At this time of the year most people suffer from a condition often called Spring Fever, They feel tired, worn out, before the day is half thru. They may have frequent headaches and sometimes " pimply" or pale skin and white lips.

OVERWORK PARALYSIS Doctors Said His Case Was Hopeless --Could Not Walk or Write-- Speech Almost Gone--How Cure Was Fiffected. St. Ann's, Ont., Mar. 21.--Paraly- sis is far more easily prevented than cured. .

It is not advisable, however, to neg- lect nervous disorders until such conditions are developed. Mr. Avery Hyatt, blacksmith, St. Ann's, Lincoln County, Ont., writes: "1 am a blacksmith by trade, and ten years ago became afflicted with paralysis. 1 could not walk or, read or write, and could talk with diff- culty, so that it was a hard matter to understand anything I would say. Being only a young man, I was nearly discouraged. Two doctors told me it was brought on by over- work, and that my case was hope- Tess. yi © One day my father read about Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, and advis- ed me to try it.

Take When Bilious, Headachy, For Colds, Bad Breath, Sour EWORK WHILE YOU SLEEP Instead of nasty, harsh pills, salts, castor oil or dangerous calomel, why don't -you keep Cascarets handy in your home? Chascarets act on the liver and thirty feet of bowels so gently you don't realize you have ta- ken a cathartic, but they aet thor- oughly and can be depended upon when a good liver and bowel cleans- ing is necessary--they move the bile and poison from the bowels without griping and sweeteh the stomach. You eat one or two at night like candy and you wake up feeling fine, the headache, biliousness, bad breath, coated tongue, sour stomach, consti- pation, or bad co:d disappears. Mo- thers should give cross, sick, feverish or bilious children a whole Cascaret any time--they are harmless and safe for the little folks. MORE RESTRICTIONS DUE. London Restaurants to Close Earlier. London, March 21.--The proposal forthe chosing of eating and amuse- ment places at 9.30 p.m. has not yet been definitely adopted. The Coal Controller was in conference yester- day with committees from the re- staurant and amusement organiza- tions on the subject. All the indus- tries affected declare the plan will be ruinous to them, the music hall and restaurant proprietors especi- ally expressing their opposition. Every proposal for 'wartime re- sctrictions has met the same sort of outcry when it was first broached, but 'it is pointed out that the disaster which 'the saloonkeepers and various other businesses had predicted has not loccurred as a result of 'the re- striction upon their activities. If the latest scheme is adopted, London, it is ibelieved, will accept it with the same spirit in which it thas borne other infringements upon old cus toms during the war. FOOD CAMPAIGN.
