Nervous debility is the forcrunntr

there are excuses or mental over

The first thing to do in nervous
debility is to stop the cause of the

ELECTION REFORM,
Two Bills For Primaries
introduced Thursday.
IN Amendment to Screen Law
Another to Ballots.
Mckenney's Bill Demands State.
ment Of Campaign Expenses.

i'pr' sentative. George g. Weeks of
farilcid introduced in the house yes
tcrday morning Maine primary cleo
tion law, which, if passed will put
Maine on the same footing as iMassa-
chusetts. New York and other states.
1t is likely that the bill will devotion
considerable argument on the floor of
The House. The act, which covers %
closely typewriter pages and repre-
s'-nts vast amount of work on the
Part OF the gentleman presenting it.
provides for the choosing of candidates
lhr pubic office by direct nominating
'lectionS. 1t embraces the salient fea-
lures o. all the direct primary laws,
but does not follow exactly the law Of
any particular State. 1t provides that
: the nominating primary on the year of
, the State election shall be held on the
: thlfd Monday in June. which is to be
known as Nomination Day" 1t
i further provides that not less than 80
nor more than 90 days before Nominal
ton Day the political parties, which at
! the preceding election polled at least
one per cent Of the entire gubcrnatorial
v"tc shall each of them hold state
convention. On the third Monday of
July the Governor and Council are to
canvass the returns of the Nomination
Day vote and announce the nominees
and direct the secretary of State to
place their names on the ballot for the
September election.
Another bill which is of interest,
especially to veterans Of the Civil War
! vas introduced by Fred II. Strickland
OF Bangor. 1t provides for the striking
| out Of the $500 property clause in the
act excmpting soldiers and sailors of
the Civil War from the payment of a
poll tax. The new bill leaves every
honorably discharged veteran of the
Civil War forever exempt from the
payment of Il poll tax in the State OF
Maine.

HER DISEASE IS
YER RARE
INDEED
It Is EIephantiaSis and Her
Weight Has Grown From
l49 to SIS Pounds.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Amicted with
a rare disease, elephantiasis. which
gives no sign Of abating, Mrs. Juliette
Felt is confined in the Kings County
Hospital, Brooklyn, her body slowly but
surely increasing in size. She now
weighs 525 pounds and is daily gaining
weight.
Physicians at the hospital declare it
is the most malignant and remarkable
case of elephantiasis that has been
brought to the attention of the medical
fraternity. Every step in the progress
of the disease. the hourly condition Of
the woman, her actions and moods, and
a complete history of the case are be-
ing carefully noted and kept for the
benefit of the medieal world.
Her skin resembles hat of an ele-
plant. 1t is thick, hard AMI coarse.
1t is said to be SO much like that of
an elephant that it would be difficult
to tell the difference. During the last
two years she has increased in weight
from $50 pounds to 525. The doctors de-
clare she may weigh more than half a
ton in ten years.
Mrs. Felt lived at $40 De Kalb ave-
nue., Brooklyn. She is SO years old, a
widow and a. two children. She is
5 feet ] inches in height and wears
glasses. Her complexion is fair and
her eyes blue.
Before Mrs. Felt was attacked by the
disease she weighed about 149 pounds.
Seven years ago she experienced an
itching sensation in the left leg. Some
days later the itching ceased, but it
was followed by a slight swelling.
Every month she noticed the swelling
was greater and 1t was accompanied by
pain.
Presently she began to get very
heavy. She took On weight rapidly on
the body, arms and legs. The face was
not affected. The body and the legs
seemed to Increase in size correspond
ingly. For a long while Mrs. Felt as
sumed she was merely increasing in
weight from natural causes, hut she
could not account for the twitching and
pain in her body.
