The above clipping from the Chicago
Daily News refers to our former towns
man DR.. Robinson who practiced
medicine in this city for seven years
from 1882 to 1889. He has made some
reputation as a writer, surgeon and
investigator. We are informed that his
wife, DR.. Lucy Waite is also surgeon
and frequently performs oyariotomy for
abdominal tumors. She is a graduate
of Chicago University and studied
abroad two years, spending the main
time in Vienna, the same place with
DR.. Robinson. She has worked with
DR.. Robinson some three years in
surgical operations. Surgeons consider
DR.. Waite a good operator. Her
practice is limited to diseases Of
women and abdominal surgery. She
writes articles for medical and other
Journals and is good platform speaker.
We understand that she retains her
name at the special request of Dir.
Robinson.

Condition of Trade.

Improvement in business has con-
dnued since the Presidents veto, which
has been sustained in the House. But
the best news of the week is the great
decrease in number and Importance of
failures, of which full returns are given
for the first time by months in the
quarterly statement on following pages.
The number was 2O9O in January, l POP
in February, and 1,005 in March. The
commercial liabilities were $31, ,320, ,S67
in January, ST. ,93O, ,419 in February, and
81, ,73O, 1913 in March. Nearly half the
commercial liabilities were of firms
falling during the first month; much
more than half of the trading liabilities,
81 per cent, as the full statement shows
u per cent. of the manufacturing
liabilities, and 80 per cent. of the other
commercial liabilities. Moreover,
nearly two-thirds of the banking
liabilities were of failures in the first
month. and over half Of the railroad
liabilities Though the number of
commercial failures, f ,297 in the United
States, was never equalled il any
quarter until the third of last year, the
average of liabilities is only Sl4,S9O,
which is lower than has appeared in the
records of 39 years at any time closely
preceding any serious reverse. The
degree of commercial soundness and
health thereby indicated gives ground
for hope that the liquidations conse
quent upon the disaster Of 1898 have
been in large measure accomplished

Pays to Tell a Coed Thing.

There is nothing mysterious about ad-
vertising. 1t is an exact science. You
are simply telling people where they
can get certain needed things. That's all
there is of it. If you can tell them about
something they want, or ought to want
If you have a good thing to offer-ad-
vertising will sell it. Most any sort of
advertising is useful, but newspaper adj
vertising is not only the best, but it costs
less than any other kind-service con
sidered. You can get more circulation
talk to more people-for less money, in
a newspaper, than any other way.
Figure it out and see.

Republican Editors.

The prospects are that there will be a
very large meeting of Republican
editors of the state in Madison April II
in response to a call for an organization
to make the campaign work of the
Republican press most effective for next

publican State Central committee has
invited the members of the committee
to meet there at the same time with the
editors for general conference and has
sent letter to every Republican editor
in the state of which the following is a
copy:

An AGE or NERVOUSNESS.

The stone age the bronze age and the iron age
we have heard Of: likewise OF the Dark Ages, and
other self-marl,ing eras in human history. The
golden age also has been talked Of and dreamed
Of and we-nigh every generation has Imagined
Itself to be upon the threshold of It, AS for the
present. IT might with fitness be known the
age Of engineering. or Of electricity. both Of which
proud titles It has won by its achievements. Yet
there is also a less roseate view 10 be taken Of
II, and another title TO be given to It, based upon
It's too-evidcnt frallties: namely. that 1t is an
age OF nervousness.
Such Is the view taken by the famous psy-
chologist DIR. William Erb OF the University OF
Heidelberg Nervousness. he says meaning
nervous excitement. nervous weakness, Is the
growing maady OF the day. the physioog
teal feature OF the age. IIystcria, hypo-

fearful rapidity among both sexes. They begin

overburdcned in school. with too much teaching
or misdirected teaching. The pleasures of social
life follow overexclting the already enfeebled
nervous system. business life is made up OF
hurry and worry and shocks and excitements.
Society, science. business. art. literature. even
religion, are all pervalcd by a spirit of unrest.
and by n competitive zeal which urges its vic
tins on remorselessly. No man knows repose.
The result is wreckage. The pharmacopoeia Is
overcrowded with nerve tonics. nerve stImulants,
nerve sedatives. The medical profession devotes
Its best energies to the treatment OF neuropaths.
And as q people we are, or are becoming. excit-

In a nation that Is reckoned comparatively

unfortunately not to be disputed with any de-
gree Of confidence. Nowhere are the rush and
hurry and overs;rain OF life more marked than
In this much achieving Nation. The comparative
youth and freshness and yigor OF the American
people enable them to do and to endure what
