Why Diseases Become Chronic.
Nerve Force Regarded by
Scientists as More Import
ant Than the Blood.
A $4.0o TREATMENT FREE.

The blood was formerly regarded as
the llfe-giving principle and to its con-
dition was attributed all that there was
OF health or illness. Now. psychologists
know that nerve force and vitality are
the same, and that the constitution,
good or bad, depends upon nerve force.
Nerve force controls all motion, SEN
sation, digestion and nutrition. An
abundance of this subtle energy means
health and vigor; lack of it causes
general debility, nervous prostraton,
premature decline, disease and death.
Nerve force is chiefly generated in the
brain, and therefore in the treatment
OF all lingering diseases the condition
of the brain centers should be carefully
considered and treated One great
cause of diseases becoming chronic is
that physicians overlook the fact that
deficiency of nerve force is the chief
cause OF most diseases. Nervous pros
tration is due to lack of nerve force.

WHAT MINERS WANT.
Mitchell Reiterates Demands Made at tn 9
Shamokin Convention.


The statement Of the anthracite min g
workers case, which was filed with the
strike com mission on Sunday night, has
been made public. Copies Of the state
ment have been furnished to the oper-
ators, who will reply in three or four
days. The miners statement, signed by
President Mitchell, is as follows:
1.-THE mine workers make of the oper-
ators the following demands, which were
formulated by the Shamokin convention
held March 1s to "a, and for the enforce
ment OF which the strike was inaugural
ed.
"First.--An increase OF 20 per cent
upon the prices paid during the year
1901 to employees performing contract or
piece work.
"Second.-A reduction of 90 per cent
In hours OF labor without any reduction
Of earnings for all employees paid by the
hour, day or week. The second de-
mand is similar to the first in that it is
designed to increase the hourly rate of
wages OF mine workers employed by the
hour, day or week.
"Third.-The adoption of system by
which coal shall be weighed and paid
for by weight wherever practicable;
the minimum rate per ton to be go cents
for legal ton Of 2,240 pounds; the diff
ferentlals now existing at the various
mines to be maintained
"Fourth.-The Incorporation in an
agreement between the United Mine
Workers of America and the anthracite
coal companies OF the wages which shall
be paid and the conditions OF employ
ment which shall obtain, together with
satisfactory methods for the adjustment
OF grievances which may arise from
time to time to the end that strikes and
lockouts may be unnecessary.
Each demand is followed by lengthy
reasons supporting the claim.
Although yesterday was election day
the strike commissioners continued
their Investigations so that they could
finish their tour Of the mining region as
soon as possible. The commissioners
left Hazleton early In the morning for
Shamokin, where John Fahy, president
OF the United Mine Workers Of District
o, boarded the special train and accom-
panied the arbitrators through that
territory. The day was spent in visit
