THE AMERICAN DISEASE

Neurasthenia may be called a dis
tinctively American disease because the
condition OF nervous strain that produces
it is more prevalent here than in any
other country. Overwork and worry,
ambition, haste, the high tension at
which business is conducted, all use up
the nerve forceand produce neurasthenia,
for tie disease is simply exhaustion and
excessive irritability of the nerve centres.
A tendency to neurasthenia is inherited
by many Americans whose ancestors had
but small stock of nervous energy to
bequeath. Grief, excessive worry or dis
appointment in love, business or school
work may cause neurasthenia.
The symptoms include a feeling of ex-
haustion upon rising in the morning, of
disturbed sleep, headache, with a sense
OF weight and tightness about the head.
The patient is irritable, difficult to please,
and suffers from depression.
The treatment is to remove the cause

Board of Trustees Belfast Free Library.
BELFAST FREE LIBRARY,
BELFAST, MAINE, March l, 1915.
To the Trustees OF the Belfast Free
Library:
Gentlemen: l have the honor to sub
nit to you the twenty-seventh ann al
report of the Belfast Free Library.
The work of the past year has justified
the existence of the Library as an edu-
cational institution by furnishing books
for students in varied subjects, while, at
the same time, many seeking recreation
from reading have found it source of
pleasure. The attendance in the Read
ing Room has been unusual this winter.
the tables being crowded almost every
day by students consulting reference
books, or by people enjoying the attract
i've pictures and magazines to be found
in the room.
REGISTRATION.
In ten years there has been registra-
ton of 3,114 persons taking books for
home use, of which number 205 names
were added in the year ending March l,
l9lo. IL is our custom TO Withdraw reg
istration cards because of the death or
change of residence of library patron,
but, as we are seldom notified of change
of residence, it is impossible to keep our
list confined to names of people who
are actually in the city and who may
possibly come to the Library There
fore, the 1889 names registered in
the Library today after cancelling as
registrations during the year, is no doubt
in excess of the number of living and
present library patrons.
CIRCULATION.
The total circulation of books has been
as large as usual, the fiction comprising
Ga per cent, which is not excessive, as
Bangor Public Library reports 70 per
cent in 1918 and Fairhaven, Mass, GIT
per cent.
We are glad of slight increase in the
number of juvenile books loaned.

should cause them to think well. A
man who condemns all women and
a woman who condemns all men are
both extremely unreasonable. A
great many people have no just
cause to complain, while many others
have. Most always the ones who are
having it good are the first and worst
to complain. If people were fair and
simply dealt fair, what wonderful
bliss we'd attain. But what can we
expect when we always select the
same dose over again. (Root hog

P. S.-True friendship is better
than love without friendship. Get

meanings, for some get more than
they honestly earn, while others
earn more than they honestly get.

but it's unfair. Gosh darn it au!-F. S.

Where else shall I go when I want to
quench my thirst? 1 have to go out
of my way to a railroad station or
hotel or else buy a lunch at a res
taurant if l want to get a drink of
water. When the saloon is nearer l

mer while waiting for street cars.
l hate booze. But I like saloons.
They the the friendliest human
places in town.
In a saloon you can say hello to
anybody you meet there and it's all
right. In a restaurant you've got
to have an introduction to anybody
you talk to. And in a railroad station
the cops nab you if you ask a strang-
eT for a match.-C. S.
MATRIMONY. - Why don't more
young people wed and live decent
married lives to their hearts con-
tent?
mere are TWO answers. In JQe uTSC
place, most of them expect too much
from each other, and when they
marry with such feeling they always
reap discomfort. In the second place,
very few men find employment that
is steady and high-saIaried enough to
support even a common and most
useful wife satisfactorily.
Why don't some of these cultivated
aristocrats with their high ideals or
thoughts of religion and civilization
do something to upIift the iIl-used
youth who might go right if he re-
ceived the proper care and necessary
attention?
It is unfair to slam the young fell
lows too hard when most of them are

Gates. He is an able and construc-
tive man, impartial and unbiased to-

the respect of rich and poor alike.
