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 is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, 'tiredness, dreamfu1
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Emu1-
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. It is free from alcohol,

LLOYD-GEORGE'S DESTINY

''It is not to be wondered at that
Lloyd-George should cherish an ex-
allied conception of his own powers
and destiny. Everything for the last
six years has worked together to i'm
press it upon him and his country
men. I know said William Pitt,
that I can save this country and that
no other man cam So, it would seem,
with Lloyd-George. He has repeated
Iy been hailed as savior, before the
war of the Liberal party, during the
war Of the empire itself-savior of the
national credit, the industrial fabric,
the army in the field, and the national
soul From the beginning of the pres
ct troubles he has been chosen for the
discharge of the hardest and most mo-
mentous tasks, especially in negotia-
ton. The politician once regarded as
the parliamentary has Of late been
treated as divinely gifted conciliat-
or, and it is certainly not Lloyd
Georges fault if his work in that di-
rection has not been crowned by
triumphant settlement of the Irish
problem. IS. X. Radcliffe, in the o.

My Uncle Jim, he's going to get
A chance to make speech.
He'll show us some new ways, you bet,
To make the eagle screech.
He's goin' to wake us up once more
Where banners proudly float,
An show us, as he's done before
How patriots ought to vote.
It is chance for splendid fame
Which ought to make him proud.
Whatever honor he may claim,
That claim should be allowed.
Yet his rewards are always small,
We notice with regret;
A chance to make a speech is all
He ever seems to get.

MANY WANT JOBS IN LOS

caster Herald

Many persons in the east go to Cal
ifornia, attracted by the climate and
pleasant surroundings. Some are not
in good health and others desire to
escape the cold in the northern states.
Thousands are able to work, and if
they can earn little money are salts
fed. That is why living is cheap in
the coast cities. This Office has re-
ceived a copy Of the Los Angeles Elk
aminer from Fred d. Clarke former
ly of Baraboo which contains the fol-
lowing:
If you wish to know how many
men between 35 and so years of
age would like to have a Job as
night clerk in hotel, just ask
H. A. Shelton Of 825 West Eighth

tify to the number of these men
who read the Examiner" and es-
pecially the classified ad column.

more or less exciting experiences
with them. The residence streets
are daily thronged by Hill-Billies, as
the hill farmers are called, who come
in from the country from a distance
of ten or more miles, to peddle their
farm produce. Each one drives a
light Jersey" wagon, having the ap-
pearance of being turned out of the
same shop and just subsequent to the
Deacon's "one-hoss shay" only of a
different model. They were no doubt
painted at the shop, but time and the
elements have given them heavy
second coat of neutral gray that won't
rub off. One old Scotch Hill-Billie,
who stopped at our door several days
ago, was observed to be stepping
around his wagon as if practicing
some of the latest dance steps, and
finally volunteered the information:
"Eh, mon, 7 haze a teek where | ought
ma to haze i'm" Realizing that from
the human standpoint, all ills are
similarly located, could not help but
sympathize with him.

At the plant of the Herfortt Canning

aside after the sweet corn had been
removed. Mr.. Herfort says there is
plenty of material in the cobs for al

In this country there appears to be
no cheap machinery for the process,

Everything that rhymes
Is not poem.
Verses that wander,
Verses that roam;
Verses that show
That "nobody's home"
May be well rhymed,
But they don't make poem.
Now this thing rhymes,
But it isn't a poem.

And the verses roam,
