HERBS AS HOUSE
HOLD REMEDIES

From the earliest history of the
human race the world over, herbs,
roots and barks have been used as
household remedies. Those nations
who peopled the civilized world be-
fore the Christian era have handed
down to us in their writings descrip-
tons of the very same household rem
edies that are in universal use today.
These remedies We're laboriously gath
cred and placed in their crudest form
upon the shelf for future use. That
these simple remedies were beneficial
is not doubted by anyone; today medi-
cal science universally accepts these
same remedies. Their medicinal value
having been proven by generations of
constant use, the authorities on ma
terra medica the world over agree
upon their medicinal qualities. Need
less to say these various roots, banks
and herbs do not have the same medi-
cinal properties, but rather they cover
a wide range of the many ills to which
the flesh is heir.
Medical science Of the present day
has carefully studied the many rene
dies in various proportions and their
effects, ana have scientifically demon
strated from the entire worlds pro-
ducts which are the best under certain
conditions for the many different dis
eases.
There is carefully selected and
scientific combination Of simple veg
etable remedies, the original formula
Of which is that of distinguished
German physician. 1t is not a patent
medicine, but the result of a perfected
private formula which has for over
seventeen years proven most benef-
cial for the relief of all blood, stom-
ach, liver and kidney diseases. 1t is

Rank Feelishness.

You occasionally see it stated that
colds do not result from cold weather.
That is rank foolishness. We're it
true colds would be as prevalent in
midsummer as in midwinter. The
microbe that causes colds fourishes
in damp, cold weather. To ct rid of
cold take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t is effectual and is highly
recommended by people who have
used it for many years as occasion
required, and know it's real value.

Fairmont Normal School is
progressing nicely. The enroll
ment for the second semester is
now as large as for the first Sc
mester. We are expecting a
number of new studentsin school
the spring term, which begins
March %. Many schools will
have closed and their teachers
can attend school here the spring
and summer terms and get cred
it for one half years work.
A group of students are
studying one of Shakespeare's
plays. Midsummer Nights
Dream" which they are going
to give in April. Some of the
parts have been given out and
the rehearsals will begin soon.
Besides the Shakespearian
play, many students are inter-
ested in a debate to take place
between Chenille Norman, Fair
mont Normal and one other
school yet to be chosen. The
debaters to represent Fairmont
Normal School are to be chosen
by preliminary contest to be
held the last of March.

Victor Murdoch, "The Red Head
ed Insurgent from Kansas, was
here under the auspicies of the
Normal Lecture Course. He is
a congressman, literary man,
and lecturer. Besides Mr.. Muir

The managers of our year

cation with interest.
The Fiftieth Anniversary of

last month by special program.
BY means of this Jubilee the Y.
VIC. A.tried to show the purpose
of the organization and give it's
members an opportunity to learn
more about Miss Grace Dodge's
life, work, and spirit, and to
make the association better
known to the public. The 7. M.
C. A. had very interesting meet
ings and the members found
these meetings both interesting
and helpful.
Not because of lack of interest
but because of the great inter
est, have not mentioned our
basket ball team until the last.
The team does not lack supper

students and large crowds from
the town turn out and root for

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is thealarm 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 dcclin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cclls while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol
