IF YOU WORRY, READ THIS

Worry never brought any good to
anybody. But, you say, 81 don't worry
because want to, worry because I
can't help it." Or, 81 worry because
have SO much to worry about"
We all have our troubles and worry,
OF course, makes matters worse. The
patient generally recognizes this fact
without being able to profit by it.
The doctor who could meet this ner-
yous condition and cure it would be
the most popular medical man alive.
But he cannot do it because the form
OF nervous exhaustion known as neuras-
thenia, of which worry is a characteristic
symptom, must be cured by the patient
himself. That is why you should write
today for the book Diseases of the
Nervous System" and read the chapter
on "Neurasthenia So many people
have read it and written back, "This
hits my case exactly, I am giving the
treatment trial and being benefited"
that the DR.. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y. has had a lot of
these books printed and will send you
copy free on request.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are q nom
alcoholic tonic, particularly suited for
nervous, neurasthenic people. Your

The demands of the people have

change from the four-page paper of

to 24-page daily. Instead Of a brief
telegraphic report, received over com
mercial wires, the modern daily must
have its own leased wire and it's staff

ployed. Newspaper expenses are
steadily climbing. Ten or u years
ago the daily expense of newspaper
in the average city was not more than
500 but today the daily expense is
seldom less thar 5000
With conditions such as this facing
the newspapers, they have ceased to
be merely political organs established
for a brief existence to further some
candidates personal ambitions and
have become business institutions

Middle West Soldiers.

New York Times: The Omaha
World Herald praises, and is justified
in praising, two middle west SOL
diers''-Gen. Frederick Funston, a
Kansan, born in Ohio, and Gen. John
J. Pershing, a Missourian, who lived
four years in Nebraska. The middle
west may well be proud of these
brave, able and experienced officers,
one from civil life, one from West
Point There is no part of the coun-
try where they are not respected and
honored. Funston and Pershing,"
the World Herald says, ARE like the
middle west that bore and reared
them, that inspired them with its
spirit and gave them to the nation
Nobody questions the spirit and
patriotism of the middle west, it's
production of first class fighting
men, All the more singular is it
that the region Of Pershing and Fun
ston should have seemed reluctant to
consent to effective national self de-
