Why We Have Tired,
WORKOUT Nerves and Thin
Blood in the Springtime
(By DR.. S. w. Bower.)

At this time of the year most people
suffer from a condition often called
Spring Fever. They feel tired, worn out,
before the day is half thru. They may
have frequent headaches and sometimes
"pimpy" or pale skin and white lips.
The reason for this is that during the
wintertime, shut up within doors, eating
too much meat and too little green vege-
tables, one heaps fuel into the system
which is not burned up and the clinkers
remain to poison the system-a cloggng
up of the circulation, with inactive liver
and kidneys.
The best means to oil the machinery
of the body, put tone into the liver, kid
neys and circulatory system. is to first
practice good housekeeping. 1 know
of nothing better as a purge than veg
etable pill made up of May apple. leaves
of aloe and jalap. This is commonly sold
by all druggists as DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets, and should be taken at least once
a week to clear the twenty-five feet in
testnes.
For an invigorating tonic which will

body, sparkle to the eyes. and whole

grape root and Wild cherry bark This
can be had in convenient. ready-to-use
form at all drug stores. in tablets or
liquid, and has been sold for the past
nifty years as DIR. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery. BY reason of the nerves
feeding on the blood, when the blood is
pure the nerves feel the effect and neu-
ralgia or other nerve pains disappear be-

nerves for food.-Adv.

Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully, if
you want to keep your hair looking it's
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali- This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water. and rub it
in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle Of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly. and 1t leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky. bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
Won can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
anv pharmacy, it's very cheap. and a
fa,,, ounces will supply every member
If the family for months.-Adv.

CAVALRY HORSES
 ARE DYING IN
 GREAT NUMBERS
Mortality Rate Among Steeds in France Reaches
 70 Per Cent.

Toulouse, France, June 30-Cavalry horses have been dying in large mum bers from mysterious disease in diff ferent regions of the south of France. The mortality has reached 60 per cent. to 70 per cent. of new contin- gents arriving at Toulouse. Albi, Bor- deaux, Narbonne and Perpignan. Horses apparently sound and well when they are unloaded from the cars die so soon after being stabbed that it is impossible to treat them. This situation dates from 1914, soon after the declaration of war. The mortal ity was greatest in the spring of 1915 and it is still alarming.
 Horse dealers and veterinaries of Toulouse have been unable to account for this strange epidemic. Some vet erinaries assume that it is an infec- tious influenza; others suspect that a subtle means of slow poisoning is practiced on the animals while en route from the farm to the cavalry depot.

RAILROADS WIN PARTIAL RAISES
 IN RATE BATTLE
General Increase Denied But Eastern Roads
 Rates Jumped

WaShington, June 3O-Railroads of the country are generally in flourish ing condition and not dependent on freight increases for continued pros perity, the interstate commerce holds in it's decision. denying the roads ap- plication for a 1 5 per cent. advance in rates.
 Although refusing general relief, the commission indicated it's willing ness to increase class rates in the eastern district approximately 14 per cent. This virtually allows eastern carriers about four per cent. in gross freight revenue, as about one-fourth of the freight handled is moved un- der class rates. All roads are to be allowed a, 15 per cent. increase on coal, coke and iron.
 Arguments of the roads that they are suffering because of wartime con- ditions received but little sympathy from the commission.
