PAPER GOES UP.
The Trust Meets and Advances
the Price Gives Shall
low Reasons.

New York. Feb. 16.-At the annual
meeting of the Papers and Pulp as
ISOLATION Thursday an advance in the
price of paper was announced. The
greater cost of labor and the scarcity
of spruce pulp in the United States
were the reasons stated. The province
of Ontario recently decided to prohibit
the expectation of spruce pulp to the
United States with a view to retaining
the industry in Canada as far as pos
sible.
The association held it's twenty-third
annual dinner at the Waldorf Astoria
last night
Among those at the guests table were
Senator Joseph H. Gallinger, former
Governor John S. Wise of Virginia and
former Speaker Thomas B. Reed.
All of these guests made speeches.
Former Speaker Reed said: '.On
revenue tariff you have lowered the
price of newspaper from 612 to 2 cents
a pound.
You have done much but you have
done something that is wrong and far
from perfect by making newspapers so
cheap that you have brought upon US
the Sunday newspaper. Go on all your
life and make paper cheap, but don't
oVerdO it,
Senator Gallinger said in part:
The policy of protection is either
right or wrong. If wrong, it ought to
be wined off the statute books If right
the tariff rates ought to be increased.
AS an American l have no sympathy
with the agitation which is ~oing on
at present in Germany and other coun-
tries that there must be an alliance in
tariff action against the United States.
We are taking possession of the mar
kets of the world and l am opposed to
the bill which proposes to put wood
pulp on the free list, because it is one of
those idiotic measures which would be
q crime to American industry and Am
erican labor. 1t would be suicidal to
remove existing duties and thereby
flood our countries with foreign manu-
featured paper. I would rather have
the tariff increased and will do my
utmost to maintain protection"

In this day of so much nerve sick
ness among womenkind. doctors agree
| that nervous prOStratiOn is sometimes
the result of over work and sometimes
| the result or idleneSS. There is no
doubt that some women try to do and
do too much. take things too much to
| heart and there is a nervous break
down for which the ambition or the
| conscience is responsible. There are
| other women who uselesSly fret who
| worry themselves sick and rasp their
| own nerves, simply because they are
too idle to do any healthy work, or to
| take any strong interest in any work
or study or to get out of themselves
| even in any amusement. Doctors say
| that there are many women who have
| imaginary appendicitis. There has
| been much talk of the disease in the
| papers and woman reads it and gets
| scared over the grape seeds she has
| swallowed and works herself into
thinking she has the trouble when she
| does not give a single symptom of
| it, One doctor whose practice is wide
and extends among women of every
degree of society. fashionable and I'M
fashionable. says that she has many
women come to her who need no more
| of prescription, nor no less. than
| fiannels and mental occupation. The
women who pride themselves ON wear
ing the thinnest of summer gauzes
through the winter season and wo-
! men who have nothing to do. the COM
bination the doctor says is enough
to make any woman sick. She tells
them either to study history or Ian
guages or literature or do charity work
and put on sensible clothing. All doc
tors agree that most women either do
too much or imagine too much or wor-
~ too much and thus aid and abet dis
ease Our Ell PaSo climate is said to
be especially hard on the nerves. but
nervous diseases are prevalent east,
west. high and low. In nerve sick
nesses the proverbial ounce of pre-
vention is worth much more than the
pound of cure, for once let the
nerves get the upper hand and temper
philosophy work, play, friends, reli-
gion and hooks. none can solace and
everyone will develop some new irri-
tation. Unstrung nerves require more
tender care than a new baby. they re-
Quire an almost impossible amount of
rest and they make strain on the
frmest ties of friendship and love.
The prevention of nervous sickness
begins with a paradox, for the most |
important part of it is to. forget the |
possession of nerves, because to ack- |
nowledge having them and to be con-
scious of having them is giving them
half the mastery of ones days. Next
to forgetting the nerves entirely, the
second important step is to either
give up some social duties or some stu
dies or interests, if life he rushed and
hurried, or to shoulder new interest
Or two. or study if life be idle. The
first is more difficult than the second.
il is unhappy to have to give up some
work or interest but il is better to do
