Every day medical science becomes more
simple-and more certain Simplicity ana
certainty go hand in hand. For science has
learned that while there many diseases.
yet there are but few real causes or disease
That is there are many names by which
we know aches and pains and disorders. But
most of these ailments spring from com
mon cause For Instance Indigestion, sour
stomach heartburn. dyspepsia, and all ston-
ach Observation-Disclosures, Bright's disease ana
other kidney disorders-heart troubles hFef

ness sIeepiessness. Irrltabtiity-al or THESE
ailments are due TO single cause Painful

they are not separate diseases-and they are
not to be treated such. They are merely
outward signs of inward troubie-iefFe 'fou-
BILE.
Understand first that have two entirely
separate nerve systems. When We walk or
talk or act we call into play a certain SET
Of nerves-nerves which obey our mental
commands That is why the arm can be
raised or the mouth opened or the eye shut
at the slightest desire That is why your
fingers can deIicately pick up pin one mo-
merit and hold a heavy hammer the next
But these are not the nerves we are to
consider here.
There Is another set of nerves which man
ages and governs and actuates the heart and
the stomach. the kidneys and the liver ana
all of the vital functions. You cannot CON
troll these nerves. BY no supreme effort OF
mind can you make your heart stop or start
nor can you even make it vary by single
beat :. minute And with the stomach
and the liver ana the kidneys and the bowels
they are automatiC-they do their work at
a certain set speed whether you are awake
or asleep-whether you want them To or
not
1t is on these inside nerves that life and
health depend. So long these nerves per
form their proper duties We are well and
strong When they fail, we know it by the
inevitable symptoms-stomach. heart. liver,

DECLINES To DINE
At WHITE HOUSE
Speaker Cannon First to
Violate Old Custom.
PRECEDENCE CAUSE OF ACT
Would Have Been Compelled to Yield
to Justice Harlan-May Give
Him Another Dinner.

Speaker Cannon IS perhaps the first
person to decline an invitation to dine at
the White House.
At all state dinners it is the custom to
give precedence in the following order:
First, of course, the President, then Vice
President, the presiding officer of the
Senate, and the Speaker of the House
of Representatives.
At the dinner given night before last
to the Supreme Court it was decided
that as the dinner was for the court. the
Chief Justice would take In Mrs Rooss-
welt. Chief Justice Fuller is in mourn
ing for his wife and could not attend.
The ranking justice was Justice Harlan.
When Speaker Cannon learned that
this was to be the order of things, and
that the court was 10 be given prefer
cHce. he wrote note declining the invt-
tation and begging TO be excused.
It is likely that Il dinner will be given
to Speaker Cannon, SO that his prece-
dence may be recognized.
Had Speaker Cannon been given pref
eTence at the court dinner, the justices
would have been offended.

DECISION IS WITHHELD
Virginia Railroad Commission Completes
Hearing at Alexandria and
Goes to Richmond.

ALEXANDRIA, Feb. AFTER being
in session two days the State corpora
ton commission completed it's labors and
returned to Richmond last night. It's de-
cision in regard to the demands of the
peopie OF Alexandria to compel the
Washington. Alexandria and Mt. Vernon
Railway Company TO make certain Inn
provemcnts in the road, will be an
nounced in a few days
Clarence z King. president OF the
electric line between this city and Wash
ington, took the stand for the defense
late yesterday afternoon. Mr.. King de-
MED that all the statements made by
witnesses concerning the condition of
his road were true. He said that when
he became president OF the road two and
one-half years ago, it was paying no
dividends, and was in very bad finan-
cial condition. Last year the road did
pay dividend he said. in order to
make a showing to borrow money to
make improvements. His road had Dor
roWed more than enough money to make
all the improvements asked by the peo-
pie of Alexandria, which would involve
an expenditure Of over $500, 600.
Promises Fine Railway.
He promised that in short time they
railways between this city and Wash
ington that could be found anywhere in
the United States.
Mr. King closed his speech with the
request that the commission would not
enter an order compelling the road te
make the Improvements and providing a
fine for not doing it within a certain
time, saying that the people of this city
would get what they wanted and the
road did not want an order hanging over
! it's head.
After Mr.. King had finished speaking
Gardner L. Boothe. corporation attor-
ney, addressed the commission. He
urged that the commissioners enter the
order compelling the road to make Ger
tain changes within a specified time and
| fixing a fine in case the order was not
carried out. He thought that If the
road was willing to do these things any
how 1t would not mind the order of the
commission.
R Walton Moore. for the defense
urged the commission not to impose any
carry out the order within a certain
| time He considered that the word o
| President King, under oath, was suffi.
cicnt to insure the people of Alexandra
| a firSt-class railroad.
Tired of Promises.
Leo P. Harlow. attorney for the Com
muters' Association, closed the argu
mont. He said that the people of Alex
andria were tired of promises.
