The Harm Noise Does.
From the London Family Doctor.

frOili the IontOn Family Doctor.
Noise Is an undoubted factor In impairing
the tone of the nerve centers Whether
we are conscious of 1t or not, it hurts the
brain and has a deafening, dazing, bewil-
dering effect on the mental processes. 1t
tires the brain and tends to produce cere-
bpal hyperemia. To live in a noisy atmos-
phere is to shorten ones days. Irritabili.y
neurasthenia, insomnia are common effects.
The tympanum drum membrane of the
ear is Injured. the circulation of the cere-
spinal fluid is disturbed, and the nerve
cells themselves suffer as though subjected
to mechanical violence.

Some Discord in Virginia.

asked about the reports of republican d s.

Two Trees to Be Planted.


Every President for a number of years
has planted tree in the White House
grounds. Some of those that have been
planted are large shade trees by this time.
The President will follow the example of his
predecessors next Monday, Washingtons
birthday. At 2:30 O'Clock Monday after
noon two fern-ieaf beech trees will be
planted near, the east terrace, one by
President Roosevelt and one by Mrs. Roose-
yelt. The holes were dug today, and are
on each side of the east entrance to the
executive mansion. near the avenue be-
tween the White House and Treasury De-
partment. The ceremony will not be
public one. That theEhistery of the plant
ing and of the trees may be preserved,
Col Symons, the officer IN Charge of public
buildings and grounds viii keep the spades
that are used by The President and his
wife. On each spade he will place chart
and printed legend The spades will be
placed in the office of the superintendent
of public buildings and grounds.
The history and identity of some of the
trees that have been planted by Presidents
have been lost because no records of the
events were kept and no chart of the trees
preserved. Before the White House was re-
modelled two handsome magnolia trees
stood where the beeches are to be planted,
but in the work of changing the grounds,
nearly two years ago, these were destroyed.
They were dug up and replanted. but did
not live.

At THE White HOUSE
Senator Fairbanks Urged In

HIS RECENT TELEGRAM
THE INDIANA sENATeR AND THE
VICE PRESIDENCY.
Coming State Republican Conventions
in Maine, New York and Virginia
Offer to Col. symons.

A prominent Indiana caller at the White
House today called attention to what he re-
CARDS as a significant telegram sent from
here a few days ago to the chairman of
the republican district convention that as
sembied at Kendallville, Ind. and elected
delegates to the republican national con-
vention instructed to vote for the nomina-
ton of President Roosevelt. The telegram
of Senator Fairbanks was sent prior to the
assembling of the convention, and was as
follows:
''It is quite timely and fitting that the con-
vention to select delegates to the national
convention should instruct those delegates.
There is but one candidate and he deserves
our most cordial support 1t will be graft
flying If the convention tomorrow will in
struct for the nomination of our able, faith
full and patriotic President. Theodore Roose
Welt. With good candidate for Congress
and vigorous campaign we should redeem
the twelfth district for Congress this year.
Please convey to the convention my con-
CALCULATIONS and best wishes"
1t is pointed out that not only does the
telegram show the sincerity of the support
Senator Fairbanks is giving President
Roosevelt, which in itself is of interest
among those who have continued to suspect
the Indiana senator of lukewarmness, but
1t shows that Senator Fairbanks is close
enough to the administration to become
the running mate of the President his
year. 1t is the belief of some Indiana peo-
pie who are ardent followers of Senator
Fairbanks. that he does not object to the
use of his name in connection with the vice
presidential nomination of the republican
party and that he will accept the nominal
tion if it is made by the convention.
Indiana men who are pretty close to
Senator Fairbanks represent that he is by
no means charmed with political life. and
that he would probably be well pleased
to round out his career as Vice President
as to remain in the Senate as a senator
from his state. If this represents the view
or Senator Fairbanks. and he is in pas
sive attitude to the vice presidency, his
friends will continue their efforts for him,
and the prediction is made that he will
come very near being the nominee unless
there should be developments that are not
looked for. 1t is considered worth COM
ment that Senator Fairbanks is cogniZant
of the suggestions from influential sources
that he ought to be nominated and of work
that is doing for him. but that he takes no
steps to interfere. sjv-s
