near Camden, with acres of ground which
will be used as an experimental station.
The land would be used principally to

TALKED ABOUT BOOKS
Professor Francis H. Green Addresses
Meeting Of Friends.

The yearly meeting under the care
Of the Concord Quarterly Meeting
Philanthropic Committee was held in
Friends Meeting House az Fourth and
West streets yesterday afternoon.
These meetings are held every month
within the limits OF the Concord quar-
terly meeting. but IS held in Whining
ton but once. The session yesterday
was given over entirely TO Professor
Francis II. Green, professor of Eng
lish literature i'm the state Normal
School at West Chester. who spoke on
Improper Publications"
He divided books into four classes.
first. the perennial; second. the an
nuals; third. the mushrooms: fourth,
the vicious and poisonous class. He
pointed ont the good books that should
be read rather than enumerate the bad
ones. His theme was rather with the
proper publications than with the inn
proper effusions that flood the literary
world. The only way 10 root out inn
proper books was TO Introduce good
ones. Professor Green told those pres
ent that IL was better 10 read a few
good books rather than numerous pub
/ lications that were useless.

Sleeplessness Is a
Sign of Nerve Trou-
BILE and Should
Be Looked To.

There are three different manifesta-
tions Of sleeplessncss.
First. hardly to sleep a wink all night,
second. to lie awake n long time before
FILLING asleep; third, to fall asleep soon,
waking up after several hours and then
find it hard to sleep again.
They mean that somewhere in the
nerve fibres. somewhere IN the brain
cells, somewhere in the blood vessels
that carry blood to the brain, something
is radically wrong, and must be righted.
OF the end may be worse than death.
To right It, take DR.. Niles Nervine.
Some other symptoms Of nerve trou-
bic are: Dizziness. Headache. Back
ache, Worry, Fretfulness. Irritability,
Melancholy. Lack OF Ambition.
They indicate diseases which may lead
TO Epilepsy Fits, st. Vitus' Dance.
Nervous Prostration, Paralysis. Insanity.
Nothing will give such quick and last
ing relief as DR.. Niles Nervine.

be justified by its present or prospective
commercial importance. To be perfectly
frank. very few foreign vessels enter TO
load or unload at this pont. If the en-
frances and clearances at Marcus Hook
were deducted Wilmington would present
a very sorry figure In our imports.
Wilmington has no wharfage facilities
whatever for a seagolng vessel OF the
usual size. and what few vessels that do
bring cargoes here are compelled to lay
on In the stream while their cargoes are
unloaded upon lighters and thus con-
veyed to Cand. This lack of wharfage IA
cdhties and the epparant indifference of
our business men to the importance OF
the city as a port prevents this office
from assuming the position which is 6ts
due. The reports ito the government estab-
lishes our position as a customs office and
Wilmington receives no credit, Of course
for imports which are released at other
ports and then brought here. Thus Phila-
delphla, New York and Baltimore receive
credit for imports which should have
bene brought through this office end thus
credited TO Wilmington.
