Without strong nerves you lose your
magnetism, force and courage. You
feel your own weakness and others
know that you are weak. Trifling
things annoy you-this Is a sure sign
OF nerve exhaustion.
Some people are born with q very
small amount of nervo-vital fluid, be-
cause their nerve force has been
squandered by the lives lead by their
ancestors. Others use up their nerve force
faster than the body can make II.
When your nerve force becomes weak

heir normal strength and vigor and as a
result, all kinds OF alarming symptoms
may appear. From the pains across the

after they got to the room there were

more noise than usual in going up

hardly been slammed shut when pitt

merely turned over on the other side

Is at his tricks again."
But the screams grew louder and

too late for him to open the door.

VAST ROAD BUILDING PROGRAM.

The officials and citizens of Iberia
Parish may not realize, perhaps, that
through the sum of $473,O0O which
they are reported as contemplating
spending or as voting to spend in
the near future for Parish roads
they will share to no little extent in
carrying out the greatest era of road
building and street construction in
history and are helping their fellow
Americans realize a laudable ambi-
tnon to make American highways
the finest in the world.
Carefully compiled statistics based
upon reports received during August,
September, October and November,
1921, from 1901 states, counties,
townships and municipalities show
that the industrial depression that
has existed during the past year has
effected the road building program

1 wrll ask you to- remember that the
whole history of the modern world
from the first second of the year one
to the last second Of the year 1920
has been compressed into 1,OO9, 1924, 4SC
minutes.
Now let us suppose that with the
permission Of the Roman authorities
the United States had established q
disbursing officer at Jerusalem on the
first day of the year one with instruc-
lions to pay out IS minute day and
night, Sundays and holidays included,
right down through the centuries to
New Years day, 1921.
Suppose he had been given $685.
OO5,7 to start him on his long spell
of spending. That is one estimate of
the sum that it cost to run this gov
eminent in 1920. On the morning OF
January 1, 1921, this mythical disburs-
ing officer. giving money away at the
rate of s. minute, woul have spent
only S5,O49, 122, 400, and would still
be one of the richest men in the
world, for he would have left on
hand $636, $3.50, 3O6 of the original sum.
Paying out at the rate of S. minute
for more than 1900 years, he would
not have kept pace with the cost Of
upkeep Of this government for the one
single year 1920
Suppose this imaginary government
spender had been authorized to pay
out at the rate of $23 minute through
the centuries. He would not have
finished, On January 1, 1921, paying
for our share Of the cost of the World
war by some $7S4,O36, 800. He would
have that much left over after paying
out $23 ,225, 963, O4O. He would have been
paying out nearly 40 cents every sec
ond the clock licked for more than 10
centuries without being able to dis
charge our share Of the World war
cost.
Do you ever bother your head about
these bushels and bushels Of dollars
that you contribute to the support Of
the government? You earned them.
You know whether they came easily or
not. Do you know where they 60
after they leave you, how they are
spent, whether wisely or foolishly3
It's all your money, contributed for the
proper and economic conduct Of your
business. There Is no such thing as
government money. The government
never earned a cent.
You own the government and you
support it, and 1t is merely admins
tered by men of your selection. I
have always been puzzled about why
you do not take an active and eager
interest in what becomes Of your
money that you pay in taxes.

Reports show that during the past

total of $242, 1894, 1923, of which the
sum Of s211, 18O,7OO is for roads and
$31,813,923 for streets. In addition,
the American taxpayers, during Aug

new streets and roads and the public

The mid-term graduation of the

tive; Simon Gary, Frank Guillot,

The total enrolment of the New
