The Story of Her Early Days as Told by Her Mother.
 It is a great achievement in the life
 of man or woman to have attained such a degree of greatness and distinc- tion that the small details of early days. which have hitherto appeared common place and ordinary, now assume an el- ement of deepest public interest It is allotted to few to arrive at such a point during their early lifetime, and excep- tionally rare Is it for one yet in the twenties to achieve so marked a posi- tion Rarer still it is to find such in the dramatic profession, which usually de- mands years of toll, hardship. self-sac- rifice and profound study before one can rise to a height towering beyond the interest and distinction which attaches to their fellow players.
 Such person is Miss Maude Adams, the little American girl who, yet in her twenties, has already carved out for herself a niche among the greatest players of her time. It Is peculiar that the most interesting period of a great personalitys life Is that of early child- hood. The public as a rule seems to have special fondness for such remi- niscences and loves to trace out if pos sble the significance of early incidents as indications of the subsequent great ness which the individual has achieved. The stories of the babyhood and child hood of great people are frequently lost to history. In the case of Maude Ad- ans, however, the lapse of years from her birth to her present age is so short

The man or woman with an irritable temper, restless, fdgety movements, fail ing memory and lack of concentration is suffering from crippled nerves. The lines of care, the palid cheeks, the wasting flesh, the dark circles under the eyes tell all too plainly of the worry, the pain, the loss of sleep and disturbed digestion, that break down the nervous forces and consume the vital power.

A Meeting of the Organization Held
 Yesterday.
