The disposition to save shown by so
many of the children is attributed by
DR.. Dawson largely to their susceptible
ity to suggestion. While the children
do not realize the full significance Of
saving, the idea has been engrafted up
on their minds and is bound to have Its
influence. In noting the percentage OF
those who would buy clothing it should
be remembered, he says, that many CT
the children were in urgent need of
something better to wear. Those who
voted for something to eat were mostly
under years of age. In regard to trav-
el, the figures show that as children
grow older the desire to go out into the
world increases rapidly. reaching its
height at about the beginning of adoles-
oence.
The desire shown by the boys for fire.
arms is an expression of the hunting in
stinct that awakens when they are 10
or IL years of age. At that age boys
like to get hold of books of hunting and
adventure. The tendency to buy books
increases steadily as the children grow
older. This class numbers about twice
as many girls as boys. The class which
manifests feeling of altruism, also
numbers more girls than boys, showing
that the greater generosity Of women
is strikingly manifest even at an early
age.-New York Post.

Nervous Disorders, though now
adays enormously prevalent, con-
stitute q class of diStinctively
modern diseases. They are un-
uuestionably one of the results OF
the wear and tear of our lend of
the century" way of living.
In late years the scfedce OF
medicine has had to encounter
something that wasn't insanity.
nor paralysis. nor hysteria, but
which partook of some OF the
symptoms of ali three and devel-
oped into Il condition as serious
as any of them and entajled even
more misery upon the patient.
Nervous disorders have always
been recognized; but probably no
variety of human sickness or
weakness has been more imper-
fectly understood nor more inad-
equately treated.
All tissues in the body are fed
from the blood. Being in control,
the tissues of the brain and OF the
nerves demand the best of food
and plenty CT it. If there isn't
enough to go around, the brain
and nerves are bound to get their
share, even IL some other organ or
tissue goes without.
II impure blood be furnished
the brain and nerves, they rebel
and cry out in the form of pain.
Pain. such as the agony of neu-
q. ralgia. lancinating stabs of rheu-
mats or gout, is but a drayer
from tho nerves for pure blood.
Impure blood-blood polluted on
account of choked up kidneys;
blood loaded with filth that can
not escape; blood loaded with
poisons of malaria, rheumatism
or gout; blood saturate ed with the
poisons of constitutional disease
is what brings about disease of
the nerves.
Disease of the nerves may also
result from abuse and oyerwcrk
of the nervous system. Here the
harm is done because the nerves
use up their food supply faster
than the blood can furnish 1t. In
fact in such cases the nerves
starve. But whatever may be the
form OF any diseasie of the nerves
il is liable to run nto paralysis.
Now these are the great pre-
vailing causes OF nervous disor-
ders; but chronic disease In some
ergan of the body and the dis
tress attending its presence may
also cause 1t. The wear and tear
of modern business life lead to
careless habits of eating and
drinking and sleeping, and herein
lies the great prolific cause Of
modern curse.
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1899-11-16

But whatever may be the cause.
let 1t be marked and remembered.
If you have any form of pain.
your nerves are crying for better
blood.
When your hand trembles, your
step is uncertain, you have q
sense of allgOneness in your stom-
ach or dizziness when you arise
from chair. your nerves are
weakening.
When you cannot sleep nights.
and when what little sleep you do
get is filled with hideous DIR. ans
and torment, your nerve center is
weakening.
Such symptoms may not be
alarming in themselves alone.
but they are indications OF dang
er ahead.
The brain and nervous system
cannot be trified with. Strain
them by neglect, improper food
and overwork and they demand
relief.
Give them that relief in the
shape OF cocaine, choral, NOR
phine of some other opfate or Sc
dative, and they are quieted for
time under the drugs deadening
influence; but the work OF decay
already begun in the nerve center
only goes oI the faster.
For let 1t be borne in mind that
nervous disease is progressive
disease. Whatever may be its
origin, once the drain upon the
controlling and governing force
of the body has begun, 1t pulls
and draws with its distress and
of the body lose their functions,
until the throne of reason is over
turned or life itself is not worth
the existence.

CAUGHT IN THEIR OWN DEVICE.

Secretary Gage has issued a
statement to the effect that the
Treasury Department will buy back
$50, 900, 900 of government bonds on OF
before November 30, to relieve the
"stringency" in the Wall Street
money market.
The frequency with which these
ssstringencies" are occurring is the
natural result of the attempt to build
I'D an immense volume of business
upon the contracted base of money
provided by the Single Gold Stand
ard.
A year ago when the propositions
to provide the government with
means to prosecute the war were be-
fore Congress, the Democratic, Inde-
pendent Republican and Populist
members were unit in insisting
that instead of issuing more bonds,
there should be moderate issue Of
non-interest bearing legal-tender
treasury notes. (greenbacks), and
that the mints should be re-opened
to the coinage of silver-especially
to the coinage of the silver on de-
posit in the national treasury.
This plan, for the most part the
same that had been put into effect
by President Lincoln during the
Civil war, would have furnished the
government with ample means to
prosecute the war, without saddling
a single dollars worth of interest
bearing debt upon the people, and
without impairing the national
credit in the least, but its advocates
we're denounced as common cheats
and demagogues by the bond hold
ing fraternity which was clamoring
for more bonds.
So the bonds were issued and there
is something of ''poetic justice" in
the fact that the bond-holders them
selves are the first to suffer from
their greed. Their petition that the
government buy back some OF the
bonds in which they have invested too
heavily, that they may get the means
to protect their interests from jeop-
ardy in other investments, should be
a revelation to the people.
These ever recurring financial
stringencies ought to convince even
the financiers that the nations sup
ply of money}is too limited to meet
the necessities of the country's bus
mess; that in the contention that the
supply should be increased the DEM
ocratic party is right.
THE New York Board of Trade
wants Congress to declare in favor
of the Single Gold Standard, and in
favor of making gold the sole money
in which to pay government debts.
Senator Hawley, Connecticut's
prominent Republican, scents danger
for his party in such legislation, and
declares against it as follows: II
believe that all the declaration neces-
sary is contained in the act of 1873,
and see nothing to be gained by
making distinct declaration of the
gold standard. AS long as that act
is unrepealed gold will be the stand
