NERVE AND NERVES.
It is a good thing to have "nerve "
It is a bad thing to have nerves.
Ninety per cent of our American
people suffer from nervous com
plaints in a greater or less degree.
Nervousness seems to be the na
tional disease. It is the result of
the strenuous life of our times.
Sipecially is it so in business, where
the struggle for supremacy leads all
to work at high pressure, with in.
sufficient time allowance for rest and
recuperation.
Advertising columns of the daily
papers reflect this state of affairs in
the advertisements of nerve foods,
nerve medicines, nerve tonics and
the services of nerve specialists.
We do not know Siri . Swanan
der, but we heartily endorse the
prescription he writes for the ner.
vous business man.
TbUisit:
"Eat of plain food, slowly and
regularly.
"Breathe fresh air at all times.
"Exercise judiciously.
"Rest mentally and physically.
"Try to sleep.
"Do something for some one.
- "In a few months your brain will
be clear and your senses bright.
Before the year is out you will stand
erect, looking the future square in
the face, with fearless eyes."
It has been Baid that bad health
is largely due to bad conscience.
The iman who honestly strives to
follow the dictates of his conscience
can stand up under a terrible pres
sure of work both mental and phy
sical.
The above writer strikes the key
note of unselfishness when he says
"Do something for some one." Our
attention, oooupied with a view to
helping others, will leave us little
thought for own ills, and in right
living they will soon disappear.
Cultivate nerve, but beware of
"nerves."

About 14 months ago Capt Pierce
stopped at Marcus island for the
purpose of adiustine? bis instru
ments. He headed a party and went
ashore in a steam launch. He was
met on the beach by about twenty
Japanese, many who were armed
with rifles, and who ordered the
Americans to leave the island at
once. Seeing that the display of
fire arms did not frighten the visi
tors, the spokesman of the Japanese
produced what purported to be an
a a
official document from the Japanese
government, and nourished this pa
per Detore uapt. nerce. An explo
ration of the island disclosed the
fact that Japanese evidenttly were
at work obtaining guano. Captain
Pierce made no attempt to molest
the Japanese. He was' then not
aware of Rosehill's claim.
Captain Rosehill expects to sail
for his island on July 11.

and other nomadio tribes, have been
gathering in the mountains twenty
miles south of Butte for some weeks
where they are engaged in their an

the "San Dance," which has its
origin with the sun worshippers.
The old and cruel ceremonies of
fastening and dancing around a pole,
with leather thongs tied to the poles
and fastened with sticks in the
breasts of some of the braves, are
strictly observed and the wild dance
continues until the thongs tear out

They are the weapons that have betn used for
generations to ght old Rheumatism, and are
would be in modern warfare. ' r
Rheumatism is caused bv an
condition of the blood. It is filled with acrid, irritatir.f matter that settles
in the joints, muscles and nerves, and liniments and oils nor nothing
else applied externally can dislodge these gritty, corroding particles. They
were deposited there by the Wood and can be reached only through the blood.
Rubbing with liniments sometimes relieve temporarily the aches and
pains, but these are only symptoms which are liable to return with every
change of the weather; the real disease lies deeper, the blood and system
are infected. Rheumatism cannot be radically and permanently cored
until the blood has been purified, and no remedy does this so thoroughly
and promptly as S. S. S. It neutralizes the acids and sends a stream
exhilarating tonic. Our physicians will advise, without charge, all who
write about their case, and we will send free our special book on Rheumatism
