I WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS The nervous system is the alarm system of the humau body. In perfect health we hardly realize that we have a network of nerves, but when health is ebbing, wheu strength is declining, the same nervous system gives the alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful sleep, irritability and unless corrected, f, leads straight to a breakdown. I To correct nervousness, Scott's Emulsion is exactly what you should take; its rich nutriment gets into the blood aid rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while the whole system responds to its refresh ing tonic force.

Man Rounds, i Up Dope Artists in Philadelphia. f The adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Ardene Lupin, or e**en ot Doctor Jekyl and Mr. Hyde, says The t Philadelphia Evening* Ledger, have been surpassed to a certain extent J within the last three months right in i Philadelphia by Raiph H. Oyler, spe^ cial agent of the Internal Revenue j Department, who is said to be largely j responsible for the sweeping success ' of the recent wholesale crusade against "dop,e" peddlers and users in , this city. Special Agent Oyler not only has been leading "d.oublo lives" galore in the last few months in the Tend u\oin f but hc actually served six days in Moyamensing prison, with a "dope" / as his cellmate, his identity unknown I to all except United States Attorney i Frances Fisher Kane, who was in1 strumental in having Oyler transferred from the Department of Justice in Cleveland to special work in this [ A 1 ) city. It was while Oyler was in prison, supposedly one of the worst "croak guys" or "cannon men," that he got most of the information which has resulted recently in nearly 100 arrests for alleged violations of the Harrison anti-narcotic act, the confiscation of thousands of dollars worth of "dope" and of more than 15,000 drug prescriptions showing a dispensement of 150,000 grains of 'stuff' aince the first of the year. Keen on "Dope." Government officials in this and other cities, say Oyler is one of the best "dope" detectives in the country. He is only 24 years old, but has been familiar with "cane," "mud" (one of! the Tenderloin's pet names for, opium) "hop" and other "junk"' sincej a lad of 18. Although he will not! admit it, he is known to have been 1 left a small fortune by a relative in Ohio and works only for the love of the game. Oyler was sent by the department In Washington, but his entry into j rmiaaeiphia was not of the trium-! phant order. Unknown to all, except' Mr. Kane, the special agent "struck"i the Tenderloin with a record, as one j of the "dopers" expressed it, "as long as your arm." Battle scarr.ed and dressed in gangster's clothes, he had no trouble in convincing habitues of the Tenderloin that he was a "croak guy" and a "yegg" and that he wouldn't "rat a guy" on a bet. Then the investigation began. It hadn't proceeded far when one of the most spectular raids ever pulled in the Tenderloin was made in the Chinese restaurant of Lee Toy, at 931 Race street. It happened on February 27, shortliy after 2 a. m. United States Attorney Kane, Commissioner Charles W. Edmunds, Police Captain Kenny and Lieutenant Van Horn, of the police, assisted by scores of bluecoats and officers of the vice squad, swooped down on the place. Nearly 100 occupants were searched and 12, including Oyler, who was known as John Miller, were placed under arrest. More than 20 pounds of opium were seized. Oyler, or Miller, still unknown to all except Mr. Kane, was arraigned at once before Commissioner Edmunds and held in $750 bail for court. Even the commissioner thought he was deal inrr fir!fU n ff All?. VY 1 til CK VI'lUIIIUll Ul?Jjr. UJ'IUI was taken to Moyamensing prison and placed in the same cell with Lec Tcy, manager of the restaurant. Later he was transferred to another cell with another prisoner a? cellmate. He lived on the regular prison fare an 1 had the same strict discipline. As if to make his incognito more secure an indictment was drawn up against him. Only a few days ago his "case" was nonprossed. After being in jail a week, the special agent was released on bail. Evidently the information he had received wftA it plenty. Soon things began to hum, much to V i p $ BLACK UST BREACH OF NEUTRAL RIGHTS . i Secretary Polk Announces Dispatch of Note to Great Britain Washington, July 27.?A note to Great Britain objecting to the blacklisting of American business firms a.an ''invasion ck neutral rights/-' wa:cabled to London by the State Department. Acting Secretary Poik, announcing that the communication had been dispatched, declined to discuss it fur ther tlian to say that it container "representations." He said it would be given out for publication soon. Body Not Representative. New York, July 27.?Statements from a number of firms on the British trade blacklist insisted that the newly organized Association to Resist British Domination of American Commerce is not a representative body to deal with the question. It was said that at least 50 of the black listed firms have refused to join the organization. There was talk of forming another independent body, but developments indicating that tae United Statsc gov ernment lias taken a hand in the controversy and that the effect of the British government's order would not be as severe as had boon' foarer], caused many interested firms to decide against action at this time. Maurice B. Blumenthal, counsel for the Association to Resist British Domination of American Commerce, said that on account of the changed situation lie had postponed his intend ed trip to Washington to seek an into view with President Wilson. He said, however, that he had written to the President asking whether the government desired data concerning individual cases of l|ss caused by the blacklist. o 1 Colds w. i?_:? _ *?? 1Yri I MIVAIIU UC mppcu in UIC A# u yl bud", for if allowed to run Vyf fVI unchecked, serious results yfj illi may follow.

Mr. Kane is convinced that the biggest part of the illegal traffic has Jeen stopped. "Dope" violators in the Tenderloin arc said to be "nearly crazy" as they do not know at what moment the government's hand is going to fall. The illegal price of "stuff" is said to have increased from $6 to $20 for oneeighth of an ounce. Only last Saturday $5,000 worth of drugs was confiscated in a raid conducted personally by Internal Revenue men at a house on North 10th street, Speaking of Oyler, one of the deni zens of the underworld said "Sure, I know him. He's a slick one. Wouldn't wonder if he would let the Dicks mug him if he thought it would help him pinch a guy. "First time I seen him in a joint a guy starts shooting his mouth about cracking something. First thing you know we all grabs a short (street car) and blows down a joint. That job was never puLled.

Washington, June 2S.?In an "Enc>clope-.lia of Military Terms," just published by Canadian troops serving in France, an old staple army urtici.o, I cornea beef, is given the name of "bully." J Members of the United States Ma- j rine Corps, who published no ency- | clcpcdia, call the same thing "canned Wiilie," and they point out that j troops all over the world have different ana expressive terms describing the tinned corned beef product. Our Marines give r.o reason for their "canned Willie" version of the corned beef affair, other than that they try to no original in all things, and that, in going about the world in j)- rfornuumr 01 uuty, they learn what the other fellow is doing in a ; nicknaming way and are thus able to j keep right up to the minute.
