H ERVOUS men rule the world. They
M are the salt Of the earth, says DR..
Alfred T. schoneld in his book on
Nerves IN Disorder'' THE leading
men in every profession are drawn
from their ranks They are men with brains
that thrill, that feel, that are quick in action,
firm. clear, and of high organization. 1t is
the nervous men that rule the world, not
Emphatic vegetables"
People Of q low level Of nervous organiza-
ton are persons Of small initiative, everyday
accomplishment, and meager Imagination
They do not suffer severely under the pangs
Of an outraged fortune. nor do they, like
Shelley, fall upon the thorns OF life and
bleed" but. on the other hand, they are less
capable of enjoyment. Their range of de-
lights is decidedly circumscribed. Their
thinking powers are but narrow.
The nervous nber capable Of the highest
development and differentiation is the brain.
" The Man with the Hoe is a clod compared
with the quick vitted captains OF industry.
the quicker witted master OF millions, and
the quickest Of highest OF minds in the scien-
tist. inventor. and artists. There is as much
difference between the two types as between
the sluggish toad and the far-ranging. but
straight to the mark, bird Of passage.

Nerves Are Mainsprine.
In the progress of civilization, as the
strain upon the body has become less that
on the nerves has become more. The body
is, however, given even more attention today
than ever before. at any rate theoretically,
il not practically. since It is fully recognized
as the very necessary servant OF the brain
and mind. This is coming more and more
to be considered its chief function, and the
chief reason for keeping It in health, that
It may obey orders quickly and work with
out painful or distracting intermissions for
the mind. The nerves or the nerve fbers are
the handspring, but the body as the wheels
can decidedly obstruct movement by getting
clogged.
The nerves impose hard tasks upon the
body, but stint not their own efforts. The
body Is a dependent, for the nervous system
is the agent in nearly every bodily activity.
where there is nervous irritability or de-
bility the body naturally behaves some
what erratically under such an agency. Such
guidance may be compared to the blind
leading the blind, although it is more like
the weak tyrannizing over the strong.
Dr. schofield says that the manifestations
Of nervous irritation are numerous and
characteristic. Physically they may in
cIude constant or intermittent movements
Of body and face, sharp ringing cough, sud
den hoarseness, quick and irregular breath
ing, starting, twitching. flushing, palpita-
ton Of the heart tenderness Of the scalp or
spine, headaches at the top and back Of the
head, congested look Of the eyes, noises IN
the ears. sleeplessness. dyspepsia and hatu-
lence. perspiration, flying pains and cramps,
and neuralgia Of various parts.

Virtues Offset Some Evils.

Fortunately some Of the evils Of the nerv-
Gus life, the evils inherent as 1t were in the
nervous system, lean to virtues Sids- There
are two particular principles Of growth in
the progress and decay of civilization which
seem TO be connected with the evils OF the
modern nervous life. says DR.. Partridge.
These principles can be called C) the pr1n-
ciple OF increasing mentality. and CD the
principle Of increasing naturalization. Chem
teal compounds, already highly eXcitable,
unstable and complex, become Increasingly
so in forming the nervous system. The Geli-
cacy OF balance. the intricacy OF these com
pounds, has increased as activity has become
more complex and mind has become domi-
nant in the world. Mind appears as effort,

accomplish. and conditions to which the body
must adapt itself With increasing intensity

Wants More Time.

Atlanta, Aug. 22.-Five days is not
sufficient time in which to read and
sign the bills passed during the con-
Guiding days of the legislature, ac-
cording to Gov. Joseph M. Brown. The
work comes too much in a rush, he
declares, and is not fair to the execu-
tive in that it gives him too little
time to go over the various measures
carefully and give them the serious
consideration they deserve before re-
ceiving the official signature.
This year, laying aside all other
business, locking the door, and stick
ing to it ten hours day, Governor
Brown and Secretary Jess Perry had
their hands full to the very limit.

curfew Ordinance for Atlanta.

Atlanta, Aug. 22.-Data will be sub
mitted to City Attorney Mayson this
week by persons interested in local
reform with view to having him
draft curfew ordinance.
The proposed law, if it can be de-
vised along constitutional lines, will
prohibit children from being on the
street at all, except accompanied by
their elders, after 8 o'clock at night,
winter and summer alike.
Some doubt has been expressed as
to whether the measure could be leg

their children to go ON the street after

Attempted to End His Life.

Early yesterday morning Mr.. Ed.
Benton, a one-legged veteran at the
Soldiers Home, attempted to end his
life by severing an artery In his left
arm. AS a result of the attempt at
self-destruction he Is now In the
hospital at the Home in a very criti-
cal condition, with but very little
hope for his recovery.
He has been at the Home for the
past twenty years and In very poor
health for sometime. Yesterday
morning a nurse discovered that he
had opened an artery in his left arm
and had lost nearly gallon of blood
When he was spoken to in regard
to the rash act, he replied that Il
may just as well die this way, as
am going to die anyway"
1t was a pitiful thing TO think that
an old man should wish to commit
any such an attempt at self-destruc-
ton. He is getting very old and it
is thought that poor health and the
thought Of not living long led him to
wish to end his life.-From to-day's
