WHAT NEURASTHENIA Is

Neurasthenia is condition Of exhaus- tlon of the nervous system. The causes are varied. Continuous work, mental or physical, without proper vacation periods, without proper attention to diet and eX- erClse, also worry over the struggle for success, are the most common causes. Excesses of almost any kind may pro- duce it. Some diseases, like the grip, will cause ncurasthcnia. So also will a severe shock, intense anxiety or grief.
 The symptoms are over-sensitivencss, irritability, a disposition to worry over trihes, headache, possibly nausea.
 The treatment IS one otnutritlon 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 neurasthenia. A tendency to anemia, or bloodlessness, shown by most neurasthenic patients, is also corrected by these tonic pills. Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams Pink Pills

A report of the enrolment recently taken for personal taxes and military assessn ents was filed today with the state authorities by the board of se- lectn1en.
 The report shows a substantial in crease in the number liable for per sonal taxes this year. There are 750 names on the list, POT of which are exampt from paying this tax owing to five years of service as firemen, mill itiamen or for some other reason.
 The canvass was made this year by Frederick J. Derby. patrolman Phil ip Marine assisted in enrolling the Italian residents. a number of whom have managed to evade paying the tax in previous years.
 Want $15O Appropriation.
 An appropriation of $50, it is un- derstood, will be asked for the pro- posed evening school at the special town meeting next Monday evening. This amount the people back of the movement claim will be ample to pay the expenses of such an undertaking for the balance of the year.
 That the proposition has strong support is evidenced from the peti- tion presented to the selectmen ask ing to have it included in the call for the meeting. The names of sev- eral prominent citizens, including the members of the school board are or the petition and it is not expected that any strong objection will be raised when the plan is submitted to the voters for their approval
 While the school will be open to anyone, if the voters decide to es- tablish it. it is understood that a spe- Cial effort will be made to get non English speaking foreigners to join.

A HARD TRIP
over DESERT

On Monday Austin J. Nugent, OF
the firm of Nugent Brothers, returned
from an extensive prospecting trip to
Lovelock, Rochester, Willard, Rye
Patch and other noted mining dis
tricts in Central Nevada. On July
Mr.. Nugent, accompanied by Mr.. Alex
Ransom, of Simpson, in the latter's
Doris" began their wanderings.
The trip was hard one even with
good auto, and at this season of the
year the route taken would other
wise have been almost inn
possible on account of the heat
and the barren deserts they trav.
ersed Many of the roads over which
they Travelled have been little used of
late years and they found that many
of the by ways passed over were very
difficult on account of washouts. Wa
ter was frequently very scarce and in
many places not fit for drinking on
account of the lime and alkali it con
tanned.
The object Of the trip was princi-
pally to acquire leasing ground at Ro-
chester or Willard, but not finding
what they wanted they proceeded on
to Rye Patch and Spring Valley. Por-
tons of the country they traversed is
being reduced to cultivation and at
CAttnnxunnI
at the north end of Dixie Valley, they
found fruit consisting of peaches,
pears, apples and cantaloupcs, famous
for quality among tourists, which
compensated for all the toll and hard
ship encountered on the entire trip.
AT Antelope Springs they secured two
locations containing cinnabar and lead
which they intend to develop later on.
On their return, after several break
downs caused by the gullies made iii
the roads by washouts, they
came home by way OF Fallon
and Wonder after an experience
of toll and hardship that only
men of courage and endurance
can successfully conquer Both
returned we'll and happy and ready
for more.
During the past few years Mr. Ran
son has reduced to cultivation ranch
near Simpson in Smith Valley, and
built fine home on it.
