Can You Thread A Needle,
Holding The Thread An Inch From The End? Not To Be Able To Do This Is A Sign Of An Over
 wrought Nervous Condition

There is only one way to correct this. You must reach the cause Of the trouble. Just because your hand tremble it does not follow that the trouble lies directly in the nerves of the hand. The body Is full of what is known as sympathetic nerves.' This wonderful set of nerves known as the sympathetic Nervous System unltes almost every part of the body together and harmonizes all. Many persons are not aware that such nerves exist They do not know that nothing goes on in any part of the body that every part does not instantly "know Of. v The closeness of this sympathy is fa- miliarly illustrated by headaches, in digestion, rheum atism, neuralgia, etc, when the part that hurts may not be the seat of the trouble at all Almost every case of s1eeplessness nervous ness. even dyspepsia, is a sympathetic strike" by brain, nerves and stomach, induced by the lowering of the gen. eral health. In cases of this kind nothing is more grateful than the help and strengthening powers of a remarkable discovery called Margo Nerve Tablets.
 Margo Nerve Tablets are a careful combination of valuable nerve feeding clements that aim to reach and re- vitalize with strengthening power for the entire nervous system. Their action Is quick and unmistakable. You can almost feel them working as the nerves "chirk" up, new ambition seems to spread tinglingly through the entire system and life brightens up as though you have just taken off a pair of blue eyeglasses after having worn them for weeks. Try Margo Nerve Tablets today. Make the test TOT yourself and see if this Is not so. The Clark & Brainerd Co.,, New Britain and other reliable druggists sell it on a positive guarantee to refund your money if these results are not op- tained quickly and satisfactorily. On- der these circumstances you must see how foolish it is to go another day feeling as you do.

$1,90O FOR INSPECTOR.
Plan Allows S1,5OO Salary and $4OO for Transportation.

The inspector is to give all his time to the job and it was suggested that he be allowed $1,- 500 for salary and $400 for transpor- tation and that this be made rec ommendation to the common council.
 Some of the members of the com mlttee were opposed to the salary boost, feeling that the salary should be placed on a living basis where it would not be necessary for the in spector to look for an increase from time to time. The present inspector is giving his W hole time to the job and has the reputation of seeing tha t the ordinances are enforced.

Drink Plenty of Lemonade and Water
 and Avoid Alcoholic Drinks.

All this talk that rheumatism can't be cured, that people must suf- fer terrible agony, gnawing pain and swollen joints until the disease has run it's course, is all humbug.
 Modern physicians know this, and many of them are prescribing doc- tors prescription known as Rheuma, which all good druggists keep i'll stock.
 To end rheumatism or sciatica and bansh it forever, you must fight It and conquer it with something more powerful than the poisonous secretions that cause it.
 Rheuma, is a powerful yet harm less remedy, and the very first half tcaspoonful dose you take Will m- dicate to, you that the poisons are leaving your system. Clark x Braln- erd Co or any druggist from whom you purchase Rheuma will gladly hand YOU back your money If two 5O-cent bottles do not stop the gnaW- ing pain the sharp twinges, ana re- duce the swollen, twisted joints.
