WHO Is MYSTERIOUS SINCERE
Governors Once Has Uncamy VOICE
Singing The Holy CITY"

Madison, Wis. Feb. as.-Every af-
ternoon at o'clock. or shortly after
ward. a woman's voice has sung THE
Holy City" IN the Governors private
office in the State capitol. For three
weeks a persistent search .aas been
made for the mysterious singer, and
with no result.
The affair is beginning to get on
the nerves Of Governor Phillip and
Colonel Pri2ly. his secretary. The
superintendent Of public buildings has
searched the wing of the capitol in
vain. The voice appears to come from
one corner OF the Governors office,
and the Governor has ordered the
position of his desk changed so he
faces the conner,
The voice sometimes sobs out the
song. at other times it is iubilant. but
il is apparently always the same hui
man voice.

The 18th annual reunion of the Lassell
and Sweetland families was held at the
home of MIR. and Mrs. Charles Luce,
Searsmont, Aug. 10Th. The day was
pleasant and by noon about 60 members
of the families had met and exchanged
greetings. Much regret was expressed
by all as in the past year one OF the be-
loved members, Daniel Sweetland, had
been called to meet with higher re-
union. He was always ready to make
the day pass most pleasantly tor the
old and young.
As the noon hour approached the tables
were set, and all did justice to the we'll
laden baskets, land also the baked beans
furnished by Mrs. Charles Luce.
At o'clock the business meeting was
called to order by the secretary in the
absence of the president, and the fol-
lowing program was listened to: Address
of welcome, Mrs. Charles Luce; re-
Spouse, Mrs. Callie Fuller; song, Miss
Maud Bryant; reading. Mrs. Rowland
Lassell; story, Mrs. Ed Lassell; re-
marks, Mr.. and Mrs. Wiley; remarks,
Mrs. Abbie Ordway; music, monograph.
AS the hour was getting late, all part
ed bidding each other a fond farewell
and wishing that all would meet with
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Lassell of South Hope,
next year.

NERVOUS EXHAUSTION

1rritability, oversensitiveness, dispo-
sition to worry over trihes, headache,
dizziness these are symptoms of nervous
exhaustion, neurasthenia.
Very often the patient feels best and
brightest at night. Rest seems to bring
no refreshment, the nervous system fails
to recuperate. This distressing condition
is caused by worry more often than by
any other one thing. Overwork and
worry invite the disorder.
The treatment is one OF nutrition of the
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.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills act directly on
the blood and with proper regulation OF
the diet have proved of the greatest hene-
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 or they will be sent by mail at SO
cents per box; six boxes $3.50. Begin
the treatment at once before your condi-
ton becomes chroni"
Two useful books, "Diseases of the
Nervous System" and "What to Eat and
How to Eat" will be sent free by the
DR.. Williams Medicine Co. , Schenectady,
N. Y, if you mention this paper.
