The mighty restorative power of
Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription
speedily causes all womanly troubles
to disappear - compels the organs to
properly perform their natural func-
tions, corrects displacements, over
comes irregularities, removes pain and
misery at certain times and brings
back health and strength to nervous,
irritable and exhausted women.
1t is wonderful prescription pre-
pared only from natures roots and
herbs with no alcohol to falsely stitn-
ulate and no narcotic to wreck the
nerves. 1t banishes pain, headache,
backache, low spirits, hot flashes,
dragging-down sensation, worry and
sleeplessness surely and without loss
OF time. Get it now! All druggists.

Saving Mount Vernon.

The high bluff on which stands Mount
Vernon, the home of our first president,
has for years been in danger OF gradually
sliding into the Potomac. This danger
became acute few years ago when 1t
was discovered that new landslide was
beginning that threatened 10 destroy the
broad lawn in front Of the mansion, if not
the foundations of the mansion itself, and
engineering work, recently completed,
was begun at that time to save the historic
site from further damage. The ground
slopes from the mansion TO the edge OF
the bluff and from this point drops steeply
for hundred feet or more 10 the edge
OF the Potomac. The river al this point
is a wide tidal estuary and the action OF
the waves has caused steady erosion at
the foot OF the bluff. Underlying the
bluff are strata Of sand, clay, and soft
sandstone, which, on investigation, were
found 10 be saturated with water, and
l0lS, COIlUlISu WIFI HiS SlOoiOH VI "'S
waves, has resulted in landslideS that
have doubtless been going on intermit-
tently for ages. To cure the trouble a
small drainage tunnel was first driven in
the bottom of the sandstone stratum and
carried back from the river front dis
tance of about 200 feet. From this tunnel
a heavy flow OF water Immediately started
and this flow continued for several months.
At the end of that time the flow dimin-
ished to moderate amount and has re-
manned practically constant ever since.
To prevent further erosion at the foot OF
the bluff through the action OF the waves
a heavy masonry wall was then built
along the edge of the river.

Our esteemed contemporary says that
in recifing "Sheridan'a Ride" at the
Methodist Church festival last week we
looked and acted like iackass. We
could retort in way that would embitter
the mans whole future, but we have
learned to pass such things by. Suffice it

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 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. 1t is free from alcohol.

Among the passengers in the tram were
an elderly lady and her pretty, young
niece; also a young gentleman. The
train had passed through several tunnels,
when the maiden aunt said:

had better sit over on this SIDE"
Pretty niece-Oh, no, auntie Just lei

An Arab Saying.

Remember three things come not back
The arrow sent upon its track
II will not swerve. il will not stay
Its speed il flies 10 wound or slay.
The spoken word. so soon forgot
BY thee, yet il has perished not
In other hearts It's living still,
And doing work for good or ILL.,
And the lost opportunity,
That cometh back no more 10 thee
In vain thou weepest. in vain dost yearn,
These three will nevernore return.

Neglect of the Scalp.

Inheritance has something TO do with
badness. Men in a family usually have
a disposition to get bald at about the same
age. Certain scalp diseases cause bald
ness is neglect. The scalp is exceedingly
dirty in the average run of men and boys.
II any other six inches of skin were kept
as dirty as the scalp if would be consid-
cred a disgrace. There is no reason why
boys should not be taught to wash the
hair with soap and water every day, then
dry and brush If well. As soon as the
boy gets old enough to wash his ears and
to keep his face clean down to the collar
line he should also keep his scalp clean.
If the hair after washing is too dry little
grease can be used. Following this plan
there should be no premature badness.
Generally the horse is out before the
stable door is locked.

The drowned were in two boats,

things, the passengers agreed, pre-

were: First. that the sea was calm;
second, that lifeboats had previously
been swung out TO meet such an
emergency, and, third, that there was
no panic and the crew displayed good
discipline in getting over the boats.
