Nervous
Collapse
"I have traveled for thirty
years continually. I lost a great
deal of sleep, which together
with c6nstant worry left me in
such a nervous state that finally,
after having two collapses of
nervous prostration, I was
obliged to give up traveling al-
together. I doctored continually
but with no relief. Dr. Miles'
Nervine came to my rescue—I
cannot describe the suffering
which this Nervine saved .me.
Whenever I Am particularly
nervous a few doses relieve me."
A. G. C. LIBBY, Wells, Me.
There are many nervous
wrecks. There is nervous pros-
tration of the stomach, of the
bowels, and other organs. The
brain, the kidney^, the liver, the
nerve centers are all exhausted.
There is but one thing to do—
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. Take it all ac-
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money.
Press Buletin of the A. & M.
College of Texas.
Har ;
There has just been issued by
G. S Praps, Chemist of the exper-
iment station of the A. & M. Col-
lege of Texas, a buletin which
has reference to commercial fer-
tilizers in Texas that contains
very entertaining facts that will
be read with a great interest by
the farmers of the state;
Dr. Praps warns the farmers a-
gainst the purchace of "secret"
formulas for home mixing of fer-
tilizers and states that the Texas
Experiment station will furnish
free such formulas to any person
desiring to mix his own fertilizer.
"From time to time parties go
around selling formulas for fer-
tilizers which they claim to be se-
cret or 'wonderful discoveries,'
most of the receipts that have
been sold in this way are worth-
loss. Mixtures prepared accor-
ding to the directions given are
not worth the time and labor ap-
plied to them. Ingredients are
called for which can only be pur-
chased at high prices, and likely
as not, are wholly without value
to the plant or to the soil."
He goes into a lengthy discus-
sion of the commercial fertilizers
used in this state and tells the or-
igin of the constituent parts.
He devotes? a great deal of dis-
cussion to cotton seed meal as a
fertilizer, shows its value to be
great and explains how it can be
profitably us&d. An interesting
statement id that feed ng stuIts
made from cotton seed meal are
as good for fertilizing after pass-
ing the animal as before being fed
In other words, manure from an-
imals fed on such meal is of as
much fertilizing value as the meal
itself, pound for pound.
Meal unfit for feeding, which is
made from over-heated seed, usu-
ally contains as much plant food
and is equally as valuable for fer-
tilizing purposes as choice meal.
The more hulls present in the
meal, the less is its fertilizing
(and feeding) value.
The bulletin explains how fer-
tilizers may be mixed on farms
and while it is the advice of expe-
riment stations that farmers do
so, Dr. Fraps says commercial
fertilizers offered by reliable con-
cerns can probably be had cheap-
er as the manufacturer has an
advantage in wholesale prices for
materials and in having machin-
ery and equipment for properly
mixing ic.
The discussion in the pamphlet
of plant food is interesting and
entertaining. The bulletin will be
mailed free to all who request ft,
mentioning the Cass County Sun.

Eastern cousins.
"The old people," promptly
answered the girl from the new-
est west.
< j, . i ' , , ' !. ; "...
"The old people!" her cousin
echoed. "Why, I thought you'd
of course say—well, I don't know
what I did think you'd say, ex-
actly, but I supposed it would be
—oh, well—art, or institutions,
or society, or the Atlantic Ocean
or something of that sort."
Everybody laughed, and the
western cousin shook her head.
"No; it's the old people. You
see I've hardly known any I wa9
so long at boarding school and
at home we don't have them.
We're not old enough as a
town for anybody to have grown
old among us, and we're too new
and rough and remote for old
people to happen in upon us cas-
ually. There's nobody really old
in the place; some of the men are
more than elderly, perhaps, but
you couldn't guess at their age,
within twenty years. And as for
the women—why, last summer,
when Mrs. Luce came on to help
her daughter take care of those
twins, sdi'i made the sixth grand
mother in town, and we were so
proud wo gave them a 'grand-
inoler's party.' They were a fine
half-dozen, too—but the oldest
was fifty.seven aud the youngest
forty-one; so they we<o not ex-
actly centenarians.
When I met real old people
here—people in their seventies,
eighties and nineties, 1 was shy
with them at first as an old bach-
elor is with a baby. I felt that
such a frivolous butterfly as I
couldn't he anything but an an-
noyance to such reverend Methu
se'ahs of men and silver haired,
saintly old ladies. When J first,
found 1 could make them laugh,
and that they liked to, and had
not forgotten how a bit I was al-
most shocked. But I soon got us-
ed to it, and with great relief.
You see, I've always dreaded
old age. I had an idea that bo-
ing old was a kind of necessary,
characterless; long-drawn pre-
liminary to being dead; a sort of
condition of suspended anima-
tion, where one wa3 expected to
bo sufficiently alive to manifest
piety aud patience, but scarcely,
in decorum, anything else. It
came to me as a complete sur-
prise that there were as many
different kinds of old as of young
Now, with the memory of all
my new old friends—calm old
ladies and gay old ladies and
brisk old ladies, old ladies who
live iu a sweet withdrawal from
this hustling, bustling world and
: old ladies who keep up with the
times and read the latest novela
and talk politics till their eyes
snap—don't you see I shall nev-
afraid again.

Helping Oun Neighbor.
That which stands out bright
and shining above all the trage-
dy of the Italian quake is the in-
stant and world-wide responeeto'
the need of the suffering surviv-
ors, The calamity itself was nei-
ther new nor strange, unless per-
haps, in itk, magnitude.
Sicily and Calabria have been
often visited by disastrous earth-
quakes, both in ancient times
and recently. Since the beginning
of the present century, iMatt less
than ten years old, the great cit-
ies ' f K;m Francisco aud Valpar-
aiso, iu the weMlHi hemisphere,'
have been destroyed by seismic
upheavals, to say nothirfg of the
wiping out of St. Pierre, with all
its population, by the eruption,
of Mont iVIee, in the island ot
Martinique.
At the time of each of these eat-
aclasms the rest of the world con-
tributed to the relief of the suff-
erers, and once again the draft
on human sympathy has been
honored. Not only did Italian
war-sh'ps and tl '> It ilian King
and Queen start for the
the earth$uakc\as soon as news
of it reached Borne, but British,
French and Russian squadrons!
in the Mediranean beaded at full
speed for the help of the stricken
country. This was government
aid.
The people, the men and women
in Europe, Asia, Africa aixl both
Americas, were equally nrompt
in offering their money for the
purchase of food, clothing and
shelter, that the widow ana or-
phan might not go uncomforted.
The human heart is wondrous
kind, and there is no surer way
to make it beat with help falsynw'
pathy than to disclose to it the
existence of suffering. It has an-
swered the old question of the
lawyer; "And who is my neigh-
bor?" by including within that
intimate and friendly fellowship
all those in need the world over.
