Woman Finally Receivers
From Nervous Breakdown

Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be-
fore sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge of
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,
Colo, says:
"For many years / suffered from
nervous prostration; was unable
to do any house work and doctors
failed to help me. Remedies |
tried from druggists did not do
me particle of good. A neighbor
told my husband about
DR.. Miles Nervine
and he procured bottle. After the
first few doses | showed a marked
improvement and after taking two
bottles | was entirely cured | have
been perfectly we'll for years and
cannot praise DR. Miles Nervine
too highly"
If you are troubled with loss of
appetite. poor digestion, weakness,
inability to sleep; if you are in a
general run down condition and
unable TO bear your part of the
daily grind OF life, you need some
thing to strengthen your nerves.
You may not realize what is the mat
ter with you, but that is no reason
why you should delay treatment.

WASHINGTON, ALEXANDER Il COOKE.
The Washington herald., 1913-12-29

to make complete surveys Of their fnan-
cial operations and to establish a perma-
nent basis for their future development
and cities, like individuals and corpora
tions, are calling to their assistance ex-
pert counsel and advice. 1t always must
be borne in mind that Washington is un-
like any other city in the United States.
1t is not a city unto itself; it is not a
capital Of a certain limited territory, the
District Of Columbia, for instance. It is
the Federal city, its problems and up
building concern all the people Of the na-
ton. In many respects IL should be a
model in administration to all other
cities, bu., in respect to its embellish-
ment, the proportions and dignity of its
public structures, and its finish as a
capital city, it cannot be initiated. 1t will
have a distinction of its own in that re-
spect.
CIaimed by All People.
Hundreds of visitors to Washington,
and thousands of others who have never
visited the city. have expressed it as their
desire that Washington hold just that
distinction. They claim II as their city,
and are willing and anxious to share in
the cost Of its all-around development and
maintenance. They insist that the plan
be comprehensive and for the whole city.
'Tn the event of the creation of such q
commission, in fairness to all concerned.
the present assault OIL the half-and-half
plan should cease, pending the report and
of the commission, for
at present the half-and-half policy is, by
legislative action, the accepted policy OF
division between the appropriations ma
tional in character and those purely local
1t may be that, unless Mr.. Cooper's bill
is passed promptly and the new commits
sion organized for work at once, 1t will be
necessary to extend the time for its final
report. The subject is a large one and
will require exhaustive research and
ample time for conclusions, based not
only on ordinary statistics, but on the
of difference between the average
city and the city which is for this nation
the city OF cities.
'Of course, it is assumed that the COM
will be an absolutely fair and i'm
partial one. Everything depends on that.
So created and SO acting Washington
need have no fear of its conclusions"

SELLS GOLD IN HER TEETH,
Wife Makes Sacrifice When Husband
Loses Job.

Pontiac, Mich, Dec. 2s.-A Pontiac den-
tist tells this Christmas story. A woman.
whose name was not given out, in the
days of the prosperity attendant on "a
steady job" held by the head of the
house, came to him and had a good deal
Of work done on her teeth. A number
Of gold filings were made and the bill
paid.
The husband lost his place. A little
credit was obtained for the necessities
Of life, but horror of debt was strong in
the household. There were little mouths
to be filled, though, and the harrassed
mother cast about for some help. too
proud to ask for charity.
1t was then that she reappeared in the
dentists office and asked him to extract
the gold from her teeth and buy II. that
she might be able to buy food and fuel
for the weeks before the better times
promised the first of the year"
The case has been brought before some
persons who will do what they can for
the family.

SEEDS PUT IN BANK VAULT.
They Represent Twenty-Five Years
Work by Luther Burbank.

San Francisco, Dec. 2S.-Seeds which are
scarcer than any jewel and which, IL de-
stroyed or lost, could not be replaced, re-
Gently have been placed in the safety
deposit vaults Of the Union Trust Com
pany and the Seaboard National Bank by
Luther Burbank.
They represent more than a quarter of
a century of work by the plant wizard -
and are awaiting the coming spring when
they will be planted.
One is a new kind Of fax, from the oil
OF which artists paint is made, and the
other is a cereal. known as quino, to take
the place of wheat. oats and barley.
There is not a peck Of these seeds in the
world. They are not for sale, but have
been developed to supply two needs of the
commercial world.
Burbank says that the oil from this
seed is what manufacturers of painters
materials have endeavored for years to
produce; that is, absolutely neutral. The
seed is of large size and a big oil pro-
ducer. The plant grows well in Cali

SENATOR MARITIME URGES
FEDERAL INVESTIGATION
OF THE MoYER CHARGES

Senator MARITIME, of New Jersey, has
written letter to Attorney General Nc
Reynolds recommending that an official
of the Department of Justice make an
inquiry into theAcharges that President
Meyer. Of the Western Federation of
Miners was deported from the Calumet
copper country of Michigan by order of
the local State authorities.
Mr.. MARITIME said that he realized that
the State exercised sole police powers
within their borders, but that the cir
cumstances in the Meyer case presented
a question that should at least be made

The Washington herald., 1913-12-29

New Jersey Senator is inclined to the
opinion that perhaps the Michigan OFF,
cial1 exceeded their authority in ordering
or permitting the election of Meyer from
the State.
l. is altogether probable that, If At
torney General McReynolds fails to COM
ply with the request made by Mr.. Mar
tine, the Senator will introduce a resolu-
ton of inquiry, upon the reassembling of
Congress. 1t is understood that Senator
Kern. OF Indiana, Democratic leader in
the Senate. also contemplates presenting
a resolution authorizing an investigation
into the labor troubles in the Calumet

That this terrible catastrophe has be-

monstrated by the fact that the miners
whose homes were desolated by the &C

raised by the citizens of the copper coun-
try for their relief.
Nor would they in a single instance
accept money in any sum or any as
sistance whatever from the townspeo-
pie. This attitude on the part of the
bereaved miners is said to be the one
that aroused the greatest feeling
toward Meyer in the region. because he
is reported to have said that the cry
of fire which caused the panic was

FUNERAL C0RTEGE
WENDS WAY THROUGH
CALUMET STREETS

Calumet, Mich, Dec. S.-Bowed with
grief, STEPPED in sorrow, Calumet today
buried her dead, the victims OF the
Christmas Eve panic. The day wore a
cloak appropriate to the occasion. There
was no sunshine and bleak snow clouds
filled the skies, winch were lowering and
dark. while a gentle. fine, snow fell part
OF the afternoon. Gathered at Calumet
were thousands of persons from all parts
of the copper and iron districts, come TO
honor the fifty-eight dead little children
and sixteen adults, ifty-nine OF whom
were buried today.
Beginning early this morning the bodies
of the dead were removed from the
homes to the six churches where the
services were held. Stationed at the
door of each grief-stricken home stood
a picket of the Western Federation or
Miners to see that the destitute, starving
family accepted none of the aid proffered
by the citiZenry OF Calumet. In all of
the churches special arrangements to
handle the large numbers Of mourners
were made and few of those besides the
mourners were admitted. At some of
the smaller Finnish churches not all of
the mourners, relatives OF the deceased,
could be accommodated, but were forced
to stand during the long hour OF the
service in the snow, grouped about the
churches.

The caskets of adults were carried
in hearses and death wagons and those of
the children on the shoulders of four
striking miners each.
Among the thousands of persons who
marched were hundreds OF the mourners.
The coffins Of the f1fty-nine victims, four
having been buried yesterday, and nine
to be buried tomorrow, OF the total of
seventy-two were lowered into the

criticism of this attitude on the part
Of the national legislature, but points
out that such financial assistance
might lead to dependence upon this
source of revenue and result in COM
plications of a. more or less serious
character If later this assistance were

TURKEY FINALLY SHOWS HER
HAND IN PEACE CONFERENCE
AT LONDON.

Final Settlement.

London.-After a fortnight of spar

shown her hand in the peace confer
ence. Mediation by the great pow.
ers Is the Ottoman scheme for emery.
ing from the war.
The Turkish delegates proposed this
solution in guarded terms on Mon
day. The meeting was brief and more
strained than any that preceded it,
and the Turkish tactics were char
acteristic.
The delegation had received fresh
instructions from the porte, Rechad
Pasha announced, but part of the tele-
gram was undecipherable and must be
repeated to Constantinople for trans
lation. Then Rechad Pasha said he
was able to state that most of the
questions under discussion should be
referred to the powers. The boun-
dairy between Bulgaria and Turkey
was an exception; that was matter,
he said, for direct settlement between
the two governments.
The Turkish delegates attempted
to discuss the questions at issue in.
formally, but the allies insisted that
they should put their propositions In
writing, which the Turks said they
were not prepared to do.
