Remarkable Popular ignorant*.
Some one has remarked that a(
(he height of Napoleon’s fame then
were men In the back alleys of Parti
who had never heard his name. This
Illustration of popular Ignorance wai
recalled by a Judge who was examin
ing candidates for citizenship In New
fork city recently. He asked one of
these prospective citizens, "Who la
the head of your native country?"
“The king.” "Who becomes the head
when he dies?” "His son.” “And
who Is the head of this country?”
“The president.” “And who wo-..id
become the h*ad if he died?" “His
ion.” And ytt, as the Judge remark
ed, all these men know enough to
earn their dally bread—the rest is »
natter of schooling

it before you get the other papers.

Big Trade In Frozen Meat.
Argentina supplies 90 per cent, of
the frozen beef and frozen mutton
consumed in Sheffield, England. Ana
i tralla and New Zealand provide the
; remainder. Its use is constantly in- 1
creasing. Frosen meat is never sawed, !
' but it chopped with a cleaver. The 1
retailers receive the meat in quar- ■!
ters which they chop into angular !1
blocks, from which the quantities de- J
sired by customers are cut. These , ■
! blocks afford material for fine window |
displays, and the windows of frozen-' <
meat shops are generally piled high !

Woman Finally Recover*
From Nervou* Breakdown
Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge of a
complete nervous breakdown. It
is of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system in good con
dition, as the nerves are the source
of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna
Kounz, 2ti Mechanic St., Pueblo,
1,010., says:
“For many years I suffered from
nervous prostration; I was unable
to do any house work and doctors
failed to help me. Remedies I
tried from druggists did not do
me a particle of good. A neighbor
told my husband about
Dr. Miles’ Nervine
and he procured a bottle. After the
first few doses I showed a marked
improvement and after taking two
bottles I was entirely cured. I have
been perfectly well for years and
cannot praise Dr. Miies’ Nervine
too highly.”
If you are troubled with loss of
appetite, poor digestion, weakness,
inability to sleep; if you are in a
general run down condition and
unable to bear your part of the
daily grind of life, you need some
thing to strengthen your nerves.
You may not realize what is the mat
ter with you, but that is no reason
why you should delay treatment.
Dr. Miles' Nervine
has proven its value in nervous dis
orders for thirty years, and merits
a trial, no matter how many other
remedies have failed to help you.
