| HE Rev. Arthur H. Smith, author of
China in CONFUSION" and other valuable
books on that great country, contributes to last
week outlook paper on Present Con-
dltlons III China Mr.. Smith is one of the
very few men in the world who has large
knowledge and comprehension of the condi-.
tons in China, and the great and perplexinp
problems concerning that most important coun-
try III the East. He regards Russia as the
most dangerous neighbor that the Chinese En-
pre- has ever known She has not withdrawn
from Manchurla, and remains the constant
threat to Korea. Just now there is an armed
truce; the Anglo Japanese agreement and the
Russo-French declaration confronted Russia
Germany and Great Britain are pushing railroad
and other aggressive schemes A rebellion in
the South seems to fade away, and a rebellion
III the south of Chill province is not wholly
suppressed. A number of foreigners have been
murdered in extended sections The anti-for-
eiSn 1eeling generally remains very much fos-
tered by the heavy taxation to paw indennities
to the Western Powers The Chinese have NOT
md reason to like foreign nations better than
before. Mr.. Smith evidently thinks the West
ern Powers made a fatal mistake in the recog
milton and return of the Empress Dowager.
Her administration, with some externa1s of
courtesy and compliance remains essentially
and virtually ant-fOregn. The writer's con-
cltlson is that the hopefulness of the situation
Is IN the sleepless, al-pervasve and irresisti-
bic divine Providence working in and through
the wills of men" 'In this faith we look in due
time to see new China and an altered Far
East"

Saved From Death After
 Four Years Of Nervous ProStra- ton and Debility. Dr. Miles Nervine Cured
 Me Permanently.

Nervous prostration is the most serious of nervous disorders. It arises from some extra strain, which robs the nerves of strength, vitality and life The patient speedily loses self control, is subject to frlghtful headaches, faint spells melancholia and morbid tenden- cies. Too weak to drag the thin, wasted body around; unable to get sleep CT rest, life seems scarcely worth the living; the mind frequently broods until it becomes unbal- anced and insanity often results. Read what Dr. Miles Nervine did for Mrs Grabill:
 q was terribly afflicted with nervous trouble for nearly four years. was so bad at times that l could not help myself, nor carry a chair across the room without giving out. One physician attended me for year and half without giving me any help what ever and 1 also doctored with two others without any good results. My father and others wished me to try Dr. Miles Nervlne which, after lots of coaxing did. took six bottles of the Nervine and some of the Nerve and Liver Pills. was completely cured of my trouble and I heartily recommend 1t to any woman who IS suffering from nervous disorder l have used Dr. Niles Anti Pam Pills for headache and neuralgia with best results. 1 believe firmly in the efficacy of the Nerve and Liver Pills and am fully convin- ced that Dr. Miles Remedies saved my Ife."-MRS.

ENGLISH DEcADENCE

OverWorking and Underfeeding IS
 Ruining the British Physique.
 The topic of our physical dechne Is one which from time to time crops up on the surface of both scientific and social ad- fairs says Tho London Chronicle. The influence of city life and of sedentary oocupa tions was discussed years ago by pr. Miner Fotherg1il and by Mir. James Cantile. Their views were to the effect that a slow but sure process of decline in physique awaits the city-bred unit. and that his chances of survival practically depend upon constant infusion of new blood which comes into town from rural districts. It was Mr. Cantle. fancy. who asserted that it was rare to find third generation of the thoroughbred Cockney. The latest deAverance on this highly important topic comes from SIT James Crichton Browne, NJ. D. Speak ing as President of the medical section ot the international Congress for the Vel fare and Protection of Children, Sir James gave some interesting figures re- lative to the decadence exhibited In cer- tain classes of young operatives. Ills statistics were culled from Dundee. There 1t Is found that boys from II to l2 years old who work in the jute mills, and who should measure feet 12 inches, ac-
 
 age height of feet inches only. They should weigh P pounds, but of this weight they are ten pounds short. The girls are also 1-2 Hhches less than the normal and faP ye pounds below the standard wes
 Sr John hton Browne also assert ed, in connection with his remarks on our de,Yadence. that 30 per cent. of us are under-fed Despite the influx of the cOttn- tryDred into towns decay of physique continues, for of our population 77 per cent are town dwellers Sir James came down very heavily indeed on the lack Of maternal interest exhibited. Children, he says, are not properly nourished. Those of tne poor are badly fell and wel-to-do mothers delegate the duties of mater nity to feeding bottles ard French maids, ' do not think Sir James's opinions are likely to be seriously disputed Physiol- ogists know that the nutrition of children today is not what r ought to be, and If plenty of food b. forthcoming as often as not it Is not the proper kind or quality for the adequate nourtshment of the

 Each Chapter shall pay into the State Treasury a l5 cents per capita tax, to De due and payable the first day of each succeeding November. said tax to be de- voted to the maintenance and care of the old soldiers Article VI.
 We now have twenty Chapters that have not responded with this per capita tax which makes the funds for the old sol diers very low In fact depleted 1ne Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Williams will at once send notice to each Chap ter, reminding them of this obligation which is now past due.
 We ask each Chapter President to bring this matter before her Chapter at its next meeting and urge the sending of these per capita dues for soldiers fund at once to the Treasurer Mrs. J. N. Thomson. Tus- curnbia The amounts due each of the thirteen Veterans for November has just been forwarded to them, and we hope by January 1st all of these Chapters will respond with their per capita dues.
 Our Historian, Mrs. Harvey E. Jones, writes that she has recently communi- cated with the Historian of each Chap ter. and asked that they will send her some article or articles from their col lection of historical data, that will appear from time to time in the Historical De pa-tment of these r. D. c columns, and full credit will he given in the publi- cation of same to the Historian and her Chapter who sends the article. We hope that the State Historian will have many favorable replies to her letters. and thus gain A valuable collection of historical material The article which is sent may nf fo m PAfained in the Chapter, thus the Chapter Historian will lose nothing from the scrap-book collec- ton.
 We think greater results will come from the historical work when our Chapter Historians keep in touch with the State Historian. forming a circle of interest and working as if a wheel within a wheel Some Chapters which it has been our good fortune to know of. on this special line of work have collections and special ar engagements for preserving the data that will ever reflect credit on the Chapter and it's Historian.
 Let us urge that the Historian of each Chapter will send communications to the State Historian, telling of her manner of work, the success of her efforts. etc, that these articles may be published as 6 stimulus to each other.

 Nashville. Dec. f. 1902. Mrs. A. l.. DowdeH, President Alabama Division:
 I have today mailed to each Chapter in your Division a call for the roster of officers for the Appendix to the Minutes If not received by January b, 1903, they will not appear in the Minutes. Please see that they are sent in at once.
 Sincerely.
 Kate L. Hickman,
 Secretary. Mrs. Hickman asks that the President sees to it that each Chapter in her Di- vision sends the roster of its officers at once, and unless these rosters are re- ceived by January 15 they cannot appear In the minutes.
 There was q great demand at the recent IT. D. C. Convention for the early print ing of the Conventions Minutes. for which delays in the past the Secretary has in no way been responsible. but wait ing on delayed rosters. committees and the revision of the minutes has caused fhe publication to he delayed as late as April. To avoid this and to have the min 11tes ready for distribution earlier, Mrs. Hickman sends this urgent request for the rosters of all Chapter officers. We hope that the President of each Chapter in the Alabama Division will see that the roster of her officers is forwarded at once 10 Mrs. Jno. P.

Robert E. Lee Chapter.

Owing to the unpleasant weather on Friday, December 5, only few members of the Robert E. Lee Chapter met at the home Of the President to attend the reg ular monthly meeting.
 After the Chapter had repeated the Lords Prayer, the following program was carried out:
 Paper, By whom was slavery intro- duced into the South?v Mrs. T. l.. Ken nedy.
 The negro and his question" extract from speech of Hon. Chas. J. Haden. Atlanta, Ga. read by Mrs. W. w. Will Hams.
 Paper, The negro as a domestic before and after the war" Mrs. M. B. Whit field.
 Paper, Our black mammies," Mrs. W. W. Barnes.
 The paper by Mrs. Whitfield was well written and listened to with great deal of interest.
 The committee on furnishing room at the Soldiers Home. reported that the furniture had all been forwarded to Mountain Creek.
 Mrs. Dowdell in her usual charming maner, gave us a full report of the New Orleans Convention.
 After the business of the Chapter was dispensed with, Mrs. Barnes, assisted by her daughter, Miss Barnes. served the la dies with delightful refreshments.
 Mrs R. l.. Sanford,
 Corresponding Secretary. The following historical article was fur nished the Historian by the Sophie Bibb Chapter, and was taken from the diary of a Confederate soldier and dates from the time he left Port Hudson until he arrived at Johnson's Island. The length of this interesting article compels its publication in two sections, the first in today's issue, and the second part will appear next week.
