suddenly stumbled over a small

why YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have 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 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.

John Doe Making Good

Our old. hand working friend
John Doe, who lives six miles
above Pickens, is a man who
has an eye for his own interest.
a few years ago on rainy days
and when the ground was too
wet to work John would sit idly
around the fireside or 90 to town
and spend his time in swapping
the news. One day while on
one of these trips he and a few
friends were talking about cross
ties. The subject was discussed
until thoroughly thrcshcd out,
and when John went home he
had an idea that getting out ties
might be the means Of him ac-
Quiring some much needed cash.
TO make a long story short,
John decided he would get out
a few and Immediately went to
work. During the first month
when he could not work on the
farm John put in II days. In
nine Of these he got out nine a |
day or 81 ties and in the five re-
naming days he hauled them
to town. Scvcnty-two were
first class for which he received |
1913 80; nlnc were second class
for which he received So 25. He
received a total Of $31.0 05 for ii
days work, which he would
otherwise have idled away.
That would make John receive
for each day 1921, and he can't
get it out Of his head that it |
beats farming, for he says he
can't make that a day on his
arm.
At that time he owed $500 for
lis land, but today he has a
)ank account, good stock, tools,
md does not owe a cent.
John says some people call
hem Starvation Poles but | call
hem Salvation.

MOSTLY OF SMALL MOMENT
Trivial Cases That Come Up for AdIu.
dleatlon In the Various d.
voree Courta

II you 60 to the very bottom Of
all the many divorce cases that grind
through the courts you might find
that a very large proportion of them
are the result of some untidy, slouchy
habit on the part of husband OF
wife. Some little thing like a habit
of letting the stockings wrinkle down
in slouchy folds at the shoe tops, OF
a frowsy manner of wearing the haiI
or picking ones teeth in public, OF
wearing finger nails in mourning, OF
picking at the nostrils, or letting the
shoes run over at the heels.
There is an old saying that 9
woman may dress in silks and satini
and il her shoes are soiled she is
frowsy all over.
After all, it is the little thing,
that make up the sum of life. 4
woman can overlook an outburst OF
temper in her husband once in &
while. She can forgive occasional
fits Of the blues or lack of interest
in things that interest her, but little
untidy habits on his part, things that
he does or doesn't do, from mere
carelessness-those are things that
often put heavy strain on her af'
fections. Sometimes it is the Other
way around, and the husband is tried
as that eastern man was by his wife'f
habit of gnawing her finger nails.
The fault in itself may seem tri.
fling, but repeated day after day it
may shatter the happiness of the
home.--Kansas City Star.
