Exchange on New York %, OOO-Gov-
eminent Was Entirely without
Funds Last April.

Washington, May IA. - A gloomy
picture of the terrible plight in which
Colombia finds itself as the result of
the exhausting four years of rebellion
is contained in q communication which
has reached this city from source Of
unquestionable reliability. These adj
vices state that on March /, last, the
government gave notice that it had
stopped the issue of paper money that
was flooding the country, and had
turned the Autograph plates from
which it was made over to committee
composed of prominent members of
different political parties.
Governsaent Then Went Broke.
Consequently, the government early
in April was almost entirely without
funds. 1t had not enough to pay run
ming expenses. to say nothing of for
eign claims and demands. Not a cent
of interest mad been paid on the ma
tional debt since the war commenced
in 1899 The claims growing out of
the recent revolution were assuming
tremendous proportions, and as there
was no other means of relief it was
apparent that the government again
must have recourse to the Autograph
stones and start the presses running
again.

Moreover, it was the general opinion
that even the small measure of relief
which might follow the receipt of the

account of the Panama canal could mo-
be obtained, as it was not expected
that congress would ratify the treaty

Gen. Bells Sale of Rice.

Washington. May 16.-General J..
Franklin Bell, who recently returned
from the Philippines. has had quito
a long conference with Secretary Root.
General Bell has been assigned TO COM
mand the military school at Fort
Leavenworth, Kan. The sale of lice
during the campaign in Batangas. and
which recently has been the subject
of comment on account of criticism
in the report of General Miles, was
not mentioned during the conference.
Secretary Root considers the whole
rice transaction closed incident. He
has been cognizant of all the facts for
some time, and regards the action of
General Bell as one Of military neces-
sity, and holds that General Bell
would have been remiss in his duty
had he not acted as he did.

The strain is a nervous one. and comes
from a three-fold cause.-The strain upon

strain upon the body. All three unite TO

that tire. rather than the muscles OF the

wanted. The nerves must be quieted.
When the stomach manifests a craving
for food II neans that food must be given
TO 1t; and when the nerves twitch and show
that they need exercise IT shows that ex-
ercise must be given TO them.
For the woman whose head Is constantly
moving about, who Jerks iE her chair. who
continually moves the position OF her knees.
there is an exercise which will help her.
This consists OF throwing back the head
as far as possible. 1t opens the chest and
rests the back, thus giving exercise to the
muscles of the front OF the body.
No matter what you DO. remember that
the main object is to rid yourself OF nerves.
and that the popular girl will never be a
nervous girl.
Do not forget that the mind eIerts a
great deal of influence over the body; and
that your cure must be q mental one as
well as a physical one.

they are not so.

They had nerves" and they were proud
of them; the more nerves the better.
The society belle OF a generation ago. or
two generations ago-your grandmother
herself-was compelled to take shifts OF
ammonia to keep her alive during the day;
she nibbled seeds from a little hand reti-
cule: she tapped with her little silken-shod
foot upon the floor in an agony Of nerves
at the slightest unpeasantnessi and she
! could not be crossed in any way, In an
argumen or otherwise.
An alteration with the cook would drive
her TO bed for a week.
The woman of to-day has no nerves, or
IL she has. she seeks to hide them.
The popular woman is the woman Of tenn
permanent, but without nervous shocks.
She learns to subdue herself and her pet
ulance. and such emotions as she has she
keeps hidden from the world and from her
self.
WOMEN WHO FIDGET.
You can tell the nervous woman when
you meet her.
She taps with her foot upon the floor; she
fdgets; her fingers loosely work upon a
chain which hangs from her neck; she
witches the buttons upon her gown: she
bites her lips; she winks repeatedly; she
bitches about and is uneasy; she signs: she
is the embodiment of unrest.
But the popular girl does not do any OF
these things. II naturally nervous she has
learned to control her nerves She has
taken. a course In nerve culture. and she
does not let her nerves manifest them
selves.
One OF her exercises is to place both feet
upon the floor and keep them there. OF
course. her shoes are comfortable. and her
feet are in good condition. She has no
aching joints. bunions. corns nor rheuna-
tism.
Toe often the twitching feet Of a woman
near twinges OF pain. and the feet must
twitcb because Of their smarting.
But there is no excuse for aching feet
and the girl who want to be pretty and
popular will rid herself of them So also
will the girl who wants TO be a society
leader" for all the popular qualities are
embraced in leadership.
=. Unless a woman understands how 20 be
popular she viii never be a leader.
And If she is nervous. she cannot lead
society. That much is certain. y
Nervousness often comes from lack of
exercise. and on that account the popular
girl VIII take sufficient exercise SC that
she viii not be nervous.
To keep the feet quiet there IL no ex-
ercise as good as trotting.
Put on a gymnasium suit. &C insisting of
short skirt and knickerbockers. and a
blouse Take on your corsets and loosen
your clothing.
