Why People With Weak
Nerves and Thin Blood
80 Often Fail in Life and Trampled Down by Strong
Keen, Red.Blooded Men with Nerves of Steel.

Without strong nerves you lose your
magnetism. force and courage. You
feel your own weakness and others
know that you are weak. Trifing
things annoy you--this is q 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 squan-
dered by the lives led by their ances-
tors. Others use up their nerve force
faster than the body can make IL.
When your nerve force becomes weak
ened, all the vital organs of your body lose
their normal strength and vigor and as
result. all kinds OF alarming symptoms
may appear. From the pains across the
back. one person thinks he has kidney
trouble; another may think his spine Is
injured because of the tender spots which
in the lower part OF head leads another to
think he is going to have paresis and from
the diss grccable fullness or pressure in tho
front OF his head. another feels lie is going
TO die from high blood pressure. Sleep
lessness and nervous irritability. heart
palpitation and indigestion are very COM
mon symptoms. Naturally your strength,
rigor. endurance and brain power are all
greatly weakened, and in such condition
you are in no position to compete with the
strong. keen red-biooded man with nerves
OF steel. When You lack nerve force there
IS only one thing that is going to help you
and that is more nerve force In cases
OF nerve force exhaustion in. which your
nerve and fbr ain cells are starving for want
OF sufficient supply of nerve force or
nervo-vital huid. 1t il worse than foolish

Williamsburg, Va, April 3.-The in
terror Of the historic presidents house

Furnishings were also considerably
damaged by water.
The presidents house was built in
1882 and was the headquarters Of GEN
eral CORVALLIS prior to the siege of
Yorktown. Tonights fire was similar
to one which in 1881 destroyed the in
terror and left only the walls standing

officers serving with Washington.

the executives Of the college for more
than century and three-quarters and

Grave of Lincoln's
Grandfather Found

Louisville. KY. April 3-The
grave of Abraham Lincoln, grand
father to the martyred President,
has been found in a churchyard near
here, is the belief of several Louis
Williams who recently have completed
an extensive investigation.
The investigators found two stones
their inscriptions blotted away by
long exposure to the clements
which they believe mark the grave
Of the Emancipator's grandfather,
who was killed by Indians in 1856
within. sight of his cabin and before
the eyes of his three sons.
According to r. c. Ballard Thurs
ton, who has made preliminary in
vestigation of deeds in the Jefferson
county courthouse. the examination
warrants the belief the land COM
posing the chufchyard is part of the
Lincoln property, which included 400
acres.

homestead farm in the Catskills
where John Burroughs was born,
lived and was buried. today became
national memorial to him lii a
simple ceremony attended by several
hundred Of those who knew or ad-
mired the naturalist.
Trudging up the snow-covered
mountain side came villagers from
| all along the valley and others from
various parts of the state. They as
esmbled around the rustic fence that
guards the last resting place of the
naturalist and the "boyhood rock"
that is his tombstone. Poems by
| Burroughs. by his friend Walt Whit
man and others who wrote of ma
lures wonders were read.
Then his grandchildren. Ursula
and John Burroughs, unveiled a
bronze memorial tablet, imbedded In
the "boyhood rock" The tablet, the
work of c. s. Paulo OF New York is
a bas relief copy of that sculptor
summit of the waves" picturing the
naturalist seated upon the "boyhood
rock" and looking into the distance,
one hand shading his eyes. It bears
these two lines from Burrough' S
poem, Wandering"
II stand amid the eternal ways,
And what is mine shall know my
face"
When the ceremony came to close
wild flowers gathered from the fields
and the hills Of states nearby and as
distant as California were placed upon
the grave. There were jumpers pluck
cd from the resting place Of Walt
Whitman at Camden. n. j., and flow
ers grown beside the cottage at La
Jolla, California, where Burroughs
lived year ago Just before starting
| toward home-a trip in the midst of
which he died.
Other floral tokens came from Henry
Ford, who recently bought the Bur
roughs farm that it might be preserved
as memorial, and from Thomas A.
Edison. Neither Mr.. Ford nor Mr..
Edison, who for many years were va
cation comrades of the naturalist, were
able to attend the ceremony today.
| A Hall Of Fame of trees was
| planted today by the John Burroughs
Clubs of Washington in the grounds
of the Lincoln Memorial to mark the
semi-centcnnial of the first observ-
ance of Arbor Day in the United
States. Today was also the birth date
Of the naturalist. The trees were reg
| istcrcd on the honor roll of the Ameri-
can Forestry Association in memory
! of Burroughs, Audubon, Whitman,
Muir, Thoreau and Emerson. Theo-
| dore Roosevelt, who as a boy knew
| Burroughs, planted the red oak in his
| honor.

cided upon at the last meeting of the

ing to fight the soviet troops or make
peace. "In either case Japan would
suffer-" says the Asah'. IF they fight
the situation would lecome further

ONLY SLIGHT FALLING
OFF IN GOVT. RECEIPTS

Washington, Apr. 3-Despite a
falling off Of more than 100000, 600
in the expected government receipts
from income and profits taxes for
March. Secretary Mellon announced
tonight tnat the shrinkage in inter-
nal revenue collection for the fiscal
year ending next June so, was not
likely to be substantial. in view of
the collections of back taxes and in
creased collections of miscellaneous
internal revenue.
But for the fiscal year. 1923, Mr..
Mellon declared, the total collections
of income and profits taxes were
likely to be about 81, 500. 100000 in
stead of $1,715.000,000 as estimated
in the budget, or q falling off of
$215, 100000.
collections of income and profits
taxes during March 1922" he said.
"have amounted. on the basis of
daily treasury statments. to about
$393, 100000 as compared with esti-
mated income and profits taxes col
lections for the month of about
1927 100000. The estimate of $780,
100000 for March was based on the
figures for total collections for the
year which appeared In the budget,
though the treasury has always re-
garded these figures as subject to
much uncertainty because of the
shrinkage in business and profits
which occurredduring the calendar
year 1921.
1T is interesting to note that
March, 1922. collections in the Bos-
ton. New York. Philadelphia and San
Francisco federal reserve districts
were substantially in accordance
with expectations and that the chief
falling off occurred in the Cleveland,
Chicago and Richmond districts"
