub
stance, supposed to be dynamite. His
burns are confined largely to his face,
neck, hands and arms, and large patches
Of skin have fallen from his face His
eyes, although somewhat burned, are not
so badly injured but that he can see.
The family live not far from the river,
opposite Putney village. The young man
went to the unoccupied buildings owned
by Mr.. Chickering, a short distance from
the family home, to clean out the silo
before putting in new ensilage. He went
into little shop building and noticed
a lump of black substance about the
size of an ordinary ink bottle and about
the color of lampblack. The substance
was soft, but the young man had no idea
what it was and tossed it upon shelf
in a cupboard. When it struck the shelf
it Immediately exploded
The young man was able to walk to
his home, and DR.. L. H. Bugbee of Put
ney was summoned to dress the injur-
les.
1t is thought that the lump was dyna-
mite which had become discolored by
contact with some other substance. How
t came to be there is a mystery.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
"The Birth of Nation" to Be Given at
New Park Theatre.

"The Birth of Nation" is the most
remarkable attraction of recent years in
American stage annals. 1t uses $4,000
people to tell it's story and 5000 horses
add their quota to its bigness. The epic
links history and romance in way new
er attempted before. Its basic scenes
are founded in some of the most stirring
events in the nations development and
these are contracted with human appeals
and family interests which are after all
the essentials of true drama. Great bat
tiles of the Civil war are fought before
your eyes. Lee surrenders to Grant at
Appomattox. Lincoln is assassinated as
actually as the scene took place so years
ago in Ford's theatre, Washington. The
South before and after the war is pic
tured in its most interesting phases.
Wild rides of the Klansmen lend dash
and spirit to the performances. All re-
mains exactly as it was given originally
in New York City and Boston when this
marvellous picture astounded all and
created more comment than all the plays
that have been seen in a decade.
1t is a picture in time, one that
will in all probability never be duplicat
ed, and for that reason should be viewed
by every man, woman and child in this
city. Once seen it is never to be for
gotten and since the Park theatre will
be crowded daily during its
of this remarkable spectacle,
which commences Oct. IL for a period of
six days, it would be wise for all to en-
gage seats at the earliest possible mo
nent.
There will be two performances daily, |
,he matinees starting promptly at 2;l5
,'clocl, while the evening sessions will
tart at o'clock. The patrons are re-
Iuested to reach the theatre in plenty of
eason to be seated before the opening
II the mighty production.

Rutland Girl Won 500 Prize.

received word that she is the winner OF
a prize of 500 offered by the Boston
American to the person finding the larg-
est number of small faces in a large
drawing of face which appeared in the
Boston paper some time ago. The word
came at most appropriate time as
Miss Gibson to-day celebrated her Is
birthday.
The award was great surprise to
the Rutland young woman as she made
no particular effort TO work out the
puzzle, her father and herself devoting
a little time TO il in order to pass the
