Let nc save you from the scrap
heap.
doctor, | am not sicl~, but I don't
feel right That is what many say
to me when they come to see me the
first time And that just expresses
it. You are not sick enough to go
to bed. You can eat, you can sleep,
you can work.
But you don't work with the vim
and zest of former days. Your sleep
is not restful, and you don't enjoy
your food as you once did. And your
nerves get the best of you. Things
bother you, ruffle you, that you never
noticed before. You begin to see diff
fculticS where there really are none
Trifes worry you, and not having
enough troubles Of your own, you
borrow some.
OF course, to a casual observer, you
seem the same, because you are try
ing to control yourself. And if you
should tell a friend, or go to an in
experienced DOCTOR they will tell you
you only imagine things; YOU should
shake it off. You begin to doubt your
self. You sometimes think they are
right and try to brace up. and be
bright and cheerful But then your
old feeling will come back with re-
newed vigor. You begin to wonder
if it really is your mind only. And if
it is so, is it the first step to insan-
ity? Anguishing thoughts begin tor
turing you; you are trying your best
to fight them down, to appear happy,
but in vain. You find yourself in
the grip OF an invisible power that
seems to sap your life blood.
And when you feel your strength
energy and power slipping away from
you, when you find you can't do JUS
tice to your work any longer, then
you become respondent and might
even feel tempted to end it all.
You are very much in the same
condition as a delicately constructed
engine which has not been cared for
right. Put it in the hands of an Elk
perienced man and he will soon have
it in fine working order. But trying
your own hand at it, or turn it over
to an unskilled person, and it will
soon be fit for the scrap heap.

THE British assertion that ship

incorrect To July 1, 1918, the en-

WASHINGTON, July 30.-Reports
that Turkey has broken with Ger
many, though unconfirmed here, to-
day gave increased evidence that all
is not well at Germany's back door.
Authorities inclined to doubt that
there had been an actual split be-
tween the nations- But they did ad-
nit that there was sufficient SEM

dicate that Turkey is increasingly
imperious in her demands on Ger
many and Bulgaria
have shown that the Turks were
reaching out with greedy hands for
territory, now that the Teutonic en-
tente considered Russia and Ru-
mania fair spoils. This has engen-
dered bitterness in Germany.
It Is doubted that Turkey would
split with Germany without first try
ing to strike bargain with the
allies.
Reports that King Ferdinand Of
Bulgaria has departed mysteriously,
constitute another angle Of the tur-
moi brewing among Germanys
friends.
This government Is stfIl awaiting

demands for information as to the

It is likely some of the Turkish

group predominates, officials say.
AS to Bulgaria, it was pointed ont
that the prospect of Balkan distri-
button In the peace conference Is
disturbing her. She is in no position

LONDON, July 30.-News of the
German defeat in the Soissons-
Rheims district is being fed to the
German public in camo1flaged alibls.
THE results are varied. There is

he denounces.
From neutral sources come re
ports of what is being fed to the
people of Germany. One former
member of the general staff, in
written article, explains:
1--WE aimed to inflict the heaviest
possible losses on the enemy, while
shortening our line"
