HOW TO BUILD UP
ENFEEBLED NERVES

Radiant health is impossible as long
have absolute control of the body,
they regulate the activity of every or
gan, they direct the supply of nourish-
ment to every part. The movement OF
every muscle owes its origin to a
nerve.
1t is small wonder then that the gen
eral health suffers when the nerves fail,
as they do when their nourishment
becomes weak and insufficient. The
nerves get their food directly from the
blood. If the blood is weak and thin,
the nerves are slowly starved. The
most direct and effective way to tone
up the nervous system is to build up
the blood This can be accomplished
by the tonic which Mrs. Agnes Riddell,
of No. As Hill street, Saco, Maine,
endorses.

Aviators' Qualifications.

In England airmcn were apt to be
ardent hunters Of the fox and to have
what horsemen call "hands"-a quality
which as aviators enabled them to
know instinctively, as 1t were, what
an airplane was going to do before
1t did 1t. And, what will be shocking
to some folk, to keep the aviator in
best condition for his work and for
enduring it's terrible stresses, he seem
ed, according to these authorities, to
need "a really riOtous evening at
least once or twice month" The
older men were found to use alcohol
freely, but the younger ones required
no such stimulants, and they oil avoid
cd excess, being we'll aware that for
them the penalty was sudden death.
Marriage deteriorated the aviator by
increasing his sense Of personal re-
sponsjbility for others. Courage he
had, Of course, and n touch Of reck-
lessness is not undesirable from the
standpoint Of achievement in war;
