concerned, and he probably will never
deliver another address on box office

world.

proved disastrous both financially and
in amount of enthusiasm he awakened.
1t cost the Civic Forum thousands of
dollars, and the explorer didn't get
anywhere near the amount of money
he expected.
When he left for England a few
months ago he said he would never
lecture here again. "Peary has a
right to be sore at American people. -
his friends say. "They paid their
money for gold brick, but wouldn't
subscribe to the genuine article"
Cook made cleanup, some say as
much as SIS, 900, in his few lectures
here before his story was attacked.
1t was in the South where Peary re-
ceived the worst frost. He was booked
for six cities, but two of these were
cancelled because of poor business,
while the other engagements showed a
deficit.

WAR IN SPAIN INEVITABLE.
Presender Don Jaime Ready to Lead
CarIists to Battle.


San Sebastian. Spain--At the con-
clusion Of conference between King
Alfonso and Premier Csnalejas, it was
announced that Marquis Emilio de Ole
da, Spanish ambassador to the Vatican,
had been recalled.
At the same time the opinion was
expressed that rupture with the Vat
lean was inevitable. Senior Canalejas
told the king that the government
could not accept the conditions Of the
Vstican's last note, end that the Vati-
can would be so informed.
Don Jaime, the pretender, has il
sued manifesto in which he says he
will lead the Csrlists in the battle
which he intimates il coming soon.
The general situation is complicated
by the unrest among the miners in the
Catalonian provinces and the occasion
81 clashes between the Catholic and
non-Cathloic elements throughout the
country.
Marquis de Ojeda himself in addition
to pleading illness, has been insisting
on his return, on the ground that the
position ut Rome no longer was tens-
Bile, and that he considered a rupture
between the Vatican and tie govern
ment imminent.
Premier Canalejas. referring to the
Vatican's last note, which declared
that unless the decree Of June ii per-
mitting non Catholic societies to dis
play the insignia Of public worship was
withdrawn, negotiations looking to the
revision Of the concordat would be dis
continued, said the government would
tolerate no imposition.
Spain's recalling Ambassador de
Ojeda. it is expected, will be followed
by the departure from Madrid Of Mgr.
Vico, the papal nuncio, when the rup-
ture will be complete.
Senior Canalejas is preparing for a
supreme battle. In addressing a Lib
eral organization he declared that
Spain WAS struggling for liberty Of
conscience, Poor Spsin," he said.
"If we suceumb, it will be decadence.
The government, which possesses the
confidence Of the king, will save Spain
despite all and against all. The strug-
gle we wage is not anti-religious, but
anti-clerical. We count upon the
army, majority in parliament, and
reason"

To Nervous Woman

Avoid haste and hurry; these are
the things that confuse the brain and
make clear judgment impossible. The
besetting temptation of the nervous
woman Is to hurry from one duty to
another in breathless haste, attempt
ing many tasks. yet achieving none
of them with dignity or freedom.
When such a temptation arises, call
a halt Remain quiet for a few min
utes; summon back your self-posses-
sion, and refuse to do in one hour
work that should be spread over two.
Habituate yourself to the control OF
the emotions. Nothing makes such
havoc of the nervous system, nothing
discrepancies the inner life like anger.
fear. worry. These forces must be
quelled If the soul is to maintain its
supremacy and nervous peace is to be
enjoyed; and this is done, not, indeed.
by fiat of the will. but by substitu-
ting for these destructive emotions
such constructive ones as love, aspira-
ton after some ideal. faith In God, and
reverence for the divine order OF life.
