Good Advice To Nervous People.

People who are excessively nervous, tired out and all run down, who get the jumps and fdgets, who can't con- centrate their minds on work, have fits of blues, trembling, nervous headaches and dyspepsia and that "don't give a hang" feeling so common to nervous folks may take it as a certain fact that their trouble is due to impoverished or devitalized nerve force. Their nerve cells are starving and when they give out entirely complete nervous pros
 tration or breakdown Is the result.
 A splendid treatment for weak nerves is found in the famous MargO Nerve Tablets, composed of six of the best nerve vitalizing elements known to modern chemistry. These tablets go straight to the nerve cell and begin immediate action. Take MargO Nerve tablet, wait ten minutes and watch yourself perk up. They feed your famished nerve cells, start healthy blood circulation and normal diges- tion. Then you brighten up, put on a smile, get some of the old time pep" back in your system and feel as hap py as 8 clam at high tide. Margo Nerve Tablets are absolutely harmless, contain no dangerous habit-forming drugs, are easy to take, inexpensive and Clark & Brainerd and other lead ing druggists sell them on a positive guarantee of successful results or money back. e5

butcher or baker whose place is pol luted with flies.
 As between rotten food and bad air. it is hard to say which is worse. Both are harmful. and no person should be forced to eat the one or breed the other. Dirty food is food covered with dust, and to which, besides the dirt and disease germs carried to it by flies is added the filth from the unwashed hands of those who are allowed to handle the product. Even if you do escape disease, do you care to eat food covered with fine dustings of manure, or meat upon which flies from a nearby garbage can have feasted?
 Decency is worth something and doesn't cost any more-therefore pa tronize and encourage the dealer who protects his foodstuffs.
 The way to determine whether a man is cleanly or uncleanly in the conduct of his business is to know his methods during the operation.
 Do Not Handle Foods.
 Have you ever stopped to think how very little is learned and how much loss is caused by the unneces- sary and filthy habit of handling oth- CT peoples foods?
 Ordinarily our hands are none too clean, especially so while on a market ing trip.
 I object to eat what you handle or taste and if you don't object to eat what I handle or taste, at least you should.
 If you had some food article to sell would you allow other people to handle or taste it? If you would you should not.
 Spreading Disease.
 Care1essness in hotels, restaurants and other eating places is undoubted- ly responsible for much spread of disease. Dishes, especially those which touch the month, should be thoroughly scalded after each use, likewise knives, forks and spoons. The greatest trouble comes from drinking glasses, which are often re- filled by the walters and given to other patrons. Cheap eating places are by no means the worst in this respect. It is not the price that governs, but the care exercised by those in charge.

 Good milk is good food. It is nu- tritious. easily digested and assimilat-

Boys Leg Torn Off.
 The Dunn boy, according to per sons who were standing on the bank of the inlet, also was attacked soon after going into the water. An elder brother and another boy went to his rescue They succeeded in driving g off the shark, but not until after the younger Dunn's leg had been torn all most to shreds from the knee down.
 Dr. H. S. Cooley, who attended the Dunn boy, said he probably would re- cover, unless blood poisoning devel- oped. He was removed to a hospital in New Brunswick. N. J.
 Hundreds of persons focked to the bank of the inlet soon after the trage- dv. The inlet is about fifty feet wide, ten or twelve feet deep. and extends for a distance of several miles from Raritan Bay. Several persons along Raritan Bay said they had seen the fins of a shark during the afternoon and they agreed that it was about nine feet long.
 Efforts were made last night to bar the egress of the sharks to sea by stretching a wire netting across the inlet where it empties into the bay and it is probable that dynamite will be used to bring them to the surface.
 Hundreds of armed men in row. boats and launches were hunting to- day for the sharks.
 It was reported this morning that another man. named Baldwin, was at lacked and killed by a shark at Key port, N. J., at the mouth of the creek
 The body of Lester Stillwell has not been recovered and it is believed that the shark devoured the lad.
 Joseph Ralph Dunn was in a pre- carious condition in a New Brunswick hospital today and it was said that injuries he received from the shark might prove fatal. Since the first shark raid on the Jersey coast re- gently, bathing has been virtually suspended.
 At Coney Island precautions have been taken against a visit of sharks.
 Four persons now have been killed by a man. eating shark and two m aimed along the New Jersey coast during the last ten days.

IS POUNDS OF BLOOD

IS the average quantity in healthy
adult, but it is the quality Of the blood
that determines our strength to resist
sickness. With weak blood we find
cold hands and chilly feet; in children
an aversion to study, and in adults
rheumatic tendencies. IA ~
In changing seasons get abundant
fresh air and take a spoonful Of SCOTS
Emulsion after meals, because SCOTS
Emulsion is rich blood-food that will
increase both quantity and quality of
the blood while it warns the body and
helps carry off the impurities.
When multitudes of people are to-
day taking SCOTS Emulsion to avert
winter sickness, and are giving it to
their children, it is careless to neglect
its benefits. Look out for substitutes.
