There are many nervous wrecks. There is nervous pros- ; tration of the stomach, of the bowels, and other organs. The brain, the kidneys, the liver, the nerve centers are all exhausted. There is but one thing to do— j build up the nervous system by the use of Dr. Miles' Restora tive Nervine. Its strength ening influence upon the nerv ous system restores normal action to the organs, and when they all work in harmony, health is assured. Get a bottle from your druggist.

It is considered a sure sign of death to see one's own shadow in the moon light on New Year's eve. You court misfortune by leaving the house on New Year before some one has entered it. You must hope for the luck, moreover, of having the tirst to enter a dark haired man. Seeking to know what good or evil 1 he New Year would bring, superstitious people in the long ago girt themselves with swords and sat 011 the roof of their houses on New Year's eve. They also knelt at the crossroads (oil a cow hide) for the same purpose. The first thing brought, one might think, would l>e pneumonia. It is bad luck to carry anything out. of the house on the New Year before something has lieen brought in. But the best luck of all, which even those most scornful of portents may not despise, ts to begin the New Year owing no man a cent.—Philadelphia Tress. A NEW LEAF.
