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 strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to 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-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t Is free from alcohol.

WADE FLAYS
"SLACKERS'
FEDERAL JUDGE, IN lNSTRUcTING
GRAND JURORS, WARNS
AGAINST DEFIANCE OF U. s.

Davenport. June 2s-Judge Martin
J. Wade, addressing the special ses-
sion of the United States district court
grand jury here this week, gave num-
Der of recommendations for observ.
anoe of patriotism and loyalty. The
jurors, among whom are Ferdinand
Ostdiek, Ed O'Brien and Charles Knapp
of Ottumwa, are in session to lnvest1-
gate 200 or more alleged cases Of
"slackers' from SCOTT, Clinton and
Muscatine counties.
The court told the jurors not to get
the impression that condition Of fail
ure to register because of defiance Of
the government was general because
it Is not. He said 1t was sufficient to
remark that such persons who bear a
grudge against the government and ex-
press 1t by evading registration will
be found out If 1t takes year or more
and their chances for leniency grow
less each day.
Few Cannot Dominate.
people in this country must learn
that few mon cannot dominate the
hundred million people Of the United
States. The government has pre-
scribed this registration for all men
of the given ages and those who object
to the duty will have to learn that in
this country the majority rules and out
of respect for the laws, the minority
must yield in this matter as IN all
others"
Judge Wade commented Slightly on
the attitude Of the pro-German press
Of the United States when he said:
Among the newspapers of the count
try we find number who are decided
ly pro-German in that they laud every
slight act of the enemy and give but
little space to the achievements of our
army navy and government The acts
OF these papers border on treason and
the grand turies of this court may at
some future date have the work Of In
vestigating them.
Hits compIa,ners.
The Judge concluded by a state
ment referring to the meaning Of loyal
ty when he said, There are hundreds
of men In this country who could set
tie this whole war in "a hours II they
were given a chance. They are always
complaining of the failure Of the gov
eminent to make them the real lead
ers. They spend most Of their time sit
ting on dry goods boxes while their
wives do their work. Such lack Of
loyalty is detrimental to the good Of
the nation. do not believe there is
man in Iowa in whose heart there Is
such lack of loyalty that he would
consider 1t a splendid thing for Ger
many to win this war. II there is such
a man who harbors that thought. and
he is found out, he should be dealt
with as traitor Of the worst type"

Urged to Lay in Coal Supply
for Winter at Present Price

Coal dealers Of Ottumwa are watch
ing with interest the action OF the
government to regulate the price OF
coal. The dealers claim that the OPP
orators are getting prices out Of pro
portion to the cost Of mining and that
If the government regulates the cost
Of coal that 1t will be great help to
the dealers.
One dealer is Of the opinion that
regulating the price of coal will not
lower the cost here but will limit the
production. The consumer Is in an
awkward position. One faction is urg-
ing that the householder refrain from
buying at present so as to allow the
government to regulate and reduce the
prices. The state defense council, rail
roads and part Of tho dealers are urg-
ing that the winter supply be obtained
now at the present price. They claim
that while the prices may be but a
trifie higher the demand will be large
in the fall and 1t will be hard to OBJ
tain coal.
The dealers are now paying 1925 q
ton at the mines. They say that the
expenses incurred In delivering Is
about $1.60, which does not include the
overhead expense Of the concern.
While a great many Ottumwa fam
lilies have needed the advice Of the
