ARE NERVOUS “Fruit-a-tives” the Greatest of all Nerve Remedies Because Made of Fruit Juices The increase in the number of persons suffering from Nervousness is world-wide; due, in a measure, to the reaction following the war. Sleepless- ness, Headaches, Mental Depression, Rheumatism, Nervous Dyspepsia, Bad Heart Action, are the results of a disturbed condition of the Nervousg System. The nerves and the blood are so intimately, so vitally, connected that the condition of one is bound to affect the condition of the other. If the blood is laden with impurities, it is impossible to have strong, steady nerves. The first essential in treating nervous troubles is to purify and enrich the blood. This, “FRUIT-A-TIVES” will do. “FRUIT-A-TIVES” stimulates the bowels, kidneysandskin and purifies the blood. “‘Fruit-a-tives” improves appetite and digestion and insureg food being properly digested, thus enabling the blood to carry wholesome nourishment to bui'a up the body, particularly the nerves, Men and women who take *“Fruit a-tives” for some form of nervous- ness—because they cannot eat or sleep or work or enjoy life—say that this fruit medicine is simply marvellous in its action. 50c. a box, 6 for $2.50, trial size 25¢.

Bidwell e TAG DAY FOR SALVATION ARMY IN NORWICH TODAY Mayor H. M. Lerou gave permission Friday for the Salvation Army to con: duct a tag day in Norwich today (Satur- day) for the home service fund, in which the aim is $3,500, and towards which the effort so far put forth by the committees has brought in $2,700 in cash. As the Salvation Army tag day in Willimantic brought in $385, the workers are feeling that Norwich ought to do considerably better than that and reach close to the quota by the tag day responses. Any amount from one penny up will be thankfully received and it is urged by the committee” workers that the citizens step up and make voluntary contribu- tions whenever they see young women who wiil be on the streets as the tag day solicitors. The banks have kindly con- sented to allow the girls to solicit for tag day in the bank lobbies. Those who have volunteered for the work are Mrs. Raymond B. Sherman, Miss Pauline Ma- ther, Miss Helen Risley, Mies Catherine Lee, Miss Marcia Bruckner and twelve Camp Fire Girls. Dance at Armory.
