Got Nerve? Chop Trees, Is The
 / Advice Of Playwright Molineux

history:
 They bring out their sick to the
 narket-pIace, for they have no phy- sfcians; then those who pass by the sick person confer with him about the disease to discover whether they have themselves been afflicted with the same disease the sick person, or have seen others so afflicted thus the passers-by c~rfer with him, and advise hinc to have recourse to the same treatment as that by which they escaped a similar disease, or as they have known cure others"
 The Long Island Babylon ha sn't fol- lowel this custom, but MT. Moineux, in common with many other New
 Workers who have gone "back to the farm" to restore shattered health, was quite willing to give advice on the subject of the cure of merely nerves"
 The reporter wno wrote of a rest cure'' was very evidently ignorant of
 the precepts and practices of the lBaby1onian tfhea1th farm,'' for chop ping down large trees is one of the principal diversions of the boys and tree-felling is assuredly not to be de scribed as a @trest cure" Incidentally the ''boss of the works" doesn't call himself professor" nor his place i''sanitariun," nor his patrons pat. ients'' nor eases At first some of the nervous wrecks'' allege that they have conscientious scruples against the deforeStatiOn, and indulge in dark hints about the fact that MacLevy uses wood for fuel, but soon they succumb to the spirit of competition, and soon are ing-actEally boast ing-of the number of trees they have cut down. It is alleged that in one afternoon MT. Mo1ineux made a record of three large trees in one afternoon. The tree-felling activities a Babylon are reminiscent of the fence white
 washing job engineered by Tom Saw yer, but, unlike Mark Twains hero, the ''boss" plays his own game and chops trees with the rest of the boys
 Early to bed and early to rise'' is
 an o1d-fashioned recipe for acquiring health, wealth and wisdom, but it is | followed strictly by the New Workers
 who are seeking relief from ailm incident to business stress or. to a too close attention to the business of pleasure. They are not asked to con
 sume dessicated sawdust for break
 fast, but are given plain, nutritious food, with plenty of fruit At 10:30 in
 the morning, after breakfast has sup activities of the day begin with such
 strenuous exercises as bag punching,
 boxing, and tossing the medicine ball The "Boss'' takes his own medicine, and keeps his boys on the go until they are perspiring from every pore.
 Each man gets a big cup of hot water | to hold the precipitation, and then
 comes the cold shower. This is fol-
 lowed by the application of a thirty
 pound pressure hose to the spine, be-
 ginning at the base of the brain and

 Brussels, Dec 3.-Conmereial sta tistics are to be tabulated hereafter by all European governments under. .1S6 headings, divided into five categories, namely, living animals foods and drinks, raw or simply prepared mate ria1s, manufactured articles and pre- c;outs metals in ingoss or coined.
 The conventiona establishing this common classification has been signed by the delegates to the International Conference for Commercial. Statistics, which finished it's work here this week.
 In order to avoid the ineonvenience of the Hnita tions' of .thtsse five eatego- ries, it was agreed, under an addi- tionaI heading at the end of each group, ''other products'' could be add ed of a general nature with those in the group and yet not under one of the standard numbered headings.

NEW HAVEN RISES POINT IN OPENING
 OF STOCK MARKET

New York. Dec. 13-Opening-A showing of frmness was made at the opening of the market today which presented a decided contrast with yes terday's weak closing With the ex- ception of American Telephone, which which have been conspicuously weak recently were bid up.
 New Haven was in especial good de- mand, rising 8 point to .67. Traders were unwilling to follow the market on the upturn, however, and a, reac- tionary tendency soon became evil dent. Most of the leading stocks had an hours trading. American Tele- phone at 115, Pennsylvania at 106 and New York Central at 91 made new low marks.
 New Haven dropped to t65 3-4s
 CIose-the market closed firm. Bear traders took charge of the mar ket today after an early improve ment had given stocks an appearance of .firmness. The ease with which prices were depressed was discour- aging to traders who expected that the current level would attract enough buying to sustain the. market against bear selling. Spread of url- satisfactory conditions in mercantile lines threatened the confidence with which professional traders attacked the market.
 Indications that stocks were being put out on all rallies reduced buy ing largely to short covering After new low average of prices had been reached the list grew stronger in re- sponse to weekend covering. Losses were made up and eventually many stocks were advanced fractionally above yesterdays close. Bonds were heavy.

 There is a provision that permits of General Wood remaining in case of war or other emergency,
 While Secretary Garrison gives DO inkIing to the successor of Gene-al Wood many persons are guessing GeneralThomas H. Barry. They pred fcate their guess upon the known ability of General Barry. and the facr that he is well liked by Secretary Gar rison. General Barry for two yea-s was in charge of West Point He .5 now commander of the Department of the East with headquarters at GOv- ernor's Island.
 Major-GeneraI Wood, who became Chief of Staff under President ROoFe- velt entered the army as an aHsIs- tant surgeon in 1886, two years after his graduation from Harvard. rHo obtained leave to organize the Roug1 Riders in 1898 and was then made brigadfer of volunteers in Cuba.
 He served in Cuba as governor general and also in the PhilIipinea- President Roosevelt, his close per sonaI friend, jumped him over 211 of- ficers, some of them Civil War yet erans, to make him a maJor-EeueraI-
 During the Taft administration a bill was passed which would have legislated General Wood out Of office. It was vetoed by the President.

After eight cen years of experience in the salvage of human WrecIcs, the distinguished health builder hasn't found anytfiug to take the place of big, juicy beef steaks-which should be good news to the beef trust. Give 'em nutritious welI-cooked food that sticks to the ribs. and make 'en earn it by the sweat Of the brow,'' is the MacLevy recipe
 A few hours of rest follow the mid day neal-above all. nervous people shouldn't ezcerc1se or work arter es(f- ing, declares MacLevy-and then comes the afternoon wood-chopping eXped- ition. The ''boys'' chop and saw and carry logs until the precipitation ia flowing freely again. The cold shower follows. In the evening, after dinner. the 'boys'' have an hour or two for billiards, music and other amusementa but at nine o'clock all are in bed

 Such is the testimony of Roland B. Molineux, playwright, author, chemist, and celebrated as the defendant in one of the most noted murder trials of the century, as well as the author of a crime" drama which has been one of the hits of the phesent thcat- rica1 season in New York
 Not many men have ever lived through such an experience as fell to the lot of the playwright. For weeks that seemed month, and months that seemed years, and years that stretched out into eternities. MT. Molineux was confined in the death house at Sing Sing Prison. While he awaited the ignominious tragedy that appeared in evitab1e, his comrades in the chamber of death passed, one by one, through the little green door that is the thres- hold of the grave. MT. Molineux was given new trial and acquitted, his innocence having been. demonstrate ed beyond a doubt, and he went forth from the dark and dreary cell into the sunlight of life. After many months of horror, he escaped that final horror which comes to those who enter the little room where the electric chair waits.
 MT MoIineux left prison shattered in health, but he recovered suffic- ientIy to write several books, inc1udin g a remarkable tale of his experiences in the death cell, and a highly success full play.
