AMERICANS HAVE STRONG NERVES
Nervousness and Nerve Troubles on the Decline

Nothing wrong buty our nerves" this country. While nerve trouble is no organic disease, one of our leading nerve specialists remarked: "A man or woman might better break a leg than have shattered nervous sys- tenn"
 Overwork and worry drains the nerve cells of their reserve strength and food, and then follows the sleep less night, indigestion, poor appetite, impure blood and general nervous breakdown.
 The thing to do in such cases no longer troubles doctors and their pa tients who know from their own ex- perience the value of Phosphated Iron. They know that a few weeks regular use of this nerve food and red h.ood builder will strengthen and brace up the whole nervous system, because Phosphated Iron gives the l tired, hungry worn-out nerve cells phosphates and iron, in a form easily and quickly absorbed! as one happy user said: You can almost feel ii taking hold of the nerves and blood after short. time you feel like g i new person.; life seems a pleasure and worth living once again.
 In every section where Phosphated Iron has been used there has beer a big decrease of nerve troubles and it will prove a welcome relief to any sufferer. You can bank on it fol results-it's pure.
 To insure physicians and their pa tients getting the genuine Phosphate6 Iron we have put up in capsules only do not take pills or tablets. Insis on capsules.

It's YOUR War.

BECAUSE you can't be an ID ambulance driver, a Red cross nurse, or a soldier in the trenches, is no reason why it isn't your war.
 On the contrary, you do as much by watching out for food economy and by investing what you save in Thrift Stamps, or Bonds. Van Dyk's is the shop for you.

Ship Of the Desert.

Because of its peculiar swaying mo.
ton In walking, the camel has been
called the 'ship of the desert" This
title may also have some reference to
the extreme stupidity and passiyity of
the animal, says Popular Science
Monthly, which submits to great
loads, which 1t will often carry for
days at q time without stopping for
food or drink, with no more urging
than a ship would require from the
hands Of its pilot.
The manner in which the drivers
hobble the camels when they stop for
a rest is interesting. They do not de.
pend upon stakes driven in the deem
yielding sand, but simply double back
and tie one end Of the forelegs of the
animal, SO that it can lie down or rise
up, but cannot move from the SPOT.

ON GUARD

AT this time of the year people feel
weak, tired, listless, their blood is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and .backaches, have
clear eyes, smooth, ruddy skin, and
feel the exhilaration Of real good health
dngling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood is the best insurance
against Ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
erlshed blood. 1t is to be noticed In the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.
Drink hot water a half hour before
meals, and for vegetable tonic there's
nothing better than DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the old-fashioned
herbal remedy, which has had such
nne reputation for fifty years. It con-
tains no alcohol or narcotics. It Is
made from Golden Seal root, Blood
root, Oregon grape root, Queens root,
Black Cherry bark, extracted with gly-
Serlne and made into tablets and liquid.
Tablets sixty cents, at most drug stores.

Blue threw up his head, lifted his
heels, and ran like q scared jackrab-
bit over the uneven ground. They
were not keeping to the trail at all !;
trails were too tame for them In that
rood. They ran along the rim-rock
ut the last, where Billy Louise could
glance down, now and then, at the
river sliding like q bright blue ribbon
with icy edges through the gray. snow

"Hold on. Blue!" Billy Louise
pulled up on the reins. "Quit 1t, you

Blue had caught sight Of the moving
specks far down next the river and up
the stream half q mile or more. He
was q cow-horse to the bone. He knew
those far-off specks for cattle, and he
knew that his lady would like closer

Blue chose his trail and crumpled
at the knees with his hoofs on the very
edge Of the ledge; went down with q
cat-jump and landed with all four feet

quite as much as did his lady.
The cattle spied them and went trot-
ting away up the river, and Blue quick
ened his stride little and followed
after. Billy Louise left the reins upon
his neck. Blue could handle cattle
alone quite as skillfully as with a
rider, II he chose.
The cattle began to swerve away
from them, closer to the river. Blue
pulled ahead a little, swerving also,
and as Billy Louise tightened the
reins, he slowed and circled them craft

bank. uncertain which way to go. Billy
Louise pulled Blue down to walk as
she drew near and eyed the cattle

cows and two steers.
