ALUM AND NERVOUS DISEASES.
surreptitious Use of the Drug in Food
 Causes Many Illnesses.

surreptitious Use of the Drug in Food
 Causes Many Illnesses.
 The frequent cases of nervous pros tration or utter collapse of the nervous system under which women Ego 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 rlous forms of nervous diseases which are readily traced to the poisons pro- ducing them. Further research leads to the belief that alum is prevailing cause of so-called nervous prostratien, for the symptoms it produces on the nervous system after it's absorption into the blood are very remarkable in- deed Experiments physiologica1ly made upon animals by Orfila, Profes- sors Hans Mayer, Paul Seim and .oth- CTS show that alum frequently pro- duces 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 prostration of tha Whole nervous system. The most prom inent physicians now believe that nervous prostration" and many affec- tions of the nerve from which both men 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- 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 hey are sold.

wARsHIps FOR ESCORT DUTY.
Mcn-of-War Snid to be on
Hand to Protect Mule Transports
From Unfriendly Interference.

New Orleans, Jan. 17.-It is stated
here that there are British warships
within easy reach of the Mississippi,
assigned 10 the duty of escorting the
mnle transports when they shall have
been loaded with animals from New
Orleans for South Africa. The pres
ence of the warships in the gulf waters
is said to have beer brought about by
advices received at the British war Of
flee in London to the effect that two
old hulks had been fitted out by Amer
lean sympathizers with the Beers, with
the avowed intention Of capturing and
sinking the mule transports as soon
as they left the mouth of the river on
their voyage across the Atlantic.
These advices, it is said, were cabled
from London to Capt, Marsham, in
charge of the buying of mules in this
country for the British army. Capt.
Marsham admitted that there were
British warships within easy call OF
| the rivers mouth, and while not abb
| solutely denying the fact that he had
received information of the alleged
Boer expedition on the seas, he Of
| fered a strong argument against the
possibility of the expedition being in
existence.

objective of the force is probably the
important islands of Samar and Leyte,
which the insurgents hold. The Amer
lean blockade and the levies of the
Tagal army have caused great suffer-
ing among the people, and hundreds
of persons are in an almost starving
condition. The Tagal general, Maui
ricio, recently landed at Negroes from
the island of Panay, and requested a
conference with Col. Byrne. He pro-
posed that the insurgents be let alone
and permitted to wear side arms and
uniforms in the towns until the war
in Luzon was ended, when they would
surrender. Col. Byrne refused to agree
to this, however, and said they would

Frankfort, Ky, Jan. 17.-Tuesday's
tragedy, in which three men were
killed, seems to have cast a pail over
the people of the state capital, and on
all sides are seen evidences of mourn
ING. The bodies of EtheIbert Scott
and Luther w. Demaree, victims of
Culson's bullets, were shipped to their
respective homes, Lexington and Shell
bvyille, while the remains of Julian,
who was probably killed by Scott, lie
in q casket at the residence of his SIS
ter. where hundreds of friends called
to pay their sad tributes. Capt. B. B.
| Golden, who was also shot by Colson,
is very much improved, and the physi-
| clans entertain hope of his recovery.
Golden says that he was hit by Col
| sor.'s first shot, and that Demaree was
| killed by Colson's recklessness. Col
son passed the night in Jail.
At the coroner's inquest all of the
eye-witnesses who testified stated that
Demarce was killed by Colson. Sew
eral witnesses wore positively thai
Scott was not the man who shot first
and described the man who began tn,
shooting as a tall, handsome man, who
used the long pistol. This tailed with
the description of Colson n his re
eelver. The coroner's jury returned ;
verdict to the effect that Scott, Julian
and Deniaree came to tteir death by
pistol shots fired by David S. Colson.

one was a young southern girl. She was

But she lorded it over the place, and ali

"No," replied the girl-who walked before,

And then the other women from the south
gazed reverently at the "just missed" and

Millions OF dollars of waste occur
every year in the cities OF the Unit
ed States; enough, II has been stat
ed, to sustain ten million people.
The waste in single large city,
New York for instance, is enormous,
the annual value of the sewage and
manure alone being in the millions
New York's and Chicago's vast
sewage IS carried out to sea, and
Ch;cagoans think they have achiey-
ed a great engineering triumph
whereby their hundreds softhousands
OF tons OF concentrated fertility is
swept into the Mississippi and final
" to the Gulf OF Mexico. In this
connection it is interesting to note
that some communities are utilizing
their waste in enriching adjacent
lands. Paris is making 4 vast ex-
pertinent with using its sewage for
irrigating farm lands upon which
can be grown wonderful yields. A
dispatch from Walia Walla, Wash
ington, states that a fruit company
or ming a large orchard near the city
has contracted to take the entire
CITY sewage for a term OF IS years
without cost to the city. Here is
mutual cooperation. the fruit men
want water for irrigation purposes
and the city has task Of no small
proportions in getting I'd OF this
surplus water. The fruit company
owns large orchard just below
Walla Walla and the trees require
irrigation TO bring the best results.
For years the company has been en-
deavoring to solve the problem; now
it is believed the irrigated property
will be one of the best paying in.
