Don't Be A Slave
To Your Nerves
Good Advice to Nervous People
People who are excessively nervous,
tired out and all run down, who get
the "Jumps" and "Fidgets." who can't
concentrate their minds on their
work, have fits of "blues," trembling,
nervous headaches, and dyspepsia and
that "Don't-give-a-hang feeling," so
common to nervous folks, may take
it as a certain fact that their trouble
Is due to impoverished or devitalized
nerve force. Probably their nerve
cells ar starving and if they give out
entirely, complete nervous 'prostra
tion or breakdown is the result.
A splendid treatment for weak
nerves is found in the famous Margo
Nerve Tablets, composed of several
nerve vitalizing elements well known
to modern chemistry. These tablets
seem to go direct to the nerve cells
and begin immediate action. Just
make this Test Take a Margo
Nerve Tablet, wait for about a half
an hour, and watch yourself perk up.
See how they feed your famished
nerve cells, start healthy blood circu
lation and normal digestion. Then
you can brighten up, put on a smile,
get some of the old-time "pep" back
in your system and feel as happy as
a clam at high tide. Margo Nerve
Tablets are absolutely harmless, con
tain no dangerous habit-forming
drugs, are, easy to take, inexpensive
and Kennedy's, Geo. A. Gorgas and
other leading druggists sell them on
a positive guarantee of successful
results or money back.

TOLEDO'S MAYOR
DEFENDS COMING
BOUT FOR TITLE
Ministerial Association Regis
ters Protest to Willard-
Dempsey Fight
Toledo, Ohio, May 16 Protest
against the Jess Willard-Jack
Dcmpsey heavyweight championship
contest at Bayview Park, a munici
pal owned plot of ground here July
4 is expected to he in the hands of
Governor Cox, of Ohio, and James F.
Mathias, sherllT of hucas county, to
day. These officials, together with
Mayor Schreiber, of Toledo, were re
quested by the Toledo Ministerial
Union, an organization of 250
churches, to prohibit the contest.
Fours Bad liflfert
The protest, mailed to the state of
ficials and Mayor Schreiber yester
day, characterized the fight as "a
gladiator contest worthy of the Ro
man arena of infamous memory;" de
clared that it would teach youths
"to see red," and would result in an
invasion of Toledo by gamblers and
thieves.
Mayor Schreiber answered to-day
that the government had made box
ing a part of the curriculum in the
army and navy, and that the fight
would bring thousands of visitors to
Toledo who will expend hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
Will Aid Charity
The contest, the mayor's statement
added, would stimulate Toledo's bus
iness, provide employment to labor,
bring Toledo advantages natural'and
Industrial, to notice in every sec
tion of the country, and result in en
riching the city's charity fund by ap
proximately $35,000. Seven per cent
of the gross receipts of the contest
are to be donated by Tex Rickard,
the promoter to the fund.
"The contest will be an exhibition
of clean sportsmanship and free from
fraud of any kind," the mayor added.
"It will do much to bring home to
every one the advantage of athletics
and physical exercise."
ONLY THE PUGILISTS
HAVE FAILED TO STRIKE
Iginilon Johannesburg, South
Africa, has grown so used to strikes
of all kinds that they have ceased
to be effectivo there, and yet they
continue. The tearoom girls, in
particular, are always striking, us
ing the hottest afternoons. Sten
ographers meet secretly in each
other's rooms and plan walkouts.
Chauffeurs are in perpetual turmoil.
The unrest of the harbers is sharply
manifested. The bank clerks, threat
ening to close down, have the hearty
support of every man with an over
draft.. Only the professional pugi
lists have failed to strike. The cables
are in a decline. Since the "trade
union forming fortnight," which the
Rand enjoyed a little while ago,
there has been no time to do any
thing but negotiate.
IT'S NATURE
"This aboltion of capital punish
ment is mere child's play."
"What do you mean?"
"Why, isn't it skipping the rope?"
—San Francisco Chronicle.
EMIR'S ASSASSIN
STILL AT LARGE;
RIVALS FOR TOGA
Habibullah Slain During
Sleep While on Grouse
Hunting Tour
London, May 16.—Latest reports
received hero regarding the murder
of Habibullah, Emir of Afghanistan,
on February 20. indicate that the
assassin is still .at large. The boify
of the emir wus taken to Jellalabad
and buried on the royal golf course,
but it is assumed that it will be
exhumed and reinterred in one of
the palaces at Kabul.
Kival Claimants to Tlironc
Meanwhile there have been rival
claimants of the throne. The new
emir is Amarullah Khun, third son
of Habibullah, the dead monarch.
He is 26 years of age and has never
been out of the country, but he is
described as having "an active brain
and a keen intelligence."
Details of the assassination of Hab
ibullah now in hand confirm cable
reports that he was killed in his
sleep while on a grouse hunting ex
pedition.
Eats Engineer's Lunch
He had motored from his winter
palace at Jellalabad, accompanied by
his eldest son and Nazurulla Khan,
his brother. According to a Cal
cutta newspaper, about two days be
fore his death he was seen at Kha
lat-ul-Senaja, a palace about 25
miles from Jellalabad, by a Euro
pean engineer engaged in work
there. His visit was a surprise and
no lunch had been prepared. The
European engineer saved the situa
tion by giving his lunch to Haba
bullah, who ate it all and presented
the cook with $lO. To the engineer
he handed a cigaret.
"Good-by," he said as he depart
ed. "I shall see you again in three
days on my way back."
Dead Two Days Later
When the motor car returned two
days later it contained his dead
body.
His Majesty had proceeded about
27 miles beyond Khalat-ul-Serja
and camped at a little place known
as Kollagosh. He slept in a large
tent well guarded by soldiers. Four
or five page boys also in the tent took
turns in watching. About 3 o'clock
in the morning a pistol shot was
heard, and when the emir's brother
and eldest son rushed into the tent
they found Hababullah shot through
the head.
