Woman Finally Receivers
From Nervous Breakdown

Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be-
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge of a
complete nervous breakdown. 1t
IS of the utmost importance TO keep
your nervous system in good con-.
dition, as the nerves are the source
of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna
kounz, 2II Mechanic St, Pueblo,

For many years 1 suffered from
nervous prostration; 1 was unable

tried from druggists did not do

The Oyster Seizure.

1t is gratifying to know from the seiz'
ure Of 1900 bushels of oysters brought UP
from the lower Potomac that the FED
eral authorities are keenly observant OF
conditions affecting the food supply OF
the capital. A great deal OF Typhoid
fever has in the past been carried by
oysters, and it is really surprising, con-
sidering the conditions under which oys-
ters are grown in some places. that
washington has not suffered more heav-
ily from this cause. 1t is indeed Of vital
Importance that the closest watch be
kept upon the oyster supply. and the
most perfect knowledge be had OF the
circumstances surrounding the growth
and development and gathering of the
bivalvesA 1t is better to make a mistake
In the condemnation Of suspected food
supplies than to allow them to reach the
public. This action by the Department
Of Agriculture will probably have an ex-
cellent effect in causing . keen scrutiny
Of conditions at the oyster beds from
which the greater part OF the local sup
ply il obtained.

Conditions at the Poles.

With the attainment of both the poles
Throughout the years that men have been
striving to reach the axes Of the world
many ingenious theories have been ad-
vanced regarding the nature of the two
regions. Novelists have put forth descrip-
lions Of strange lands peopled by equally
strange inhabitants. For some peculiar
reason the thought has persisted in some
minds that at the poles would be found
conditions quite different from those pre-
vailing for many miles around. There has
been. of course. at no time the slightest
reason for such a concept. and yet it con-
tinued in the face of all logic and human
knowledge regarding the subpolar en-
vironment. The theory of an open sea
at the north pole was actually advanced
as the basis Of proposed expedition
only a few years ago. the idea being to
carry a vessel over the ice in sections. to
be reassembled on the shores of the polar
ocean and fioated to the point of no
longitude. This was really from a sci
entific point of view no less fantastic
than the ancient idea of Il maelstrom
carrying the waters and Ice during the
arctic summer to the focal point of polar
exactness. 1t had its counterpart in the
belief Of some. founded upon no known
conditions. that at the two poles would be
found lands uncovered by ice or snow-in
other words. that the two regions would
be markedly different in temperature
from the desolate wastes lying between
them and the temperate zones.
Peary found at the north pole no sign
OF land. merely great expanse of ice,
doubtless the covering OF the Arctic sea.

Congress and the Tariff.

The Detroit Free Press sees the end of
all our tariff troubles. This. it say will
be the last year of tariff disputes. '"The
country" it says. has definitely aban-
doned the crude method of RELOCATING It's
industrial welfare to the mercies of rep
resentatives and senators who know
nothing about the business of manufac-
turing except the manufa curing of
phrases on other peoples business
Witty, but mistaken and unwise. The
country has abandoned nothing Respon-
sibilities to the tariff stand as they
have always stood, and must, under the
Constitution. continue to stand. They
cannot be abandoned, or even lessened or
shifted. Congress alone can exercise the
taxing power.
The remedy for the ills of badly con-
structed tariff Legislation is the presence
of more men in Congress familiar with
the whole tariff subject. They have been
too few in the past, and their number
could be increased with advantage at
present. More carefully prepared arith-
metical figures. and fewer figures of
speech. would work wonders when tariff
revision is up. Less picturesque denun-
citation of robber barons. and more speci-
the barons, should govern.
The character of Congress is always a
fair index to the temper of the people at
the time the Congress is chosen. If the
people are in a state of unrest and excite
ment. made so by agitators using catch
phrases as frritants. many agitators are
likely to be put into commission. Like
voters. like legislators. The time is not
propitious for men of conservative views
and thorough knowledge to make their
way to the front.
On the other hand. if the people are in
thoughtful mood. made so by taking sober
account of their condition and opportuni-
ties. thoughtful men are put into COM
mission. The necessity for such men in
Office is recognized. and. when chosen.
such men are at pains to justify their
selection.
For a long time, as all know, the coun-
try has been rocking with an agitation
skillfully created and kept up. First our
lean years engaged attention. Then our
fat years came on. And. strangely
enough, more agitation has marked the
latter than did the former. More hubbub
has attended our prosperity than attended
our efforts to attain prosperity when We
were in the nine hole and almost in de-
spair.
The tariff question has always been diff
ficult and always will be. 1t has always
been in politics. and always will be. We
need all the expert information about 1t
that can be gathered. The tariff commits
sion should be continued and strength
ened and it's labors duly considered and
utilized. But let us put more experts
into congressional commission, and thus
insure a better use of the statistics gath
cred by tariff boards and other statistical
agencies. For Congress, after ALL is su-
preme in the tariff business.

Tracing Tree Diseases.

While physicians and bacteriologists
are at work trying to find the causes Of
and cure the diseases which aff1ict hui
mainly, scientists of another line of en-
deavor are engaged in a work of conser-
walton which is of vital Importance to
society. At the Department Of Agricul-
ture an investigation is In progress into
the diseases affecting the southern pine,
the hickory and the chestnut. For some
years trees OF these varieties have been
dying at a most costly rate. The enemies
of the southern pine and the hickory
are identified and some progress has been
made in their attack. The chestnut dis
ease, however, has thus far eluded the
investigators. Great forests of these trees
have been blighted and the organism.
whatever its nature, has not yet been
Isolated. There are several theories to
account for the blight, one being that
1t is carried by birds: another that 1t is
borne by the dust. Whatever it's nature,
it has cost the tree owners of the eastern
states an immense sum of. money al
ready, and ii it is not soon checked 1t
will practically exterminate the chestnut.
In such researches and endeavors the
Department of Agriculture amply justifies
the annual expenditures incurred in its
upkeep. 1t has already contributed many
times it's cost to the wealth OF the counk
try, and fortunately there is no dispo-
sition on the part of Congress to apply
the pruning knife to the bills for its
maintenance. In these particular tree
studies the department has an opportu-
nifty to save the country great values.
For an example, the loss in southern pine
during the past three years has been at
the rate of a million dollars a year. No
estimate has been made Of the losses In
chestnut timber. for this disease is Of
comparatively recent spread.
