THE TONIC FOR
NERVOUS PEOPLE
How Undernourished Nerves May Be
Built Up and the Whole Nervous
System Strengthened and
Revitalized.

Nervous people who have not yet de-
veloped a disease that can be recognized
and treated by the medical profession
have the greatest trouble in finding re-
lief Irritation, headache, sleeplessness,
nervous dyspepsia, all these discomtortss
make life miserable but are endured
rather than run a doctors bill without
definite hope of recovery.
Every sufferer should know the dan
ger of such condition of the nervous
system. Nervous debility and even par
alysis may easily result if the tone OF
the nerves is not restored.
After suffering from nervousness for
fifteen years, Mr.. II. H. Emerson OF No.
20 Baker street, Dover, n. H., found re-
lief by building up his blood. Mr.. En-
erson saws, 81 was so nervous that |
could not do a days work without be-
ing all tired out Sleep was almost inn
possible as l would roll and toss all
night. / was a nervous wreck.
"yery often had bilious attacks and
severe sick headaches. A sharp pain
in NV left shoulder and dull pain
across both shoulder blades caused me
much distress. My blood was thin and
impure. 80
Il had taken great deal of medicine
but had not been helped An article IN
newspaper brought DIR. Williams Pink
Pills to my attention and | decided TO
try them.
f'By the time / had finished two boxes
7 knew that I was being helped. My
nerves are quieter than they have been
in years. sleep well and am refreshed
by nights rest. My general health
il good. ,,.
Il have great faith in DR. Williams
Pink Pills and am glad to recommend
them to any one needing a tonic for the
nerves"
The first thing to do when threatened
with nervous trouble is TO stop the
cause Of it, If possible, whether II is r.
regular living, worry, or whatever i
may be. Then the nerves must be CIV
en- special nourishment and the blood
must be kept pure and rich. This =
the mission Of Or. Williams Pink Piils
and this is why the pills have been ueed
with such great success in nervous trou'
bic that did not yield to ordinary meth
DDS of treatment.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain the
elements necessary TO make new blood
and, as the nerves get their nourish.

invaluable in wide range Of diseases

BARUcH RESIGNS.
Chairman of War Industries Board Asks
y to Be Relieved Jan. 1.

Washington, D, G., Dec. BERNARD NJ.
Baruch. chairman of the war industries
board, has forwarded his resignation to
President Wilson to take effect Jan. !.
There has been no announcement, how
ever, as to it's acceptance.
Mr.. Barlch's decision to retire is UNI
derstood to have no bearing on the re-
ported desire Of the president to name
him as secretary Of the treasury, but Is
in line with his known belief that the
affairs of the board can be closed by
the first Of the year,
The boards activities have been cur
tailed as rapidly as its relations with
industries would permit, and virtually
all restrictions placed on industries made
necessary to complete the war program
have been removed.

Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well,
should, each morning before breakfast,

teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it

Discovery Saves Live Stock.

Losses Of hundreds of sheep and cattle
by stock raisers in San Juan county,
New Mexico, we're explained when the
county agent discovered the whirled milk
weed and its poisonous properties. The
agent pointed out the plan to farmers
and stockmen, several meetings were
held to plan how to meet the danger,
and committees were appointed to in
spect every part of La Plata district,
which includes 10000 acres. By helping
the stockmen to locate and avoid the
weed, the agent hopes that serious loss
will be avoided.

NO MORE PASSES.
For New Jersey Officials After Jan. /,
1919.

Trenton. n j., Dec 1.-THE federal
railroad administration has decided that
the state law requiring railroads in New
Jersey to furnish passes to certain office
holders is Of no effect while Uncle Sam
is operating the railroads. Thus, after
Jan. |, 1919, certain New Jersey citizens
will either pay fare, walk, stay at home
or board In Trenton.
The governor, state senators, members
of the House Of Assembly judges OF the
higher courts, certain state officers 9TH
er than the executives have been cnti-
tied to these passes, as well as most
of the legislative employees.
Each year the Legislature either added
to or made an effort to enlarge the list.
The passes, it is said, were used
throughout the year by many holders
and were especially desirable to the
South Jersey resident who spent his
summer at the shore. Many of the Off
cials now commute to Trenton on their
passes.

FIRST, It is the duty of the
soldier to go out and stand in the

the same sublime courage of those
who have died for his cause and
the cause of France, which is the
cause Of civilization, fight until
that sacred cause is accomplished !;
SECOND, it is the duty of the

soldier to the front, feed him
there, keep him clothed, put a
gun in his hand, and supply that
gun with endless bullets; THIRD,
