REJECT LIS PEACE APPEAL.
Decision Was Reached at Session of
the Cabinet.

washington. August 2l.-The cabinet
session today practically opened the con-
sidcration Of the momcntOus questions
growing out of the capture Of Pekn ami
tho war I'm China.
Until today's session the absorbing
question has been the safety of Minister
C0nger and the lesationers at Pekin.
Now. however. that has given place 10
problems Of a more intricate and far
reaching character. touching the very
existence of the Chinese empire and the
part which the American government L.
TO take in the reconstruction OF that
country.
The meeting today was devoted entirely
to the Chinese situation. Secretaries Hay
and Root. who have been most active in
directing affairs. were absent from the
city. so that the attendance was COM
paratively small. the president having
with him Secretaries Gage, Hitchcock
and Wilson and Postmaster General
Smith.
Several questions were awaiting atten-
tiOn. First of these was the application
Of Ii Hung Chang for the appointment
OF Minister Conger or some other commits
sioner TO negotiate for the cessation of
Eostilities.
The decision arrived at was to re-
ject the appeal, and reply of this
character will be sent to Minister WI
to be forwarded to Ii Hung Chang.
The moving cause for this action is
that this government is at present very
much in the dark as to whether there is
any existing government i'm China. With
the capital in the hands of the allies. the

RUSSIA AND GERMANY
KEEP POWERS ANXIOUS
By Jos: Oil.

Washington, August A.-(Special.)-
There is great anxiety in official circles
over the attitude of Russia and Germany
In China. The announcement that the
general commanding the Russian troops
has said he proposes to go ahead with
his operations regardless or what the
other powers do because his government
has declared war against China, is con-
sidered by the president and his ad-
visers as the gravest kind of a complica-
ton opening up, as ii does, all SORTS
of possibilities of continued trouble.
Germany's attitude is also being viewed
with alarm While there has been no
statement from Germany like that OF
the Russian general, 1t Is regarded as
significant that the German government
declines to accept Ii Hung Chang as an
authorized envoy OF China and that mil
itary preparations are being rapidly
rushed forward by the Germans. In
diplomatic circles there is a feeling that
the kaiser and the cZar have a little

1T WAS NOT TRUE.

AT the time the story was telegraph
ed from Washington that Senator War
rem and Congressman Mondell had
called at the interior department in re-
lation to matters pertaining to forest
reserves in Wyoming and had been
turned down, The Republican believed
it sounded rather ishy. Now Con-
gresham Mondell brands the story as
false. In the course Of his explana-
ton of his position on the forest re-
serve question, Mr.. Mondell says:
THE entire question of grazing on
forest reserves is one that should be
passed upon aud settled by the interior
department after careful and thorough
investigation and inquiry as to the con
ditions existing on each and every re-
serve. No general rule a or should
be laid down. There are no doubt re-
serves from which sheep should be en-
tirely excluded, v e which they never
grazed, as for instance the Teton and
Yellowstone National park reserves in
Wyoming. There are other reserves
which nave been more or less grazed
over by sheep in the past where the
grazing OF sheep under proper restric-
lions is beneficial rather than injur-
ious' Some portions OF the reserves
may quite properly be grazed where it
would not be proper to Craze other por-
TONS. 1t is almost universally conced-
ed by the owners OF hocks, as well as
others, that all grazing on reserves
may quite properly be under certain
regulations, as to the number allowed
10 Craze, districts in which they may
Craze etc. The opposition to the graz
Ing in forest reserves is by nc means
made by those opposed to sheep graz
ing alone, as in some parts OF the Il
try the department is discussing the

WHY MEN DON'T ooTocHuRcH


There Are Several Reasons Contributing
to That Result.
Men stay away from church because
they do not want to go; hat is the
simple. naked truth about the matter.
The question, Why do they not want to
go? Is another matter. Various an
swers may be given to it, says a
writer. Many have doubtless become
SO secularized as to have lost all sense
of their sinfulness and lost condition,
and so, all sense of need of salvation.
These men are not under any such
moral pressure as would lead them to
attend church. They have nothing to
go for. Indeed. they usually have
some other place to which to go-to the
clubs, to the races, etc.-and the going
to which shows that it is not over
work" which keeps them from the
church. There are other non-church-
goers, who have some appreciation OF
sin and salvation, who have been
c~hurchgoers, but who find nothing in
the church services that meets he
needs of their lost souls. They become
weary of moral essays, reform ha-
rangues, political diatribes, socialistic
platitudes and sen~sationalism gener-
ally. and so let their wives and daush-
tiers do the church-going. Another
reason doubtless Is hat the religious
atmosphere and the newspapers are so
permeated and saturated with the new
infidelity that discrcdits the Bible and
practically dispenSes with sin and sal

ALUM AND NERVOUS DISEASES.
SurreptItious Use of the Drug In Food
Causes Many Illnesses.

The frequent cases of nervous pros
tratlon or utter collapse of the nervous
system under which women go all to
pieces" as the saying is, have caused
much thought and investigation on the
part of physicians. Certain Inorganic
substances are well known to cause va
rious forms Of nervous diseases which
are readily traced to the poisons pro-
ducing them. Further research lepHs
to the belief that alum is a preveilinu
cause of so-called nervous prostration
for the symptoms it produces on the
nervous system after its ABSORPTION
into the blood are very remarkable in
deed. Experiments alphabetically
made upon animals by Orfla. Profess
sors Hans Mayer, Paul Selm and 9TH
ers show that alum frequently pro-
duces no visible symptoms for many
nays after its introduction into the
body. Then follow loss of appetite and
other alimentary disturbances, and
finally a serious prostration of the
whole nervous system. The most prom
inent physicians now believe that
nervous prostration" and many affec-
lions of the nerve from which both
men and women suffer are caused by
the continued absorption of alum into
the system. 1t is probable that many
medical mon 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, however, is
still used surreptitiously to some ex-
tent to whiten bread and very largely
in making cheap kinds of baking pow
der. 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. distin-
guished by the lower price at which
they are sold.
