where else in the world. The reason5
of it are very easy to see, and reside in
those circumstances which distinguish
American life and customs from those Of
other nations II is not the stimulating
air or climate, for we have every known
climate It is not an inheritance, but
it is the striving induced by surrounding
conditions-the desire to be something
supposed by the individual to be better

parents had
The Old World is somewhat like one
Of those planets in which, after ages of
struggles, everything has come &c a

Of it after time frazzles the nerves.
Nervousness Disease
Many people think that nervousness is
simply an exhibition of irritability, which
shows itself in an unusual and unneces-
sary display Of the emotions, a quick
ness Of temper and peppery outpour-
ing Of words. These are the symptoms
of a certain form oisnervousness, and
possibly may NJ; be a display Of nerv-
business at all, but a result oil naturally
cross grained disposition.

Control and Cure of this Great American Disease
Easily Attained

disturbances, which are very different
from the traits of feeling OF the indi-
vidual ordinarily, will come. Hunt,
then. for the causes of the appearance
of nerves, that you may overcome them.
Avoid stimulants
In the first place, il may be that you
are using stimulants, tea and coffee in
excess; if you are man you are prob
ably smoking too much. You may be
working too intently upon one thing and
not taking sufficient exercise. You may
be oyereating, or taking too much rich
food that taxes the nerves of the
stomach, which calls in the nerves of
other parts Of the body to sympathize
with the outrages put upon II.
In short, you must canddly face the
facts and ascertain what laws of by
giene you are violating, for all Of US
do that in a greater or less degree.
Regulate your diet 50 that il will be
simple and nutritious Those who are
nervous should not drink tea or coffee
If yours IS an aggravated case, get a
change of some kind as soon as pos
sible, so that the nerves which have re-
ceiyed the constant usage OF daily life
will have a chance 70 recuperate, while
other sets OF nerves are brought into
action 10 relieve them.
Change is Necessary
Those who have an attack Of nervous
mess are very often those VINO have gone
through some great mental shock or
anxiety, or have received a blow through
the .oss Of loved ones or Of fortune,
or those who have gotten into a rut in
life, and one day follows another with
"a ronotony Of existence. For all such,
and many other cases, change is neces-
sary.
II It is not possible 10 90 away that
other scenes may cause other thoughts
and actions and bring variety, then be
inventive in doing the things of your
daily life in a different manner. Take
new walks and exercises. think nv
thoughts, study some books. or -
those which will give yoc ~ entirely
different view Of life
The nervous have a tendency 10 avoid
new acquaintance, but otter the com
ing in contact with other people will
bring a change which is helpful and d.
verting. Avoid taking medicines sug-
gested by syrnpathiziug friends. The

HANDS IN HIS RESIGNATION
CHIEF CLERK RoSS1TER TO QUIT
CENSUS BUREAU.
Expects to Engage In Business for
Himself-Warren r. Choate
May Be Successor.

William S. Rossster. chief clerk of the
census bureau. whose intention to resign
was announced in The Star at the time
of the resignation OF Dr. S. n. D. North
as director of the bureau. has sent his
resignation to the Secretary of Commerce
and Labor. and will probably quit the
government service in few weeks. Since
DR.. North left the bureau Mr.. Rossiter
has been conducting Its affairs. and will
continue to do so until E. Dana Durand.
appointed to succeed DR.. North, has been
confirmed by the Senate. Mr.. Durand' S
name has been held up by Senator La
Toilette. who is making an investigation
Of the census bureau. 1t Is thought that
the Wisconsin senator will make no spe-
cial effort to prevent the confirmation OF
Durand.
In discussing his plans with a Star
reporter, Mr.. Rossiter said that he had
been in the bureau for nine years and.
as it was getting time for him to con.
slider providing for the future, he had
concluded to enter business that would
be more profitable than his present posi-
ton. just what the nature of his future
occupation is. Mr.. Rossiter would not
say. He will not, however. live in
Washington.
Although he has been asked to remain
at his present post, Mr. Rossiter has come
to the conclusion that he has had enough
OF the government service. He expressed
the opinion in his talk with The Star
reporter that the census ONCE would
always be sort of storm center, a
place where a man would always be
under fire and one where his actions. no
matter what they were, would always
draw to him more blame than COM
mendation.
While no official statement has been
made on the subject. 1t is expected that
Warren R. Choate, at present chief clerk
of the bureau of corporations, will be
Mr.. Rossiter's successor
