Weak nerves rob men and women of
all the joy of life and quickly reduce the
strong and robust to ndition which is
pitiabIe in the extreme. This condition is
brought about slowly and stealthily in the
majority of cases, and the poor sufferer
fails to realize what is wrong until faulty
memory, indecision, Jack of desire for work
or recreation, insomnia some other I'M
mistakable symptom indicates weak,
nerves. 1t is then that many people make
of so-called nerve tonics, alcoholic stimu-
lants or drugs. Nothing could be more
harmful or more dangerous. The nerves
are weak and exhausted; they need food
and nourishment-not drugs that will lash
them into temporary activity. Feed your
nerves and they will become strong again
and your health will improve in conse-
quence. That is the advice of present day
physicians and specialists, and the nerve
food they recommend is just one 5-gr.

advice but its excellence has been proved
over and over again, and, as a package
containing sufficien. bitro-phosphate tab

FIGHT FOR OIL LAND
Big Companies Go to Court Over
Lease on School Site

Controversy concerning drilling
rights on an acre and a half of Butler
county land brought a half dozen big
corporation lawyers before the state
supreme court today. The land which
caused the trouble is the site of rural
school district No. 81, just across the
road from the rich Shumway lease
and surrounded by big producing
wells of the Empire Oh. & Gas Co.
There is a real legal row concerning
the rights of various parties to drill
on the rather barren looking spot that
was once the playground of the coun-
try school children. Now the land is
neio TO be worth several hundred
thousand dollars. 1t is surrounded
by some of the biggest producing oil
wells In the rich Butler county field
The supreme court did not go into the
real issue concerning the rights of
lease claimants, but in stipulation
To-Day set the case for hearing at the
April term of court. 1t also provided
that drilling might progress but that
all production should be held and
neither gas nor oil marketed
Lawyers in the case agreed that the
school district lease, as well as wells
on surrounding leases should be drill
ed only to cap rock and that produc-
ton should be held back pending a
final decision in the case. The school
land lease is claimed by the Revert
OIL company. Patrons of the school
are interested in the case and the

concerned. Chester I. Long, John
