WHY Women Are Nervous.
fBriiish Medical Ne,osI

British Medical NciCs
The frequent causes of nervous
prostration or utter collapse of the
nervous system under which women
"go all to pieces" as the saying is,
have caused much thought and in
vestIgation 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 a prevailing cause of so.
called nervous prostration, for the
symptoms it produces on the nervous
system after it's absorption into the
blood are very remarkable indeed, &,
Experiments physiologically made
upon animals by Ortila, Professors
Hans Mayer, Paul Seim and Others
show that alum frequently produces
no visible symptoms for many days
after its introduction into the body.
Then follow loss OF appetite and other
hhh
serious prostration of the whole
nervous system. The most prominent
physicians now believe that "nervous
prostrstion" and many affections of
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 in
troduced into the body, being under
the impression that the use of alum
in bread is prohibited. Alum, how
ever is still used surepttiously 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 pro-
cure only those brands made from
cream of tartar. The alum powders
may generally be distinguished by
the lower price at which they are
sold.

CITY HOSPITAL Probable.

Rev. w. II. Miller and others from

option on ;he large building, formerly
used as barn, in the Bunnel addl-

good place, and that their Church
would he willing to defrsy part of
the expense of the hospital If the
council would help. The iDunkards
have a reputation all over the coun'
try as skilled nurses, the Church
making the care of hospitals special

that az result of the agitation lola
will be equipped with n public
hospital where the sick can be treat.

start, contagion could be confined.

Mr.. H. f. Hensen, who has been

The NOrthrup Building

The excavation for the basement
beneath Northrups' new business
building is progressing rapidly and
Saturday the first delivery OF
brick for the foundation was made.
10000 brick will be used in the
foundation alone, they being from
two to six feet in width. $50 barrels
of Portland cement will be used with
the brick and the foundation ought to
hold up the three story building un.
til dooms cracks. The building will
be S0x320 feet in dimension and will
Immediately take rank as the largest
store building in lola. The brick
being used are made in lola and are
burned especially hard. Unfortu-
nately the cement will have to be i'm
ported, the local works not yet being
in shape to manufacture the cement.
1t is very pleasing to lola people to
note the continual increase in the
dimensions which are fashionable.

PHILIPPINE REPUBLIC
Senat, Pettigrew Wants to Know
Whether Dewey Recognized 1t.
CHARGES AGAINST GEN. MERRIAM
Senators Pettigrew and Chandler Have "a
sharp INT over the Cmur d'Alene
Trouble-Debate on Currency
Bill In the House.

Washington, Dee. l3 Whether Ad-
miral Dewey, acting for the United
States government, formally or in
formally recognized the Philippine
republic at Manila is a question which
Senator PettiRrew, of South Dakota,
desires the navy department to answer.
He introduced a resolution yesterday
directing the secretary of the navy to
supply the senate with information on
the subject, but Senator Chandler, of
New Hampshire, objected TO its i'm
mediate consideration.
Following this objection, Senator
Pettigrew and Senator Chandler had a
sharp tilt over the resolution offered
Monday by the former, demanding
from the secretary of war an eXplana-
tion of rtain charges against Gen.
Merriam in his conduct of the Coeur
d'Alene trouble. Politics were injected
into the controversy and the personal
references made by each senator
against the the other lent some liveli-
ness to the otherwise quiet session.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on military affairs.
After an executive session a message
from the house was presented an
nouncing the death of Representative
Daniel Ermentrout, of Pennsylvania,
and on motion of Senator Penrose, of
Pennsylvania, the senate, at 1:40 p, m, 4,
as mark of respect, adjourned.
Among the bills introduced were:
For the amendment of the law Great
ing the interstate commerce commits
sion; providing for the classification of
vessels of the navy into four classes,
torpedo boats excepted; increasing the
pay of letter carriers, the highest
salary provided being $1,000; for the
publication of the pension roll.
