I'M OUT.
I've had my smoke, dreamy one,
and long;
I've told tale and sung a good old
song;
I've played my hand in bowers and
aces strong;
Why then this sigh, check and thus
prolong?
I'm out
They sing new songs, tell tales of
land and sea;
Warm glows the wine, the laugh and
jest are free;
They cut the cards, but deal no hand
to me;
Idly sit, and time lays YEARLY
I'm out.
Comrades and friends my life have
ever blest;
A mothers hand hath gently me ca
ressed;
I've had my mate and comfortable
nest;
Why then. my heart, this sadness
and unrest?
I'm out.
All, this years nests are Graded in
the trees,
But last years nests are scattred on
the breeze;
Green this years grain is waving on
the leas: h
Empty and chill the old white gran
cries.
I'm out.

 tioner.
 This is the season of the year that We must look out for the much dreaded disease called Ia grippe TIe medical profession has decided that la grippe is a disease. and that it ia contagious The dreadful results q. leaves is indeed serious matter. Ia many cases the result Is fatal
 My observations of the disease at5 its results has led me to believe th Y the best preventive is conservation = nervous energy--vitality--a in order to do that one must know tha law. ci nature--how to get nervous erSr"y new to store f and how it is spa1. ar. l exhausted.
 There is no time human bodies are s0 susceptible to disease germs IS when the vitality is low and une Ia suffering from the poisons of fat.gu" If makes no difference whether thai fatigue is brought about by fn,rtal work. physical work. dissipation II neglect and disregard of the laws "f nature. the wornout. exhausted organ ism is the most fertile spot for the germs of disease to find a resting place.
 Abnormal Appetite Injurious.
 At this season of the year there are many ways of exhausting our nervous energy--that Is. there are many more yynys than in other seasons of the year. One of the greatest causes of exhaustlng nervous energy Is dispos- ing of unnecessary food and drink. If one would only partake of such food as Is required to sustain. that party would be much better off than 1T all stpsormal appetite was satisfied by taking about three times as much as is required. from all of which no benefit is dirived. and the person is put to the expense of vitality to get rid of the surplus.
 At this season of the year men are very apt to take a stimulant. which gives them an abnormal appetite. They get foolish idea that they must eat a lo, of food in order to resist cold Resisting a cold is an ex- haustion of vitality. and if they would aid that by putting on warmer cloth ing. instead of taking a surplus of food and drink. they would then avoid an unnecessary expenditure of vital ity. On the other hand. they dress tn suit the overheated buildings In which they are engaged. and instead of taking advantage of being out in the cool. refreshing. clean atmosphere. they huddle together In a warm place.
 4 few of the things that are an ex- pense to low nervous energy: Worst of all Is worriment and anxiety. one of the best illustrations of this l ever saw some years ago was the case of a prominent man who was being prose cuted for bribery in the county of New York. He was a city official and he happened to be q pupil of mine at the time the trouble developed
 He was a middle aged man. weigh Ing lS5 pounds. was in perfect physical and mental health and had always taken good care of himself He was

 Fatigue poisoning is brought abou; hy mental work. just as It is by pnysI. cal work. II means the products of dissimilation The medical profession calls Il auto intoxication." II people would only realize when they get that tired. worn-out feelins though they have done m physical work 10 pro ducc that feeling. yet they have had a day CT night that has caused that unusual mental concentration and work. and that body feels tired and demands rest Anything that disturbs or initiates the nervous organism means exhausting nerve energy
 There never Was time in this conn try when there has been so great a demand upon nerve energy In order to hold ones own in business or social lifc as there is at the present time. Many modern improvements. though they are. indeed. wonderful improve mcnts upon the old methods make a tremendous demand upon the nerve energy. because they disturb the ner- ous organism and require greater concentration of mental ,fort for their use
 Requires Thorough Concentration.
 For instance. the telephone To talk on the telephone. and receive the an swers while others ae talking about you. means a severe concentration of thought. The rapid moving elevators in our tall buildings give many people shock; while they trS 10 become in- different to it. yet they receive a shock just the same. The vibration of the motor vehicles are extremely i irritating to many people.
 The lack of home life deprives many business men of the opportunity for l ecchsion and meditation The desrs of many people to create an impres
 sion upon others that they are some thing more than they really are-in other words. constant acting and pretending, means alertness. and also concentration. which means exhaus- tion of nerve energy
 All of this leads up 10 a condition | which leaves us open to the germs Of disease. which are looking for q soft place to work. In fact. they arc with us always from birth 10 death.

During the time of the trial. the selecting of tho jury. the taking of evidence, the summing up of the ease. awaiting the verdict of the jury, and the sentence Iof the court q was with him great deaD. I tried to cheer him up and enable him to see that. in spite of all his troubles he should. above all things take good care of his health. for he would require that most after he had paid the pen alty of his mistake The effect upon his physical health was this:
 Loses Weight Rapidly.
 
 Although he had no opportunity to take exercise. and his appetite re- mained normal. this man lost. from | the time ofih sarrest to the time Of his sentence, which was about nine months. over twenty pounds in weight. and he had aged. to all ap- ! pearances. five years. For twenty four hours previous to the ending of 1 his trial IL was impossible for him to get any sleep. The prison doctors drugged him, but to no advantage. He was taken to Sing Sing. and upon ar irving there he said to me: Thank God. Muldoon. this thing is all over I am happy and contented now," 1 called several times during the first few months of his imprisonment. and l noticed decided improvement i In his health. and inside of six months he had regained hIs former weight. was full of vitality and looked for ward to the future with bright l prospects.
 The moral to this little history is that when this man had reached the point of his trouble that brought about the climax, hc found that nature adapted itself to circumstances and environment, and though it was the very worst he could have expected l from the beginning vet he was well l able to stand IL all.
 All of which goes to show that wor rying does not alter conditions and is a tremendous exhaustion of vitality, which results in poor health.
 Our bodies. when in perfect health, produce sufficint nervous energy to en- able the different organs to perform 1 their propc functions. If We are as careful with that nervous energy as a man should be. and only exhaust 1t in such directions as are absolutely nec- essary. we will enjoy good health and be able to resist disease. On the other hand, if We are reckless with our vi- tality We will soon become bankrupt of it, and then we are in the same position as We would be were We to become bankrupt with our finances.

MANY KILLED BY
GUNS OF ITALIANS
warships lombard City Of
Beirut, Syria.

Beirut, Syria, Feb. 25.-A fotilla Of
Italian warships bombarded this city,
killing many peaceful inhabitants and
wounding a large number of others.
At least sixty persons are known 10 be
dead. They also sank a number Of
small Turkish gunboats anchored in
the port.
Appearing suddenly off the port the
commanders of the Italian gunboat
Volturno and the armored cruiser Giu-
seppe Garibaldi sent to the authorities
a peremptory demand for the sur
render of the Turkish gunboats in the
harbor.
Before the provisional governor
could deliver his reply to the Italian
commanders or ask for time to nego-
tiate the cruisers opened a devastat-
ing fire.
In q short time the Turkish gun
boats in the harbor were in a sinking
condition. The custom house was dam
aged and other buildings also suffered.
Numbers of noncombatants, who
came within range of fire while pass
ing along the streets, were slaughtered.

Large Section Of Houston, Tex,
Swept by Flames.
ENTIRE CITY IS THREATENED
More Than q Thousand People Home.
less and Several Large Manufac-
turing Plants Destroyed.

Houston, Tex, Feb. 22.-Impeiled by
q fierce gale from the north fire ran
rampant through the eastern section
Of this city, destroying property valued
at several million dollars and render
ing homeless more than a thousand
persons.
Several large manufacturing plants
were burned down, scores Of homes
We're RACED by the flames and several
lumber yards, cotton warehouses and
congresses were wiped off the earth.
Not less than twenty-five city blocks
are in ashes.
The losses, conservatively, are esti.
mated at from $1,000, 900 to 10000
600. The greater part of this is con
fined to the lumber and cotton indus
tries. Forty-ive thousand bales of
cotton stored in warehouses and con
presses were burned.
Destruction of baled cotton and
manufacturing plants make up the
bulk of the losses on which estimates
are based. This reaches about ST.
600, 900. The cotton losses alone ex-
coed $4,000, 900. Loss on residences
and household effects may bring the
total to a much larger figure.
Thousands Of persons were driven
from their homes and in the cold of
the relentless norther they suffered
from exposure. Relief work at once
was set under way, however, and food
and clothing provided for the refugees.
Many persons were hurt during the
fight with the flames but so far as can
be sascertained there were no casual
ties.
The burned area is at least a mile
and a half long and at points a quar-
ter of a mile wide. 1t was swept clean.
