The organisation of tho School Hoard
Monday evening noxt is attracting very
little attention. The Democrats will have a
majority of ono, and tliay have decided
upon tlie slate as published by the Hkbaxd.
There Is muoU dissatisfaction over tho
Troosurershlp on the part of the friends of
thorn candidates who are not In the deal. The
Democrats, too, liavo trouble over selecting n
man for Truant Officer. The party "leaders"
want James Smith, while one Demooralic
Director, and probably another, are against
Smith and their frleuds say they will not
vote for him under 110 consideration. It Is
not likely that Smith will secure the plum.

A thorough building up of tho disordered
nervous system follows tho uso of Paino's
celery compound. It dispels harmful humors
from the blood, and increases Its volumo and
at tho same time its nourishing capacity. Tho
power of Paino's celery compound over dys
pepsia; skin diseases, headaches, kidney do
rangements aud other disorders, is unques
tioned by the most competent authorities.
Don't sufl'er from headaches, despondent
si ells, melancholia or any form of depression
that comes from indigestion or liver disorder.
Trust Paine'a celery compound. You will
not be tho first person, nor tho second, nor
tho hundred tli, nor the thousandth it lias per

Palpitation and throbbing point to a danger

At tbo first indication of deficient ncrvo
