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 Einul-
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

Business Men For Coleman Dupor

Business Men For Coleman Dupont.
The Business Mems League
Of West Virginia, which was or
ganized to advance state road
Improvement and to obtain the
services of business men for
municipal, county, state and ma
tional Offices, is supporting the
candidacy Of Coleman du Pont,
choice of the Republican party
of Delaware for President of
the United States. The league
is for du Pont because he also
advocates the application of
modern business methods to the
affairs of the Government, and
the Improvement of roads as the
best means of reuucing the cost
of marketing farm products.
Du Pont, who is running as a
business man, began life as a
laborer in a coal mine, and rose
by his own efforts to leadership
in enterprises as large as any in
the world.
Du Pont has lived and worked
in, four states. People in sec
tions where he is known person.
ally do not need to be told any
thing about him; but here he is
/ not personally known, it is com
monty supposed that he never
was other than a powder manu-
facturer, and that he was born
into millions. The truth is, he
was born the son of a poor man,
and had no connection with the
powder industry until 1900. He
retired from that business early
in 1915, not caring to take part
in the making Of war munitions
for Europe.
After starting with pick and
shovel, du Pont was successfully
mining engineer, mine superin-
tendent, mine owner, ! manager
of steel mills and builder and
operator of electric railways.
He had made himself a big bust
ness man when the Delaware
branch of the family called him
to the presidency of the firm
thatbears their name. When he
entered the company the assets
were SIS, 100000 and when he
retired, they totaled S80,000,-
900. He sold his interest just
before war orders which he
knew were coming, tribled its
value. After quitting the pow
der business he bought control

This country has had many
lawyers and some politicians as
Presidents, but never a business

they can to effect the selection

Lafayette, Ind.-When a west-bound
Wabash freight train was passing
through Lafayette one day early the

was found that James Fisk of Spring
field. Mass. aged twenty-four, had be-
come imprisoned in a car of loose Junk
iron.
Fish had been beating" his way on
the train and short time before the
cries we're heard the train had broken
in two. When the cars came to-
gether with a crash a mass of Junk
iron slid over on top of Fisk's legs.
At the time he was sleeping ia the
end Of gondola car and it was i'm
possible for him to free himself. He
could not be rescued until the car
had been bumped several times to Jar
the mass of iron away from his legs.
He was taken to the hospital in a
terribly crushed condition. His cries
aroused hundreds Of people from their
sleep. 1t is probable he will recover.
