OLD AT TWENTY
Return of Youth With Proper Food
Many persons who eat plenty never
seem to be properly nourished.
That's because the food is not di
gested and absorbed. Much that is
eaten is never taken up by the system
as real food, and so the tissues simply
starve and the individual may, as in
a recent case, look and feel old m
what should be the bloom of life,
youth.
"At twenty I was prematurely old.
The health and vigor and brightness
of youth had been, as it seemed, stolen
from me. I went to work in the morn
ing with slow steps and a dull head.
"My work through the day was un
satisfactory for my breakfast lay in
my stomach like a hard lump. I was
peevish and the gas In my stomach
was very annoying. After supper I
■usually went to bed to toss half the
night from sheer nervousness.
"This was all from Indigestion—
caused by wrong eating.
"Finally I tried Grape-Nuts and I
cannot describe the full benefits re
ceived from the food. It gave me
back my health. It has completoly re
stored good digestion and my ailments
have disappeared. I steadily im
proved and am now strong and in per
fect health."

HIU.WITER C(SE
Judge Seibert, in Special Sitting at
Carlisle, Hears Both Sides
of Controversy
Special to The Telegraph
Carlisle, Pa., June 24.—Yesterday
Judge \V. N. Seibert, of the Perry
county courts, in special sitting here,
heard arguments of counsel in the case
of George C. Gochnauer and other citi
zens of Camp Hill against the River
ton Consolidated Water Company.
This case involved the enforcement of
a contract between the borough of
Camp Hill and the water company
made when its system was installed in
1897. An ordinance passed by the
borough provided that the rates for
water should not exceed those of the
city of Harrisburg. This contract, it is
claimed, was observed by the company
until July 1, 1913, when new rates,
largely increasing the old ones, were
put into effect.
The water company claimed that it
was required by the State Health De
partment to furnish a new supply of
water at a very large expense and
that it would be inequitable to require
them to furnish water at the old rate.
The legal points raised by the con
sumers in the argument were that the
contract between the parties was an
executed one and that the company,
being bound to furnish water, it did
not matter to what expense it was put.
The water company contended that
the contract was not enforceable in
equity on the ground of its indefinite
ness of the time limit, there being no
fixed time when the contract should
expire.
Counsel for the plaintiff contended
that these cases are in violation of the
Constitution of the United States be
cause the Legislature of the State is
prohibited by the Constitution of the
United States from passing legislation
which would impair the fcontract.

HEADACHE AND DIZZINESS
Headache is never a disease. It is
always a symptom. Applications, pow
ders and tablets that drug the head
ache into quietude are treating the
symptoms, not the disease, always a
useless proceeding ana often harm
ful.
When headache is associated with
some dizziness it is usually the re
sult of nervous exhaustion and will
continue as long as the person who is
overworked allows the debility to con
tinue. It rapidly disappears when rest
and the proper tonic is taken.
Nervous exhaustion ,the cause of
such headaches and dizziness, results
from a strain on the nerves with
which the rebuilding work of the
blood is unable to keep pace. The best
tonic for such a condition is Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills. These pills build up
the blood and strengthen the nerves.
With this treatment, unless the over
work, worry, or whatever has caused
the nervous breakdown, is persisted in,
the headaches, dizziness, nervousness
and irritability that characterize neu
rasthenia rapidly disappear.
The Dr. Williams Medicine Com
pany, Schenectady, N. Y., will send
free on request a helpful little book
on the home treatment of nervous dis
orders. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are
obtainable at any drug store.—Adver
tisement. i
