has been demonstrated hundreds
upon hundreds of times that the
medical profession knows no form of
treatment that will do for the va
rious forms OF Nervous trouble what
Oxygen Napor will do. Tho most
natural, rational and effective means
of curing Nervous troubles is by
oxidizing and purifying the blood
stream. Drugs act merely as stimu-
lants to the nerves in these cases,
just as alcohol will stimulate the
drunkard, and when the temporary
stimulation has passed there is a
depression In exact proportion to ~

ultimate result is TO make the condi-

OLDEST ENLISTED MAN
IN SOUTH DAKOTA

F1andreau. S. D., March Thames
Gillette, aged 81, of Moody county, en-
joys the distinction of being the old
est man in South Dakota to enlist in
the active military service of the coun-
try. A few days ago he ~journeyed to
Pipestone, Mimi, and enlisted and from
information received by his South Da-
ltota friends he has beer accepted.
and assigned to duty in a motor truck
company. 1t is expected he soon will
be sent to France. Gillette came to
Moody county with his parents when
a youth and settled on a homestead
north of %Flandreau, which was his res
idence up to the time he answered the
call of the country for fighting men.
notwithstanding his advanced age, he
is expected to give many OF the
youngsters a good russell when it
comes to fighting the Germans. Moody
county claims more enlistments per
capita of population than any other
county In the state and the oldest en-
listed man in active field service
