BLOOD AS 4 NERVE TONIC

''If people would only attend to their blood, instead of worrying themselves ill.," said an eminent nerve specialist, Eve doctors should not see our consult- ing rooms crowded with nervous wrecks. More people suffer from worry than from anything else.'
 The sort of thing which the specialist spoke of is the nervous rundown con- dition caused by overwork and the many anxieties of today. Sufferers find themselves tired, morose, low spirited, unable to keep their mind on anything. Any sudden noise hurts like blow. They are full of ground. less fears and cannot sleep at nj ght.
 ,Doctoring the nerves with poisonous sedatives is terrible mistake. The only real nerve tonic is good supply of rich blood. Therefore the treatment for rneurasthenia, nervousness, and rum down health is the new rich blood which pr. Williams Pink Pills are able to make. The revived appetite, improved spirits and new strength which come after 8 few dsys' use of the pills will delight every sufferer.

HELPING TO SAVE.

The chief end of family thrift Is 10
spend less than earned, TO lay by
something for tomorrow's needs.
Each person i'm the family must help
in carrying out the pan 'of saving
adopted. This cooperation can only
be worked out when the purpose OF
saving is explained to the children.
Suppose you have a son twelve years
old who wants TO help educate him
self. If he can earn $4,000 during
vacation and after school hours, and
will put that money in the savings
bank. adding similar amount the
next summer and so on, he will have
over $4,000 by the time he is ready to
go to college
Mr.. John Oskeson cites an interest
ing case of Kansas parent who UNI
dertook, when his boy was six years
old, to begin the college education

put twenty-five cents a day in the
bank (s9l.25 year,. AS soon as the
boy began to get any money he was
supposed TO contribute TO this twenty
FIVE cents day and for some years
he put in more than did his father.
In thirteen years they had more than
$4,000 in the fund. The father said,
in speaking OF the experiment, II
never saw anything Impress the boy

has ground into his nature the value
and power OF steady saving

sition.

NEwErras NEW TRusT.

Well. welll Here's our old friend
George Newett suggesting church
trust. We always Knew George
TO be an expert upon consultations
but we never thought that he would
tackle job so big that Morgan,
| Schwab or even Louie Breitung
would pass up. Whew, just walt
until the preachers get to sched-
uling their plants for Mr.. Newett. No
water in that consolidation. There
may be some hot air.
We suspect that Pat o'Brien will be
appealed TO. TO push an enabling act
through the legislature. Just imagine
Pat pushing bill for Newett's
Heavenly Trust after the un-Godly
way George printed that sale bill a
year ago.
Then. there's the need OF real God
fearing law expounder to duck all the
kinks in the@HStions laws against
trusts. Figuring George will run true
to the newspaper gang. we should ex-
pect him TO pick one OF the Escanaba
bunch; they've had more experience
with the law down there than any
other newspapermen that we know OF,
AS Johnny Norton hobnobs with the
"wets" and Ivy English is neither
"wet" nor dry the choice will prob
ably fall upon Frank Baldwin.
We once heard Peter White say
that John Wilson could polish up a
copper mine better than any man
he ever knew SO we'll just tip John
OFF TO Brother Newett as the proper
man to write the prospectus for the
new trust. When IL comes To hand
ling the advertising who but our own

drews is equal to the task. Then well
all get out our pencils and what time
we'll have figuring out an exchange OF
advertising for common stock-we
take II that the preferred will all be
reserved.
And, all George will have TO do Is
TO stick around, sprout pair OF wings
and play golf with the angels.

PROGRESS OF DEMOCRACY.
At the Vienna congress of 1915 when
the disturbances in Europe caused by
the twenty stormy years of Napoleon
were settled. boundary lines fixed and
deposed monarchs returned to their
thrones. Alexander ii. Gar Of Russia
at that time. was insistent that a
league OF nations be formed to insure
monarchical government in Europe
and guarantee to each monarch the
stability OF his throne.
So firmly fixed was the Romonon
dynasty that autocratic government
seemed assured in Russia for centur-
les TO come.
One hundred years after the peace
of Vienna went into effect we witness
the abdication OF Alexander's success
sor, the end OF autocratic rule in Rus
STA II not indeed the end OF Romonoff
dynasty. S urely democracy has made
great strides in Europe and II looks

ahead many years.
