Dear Doctor: My nerves are not strong, am easily startled, irritated, stomach is not very strong, have great distress about two hours after eating in the pit of my stomach and feel very
 hungry. I eat toast, soft boiled eggs, fish and cooked fruits. Let me know what I should do. -
 (Answer) Nervousness as well as other symptoms of that nature is caused, according to my opinion, en- tirely from poor digestion, of which the pain at the pit of the stomach and intense hunger are infallible indica- tions. Almost ali such conditions come from the same cause. It is the same old story of the food remaining too long in the stomach before digest ing. Either you have eaten too much or you have consistently eaten of such foods as have been very hard to di- gest and could not be assimilated by the system. If people understood the importance of adopting a good diet when they are still well, they would not be obliged to exclude from their diet so many foods as afterward be- comes necessary. It is therefore, in this case as in all others, better to 'tstenn the tide in the brook than in the river, and you are wise to begin at once on the treatment of your con d1t1On. The diet is of vast importance i in all stomach disorders. In Vol. 1
 you will find careful instructions on
 food values, etc, which will enable 1 you to select Q diet which will be
 easily assimiIated. Vol. 2 contains be-
 sides a number of other lectures all of
 those on the subject of Dynamic Mag
 netisnl, which would be of especial
 value in overcoming the nervousness.
 The diet you are now using is all
 right so far Is it goes, except that you
 should substitute fresh fruits for the
 cooked fruits. The raw vegetables
 such as cabbage, lettuce, etc, would | be of no value. Above all, chew every
 thing thoroughly until it is a liquid in
 the mouth, drink nothing while eating. but drink plenty of water between
 meals. You would also find the Com bound Gentian and Charcoal Magnesia
 Tablets of great value in yo1&S case. lformulae of which [ have given in these columns.

 Dear Doctor: I am bothered with bad breath and constipation. Teeth are in good shape. Bad taste in the mouth in the morning. Stomach does not hurt me except when I eat apples and cooked cabbage, which makes gas. I do not have catarrh and do not eat rich food.
 (Answer). Ilwould suggest that you eat only two meals daily and make 8 practice of chewing your food very thoroughly. Drink absolutely nothin g while food is in the mouth, but drink an abundance of pure water between meals. With your second meal always have a salad of raw cabbage or fruits and use as a dressing two tablespoon fuls of olive oil, two teaspoonfuls of vinegar or lemon juice, little salt and red pepper. Do not eat fresh bread veal or cooked cabbage. Al most any kind of fresh vegetab ables or fruit that can be eaten in the raw ctate will do for your salad-onions, carrots, watercress, cabbage, toma- toes, lettuce, apples or bananas, but of these the ca bbage, lettuce and .ap- pies are the best. The quantity of dressing specified is for one sauce dishful. This plan will keep your stomach sweet and clean, relieve the constipation and improve } aur gen eral health. If the trouble ts in the

Washington, March s.-If 4 provision
in the army bill as reported from the
house military committee is enacted
into law, there will be an investigation
of the whole subject Of government
manufacture Of munitions.
The bill contains paragraph which
provides for comprehensive inquiry
of this sort by q board of Ave Off
GERS to be named by the secretary OF
war. The board would be required to
go exhaustiyely into all the broad
phases of the subject, Including FEAST
bility, comparative cost and the like,
and report to the next session Of con-
gress. The provision which has been
put into the bill was inserted at the in
stance of Representative Hull, of Iowa.
The proposed investigation will I'm
doubtedly get much support and It
would not be surprising II It remained
In the army bill when 1t was finally
passed by both houses. The objection
to it from the standpoint Of the strong
advocates Of government manufacture
of war materials is that congress ought

ones for government manufacture and
ought not to wait on an Investigation.
1t will also be objected that great
many army Officers have no sympathy
with government manufacture OF war
materials and any investigation by
army officers will. be one-sided. On
the other hand 1t will be possible. of

! Spencer March 9.-You can't beat
these Clay county farmers when 1t
comes to wanting the latest in roads.
The board Of supervisors started some
! thing when they agreed to gravel the
county highways every time the farm

toward the work for they are all after
graveled roads now. AS a result Clay
county is fast getting the reputation
as having one Of the best county road
systems in Iowa ana in a few years
there will be nothing to beat 1t.
Petitions have been fled at the court
house in this city asking that the road
from Webb to, the north and south
highway. known as the ".Air. Line" be
graveled and In each case the money
accompanied the petition. Also resi-
dents along the highway from Green
vile to, Gillett Grove want graveled
highways, have raised the necessary
funds and nave filed a petition. The
road from Webb to the Air Line" is
about six miles in length and that
from GreenviIle to Gillett Grove eight

soon as weather and ground conditions

Farmers along the road from Royal

Spirit Lake, March 9.-The largest

Charles Wilson, Jr. It seems that Mr..

large ones for some time, and yesterT
day the time came he was alone in

when he spied the monster in about
sixteen feet Of water. He drove his
spear true to the mark and after play
Ing the Ash foT SOME. time he managed
to drive the second spear into the fish
and fasten the ropes to the fish house.
1t was out Of the question for Mr..
Wiese to land the fish alone so he
went in search Of help and got his
SON. in law. Charles Wilson, to help
| him. 1t was fully twenty minutes be-
| fore the gentlemen arrived at the fish
! house to land the monster. During
this time the fish had been Juggling at
the spears and seemed to be as fresh
as at the start. After about thirty
minutes work and a number Of at
tempts to get the fish thru the ice he
was finally landed and proved to be
the largest one ever caught in the
lakes. being a spoonbill sturgeon. six

inches across, and the bill twenty

Chicago, March S-Heg prices aver
aged the highest today since June Fl.
1910. The reason was a scarcity OF
arrivals.
Somewhere in the country several
million more or less marketable hogs
are concealed, but the, owners thereof
are in no unseemly haste to convert
them Into cash, having had recent OPP
portunity' to realize. the intrinsic value
of their porcine property. The market
IS working to a level however, where
dislodgment Is to be expected. Coun-
try buyers say they-would secure many
if they were able to bid 800 per cwt
at interior points,, which.is not yet pos
sibie. Prices attained a new high level
for the season Tuesday, and confident
prediction that 1000 will be paid be-
fore the end OF this month is made.
Country buyers have made consider
able money on the 800 advance, which
has been practically continuous.
During the first three days of the
week there have been about $500 hogs
received at Chicago, being 1900 less
than same days last week. $500 more
than year ago and 25,ao0 more than
corresponding period two years ago.
