"NERVE WASTE"

One of the most helpful books on nerve
weakness ever issued is that entitled
"Nerve Waste" by DIR. Sawyer of San
Francisco, now in its fifth thousand.
This work Of an experienced and reput-
able physician is in agreeable ontrast
to the vast sum of false teaching which
prevails on this interesting subject. 1t
abounds in carefully considered and
practical advice, and has the two great
merits of wisdom and sincerity.
1t is indorsed both by the religious
and secular press. The Chicago Ad-
vance says: "A perusal of the book and
the application Of it's principles will put
health. hope and heart into thousands
Of lives that are now suffering through
nervous impairment"
The book is S1.O0, by mail. postpaid.

The valleys of the Arkansas and
the Grand constitute the richest part
of the state of Colorado, in mineral
wealth and in agricultural and man
ufacturing possibilities. 1t might,
perhaps, be difficult to say which OF
the two will surpsss the other in its
ultimate developments, but there is
certainly no room for rivalry on the
part of any other valley or section OF
the state. In the main valley of the
Arkansas from Leadville to the state
line is to be found every variety OF
soil and climate, every kind of pre-
cious metal and mineral, and abund-
ant water supply and everything that
is necessary to build up and support
a dense population in continuous
prosperity. The slopes of the valley
extend southwark to the state line
and north to the Divide. They in
clude the cities of Leadville, Salida
Buena Vista. Cripple Greek, Colora-
do Springs, westcliffe, Canon City,
Florence, Pueblo, La Junta, Las
Auimss, Lamar, Trinidad and others.
No part of the state is making a
more rapid growth at the present
and it's possibilities of development
will be for many years to come illim
table. The great valley OF the
Grand river is not 80 far along in

SIMPSONS friends and Admiral
Schley's friends in the navy and out

And yet there are a few newspapers
conducted in such execrable taste as
to keep up the cry that Admiral
Schley Is being persecuted by the
president and the navy department.
This, of course, is for effect. 1t is
not in Admiral Schley's interest, but
in the interest of the Democratic
party. The artifciality of the move
ment is so clear and the anlmus OF
those engaged in the movement is 80
apparent that the people are not like
ly to be influenced either way.
But it is inevitable that many in
clined to take an impartial view will
say that if Admiral Schley's cause
needs such support as this his case
must be weak. In the interest OF
Admiral Schley himself and IN the
intesest of decency these mischief
makers should be silenced.-1nter

keepers and other advertisers from the pillars of

by the appearance Of the men. The signs were

valuable signs were made useless ana attempts
made stop the railroad employees but the
police refused interfere The storekeepers ad-
rnitted that they received notice thirty days ago
that unless the signs removed in two weeks
they would be torn down. Evidently they did not
believe the railroad company sincere in its state

WIDENING OF LIVINGSTON-sT.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial upon the proposed widening
of Livngston-st. intnates the danger OF municipal
jobbery. Corruption in connection with street inn
provements IN great cities has become so common
that there is general for apprehension. but
this should be allowed to retard the measure
of relief much needed in the Borough of
Brooklyn.
The overcrowding of Fulton-st has been cause
of serious complaint and public protest for ten
years past. The masses of people visiting the
great department stores. and the almost iunumer-
able trolley cars that maintain continuous line
upon the thoroughfare. not TO speak OF the ele-
waited road. have made IL both disagreeable and
dangerous

FOR 4 SHORT CUT FROM FL4TBUSH

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: l notice your editorial on the widening Of
Livingston-st.. in this borough II is very needfu
that some relief shall be given TO Fulton-st- but
in my opinion no widening OF any street the
southern side OF Fulton-st. will be of any use as
a relief measure The relief must come on the
bridge side OF Fulton-st. I have been a resident
OF this city for forty-four years and observed its
progress and drift OF travel in that length of time
and have arrived NJ the above conclusion
Travel diverted south OF Futon-st., even II that
could be done. would have 10 seek its outlet tow
ard the bridge-toward the two bridges when Bridge
No. 8 is built. Much discussion of the cutting
through OF Flatbush-ave. direct 70 the bridge has
been had in the past and IL should have been ac-
complished this. for IN my judgment II is the
only permanent relief OF Futon-st.. and IL would be
easy divert the travel in that direction. for ii Is
the natural one. Besides. IL would be a great ad-
vance in beautifying this borough. and furnish an
elegant opportunity of calling it Stranahan-aye
Open Flatbush-aVe. 10 the bridge, call IL Stran-
