Much sickness is due to nerv-
Gus troubles. Headache, diz-
ziness, epilepsy and insanity are
nervous troubles. Then there
is a large class of disorders
which arise from a weakness of
the nerves of an organ or part,
as weak lungs, heart, stomach,
kidney, bladder, eyes, etc.
Dyspepsia and indigestion are
usually the result of nervous
disorders.

MYSTERY IN TWO CAMPAIGNS.

He stage OF mystery has been reached in
- both the Philadelphia and the New York
municipal campaign Dark hints of exposures
are talked about in undertones. Correspondents
declare that something is going to happen.
Cards are held up sleeves "last cards" which are
expected to turn the tide of the campaign. Stor-
les there are that the Philadelphia machine is
preparing to blow up the reform candidates with
verbal bombs, and the reform candidates are
ready TO hit back. The trouble with stories that
might be circulated by the Philadelphia machine
is that they would not be believed. They
would at least be taken with peck of salt The
value Of "last cards." however, as campaign ma
terial may we'll be questioned Unless a man
is notoriously unfit for an Office the people are
not likely to be affected by late exposures. They
generally know something about the character
OF candidate as soon as he is nominated. Ii
does not take them long to measure a man. And
a candidate who goes along in campaign for
some weeks without being Shown up is not
likely TO suffer by any late hour exposure
In New York. Of course, there is more inter-
est than in Philadelphia. correspondent Of
the Washington Star writing from New York
declares that there is hot talk in the air. A COM
bnation OF hot talk and hot air, it seems. Ugly
charges arc possible and innuendoes are banded
about, he says. There must be something very
bad If it is not made public in New York
This correspondent presents the situation i'll
light somewhat different from that pictured by
others. 1t appears that the fight is really be-
tween rival corporations that want to control the
rich privileges that go with the administration OF
government in New York One set Of corpora
tionists want the Tammany ticket elected. They
may object, perhaps to Judge Gaynor, but the
rest OF the ticket suits their purpose exactly.
And. of course Mr.. Gaynor as Mayor is an un-
known quantity. The Fusionists are said 10
support another set of corporation owners.
Thus the battle is fought. The rivals are play
ing for millions. If this surmise is correct the
people arc left in the cold, they often are.
But municipal politics, especially in the larger
cities, is a game played by corporations for con-
troll OF franchises and the furtherance of private
Interests.

Editorial
Opinion
Policemen in Portland.

St. Paul Dispatch.
The cities Of the West are never afraid
Of innovations. This Is one explanation OF
tho existence Of policowomen IN Portland
and Seattle. The other explanation must
be found in tho fact that these cities have
discovered that policewomen are needed
in the business OF maintaining order and
solving problems Of order in the large
cities. Tho old theory that men ore the
criminals and must be policod by men is
giving way before the fact that there do
appear from time 10 time women crimi-
nails that can be saved before crime fixes
them permanently as its possession. In
Portland there is a woman on the police
force who has done efficient work In con-
ncction with The Young Women's Chris
tian Association--another vital factor in
large towns IN tho ordering of the city.
She has also accomplished much as a pro-
baton officer. Having served her term in
these the woman was ready when Port
land decided that II required a pollcewo-
man. She is a regular member Of the de-
partment, with the same recognition
shown TO men. In Seattle there Is also
policewoman, although her appointment
Is temporary-during the Ala ka-Yulxon
Exposition. In all probability, however,
Seattle will find this one policewoman OF
such value that she viii be retained.

A FIGHT AGAINST VICE.

HE Chicago newspapers are leading in
y great battle against vice in that city. All
the reform forces, or perhaps the people that
stand for decency--for reform forces in these
days are too often considered merely as the outs
who want to get in--are lined up in a desperate
battle against vice and corruption. The United
States District Attorney, the Prosecuting Attor-
ney OF the city the Commercial and Civic clubs,
and various other organizations are preparing
for furious strife. The condition of things in
Chicago, the White Slave traffic as depicted by
the Chicago Tribune and the other papers is al
most unbelievable. Vice evidently is as rampant
within stones throw Of virtue as it was in
anv of the ancient cities whose names we re-
gard as synonyms of vice Human beings are
held in chattel slavery, worse than that of negro
slavery before the war. Men have grown rich
in the traffic. They number their retainers by
the thousands. These feast and fatten upon vice
But those who are fighting the parasites realize
that desperate struggle is before them Grim
inal prosecutions in large cities are more dig
foult than people imagine but the cleansing Of
Chicago can be accomplished il the people will
it. lndecency can never triumph over decency
permanently.

-OSES A REAL LEG,
ALSO WOODEN ONE

BAY SHORE. L. J., oct 2o.--It seems as
4 destiny decreed that Albert Sp. ague
should go through life without a right
leg
Three years aso, when sprague was
twenty-four years old, he was a brake
man on the oyster Bay division Of the
Long Island Railroad when one day, at
Locust Valley he fell under the ioeomo-
tive and the wheels passed over his leg.
He sued tho company for $4,000. alleging
that a bolt on the pilot had slipped and
he recovered q verdict Of $4,000.
With part OF this money sprague bought
a wooden leg and he had been doing well
with It ever since until last Saturday
night Then. as he was driving a horse
and runabout on the south country road,
an automobile crashed into him, tore the
wooden leg from its fastenings and shiv-
cred It to fragments. More vital parts OF
his anatomy were also cut and bruised,
and he is in a hospital IN a serious con-
dition.
The automobile which was occupied
oni: by a chauffeur, got away, but an in
vcstigatlon is being made.

HOW THEY HELp ANARcHY.

There was no Goldman meeting Sunday night
A handful Of odd looking people gathered about

against Emma that the campaign is directed, but
also against her press agent, DR. Ben Reitman,
a queer bedizened citizen.
What we want TO do is to give them no pubs
licity, 10 keep quiet about them, and nothing
would be heard Of them. II the newspapers
would say nothing, they would disappear This
was what one Of the directors of the Philadel-
phia police said about the matter.

She is permitted to smile but not to

No hair puffs, rats, false curls nor

young ladies must do up their hair
neatly and without the exaggerations
of the present styles of hair-dressing,
some of which the Hottentot women
have been wearing for decades.
No Swiss cheese--otherwise peek-a-

lars arc forbidden. but high collars
reaching even to the ears may be
worn. Shirtwaist sleeves must be

A wealthy farmer IN New York whipped
a balky horse and while engaged in this
rather violent effort. he fell over dead.
We would not say that this re- ult was
in the nature OF a retribution for a fool
ish and cruel act. IL is possible that the
eXertion so affected the action Of the
heart that death was the consequences.
But the incident should call attention
to the fact that the whipping Of balky
horse Is a risk that no man Of sense
should accept. For II a man is not killed
