THE PRICE OF SUCCESS

Many people pay terrible price for
success, sacrificing for it health and hap
piness. Neurasthenia, atypically Ameri-
can disease, is due to worry over the
struggle for success more than to any
other one thing.
Neurasthenia is condition of nervous
exhaustion in which the system fails to
recuperate after unusual demands upon
its nervous energy. Its symptoms arc
over sensitiveness, irritability, DISPOSE
ton to worry over trifes, headache, pos
sibly nausea.
The treatment is one of nutrition of tho
nerve cells, requiring a non-alcoholic
tonic. AS the nerves get their nourish-
ment from the blood the treatment must
be directed towards building up the blood.
Or. 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. Begin the treatment today before
-FOUR condition becomes chronic.

sous System" and "What to Eat and

people Of the city an opportunity to
attend the big parade and field meet,
and to do homage to the American

that the presence Of such a large

just passing notice, and the mayor.

work and play, has promised to de-
clare part Of the opening day Of their

collection Bureau for Members Of the
League, May be Established

Future.
DIRECTORS TO DISCUSS
League Directors Will Meet Monday
to Discuss Plan Proposed
by President
Justice.

The establishment of a collection
bureau for members Of the Retailers
league will be taken up for considera-
ton at the next monthly meeting of
this organization, to be held next
Tuesday night. The matter will be
considered nrst, however, by the di-
|rectors Of the league They will meet
on Monday at the Industrial associa-
ton when they will determine just
how the matter will be presented to
the merchants Tuesday evening,
B The establishment of collection
bureau is, in the opinion of President
M. p. Justice, just one more step in the
of this organization
which he believes Is capable of almost
unlimited possibilities for the mer-
chants.
IT the collection bureau Is formed,
It probably will be handled in con-
junction with the credit bureau which
Is controlled by ]. A. Pollard. The en-
ployment of additional man, would, OF
course. be necessary. The expenses
of collecting accounts would be re-
duced for the individual firm, however.
The collection bureau would have
for Its objects the collection Of all &C
counts not promptly paid, for all mem
Ibers OF the league the keeping OF
data as to the condition Of those in
debt to members OF the league; collec-
ton OF information regarding changes
of residence of persons having ac-
counts with members of the league.
The purpose of establishing col
lection bureau would be to effect saw
ings in the cost of collecting accounts
and to have this work done more
thoroughly and more efficiently. It is
believed that material reductions in
the cost OF collecting accounts could
