ALUM AND NERVOUS DISEASES
surrepfitieus Use oa the Drug in Foos
 Causes Many Illnesses.

51rreptitieus Use of the Drug in Fooa
 Causes Many Illnesses.
 The frequent cases of nervous pros tratton 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 r7ous forms Of nervous diseases which &re readily traced to the poisons pro- ducing them. Further research leads to the belief that alum is a prevailing cause of =so-ealIed nervous pr0stration. for the symptoms 1t produces on the nervous system after it's absorption into the blood are very remarkable in deed. Experiments physiologieaIly made upon animals by 0rfIa, Profes- sors Hans Mayer, Paul Seim and oth- CTS show that alum frequently pro- duees no visible symptoms for many days after it's introduction into the body. Then follow loss of appetite and other alimentary disturbances. and finally a serious prostratfon of tha whole nervous system. The most prom nent physicians now believe that nervous prostration" and many affec- tions of the nerve from which both hen and women suffer are caused by the continued absorption of alum into the system. It is probable that many medical men are unaware of the extent to which salts of alumina may be in- troaaeed into the body. being under the impression that the use of alum in bread is prohibited. Alum. however. is still used surreptitieusIy to some ez- tent to whiten bread and Very largely in making cheap kinds Of baking pew der. h 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 bs distia- guished bE the lower price at which shey ate sold,

LONDON, July 23.-The report that
the government at Washington has re
ceived request from the emperor to
med ate In China is the subject of much
discussion in official circles. The au-
thenticity of the Chinese communfca-
tion Is questioned, but this is not the
attitude of many we'll informed in Chi
nese affairs.
The latter believe that Kwang Su's
appeals to the French and American
governments are siucere, and that they
indicate that the imperial government
at Pekin has the reins in It's hands
again and is eager to set itself all rig Mt
with the powers.
To this end, they cay, America and
France, as the most disinterested
powers, were addressed.
England's part in the Chinese crisis
Ia unfavorably commented upon. She
has shown no energy in diplomatic eff
forts to clear up the mystery of the
minister's fate, and has exhibited a
kind of jealous surliness toward Japan
when the latter expressed her wiling
ness to throw an army in China to save
the situation.
Englsnd's attitude is in marked con.
trast to that of the United States whose
activity is becoming more and more Q
subject of complimentary comment.
1t is stated that if the ministers are
safe and the Chinese situation is really
as reassuring as it appears today, the
United States government, because of
its clear heaeedness and good faith,
will leap to a position of the fret i'm
portsnce, ALPHABETICALLY, in China.
The prospect of an advance toward
Pekin in the near future brightens.
Some II, 200 Japanese troops have now
arrived at Tien Tsin, and the ChiDese
are said to be in full retreat. Paris
hears that the powers are considering
. dash to Pekin with the forces now at
hand.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-No con firma-
ton can be obtained this morning of
the runors afoat that Secretary hay
has demanded from WI the safe an d
speedy conduct of Minister Conger
from Pekin to the feet under Remey.
Hay has from the fret maintained
that we could not be at war with
China, since the imperial government
is mot responsible for the hostilities,
but gu the contrary was temporarily
helpless.
To demand such an achievement
from the representative of d helpless
nation would be inconsistent with all
of the state departments previous de-
1t 10 believed the rumors have arisen
from the attempt voluntarily made by
Minister Wu to keep up come kind OF
cation with Conger.

GREAT REAL ESTATE DEAL

ing an Immense Sum of Money.
Much Speculation On the
Motives of the Purchasers.
One of the largest real estate deals in
the history of El Psso is being quietly
put into operation by agents for as yet
an unknown party, o. parties. The
project as being consummated involves
the purchase of an immense tract of
city property north of the Southern
Pacific railroad, extending from Stan
ton street to the round house OF the
road.
Local real estate men acting for v.
E. Austin, a real estate dealer of Gal
weston, have been actively engaged
during the past week in obtaining
options on property in that location.
A local broker recently obtained an
option on a valuable piece OF proper ty
above the railroad The property EN-
braces about one half of city bloc K.
In making arrangements for Its pur
that interests were to be brought into
that vicinity which would not add 10
the value OF the property as place Of
residence.
This. together with the reticence of
Mr. Austin and other interested
parties, is considered good grounds for
the belief that the property is being
bought through agents for some rail
road company. A man who is largely
interested in mining and railroad inte-
rests intimated today that the proper
ty is being bought for trunk line rail-
road, and that the project is q large
one.
The purchase of the property in the
vicinity of the Southern Pacific hold
ing is said to be for the purpose OF
giving extensive yards in Ell Paso Tor
an airline railroad from the east to
some port on the gulf of California, pro-
badly either Topolobampo or Quay ymas.
The plan has been under consideration
for some time, according to the rail-
road and mining man quoted.
Mr. Austin stated this morning that
he intended to go to Guaymas within a
few days, and then afterward corrected
himself. Further than that Mr. Austin
would not cay anything about the
matter, except to assert that he had no
whatever with a railroad or
syndicate of any sort. He insisted
that his purchases of real estate we're
for private individuals, and were being
bought on q speculation. He did not
deny that he was interested in Ell
Paso real estate, and especially that
portion lying north of the Southern
Pacific tracks, and stated that
several attorneys were engaged by him |

The statement that Mr.. Austin made |
his departure in few days |
'or Guaymss is regarded as evidence
hat he expects to have arrangements

by that time. and that there
q some connection with the purchase

ID construction of road between the

GLORY OF THE ARMY.
Some of the Hollow Phrases Uttered
by Bourkr Mt
Chicago.

As a purvcyor of ]nothings, Bourke
Cochran is second only to Mr.. Bryan.
In a recent speech at Chicago he said:
THE glory of American soldiers has
not been in the greatness. but in the
smallncss of their NUMBERS
That sounds well in Il speech, but
what are the facts?
In the war OF 1sl2 we had $1,000 reg
ulars and i1I.G22 volunteers in the
field.
In the Mexican wal we had 3O,g5l
regulars and 1916 volunteers.
The civil war called for over 1000, 900
men.
The Spanish war brought out al
army of 2lG.O29 men.
There is nothing small about these
figures. The glory of the American
army. at all times. has been its UNI
hinchiug courage. its high morale, its
devoted patriotism. Its recent record
in China is the last laurel which it has
