WHY We ARE NERVOUS

In perfect health we hardly realize
that we have a network Of nerves, but
when strength is declining the same
nervous system gives the alarm IN
headaches, tiredness, dreamful sleep,
irritability, and unless corrected, leads
straight to a breakdown.
Scott's Emulsion is exactly what you

He reviewed the work of the past
five years since he and Mrs. Brown

QUINN IS CLEARED
At INVESTIGATION
BY SENATE PROBE
Matter Resolves Itself as to
Whether Forbes Exercised
Proper Discretion

Did Charles F. Forbes, as superin-
tendent Of public works, use proper
discretion In the giving OF minor
plumbing jobs to Senator E. w. Quinn
because of the fact that Quinn had
the major contract and was on the job

This is the question that has come
forth from a mass of testimony given
today and yesterday to the senate pub

work on the new territorial prison.

finished, according to Chairman s. p.

No Blame for Quinn
And so far as Senator Quinn is con-
cerned, he is exenerated from any
blame In connection with the work.
This was the statement of the ma

day Quinn was merely called in as
a reliable business man, and there is
nothing to show that he was mixed up
in any graft" with the superintendent
Of works, or that he was In "cahoots"
with him.
K. Q. Smith, superintendent of con,

morning He gave it as his opinion

done by contract and that the price
