Do Not Waste Nervous Strength and

The immediate cause OF neuralgia
is poison in the blood, Therefore our
object is to keep the blood pure and
healthy, as it is only Wien the blood
Is poor that the neuralgia poisons de-
yelop in 1t. Poor blood IS caused by
lack Of sleep, lack of fresh air, improp-
er food and oyerfatigne, by too little
exercise and by mental worry.
Nothing is easier to say than Don't
worry" and few things so difficult to
carry out But by don't worry the
doctors mean do not waste valuable
nervous strength ana energy in fret
ting over things beyond your control.

Our Waste Places.

Taking care of the waste places"
is the way w. H. Jeffrey, secretary
of the state board OF charities and
probation. would describe his work if
he were asked to summarize 1t in a
brief sentence, But the work Mr..
Jeffrey is doing cannot be thus brief
ly described, nor can this be done
within the proper confines of an edI.
torial. 1t may be limited at, the high
points outlined and most anyones
imagination can sketch in the details.
jeffrey is looking into the human
waste places; is lending the state
helping hand to the unfortunate in
LIES race. And he finds them right
under the noses of respectable people
who don't imagine they exist so close
at hand, who never have been really
awakened to unpleasant facts that
are so noticeable as to go unnoticed

The Pepper Vine,

The pepper vine grows best in a
wooded valley where there is plenty Of
moisture and abundant foliage to pro-
tect it from the heat Of the SUM-. 1t is
given a rude sort of cultivation. The
growers plant it, keeping the grass
from its roots, and when the tree near
which it is planted has no lower
branches strings or poles are placed in
proper position to enable the vine TO
climb the tree. 1t needs no further at
