Real Health Means More
Than Ability to Work

Probably the majority of men do
not know what real health means.
1t means more than the capacity to
sit up and eat, to walk, to board a
car and to bend over a desk. Real
health means more than the real
ability to do the same thing day af-
ter day. Real health means de-
gree of stirring, nervous energy that
enables one to think new thoughts,
conceive new plans and initiate new
enterprises. .Superabundant nervous
energy is back of exceptional mental
activity. 1t is the basis of all those
qualities which are most essential in
the struggle for success.
II is not sufficient to have health

of Topeka is the plaintiff in two suits
brought in the district court of this
county to recover on two notes given
by Salina men, each for $500. The
first case is brought against H. F.
Baier, a Salina jeweler, who made
the note; George Ripke, j. Austin
Strange and c. B. Kirkland. The note
was executed August 20. last year,
ran for six months and drew per
cent interest Before it became due
it was Endorsed to the Bank of To-
peka by the three men to whom it
was made payable. Payment was
refused at the Traders State bank OF
this city and the note was protested,
making all the men liable, the petit
ton states.
The second suit is for the collection
of a note made by G. A Taylor, of
Vesper, to Strange. Ripke and Kirt-
land. 1t likewise ran six months
ano drew per cent interest. 1t was
also Endorsed to the Ban kof Topeka,
