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 strengths declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
lie: dis straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Emul'
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood ano
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.

These lines run along different
Ichannels.
Patrick Henry aroused a nation to
action by the zeal and fire of his ora
tory, but he could not lead an army
to victory. 1t required a Washing
ton for that.
Thomas Jefferson could write the
Declaration of independence, but as
an orator he could not stand before
his audience nor did he possess any
of the qualities of soldier.
Nearly all great writer's fail as
speakers. Joseph Addison was the
most graceful and fluent writer of
the eighteenth century. There was
a charm about his writings that no
one else possessed. His pieces were
classics. He finally won a seat in
the House of Commons, and he
aroused great expectations, but when
he arose to make a speech his timid-
ity overpowered him and he could
not utter a syllable.
The same story is told of Jeffer-,
son, Int both Addison and Jefferson,
while not possessing the gift of ora
tory, exercised pwerful influence
with their associates, and their very

THE DISTRIBUTION OF GIFTS

The Bible tells us that there is
zone glory of the sun, and another
glory of the stars, for one star diff
fereth from another star in glory"
How true that is.
We see its truth verified every
where in nature. Rarely are two
distinct gifts bestowed upon sin
gle object. While nature is lavish
with her gifts, fortunately she does
mot pile them up in heaps, but like
the early and the latter rains they
are distributed over the earth alike
to the just and the unjust.
We admire the giant trees of the
forest, not for their beauty, but for
their strength, while we admire the
flowers of the fields, not for their
strength, but for their beauty.
How beautiful, yet how different,
ARE all the fiowers-none are be-
slowed with the same gifts. Those
that are beautiful are not always
fragrant, and those that are fragrant
are not always beautiful. The violet
and the lily cannot boast of the
queeily qualities of the rose, but
none the less the violet is wor-
shipped for its modesty and the lily
for its purity.
Among the birds of the air this
rule holds true also, as it does among
the beasts of the forest.
The elephant possesses no lines of
beauty, but he is admired for his
bulk and for his strength, and the
lion for his very foreclosures, while
the smaller animals win our admir-
alton along the lines of their nim-
ibleness and coyness.
The hooking bird is not so gor-
geously arrayed as the bird of para
disc, nor has the canary the bril-
liant hues of the red bird, but they
are possessed with the greater gift
Of song.
We see this truth of gifts verified
In the higher creation of man. While
nature is as lavish with her gifts
here as elsewhere she has no favor
1ites, to the extent at least of load
ing all her gifts on any one man.
No great painter was ever great

HEALTH REGISTRARS
OF POLK COUNTY
APPOINTED

DR.. Joseph Y. Porter, State health
officer, has Just finished sending out
the supplies of blanks and forms to
the local registrars in the State in
order that they may begin the work
of registering all births and deaths
that occur after midnight Dec. 81,
1916, in the State of Florida as pro-
yided by the vital statistics law,
which was enacted by the 1915 ses-
sion of the Legislature.
Beginning with the first of the
year there is no reason why each
and every birth and death that oc-
ours within the State of Florida
should not be registered, as local
registrar has been provided for each
municipality and voting precinct.
Births are to be reported by the
physician or midwife in attendance
at the birth, and when no physician
or midwife in attendance at the
birth, and when no physician or
midwife is in attendance, it becomes
the duty of the father or mother to
make such report to the local regis
trar of the municipality or voting
precinct in which the birth occurred,
and this report must be made with
in ten days after the date of birth.
Deaths are to be reported by the
undertaken, or person acting as such,
which includes any person having
charge of the burial of a dead body
The law requires that they must file
certificate of death with the local
registrar of the municipality or vot-
ing precinct in which the death oc-
Cured and procure burial permit
before making any disposition of a
dead body by burial or otherwiseg
The following is list of the local
registrars in and for each munich
pality and voting precinct in Polk
county with the territory covered by
each: Lakeland, H. l.. Swatts;
Barlow, W. s. View; Fort Meade, G..
L. Frederick; Winter Haven, R. B.
Hedrick; Mulberry, H. J. Koener;
Auburndale, G. C. Davis; Kathleen,

H. M. Adams Visits BattIefieIds.

Referring to a former Canaan resi- dent and school teacher, the Hartford Courant of Friday, says:
 Henry M. Adams, of NJ. 621 New Britain avenue, has returned from a trip that he took with party of Hart ford people last week to Washington D. C., and. then leaving the party in Washington last Wednesday, to the battle grounds where he fought during the Civil War, Harper's Ferry, Sharps- burg. Antietam, and Keedysville. While he was at Antietam he stood on the very spot where he lay for forty four hours before being carried off the field and nursed by Hartford man, Henry F. Tracy, of Oakland Terrace. He also visited the house where his mother came South and nursed him when he was invalided for three months by a wound. MT. Adams found rifle in the ford of Antietam that his regiment, the Sixteenth Con- necticut Volunteers, waded through. The gun is now owned by an Antietam man who found it there fourty- -four years after the battle. Mr. Adams saw it last week and deciphered on it words that marked it as one of the guns of his regiment. He also saw the tower that the government has erected at Sharpsburg so that fine view may be had of the battlefield. The national cemetery at Sharpsburg is kept up in very good shape and was one of the things that impressed MT. Adams on his journey.
