Why not march the militia boys
to camp instead of giving them ride
in passenger coaches? The long walk
would do them good and give them a
real touch Of soldier life and disci-
pine and training. Their muscles
would become hardened and they
would be doing something that would
better fit them for the real work of
soldiers in active service.-Mankato

Some of the would-be guberna-
torial candidates have evidently gone
into cold storage. What has hap
pened to Jim Peterson, Burnquist,
Lindbergh and Schmahl? The sum

start one of those family quarrels
which always follow when several
Republicans want the same office?

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realizs 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, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's 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. It is free from alcohol
