TIME FOR REJOICING.
Christmas Holidays Bring to Mind
Sweet Memories.
The aroma of a feast always clings to
a holiday--but to none so gloriously, so
deliciously as to Christmas. The roots
of words are oftimes buried deep by the
passage of time. The religious aspect
of the Christmas anniversary, too, has
given place to festivity by popular con-
sent and general observance. Not that
the days pleasures are Objectionable, but
that time has changed the day from one
of somber religious observance to a glori-
Gus, rollicking, merrymaking in which joy
and good cheer join hands to warm the
hearts of humanity, and bounteous land
laughs a plentiful harvest to comfort the
stomachs of it's people. Then why not
rejoice with your fellows, for all is JOY
on Christmas day. Not until babes cease
to be born, and small children forget to
prattle at the maternal knee, and men,
ory's sun has set, will Kris Kringle,
Santa Claus or ST. Nicholas Whichever
you have a mind to call him) pass from
the lives of old and young. The approach
of Christmas softens the calloused tenta-

CHRISTMAS OF 1900.
Plan to Have the Whole Christian
World Unite in It's Celebration.
1t is planned to have a great Christmas
celebration in 1900, which will be begun
with the ringing of the "Peace and Lib

that this will be the most joyous Christ

first Christmas of the new century the
whole Christian world will join simuta-

and his experience with coffee. He
had been nervous and more or less If

waterbrash from time to time and
sleeplessness, with considera BILE

great nervousness and serious

BALL PROSPECTS BRIGHT.
President Browne Predicts an Auspicious
Opening of Season.


President j. Stanley Browne, of the
Western Baseball association, SAYS in
the Rockford Star: .'At the present
time there is really only one city
which is in doubt. As is generally
well known, the gentleman who Sc
cured the franchise there has met with
obstacles of the most formidable char
acter, but he is n determined man and
will surmount them if 1t is within
human possibility to do so. None of
the cities. with the exception of one,
has asked any questions regarding the
schedule, and it will be ready at the
time announced, which time was sat
isfactory to all. At the present the
prospects are very bright. The sea-
son has been the most backward
that has been known in years, mu-
nicipal elections have influenced sew
eral of the towns one way or the
other, and there are inside matters
constantly coming up which are
not made public. no more than any
company or firm makes public the
business which concerns itself. alone.
1t is certain that all the activity pos
sible has been employed in starting
the association. There have been
more handicaps than ever before, but
events have slowly yet steadily shaped
themselves to an suspicious opening"

Why Women are Nervous.
british Medical News. !

The frequent eases of nervous
prostration OF utter collapse of the
nervous system under which women
Ego all to pieces as the saying is,
have caused much thought and inves-
tigation on the part of physicians.
Certain inorganic substances are
well known to cause various forms of
nervous diseases which are readily
traced to the poisons producing them.
Further research leads to the belief
that alum is prevailing cause of So
called nervous prostitution, for the
symptoms it produces on the nervous
system after its absorption into the
blood are very remarkable indeed.
Experiments physiologically made up
on animals by Orfila, Professors Hans
Mayer, Paul Seim and others, show
that alum frequently produces no
visible symptoms for many days after
it's introduction into the body. Then,
follow loss of appetite and other ali
mentary disturbances, and finally a
serious prostration of the whole nerv-
Gus system. The most prominent
physicians now believe that NERVOUS
prostraticn" and many affections from
the nerves from which both men and
women suffer are caused by the con-
tinued absorption of alum into the
system.
1t is probable that many medical
men are unaware of the extent to
which salts of alumina may be intro
duced into the body. being under the
impression that the use of alum in
bread is prohibited. Alum, however.
is still used surreptitiously to some
extent to whiten bread, and very
largely in making cheap kinds of
baking powder. In families where
baking powder is generally used great
care should be exercised to procure
only those brands made from cream
of tartar. The alum powders may
generally be distinguished by the
lower price at which they are sold.

Vast Army of Voters to Capture the
State and Then Move on to Washington
and Change the Present System of Gov
eminent and Society-EquaI Distribution
of Production.
Thomas A. Hickey, of New York. a
socialisriabor party leader, in an adj
dress at Turner hall before fair sized
audience last night, predicted that
the Goth century would witness a
wonderful change in political condi-
tions in the United States, which
would ultimately result in the placing
at the helm of the socialists. He said
the American movement was but one
wing of the political revolution that
was transporting in the ma joritv of the
countries of Europe-it was a move
ment that would eventually become
international, as capitalization had
done.
The socialist party, at the last presi-
Dental election, nine years after or
ganization, polled 80, 900 votes. Mr..
Hickey said it was organized on the
lines of the economic development of
the ages: that n vote for the repub-
lican party meant a continuation of
times as at present, for the democratic
party such existence as was endured
from 1892 to 1896. The soclalist-labor
party stands for the public ownership
of all means of production, distribu-
ton and transportation-lands, mines,
railroads, gas, electric light and water
plants, factories, arsenals and trusts.
Then the people will be as free eco
nomically as they are politically. The
party proposes to secure this end
through the laboring men, along
whose course of advancement are
some bloody spots, and more. he said,
must he established before the end is
accomplished.
1--WE propose organizing vast
army of voters and, capturing the
states, move on to Washington and
change the present painless. anarch-
istic system of government and socie-
" into one of law and order, declared
the speaker.
Majority are Laborers.
Mr.. Hickey said that the last census
showed that the majority of the
people in the United States were
Ia borers; yet they only received one
fifth of what they produced. 1t is
the purpose of the socialists to read |
just the laws of production and distri- |
butionso as to insure a more equal |
of the products of labor.
The speaker said his party was hav-
ing 4 rapid growth in America notwith- !
standing attempts, such as that of |
Eugene Debs and his social demo-
crAcy, had been made to cause n split |
i'm the ranks. He said the social de- |
was Debs and Debs was the
social democracy. The party, in the
opinion of Mr.. Hickey, was a dead |
duck.
