utes, J. L. Bonham presented the sec
rotary of the club with a handsome
fountain pen with "Just token of ap-

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS

y 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 dec1in-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamfu1
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-ce1ls while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.
