WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength isdeclin-
ing, the Same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected
leads straight to 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.

THERURAL PRESS
The Local Paper a Most Useful
Agency on the Farm-The Press,
Pulpit and School Trinity Of
Influence That Must Be
Utilized in Building
Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

l.
A broad campaign Of publicity on
the subject of rural life is needed in
this state today to bring the problems
of the farmers to the forefront. The
front pages Of the metropolitan dali
les and echoed in the country press,
but the troubles of the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter of the package ofttmes OBJ
scures the substance. A searching in
vestigation into the needs Of the
farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects in our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly un-
derstood and Illuminated by the pow
er of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are a trinity of powerful. In
fuences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy commanding position in pub
lie affairs. These gigantic agencies are
organized in every rural community
and only await the patronage and CO
operation Of the farmers to fully de-
velop their energy and usefulness.
They are local forces working for
the best interests of their respective
communities. Their work is to build
and their object is to serve. They
prosper only through the development
and prosperity Of the community.
Every farmer in this state should
| subscribe for the local paper, as well
as farm periodicals and such other
publications as he may find profitable
but he should by all means subscribe
for his local paper, and no hons
should be without it. The local paper
| is part of the community life and the
editor understands the farmers prob
| lens. It is the local press that will
study the local problems and through
its columns deal with subjects Of mos
vital Importance to local life Of the
community.
