Prominent physicians claim people
fail in life because of nerve hunger"
that it is the active bright-eyed. strong
nerved man or woman who is there"
at work or play.
Strong. well nourished nerves is the
great secret Of success, health and hap
piDess.
Men and women try to live regardless
of health, strength. ambition. energy
and hope. they exceed the speed limits,
wasting nerve strength and energy and
fail TO store up reserve force, afterwards
they only exist. life has no joys.
Without energy, ambition, strong
nerves, and pure blood one can not hope
to enjoy the fullest measure of success
and happiness.
A noted specialist says. "Phosphated
Iron brings strength to the blood.

car with license plate numbered
"53142" would have a straight, ~
3-4-5." He who drew 31311 would
have a full house, three aces and

is won, the players start all over
again and get the figures on the
license plates of more cars as they
pass.
Many funny incidents occur. Last
night, the automobile poker game
was being played in the 1900 block
A machine bearing the number

driver halted it to speak to pass

It's a great game, these warm
nights, particularly since the order
has gone out that the cigar store
card games must cease.

her profile in time to reciprocate
his cordial greeting. In reply to
his question to the idea of the fur

81 am about to fan back to Gary.
Why? Well"-and she smiled
that would be telling. But, I'll
give you a quiet tip-the good

a coquettish uplifting of the eye

and one more of the former Second

checked off the list.

that dropped into tho Hudson River
about a week ago. and of which nothing
has been heard since. is believed by
the Duchess county authorities and by
Col. Wheeler OF the Mineola aviation
field to be the most promising clue to
the disappearance of Capt Mansell

the telegraph operator at Highland

the water shortly before dark. The men

PET TULIPS
STOLEN FROM PARK
Two Cops Face Trial for Per-
hitting Theft.

However deleterious II may be
to public policy to bawl out crooks in
the public prints, the shocking and
shameful fact must be revealed that
somebody has swiped Hizzoner's pet tu-
lips, the radiant and lovely tulips that
glowed with beauty nowhere else dis
coverable except, perhaps, under Hiz-
zoner's own hat.
Science knew them as Michaelo ru-
fus, proud distinction due to their hav-
ing been encarnadined with sunset. They
grew, only little while ago. under the
Mayors window at the City Hall, and Il

running to and fro in the City Hall and
a great buzzing at Police Headquarters.
Commissioner Enright, Deputy Commits
sioner Leach, Inspector Cray and six
veteran sleuths arrived in motor cars,
examined the looted flower bed and In
formed the Mayor that unquestionably
the tulips were missing.
A pair of City Hall Park cops, Alex

whose Job had been to guard the little
red mikes OF the tulip family were
questioned as to how 1t was possible
for marauders to invade HiEzoner's own
gardens and pinch their most precious
ornament. They couldn't answer The
flowers had been lifted root and bloom
while their backs were turned. There

tried for failing to prevent, discover or

trial was to have been held yesterday

Commissioner John A. Leach, but Weln-

be tried and they postponed the case
