TO SECURE RIGHT OE WAY.
St. Louis and North Arkansas Road Will
Be Pushed On Beyond Leslie.
—
Eureka, Springs, Dec. 13.—
H. R. Irvine left here this morn
ing for Leslie to secure right of
way for the proposod extension
of the St. Louis and North Ar
kansas railroad to the southeast.
The impression prevails here
that the visit of ex-Governor
Francis and President Scullin to
the front last week created a
much better understanding and
it is now believed that the peo
ple along the route will respond
promptly if not liberally.
Chief Engineer Lee, who was
in St. Louis today, will return
Wednesday and will probably go
direct to Leslie.
Vice President Sands will be
at headquarters here until
Friday.

Health
and
Beauty
Beauty is the external proof
of health; with failing health
comes failing beauty. Wom
an’s delicate organism is fre
quently over-taxed by arduous
household duties, and the de
mands of society. The con
stant drain upon her vitality
weakens her nervous system.
The penalty is a tired, worn
out, exhausted condition which j
destroys her appetite, robs her i
of rest, and at intervals causes
much suffering and distress.
When these conditions exist,
the weakened nerves must be
strengthened. Dr.Miles’Nervine
will do this. It stimulates the
action of all the organs, brings
refreshing sleep, and drives
away that look of care.
"I have taken Dr. Miles' Restorative
Nervine tor years, as did my mother
before me. Whenever I feel tired,
worn-out, or have headache, I always
take the Nervine and It strengthens
me. I consider It a great remedy for
nervousness or debility.”
