WHAT NEURASTHENIA IS

Neurasthenia Is condition OF exhaus-
tion OF the nervous system. The causes
are varied. Continuous work, mental or
physical, withoutproper vacation periods,
without proper attention to diet and ex-
ercise. also worry over the struggle for
success, are the post common causes.
Excasses OF almost any kind may pro-
duce it. Some diseases, like the grip,
will cause neurasthenia. So also VIII o
severe shock, intense anxiety or grief.
The symptoms are oyer-sensltiyeness,
irritability, disposition to worry over
trifies. headache, possibly nausea.
The treatment is one OF nutrition otthe
nerve cells, requiring non-alcohoiic
tonic. AS the nerves get their nourish--
ment from the blood the treatment must
be directed toward building up the blood.
DR.. williams Pink Pills act directly on
the blood and with proper regulation OF
the diet have proved OF the greatest bene-
fit in many cases Of neurasthenis. a
tendency to anamia, or bloodlessness,
shown by most neurasthenic patients, IS
also corrected by these tonic pills. Your

GREATER ARSENIC OUTPUT.
As Result of the War Which Keeps Euro
pean Product at Home.

The consumption of white arsenic in
the United States in 1913 amounted to
about 1900 tons, valued at $4,000, OF
which 2,5l3 tons, valued at $l59,236, was
produced in this country as a by.product
from copper and precious metal shelters
and the remainder was imported largely
from European countries. For the pres
ent imports of arsenic will undoubtedly
be seriously diminished by the Euro
pean war. The American smelters can
save much more arsenic than they do
now, for the cheapness Of the product
has prevented the saving of all that
was practicable, and the war would seem
to open the way for an increase in the
American output.
Works for the exclusive production OF
arsenic have been erected at only two
places in the United States Brinton,
Va, and Mineral, Wash. 1t is difficult
for such plants to produce arsenic to be
sold in competition with the by-product
of the smelters, except in periods of high
prices such as may again prevail If the
war and its industrial disturbances are
long continued.

WOMEN PARADE IN
BIG WAR PROTEST
Fifth-Ayenue Throngs Watch Black-Clad
Line March to Muffled
Drum Beat.

New York, Aug 3l.--Woman made
her protest against the war in Europe
by marching through fashionable Fifth
avenue Saturday to the beat of mutiied
drums. The marehers were clad in black,
or, if dressed in white, wore mourning
bands on their sleeves.
Silently they trod this canyon OF ho-
tie, club, residence and office structures,
while thousands of persons stood as qui-
city on the sidewalks, viewing the slow
ly-moving procession as they might look
upon passing funeral cortege. Oeca-
sionally sunlight streamed from over
cast skies and touched upon the clusters
of yellow flowers which some of the
marchers carried.
Nearly $500 women took part in this
unique demonstration, which had the APP
prevail of President Wilson. Boy scouts
with drums led each division.
A lone banner fiuttered in the breeze
the world ensign of liberty and peace
which foated at the foremost of the gov
eminent steamer Ancon when it passed
through the Panama canal fortnight
ago. Behind this flag walked women
who have become known in religion, lit
erature, the woman suffrage movement,
society. and many professions; few
WIG were refugees abroad when the con-
flict began, and many Socialists,
social workers, delegates from women's
organizations and Others.
They represented many cities. In di-
vision of automobiles rode mothers with
their babies.
The peace parade started at Fifty
Ninth street and disbanded after being
reviewed at Union square by Mrs. Henry
Willard, the active leader in the protest
movement.

WAR RAISES PRICE OF TIN.
In New York 1t Has Risen from sos to
o5 Cents.

The outbreak of the European war
has caused the New York price OF tin
to rise to Go cents a pound, although in
the latter part of July tin was sold as
low as 30.5 cents pound. None OF
the European countries make a produce
ton which would greatly affect market
values. and the disturbance OF price IS
due mostly to the insecurity OF ocean
freights which are carried very largely
in English or German bottoms.
The known American tin deposits are
small and production from them VIII
probably not be much affected by the
exceedingly high prices If these are tenn
porary. However. the operators now
working tin deposits may reap prohe
II they can market their ores before the
drop in prices that is sure to come.
The benefit which it seems possible
TO get out of the present situation IS
in the establishment of tin smelter
in the United States in which to smelt
Bolivian tin ores and such small lots
of American ore as are produced. AT
presept between 10000 and 10000 tons
Of tin concentrates carrying more than
10000 tons of metallic tin are shipped
each wear from Bolivia to Europe for
smelling. The United States would abb
sorb the tin smelted from this ore easily,
and IT has been demonstrated that there
are no difficulties in the smelling OF the
Bolivian ores that American metallur-
pists cannot meet. Owing 20 the lack
OF European freighters, Bolivian ores
will row be seeking a market, and, pro-
vidine that ships can be found TO carry
the ore, this viii be the opportunity for
Americans to begin purchasing the ores
that have heretofore gone 70 Europe.
A few years ago smelter was estab-
lished at Bayonne, n. j., in which to
smelt Malayan tin ores, but when Il be-
came known the English government
placed a high export duty on Malayan
tin ores not going 10 some part OF the
British empire. such thing could not
happen in Bolivia. and to some extent,
AZ any rate. the smelling of Bolivian
and ores in this country would relieve
American consumers from the speculs-
tive profits of the London market.

calling on all grocers in Mexico City to
submit to the federal authorities an in

Valuable Education
In Govt. Report.

Washington, Jan. 9.-"Vast stores of
educational material of special value
to teachers lie hidden in government
publications, says the federal bureau
of education in a statement today.
Attention is called to the fact that
tons and tons of reports, bulletins and
miscellaneous documents are daily
turned out by the government print
ing office containing valuable educa-
tional material, although not general
ly known by the public.
Delving into these publications., ex-
perts of the bureau of education have
discovered a wealth of teaching ma
terial hidden away because the titles
of many of these documents give no
indication of their value for education
al purposes. A bulletin has been pre-
pared by the bureau as a guide to a
small portion of this material which
has special significance for teachers or
others interested in education.
"One of the greatest needs of our
elementary schools is suitable materi-
al to supplement the meagre, outlines
and brief statements of the text
books" Commissioner Claxton declar-
ed. IF the bureau had the funds 1t
could do a notable service by acquit
ing much of the material, either free
of charge or at price sufficient to
cover the printing"

Famous Pennies
Are Dug Up by La
bOrerS in Mass.

New Bedford, Mass, JAM 9.--Some
granite workers preparing for a blast
at point near the road between this
city and Fall River dug up bag of
coins, some of them dated before the
Revolution and none of them dated
later than 1898. All were of copper and
it took considerable cleaning before
they could be deciphered.
OF the II coins there were two of
the famous old Liberty pennies, dat
ed 1877 and 1898 respectively, and there
is one King George penny dated 1774.
AS interesting and peculiar as any OF
them, however, are the old Fugio PEN
MES, as they are known to collec-
tors These pennies have on one side
a design of the sun and below it a
sun dial. Under this design is the date
1887, and the legend Mind your own
business" while the Latin inscription
"Fugio" printed on the edge gives the
coin its name. On the reverse side are
Is links joined together in a circular
chain, emblematic of the IS states
which originally formed the Union.
These Fugio coins were manufactured
in Connecticut by d citizen there, I'M
der a special act of Congress in 1856
and 1857, and there was but limited
number to the issue. They are quite
uncommon now and are eagerly sought
by collectors.

Puzzle for Commissioners.

The State Commission of Inland
Fisheries and Game Friday received
by express the skin of a fur bearing
animal with a letter accompanying
from S. E. Cox, town treasurer OF
Robbinston, asking the commissioners
to determine if the animal was entitled
to the bounty, which is paid for bob
cats Chairman of the Commission
J. S. P. II. Wilson and Thomas A.
James, curator of the museum, made
a careful examination Of the skin,
comparing it with the skins of other
small fur bearing animals in the nlu-
scum, and gave the opinion that the
animal was not bobcat, although in
many ways the resemblance is close.
That the skin was from species of cat
there could be no doubt, and the opin-
ion was that the cat was cross be-
tween a bobcat and a house cat or else
a coon cat with odd markings. The
tail of the skin sent in was long, and
bobcats have very short tails and the
stripes on the back Of the specimen
are entirely lacking on bobcats.

"vALE, CiCERO."
Letters Written in Medieval Times
Were Free From Elaborate Polite
ness of Those We Write.

Modern letter writing involves more
superfluous forms than the ancients
used. There was an admirable direct
ness and brevity in the Roman meth
cd of correspondence, as we can see
from the letters of Cicero.
He began most of his communiea-
tions in this manner: ITO Sextilius
Rufus Quaester," or ITO Acilius, Pro-
consul; and when he had finished his
letter, he usually stopped with the
simple Vale" Sometimes when he
was writing to his daughter, to his
brother, or to his favorite secretary,
Trio. he would say at the end, Again
bid you farewell" or Farewell, and
continue to love me- But nine let
tiers in ten he began with the name
of the person addressed, and ended
with the single word Farewell"
Sometimes a Roman citizen who had
received a great favor from supe-
rior would put an expression OF thanks
at the end of his letter, as when Mar
Gus Marcellus says to Cicero: L shall
try to convince you that you have con-
ferred your good offices upon one who
is most sincerely and warmly your
friend. Farewell" But this is an un-
usually long formula for Roman.
During medieval times a more elab-
crate form Of letter writing fiourished,
and it eventually grew into most ex-
trayagant mode of epistolary homage,
that prevailed until the beginning of
tho 10Th century.
Our forefathers were as ceremonious
and elaborate in their letters as they
