ATIMEFORSTRONG NERVES
Many people are worrying them
fcelves sick over tho high cost of living.
War time with its excitement and
hysteria is a trial to the strongest
nerves. To those whoso nervous sys
tems are run down by overwork or
worry, to those who are on the verye
or neurasthenia. It is a time of danger.
There is no tonic for tho nerves that
Is not a tonic for every other part of
the body. There is no form of debility
that does not rob the nerves of nour
ishment. The remedy therefore for
nervous breakdown is a tonic that will
build up the general health, revitalize
the blood and enable it to carry to the
nerves tho elements that they need.
Dr. Williams' rink Tills are an ideal
tonic for this condition because they
lire non-alcoholic and neurasthenic
, patients should avoid alcoholic stiinu
- )unts.
, Th rr. 'Williams' Medicine Co..
Schenectady, N. Y., has published a
little book on nervous disorders that
contains a chapter on neurasthenia In
, Which the symptoms are fully described
mid tho correct treatment given. The
Koklet is free on request.
Dr. Williams' rink Pills are sold by
Sour own druggist or will be sent by
mail, postpaid, on receipt of price. 50
cents per box. six boxes for $2.50.

r Suffered Terribly From a Burning
. Sensation in His Stomach.
"Last Summer I had a bad spell of
. Indigestion that lasted about ten days.
- There was a terrible burning sensation
and a good deal of gas In my stomach.
1 suffered terribly at times, being un-
- able to get relief until I took a friend's
- advice and began using Chamberlain's
Tablets. The relief from the first was
very apparent, and by taking only half
sl bottle of them I was cured." writes
U. F. Tarkhurst. Cicero, N. X. Adv,
president of the Seattle union, who told
what was being done by the Seattle
operators to enforce their demands for
increased wages and better working
conditions. Before leaving for Olym
pia the local girls were addressed by
ll:ss Field, delegate from the Aberdeen
union, who-was passing through Cen
tra.Ua on her way to the San Francisco
conference.

CATHLAMET, Wash., Oct. 25. (Spe

Tuesday night. The Boy Scouts and
pupils of the local school furnished

had reached a grand total of $18,000
Chief of Police Johnson, who took a
personal interest in the canvass among
members of the police force, and who
gave the men under him several patri
otic talks on the loan, expressed him
self as being highly pleased with the
showing of his men.
Patrolman Quinton subscribed for
$3000 of the bonds of the second liberty
loan, and in so doing is said to have
set a record among the army of city
employes even outside the Police Bu
reau. Mr. Quinton has been on the
police force for the past 25 years, and
is the second oldest man both In years
and in point of service on the force.
Another large subscription was that
of the Police Athletic and Benevolent
Association, which subscribed for $1500
of the bonds. Out of the 280 members
of the bureau, more than half sub
scribed for bonds of the second issue.
Many of those who have taken bonds
of the new loan are also subscribers
to the first loan. At least two-thirds
of the members of the bureau have
taken bonds, including the first issue.
Chief Johnson said.
"I am more than pleased with the
patriotic response of the members of
the folice Bureau," said Chief Johnson
last night. "Many of the men will
have to practice the strictest economy
in their homes in order to keep up
their payments, but in spite of that
they have come forward even better
than we anticipated."
The chief expressed the belief that
the total of last night would be in
creased materially before the campaign
is brought to a ciose tomorrow night.

MEDFORD, Or., Oct. 25. (Special.)
With Medford, Ashland. Jacksonville
and Eagle Point all passing their mini
mum quotas in the second liberty loan
campaign tonight. Jackson County's
total stands at $466,300. which is $14,300
above this district's original allotment.
By wire today from Portland the
minimum quota has been placed at
$765,000, and while local . ban kers be
lieve it will be impossible to reach this
amount in tho two days left of the
campaign, every effort will be made to
come as near it as possible. That the
half million mark will be passed seems
certain in spite of the fact that at the
opening of the campaign the quota of
$450,00 looked unsurmountable.
Medford subscription! tonight stood
at $233,600. and Ashland at $146,850.
The most sensational showing today
was made by Ashland, with a 100 per
cent increase from $7S,000 the night
before.
An example of the loyalty of local
Oerman-Americans was shown today
when O. I. Wagner, of Steamboat,
came to Medford and handed W. H.
Uore, local chairman, a check for $1000,
representing the subscriptions he had
collected in that sparsely settled mining
district.
"1 love the Oerman people," said Mr.
Wagner, "I was born among them, but
I love my country better than any
other country and 1 want to do every
thing 1 can to help ray country now."
