WHY WE ARE NERVOUS.
New York American.

NNS" EulSIltdH.1
Almost every little ar great ailment
throughout our system affects your
nerves. Your ives and liver and lungs
and stomach and heart and many
other things throughout your system
all take il OUT on the poor nerves
if they happen to be a bit out of order
themselves.
Recent discoveries show that ninety
per cent OF W troubles are due
to other disorders. Eve strain is one
cause. Not only those who have to
use their eyes constantly. like students
and lapidaries and miniature artists
and eneravers, but city folks who live
and work whore their vision is re-
stricted. are all sufferers from nervous
more or less.
The eye wants to get exercise as
we'll as the muscles. Living in narrow
streets and gazing out across little
alleys against brick walls. rushing into
narrow cars and hurrying into small
rooms. all keep the vision down to
narrow limits. and pretty soon eye
strain sets in, n this brings on merry
u trouble.
And one of the peculiarities Of this
is that many people will not notice
that they have eye strain because the.
nervous disorder that results will be
so much worse thai the cause. Eve
strain is much less common in the
country.
Working in a stopped position. curry.
ing the spine. brings pressure on the
tiny blood vessels. and this in turn
acts on the nerves. II get so neryous
sitting STILL" one will say. As a mat
ter Of fact the continual pressure on
the spine reacts on the nerves. AS
.sedentary occupations are more COM
mon in the cities there is more merry
BUSINESS from this aus in cities.
Liver troubles brine on quick nery-
Gus disorders. city noises in time af-
feet the ears and the nerves are again
in for a siege of trouble. Not even
at night or during sleep is there COM
plete quiet in the city. Women be-
come irritable because of excessive
blood pressure. and again it is their
nerves that suffer-also every one
else about them is apt to suffer.

THE AMERICAN ROAD CONGRESS

What has been recognized general
ly as the one weakness of the move
ment for better roads in the United
States-a weakness caused by organ-
izations committed to the same cause
but working separately and some
times at cross purposes-has been re-
moved by the announcement that
most of the big VI improvement
associations are to hold their CON
ventions Jointly in Atlantic City. Sep
ten1ber 80 to October 3. Real reforms
must be supported by organizations
of citizens, who consolidate public
opinion until it becomes an irresistible
force to which legislative bodies must
yield.
The sentiment for better roads in
the United States covers every Sec
ton of the country. When it Is said
that there are no less thar 10000 Of
hcials actually engaged in the super
vision of new roads or the mainten-
anee Of old ones. the present size of
the industry ear be gauged. Roads
directly affect the welfare of the ma
ton. There are great economic prob
lens involved in the subject. But
unless sentiment is organized little
progress can be made.
It speaks we'll for the sincerity Of
the road improvements associations
that they are willing to cast motives
Of personal glory aside and give an
all-star performance in Atlantic City.
The American Association for High
way Improvement is a national body.
with many state. county. and local
orranizatjon affiliated with II. What
the American association is to the
movement generally. especially with
regard 10 farmers. business men. rail-
road men. and public officials. the
American Automobile association.
with it's affliated organizations in all
the states. is to the movement with
particular regard to Automobiles.
Tho National Association OF Machin-
cry and Materials Manufacturers,
which Joins the other two associations
in the American road congress-. as the
gathering Is to be known. will display
all the various types Of road machin-
cry and materials. while the United
States government will make a COM
plete exhibit Of It's road machinery
models and types Of roads.
The fact that President Taft has
consented to act as honorary presi-
dent Of the American road congress-,
and that Director Logan Waller Page,
Of the ONCE of public roads. is the
active president. shows the ofhcial
character Of the gathering. and is at
advance indication Of the success Of
a movement designed for the welfare
Of all the people Of the United States.

COMPLIMENTS FOR THE Bride.

1 must relate a striking salutation
that the bridal couple received from
a Quaker client of mine, shrewd
dry goods merchant. Presented by
an usher he surveyed the bride,
whom he had never seen before, and
then with the utmost deliberaticn
proceeded to say:
"William, l think the bride has
shown more judgment in her choices
than thee has"
Fortunately before I could turn to
resent this strange salutation he con-
tinued as follows:
Because it takes some penetra-
ton to discover thy good qualities
but hers can be seen at glance. p

liancy as they flashed on the gilt
tering marble and bronze.
The first floor and portion of
the basement was occupied by the
Mercantile Safe Deposit COM
pany, which was controlled by the
Equitable. The famous Cafe
Savarin, scene of many a gay
party, occupied the remainder of
the basement.
The main office of the Equit-
able on the second floor consisted
of a lofty hall, in which stood two
rows of colored pillars, the work
ing offices and the cashiers de-
partment.
In the rear was a magnificent
stained glass window to which a
marble-1ined and narble-hoored
corridor led. Another passage
led to huge vault where at least
$20O,0O0,0O0 in securities were
kept.
On the same floor were the Of
fees of August Belmont & Com
pany, the Mercantile Trust Com
pany, and the Equitable Trust
Company.
The public quarters of the
Equitable Society contained an
insurance library of more than
$500 volumes. In this library
was the entire history of life in

the Broadway side.

Lawyers were the chief ten
ants of the remainder of the
structure, although the Southern
and Union Pacific Railroad COM
panies, w here Hartman once
held sway, and the banking firm
of Kountze Brothers also had
their general Offices there. The
Western Maryland Railroad,
once a Gould concern, also had
executive offices in the building.
The lawyers club took up the
entire fifth and sixth floors. The
law library was on the seventh
floor. 1t was library that never
can beSduplicated, and was almost
of priceless value.
The upper floors of the build
ing were most magnificent. A
corridor lined with black-stained
marble, led into a smoking room
that dazzled the eyes with the lus-
tire of its squared columns. The
suite included a main dining room
and dozen more which were
used for private parties. All of
them were decorated in white and
pink or hung with splendid broc-
AIDES that produced bewildering
effect.
From the main entrance to the
top of the entire building, nothing
was left undone that might add
to the gorgeousness of the dec
orations.

WORK IN THE BOATYARDS.
Repairing Damaged Lighter Belong
ing to the District.

To receive repairs to hull and ma
chinery the tug Rosalie of the Smoot
Sand Company fleet is out on the marine
railway at the Alexandria Shipyard. The
work on the tug will require several days
to complete. One of the large sand and
gravel carrying lighters belonging to the
same concern is also out on the marine
railway at Alexandria for calking and
such repairs as may be necessary to put
it in good order for service.
The lighter belonging to the District,
which sank near Hal,owing point during
a northwest gale on the river about two
weeks ago, is DAT on the marine railway
at Deans boatyard at Alexandria for
repairs. When the lighter msank it had
aboard over hundred tons of coal con-
signed to the District workhouse at
Occoauan, Va. and this heavy load is
said to have strained the boat, making
extensive repairs necessary. 1t will be
ready for service again in about week
or ten days
