What Women In Their
'sFOrties" Need

Many women approach the critical
changing period of their lives that
comes between the ages of forty and
fifty, unmindful of its tremendous i'm
portance to their future health and
happiness. Not understanding the
functional changes taking place In
their bodies. they work beyond their
strength, often break down, become
nervous wrecks, their bodies suffering
with fatigue and their weakened
condition capillary hemorrhage be-
comes excessive, this added drain COM
polling them to take to their beds from
nervous exhaustion.
What these women need is some
thing that will instantly relieve the
pressure on the overworked nerve Gen.
tiers and give them the vitality to stand
up under the grueling strain. Won
derfully effective results are given in
many such conditions by the simple
use of Mango Nerve Tablets, a skillfui
combination of seven of the best nerve
vitalizing elements known to modern
chemistry These little tablets con-
tain no dangerous habit-forming drugs
and are entirely harmless in their
action
Thousands of women can testify that
Mango Nerve Tablets strengthen the
jaded nerves, revive the tired brain
and put the energy and courage into
the body that enables one to stand up
under the unusual strain of the chang
ing period. Mango has to do these
things or it costs nothing as Thistle
thwaite Drug Stores and other leading
druggists sell it on a positive guaran-
tee or relief or money back.-Adv.

death of General George Washington.
The event SO distressing to all our
fellow citizens, must be peculiarly
heavy to you who have long been
associated with him in deeds of patri-
otism. Permit us, sir, to mingle our
tears with yours; on this occasion it
is manly to weep. To lose such a man
ity to the world. Our Country mourns
her Father The Almighty disposer
of human events has taken from us
our greatest Benefactor and ornament.
1t becomes us to submit with rever-
ence to him who "maketh darkness
his Pavilion" -.
with patriotic pride we review the
life of our Washington and compare
him with those of other countries who
have been pre-eminent in fame. An
cient and modern flames are diminish
ed before him. Greatness and guilt
have too often been allied, but his
fame is whiterIthan it is brilliant.
"Majesty Of His Virtue"
"The destroyers of nationals stood
abashed at the majesty of his virtue
It reproved the temperance of their
ambition and darkened the splendor
of victory. The scenes closed and we
are no longer anxious lest misfortune
should sully his Glory, he has travelled
on to the end of the journey, and car
ried with him an increasing weight OF
/ honour, he has deposited it safely
where misfortune cannot tarnish it
where malice cannot blast it. Favored
of heaven, he departed without exhibit
ing the weakness of humanity; mag
unanimous in death, the darkness OF
the grave could not obscure his bright
ness.
Such was the man whom we de-
plore-Thanks to God, his glory is
consummated, Washington yet lives
upon earth in his spotless example
his spirit is in Heaven.
Let his countrymen consecrate the
memory of the Heroic General, the
patriotic Statesman and the virtuous
sage let them teach their children to
never forget that the fruits of his
labours, and his example are their in
heritance."
Here is the speech made the Senate
by President Adams:
81 receive with the most respectful
and affectionate sentiments of the i'm
pressive address, the obliging express
ions of your regret, for the loss our
country has sustained in the death OF
our most esteemed, beloved and adj
mired citizen.
I'm the multitude of my thoughts
and recollections on this melancholy
event, you will permit me only to say
that l have known him in the days OF
adversely, in some of the scenes OF
deepest and most trying perplexities
I'have also attended him in the high.
