A nerve cell is made a main body fiom which runs one or moie neive fibres, The nerve fibres may stretch out to grga' length, as tor example the nerve cell fibres which stretch from your spinal cord to the end your big toe, Some of the nerves are the carriers of messages 01 impulses from the brain to the muscle, organ or glam to which the nerve is attached. Often neives carry sensations from the sense organs to the brain. When you study physiology you will find that every muscle fibre attached to It, and the muscle fibre will not con tract until it receives an impulse over this nerve fibre For a l--g time we were not able to measure these nerve impulses and had little idea as to what they were, bu lately scientists have been able to measure the nervi Impulses which travel from the brain to the muscles and have found them in some respects to lesemble an elfec trical discharge.

Our nerve systems are very complex and the whole system has been likened to a telephon exchange In a large city. You all know how the tele phone wires carry messages, and so it is with the nerves The nerves which cany brain messages can tell the muscles what to do. The time taken by the nerves in translating messages is very short but the nerve im pulses do not travel with anything like the speed of elec tricity. From the time you sec danger in front of you until your muscles have moved out ot the way take almost one second. This is oue reason so many acci dents occur in automobiles, especially at high lates speed.

Suppose you aie traveling at the speed oE 3' miles an hour. Fiom the time you perceive the dango i you can cause the car to stop you i have trav eled 40 feet, and if the speed is greater you will no be able to stop as nipldly. Our nerves also serve the i a purpose of allow Ing us to feel pain. Through this i i th nets to keep us i destioying ourselves If are the i tells us to keep out ot th lire. If we touch an) i sharp, the nerve tells us avvny.

When eel tho pain in nerves calling for help you should not lsiega.nl such a signal and should seek out the cause and remove it before permanent i is done. One in good health nevei knows that he has a nerve hl.s body.

The best way to build up the neivous sys- cm is to build up the general health. You cannot have well nerves In sick body. To steady the nerves it is necessary that you use a better diet than you mve been using, USP more vegetables, especially more aw salads. He sure to get plenty of vitamin in your 'ood and obtain plenty of sleep. Give 'Em the Whip--And Make It Snappy!

Oh, it's glad am I you re coming to the city that I love, Where the years are not foreotten when the skies weie daik above Here you'll march to merrier music than you ever heard in Fiance, Wheie a i guns used to rattle and death threatened each ad- uince.

The call is for September, and my city waits for you With lusty cheers of welcome she will swing hei gates for you.

We'll set the banners i and we'll toll the bands to play, We'll line the streets to cheer you as you swing along the way.

asks: "What are the results of a lack of iron In the diet?" Answer, A lack of iron produces insufficient oxidation, anemia and lowered vitality. Do not use iron The only way Iron can be utilized by the body Is after it has been piepared for our use by plant structures. Iron, not organized in this manner, produces softening of the teeth, liritation of the eyes, causing blue ejes to turn brown around the pupils, and produces gastro-intestinal disturbances, A large amount of oiganized iron may be found In sorrel, lettuce, spinach, truffles, strawberries, asparagus, radishes, Swiss chard, onions, i and watermelons.

H. asks: "Would your system of fasting and dieting have any effect In the way of a cure of an advanced stomach cancer?" Answer. There is veiy little hope of curing an advanced case of cancer of the stomach.

It Is Interesting to notice a tlio use of motor boats It, incrcabinp; steadily in the United States.

In 1919 there were only 01,000 motor boats registered In the wholn last year there -wore nearly 250,000 and the Is still rising. Thus comes a revival of an old and- enjoyable form of recreation. Two or thieo decades ago every lake anil i Ivor In the country was dotted with noisy, energetic little motor boats. Then came the sudden popularity of the automobile, and the boats wore tled'up and ignored Now, with roads getting crowded, people are turning back to the water again.

Although Mis. Funderbuik did not change her name when she married, the two Fuuder- i families were not related. The Bissell homestead in Staunton Where resided the mother of Governor Bintell and his sisters Miss Lydia and Mrs.

William Bess, was located on the vacant lot adjoining the St. Michaels Catholic school.

Bess Kirkwood Rice, wife of Frank Rice of Gillespie bears the family name of Bess. The history of the life of the late William H. Bissell proved him to have been one of Staunton's most illustrious residents. He gained great distinction in the war of Mexico, which was declared in 1846.
