CURE FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE
Physicians Have Found Work to Be
as Effective as Rest, II Not
More So.

Some physicians are finding that
work is quite as effective cure for
nervous disorders as rest ever was-if
not more so. How one doctor is prov
ing this is told in the Survey. He is
Dr. Herbert J. Hall of Marblehead,
Mass.
Doctor Hall discovered that the pa
tient must feel 'the call of the job" if
a cure is to be effected So in 1895 he
established workshop in Marblehead
wherein patients, supervised and
taught by experts, are now making ar
ticles that are salable and are getting
wages for their products. Weaving,
cement work, dyeing and pottery have
been the most successful trades. Jew
elry and metal work have proved too
trying for unframed and unhappy pa
tients to carry through and sell profit
ably. But in the other occupations
about seven thousand dollars worth Of
merchandise has been made and sold
each year, although the workshop has
never contained more than thirty-eight
workers at time, many of whom
worked only few hours day
Commenting on this DR.. Richard G.
Cabot says: when Doctor Hall joined
his squad of Inconsistencies to the ranks
of the industrial army he added his
contribution not only to therapeutics.
but to sociology. He attacked the
problem of the sub-standard worker
handicapped in the race Of industry,
but not necessarily excluded from that
inspiring company. He attacked
problem which faces all who deal with
the consumptiye, the alcoholic, the
chronic insane and in fact all chronic
invalids, no matter what their disease.
Rich or poor, they all need work, for
without it they degenerate mentally
and morally"

DESERTS NO LONGER KNOWN
How Modern Man Has Successfully
Removed Natures Obstacles
to Progress.

Nature has set up four kinds of bar
rters to mans conquest of the earth
mountains, forests, deserts, rivers, an
exchange remarks. The first he can
not remove, SO he bores holes through
them for railways. The second he
has, most unwisely, largely cleared
away altogether. The third he is be-
ginning to treat like the forests. The
fourth he is shifting to suit his pur-
poses and to regulate their flow at
will.
Man flies now over all boundaries.
He cuts through isthmuses to remove
the barriers between the seas.
Into the deserts man sends rail-
roads, telegraph lines, irrigation en-
gineers. The Great American Des-
ert' marked upon the aliases of our
fathers has ceased to exist The vast
desert" of northwestern Canada has
become q boundless prairie of waving
wheat. The Landes of Gascony are
now much more than half covered
with pine trees. In 1902, $4,000 square
miles of the Algerian desert had been
made fruitful by artesian wells The
Australian desert" is rapidly being
irrigated and turned into grazing
land. Almost 10000 square miles OF
desert" in India has been reclaimed.
Sir William Willcocks is now engaged
in retaining $4,000 square miles of
the delta of the Tigris and Euphrates
and more than 1000 square miles of
the Gezireh plain between the Blue
and White Nile are being transformed
into cotton plantations
Thus is man, by obliterating natural
barriers, improving upon nature.

Carbon From Gas,

Engineers have long been trying to
discover an economical way of produc-
ing carbon from natural gas. Under
the methods now in use there is such
an enormous waste of gas that the
process is too expensive. Harry Bea-
com of Wilsonburg, Harrison County,
w. Va, has been studying this matter
scientifically and experimentally for
many years, and now he announces
he produces black without any ash
and far superior to that made under
the older processes, and whereby the
waste of gas is almost entirely elimi-
mated.

Population Of India.

The population of British India Is
given as 231. 085, 1872. The figures are
for some ten years ago, and it would
not be far out of the way to put the
present population at 235, 100000 One
of the Indian princes recently de-
clared that IL called upon India could
furnish an army OF between seven and
ten millions of men.

Recently war service was held at
Tyler's Green Church, in London, and
many strait-laced communicates
were shocked because the organist
played 'Tipperary" as a closing vol
untary. But hundreds of communicates
were moved to tears by the swinging
march tune which Tommy Atkins has
adopted in spite of squeamish persons
who would force more decorous airs
upon him.
The organist at Tyler's Green estab-
lished a precedent which is far-reach-

SELLING WAR MATERIAL
By Frederic J. Haskin.

American manufacturers are doing a
brisk business in equipment for the
armies of the European nations at
war. Textile mills, automobile fac
tories and big harness shops are ac-
cepting huge contracts for goods ulti-
mately to be delivered in Europe; and
at the same time the demand for food
stuffs and for horses and mules is
steadily increasing
AS far as the manufacturers are
concerned dense cloud of mystery
envelops their operations. A manu-
facturer in the middle west accepts
a contract to make goods to be de-
Hvered to some person in New York.
He does not know whether the mate
rial he is turning out will go to Brit
am or France, to Germany or Austria:
whether it will cross the Atlantic to
help equip the army Italy is holding in
leash, or whether it will cross the
Pacific to find its way to the Russian
army over the trans-Siberian railway.
All he knows is that payment for the
goods is guaranteed by responsible
not inquire, and even If he were so
curious as to investigate. it is doubt
full If he could find out anything
For instance, the Bethlehem Steel
Company of Bethlehem. Pa, let a con-
tract for nearly 100000 worth of
artillery harness and cavalry saddles.
The contract went to a vehicle manu-
facturer in the middle west, who does
not make harness or saddles, but who
in turn is subletting the work to sew
eral midwestern and southern estab.
lishments.
Nobody knows where all this harness
is to go. for the models to be made
are of the American type and the de-
livery is to be made on the order CT
the Bethlehem Steel Company.

The Hearts in Men.

From the Detroit News.
Two river-front wanderers uncere-
moniously leaped into the river Thurs.
day to rescue an unfortunate woman
who took her own life.
Whether OF not these men were out
casts we cannot know. The report
didn't attempt to furnish a description
of them. But little as their own lives
might be worth, they did not hesitate
to offer what they had.
On the river front one may daily see
little evidences of heroism among the
discarded members of society and the
refuse of humanity. Under tattered
clothes and scared features beats many
heart which would freely spare its
child falls In. the river and it is a rare
day when dozen dock WALLPAPERS won

rescue.

Another story, and one that apparently
finds much credence among those closely

huge Italian orders are

that there is no proof that the alleged
orders from the Italian government are,
in fact, not governmental orders, and say
that the circumstances of their being
placed through commission houses that
ordinarily represent the Italian govern
ment is not to be given too great weight.
They believe that the equipment being

apart from its name. is worth explor-

there is much doubt as to whether Or
not the harness and saddlery equip

manufacturers to send their cars TO

Another French order for automo-

motor making companies, the total or

more than $6.0OO,0OO. October one
of the large makers of expensive motor

Several weeks ago it became known
that Italy had purchased a million

there are substantial rumors that this

on the heels of the Italian purchase
came reports that the Greek govern
ment also is about to ask for bids for
all sorts of military supplies of the

The activity of the italian government
is the cause Of much speculation. The
theory ordinarily accepted in the United
States is that Italy is simply perfecting
her stock of equipment so that she will
be fully prepared should events require
her to abandon neutrality and enter the

opinion is almost unanimous in predicting

Training Camps Lack Bands.

Most of the camps where recruits are
in training lack organized bands The
rapidity of the recruiting and the great
tax upon the resources of the war of
flee have not admitted of band organi-
cation. However, nearly every COM
pany has a few musicians who play
flies or harmonious, and "Tipperary" is
the tune invariably heard as the
youngsters move along on practice
marches. If instruments are lacking
the men whistle the rousing tune, for
it has been demonstrated that it is a
good whistler" Even the least mu-
steal can sing or whistle the air.
