December 6, 1919 The Faithful at Jimtown By Artuur CHAPMAN ELCOME HOM the sign’s grown tatered smce we put it there on high, And the letters seem some faded, but they suit the soldier's eye. , It has looked on many meetin’s—that there sign that’s hung so long— It has seen some limpin’ feebly, though they went away quite strong; It has seen hugs and caresses of the mothers, gals and wives . Of aur fads who left the village with their great- est gift—their lives; ; So I guess we'll leave it hangin’, though the painter's marks is faint. “Welcome Home !"—the words are dim-like, but of course our feelin’s ain't. “Welcome Home !"—our town committee couldn't nake a better choice, But I guess the words is plenty, for the lads they all rejoice. We are there, you bet, to meet ‘em, though the trains sometimes are late; Though the weather's cold and stormy, we are there, inside the gate, And we have a lunch-room fitted, with the home brand eats on tap, And there's wimmen there with coffee—all of ‘em that’s worth a rap Take their turns on the committee, and they ain't agoin’ to roam Till they've made our final warrior feel that he is “Welcome Home!” “Welcome Home !"—them words mean somethin’ oa a wild and freezin’ night When the through-train from the bathes the sign in tremblin’ light. Then you sce Aunt Susan Wylie dashin’ in, with hair half brushe: And the shoe laces that flip-flop show how Uncle Dean has rushed And Tom Hawkins, our rich banker, hea yawn that cracks bis face— ut you bet they meet the soldiers, for to miss would mean disgrace. So us folks on the committee homely sign, Though some boys won't ever sce it—and, among ‘em, one of mine! eastward sorter love that A Respite By AL.

We are the most “high strung’ people on Earth. The average American is a bundle of nerves ever ready to spring into action, mentally and physically. The rest- less energy of Americans is proverbial. We may well be proud of our alert, active and sensitive nerves, as it indicates the highest state of civilization courage, ambi- tion and force of character. The vast opportunities open to us in every field; our freedom of Government, which prevents no one from reaching the highest goal, economically, politically and socially is the incentive that has fed us to develop our nerves to superkeenness and alertness, for in the present day high tension life a dull and slow nerved person cannot succeed. Our high nerve tension has not been with- out its grave dangers and serious conse- quences. Neurologists agree that we are mere subject to nervous disorders than any other nation Our “Mile a Minute Life” is tearing our nerves to shreds and we are deteriorating into a nation of Neurasthenics (Nerve Exhaustion). Since the Nervous System generates the mysterious power we term Nerve Force, that controls and gives life and energy to every muscle every vital organ, every drop of blood and bodily cell, nerve exhaustion necessarily must result in a long train of ailments and weaknesses. The noted British authority on the nerves, Alfred T. Schofield, says: “It is my belief that the test single factor in the main- tenance of health is that the nerves should be in order.”” How often do we hear of people running from doctor to doctor, seeking relief from a mysterious “‘something-the-matter’’ with them, though repeated examinations fail to indicate that any particular organ is weak or diseased. In nearly every case it is Nerve Exhaustion—Lack of Nerve Force The symptoms of nerve exhaustion vary according to individual characteristics, but the development is usually as follows FIRST STAGE: Lack of energy and en- durance; that “tired fecling’’ especially in the back and knees SECOND STAGE: Nervousness; sleep- lessness} irritability; decline in sex force; loss of hair; nervous indigestion; sour stomach; gas in bowels; constipation; irregular heart; poor memory; lack of mental endurance dizziness; headaches; backaches; neuritis: rheumatism, and other pains. THIRD STAGE: Scrious mental disturb- s; fear; undue worry; melancholia; dangerous organic disturbances; suicida } ten- dencies, and, in extreme cases, insanity If only a few of the symptoms mentioned apply to you, especially those indicating meatal instability, you may be sure your nerves are at fault—that you have exhausted your Nerve Force. Nerve Force is the most precious gift of Nature. It means everything—your happiness, your health, your success in Life You should know all thereis to earn about your nerves; how to relax, calm and soothe your nerves, so that after a severe nerve strain you can rebuild your lost Nerve Force, ‘and keep yourself physically and mentaily fit. I have written a 64-page book which ‘s pronounced by students of the subject to be the most valuable and practical work ever written on nerve culture The title of the book is “Nerve Force.” It teaches how to soothe, calm and care for the nerves. The costis only 25 cents (coin or stamps). Bound in elegant cloth and gold: cover, 50 cents. Address, Paul von Boeckmann. Studio No. 143, 110 West goth Street, New York.

I have advertised ‘my various books on health, breathing and other subjects in this and other magazines for more than 20 years, which is ample evidence of my responsbility and integrity. Over a million copies have been sold. You should send for this book today. It is for you whether you have had trouble with your nerves or not. Your nerves are the most precious possession you have. Through them you experience all that makes life worth living; for to be dull nerved means to be dull brained, insensibie to the higher phases of life—love, moral courage, ambition and temperament. ' The finer your brain is the finer and more delicate is your nervous system, and the more imperative it is that you care for your nerves. The book is es- pecially mportant to those who have “high strung” nerves, and those who must tax their nerves to the limit.
