AN ERA OF REIMBURSEMENT.

AN ERA OF RE-ADJUSTMENT,
The manufacture and use of tn
luxuries of life seem to be on the il
crease, even among all classes {
people, notwithstanding the CON
plant that business is quiet in man
localities in the manufacture an
sale of the necessaries of life.
AS to the cause of this condition
it is hard to determine. In a grea
many of the cities there are NOR
houses and good ones too, than Their
is any demand for, indicating tina
there are more houses than peopl
or tenants. The question then arise
what has become of the people who
once lived in these houses? AS {
matter of fact many of the houses
have never been occupied, or if SC
some other house was vacated and
more houses were actually built than
there was any necessity for. 1t is
also true that in the cities many of
the people have moved to some other
locality and left the homes vacant
which they we're occupying.
This same condition holds true
with business houses in most of the
cities. Then again, many people,
as they become more prosperous did
not think the old home in which they
had lived for many years is good
enough for them and built a new one,
often moving out and leaving the
old one vacant. And this is also
true with business houses.
The trouble then seems to be that
in most lines we have lived too fast,
have made more improvements along
some lines than the country would
justify and at the same time have
seriously neglected some other lines
of needed improvement which the
people are slow in taking up.
But these conditions will soon
change. 1t has been our history
that we would have to stop such
rapid progress for two or three years
about every generation to let certain
lines catch up and then start off
at more rapid pace than before.
The American people are natural
born spectators or gamblers in the
sense of taking a chance, and fire.
quently a very long chance, in their
investments, not seeming to realize
that the longer the chance the less
opportunity they have of winning,
and making losing they slow up for
a while. So the country in general
has been taking too many chances.
Too many people have lost in some
one or another of their wild specula-
tons and for the time being are more
conservative along certain lines, fire.
quently cutting down the expenses of
the necessaries of life and in many {
cases adding to the luxuries of life.
But these conditions have always
existed and always will and while I
occasionally we find some one so {
foolish as to think he can reform {
hem, they have always gone on just t
he same. But each time the coun- l
.ry has re-adjusted itself and gone
pack to a normal basis under the =
lew conditions, and that is just what
We are doing now-re-adjusting our .
selves to our new conditions. While =
his REIMBURSEMENT is taking place q
he country seems unusually quiet.
However, when once settled to the n
ew condition we will start off better
han ever. :,

Nervous Period
iCaI Headaches
Succumh IN. nfi-Kamnia TahIefe

This trouble commonly called sick head
sche," is said to be due to the retention of
urea in the system. Often it is stated that
poor condition of the blood is a cause of
these headaches, or that it is a nervous
condition; and in certain cases, no doubt
this is true.
Where treatment is demanded, 1t is more
for the pain than anything else, and DIR.
A. r. Schellschmidt of Louisville. has
found Anti-kamnia Tablets to give prompt
and satisfactory relief. Rest should be
insisted upon" he says, land the patient
should go to bed, darken the room, and all
the attendants and family should be as
quiet possible. An emetic will some
times shorten the attack. The bowels should
be kept open with "Actoids"; hot bath and
thorough rundown with a coarse towel
often give grateful relief. Two Anti-kamnia
Tablets when the first signs appear, will
usually prevent the attack. During an at
tack, one tablet every hour or two will
shorten the attack and relieve the usual
nausea and vomiting" These tablets may
be obtained at all druggists. Ask for AK
Tablets. They are also unexcelled for ner-
vn"s headaches. neuralgia and all pains.

CITY GROWING UP,
SUFFRAGETTE FINDS
Peace Advocate Notes Fifth
Avenue Changes and
Dirty Streets.

New York has changed greatly in
Yen years, according 20 Miss Susan
Copsey, an English suffragette now in
this country IN the interests Of peace.
Her story Of the rescue OF the oil
steamer Chester by the crew OF the
Philadelphia appeared in The Tribune
recently.
AS ! remember the city at my last
fSt here she said yesterday, Fifth
Avenue was dotted mere and there with
shops Everywhere else were town
houses and mansions These have dis
appeared for the most part now. and
huge blocks Of stores stand as gigantic
monuments Of commerce"
Miss Copsey also pointed out a trans
formation in the downtown district,
where the old buildings which used 20
oring in huge rents are now either
Empty or let 20 Indifferent traders.
Perhaps In ten years, she surmised,
hey, too, may be all demolished.
But there is still the slovenly way
o. repairing and cleaning the streets, "
she continued, (which does not add
charm 10 the city. There are many
pitfalls, and frequently paving stones
are missing.
The dustbins are an eyesore, and
overfowing refuse seems TO be lying on
ne curb the greater part OF the day.
IN London you could not see such a
ming after 10 a. m. Why is this so in
ne go-shead City OF New York;"
The Suffragette, however, had praise
ior the regulation Of traffic, which, she
believes, Is better than II was ten years
ago, and compared the buses with
noss in London. The latter, she said,
carried passengers at two cents mile,
81 epsrtted on a teyen-mile route into
ne oeuntsV fer ~ cents.

HAMME RSTEIN HOUSE SOLD
Frank Gersten Gets Lexington
Avenue Place for S820,000.

Oscar Hammerstein's Lexington Ave
nue. Opera House, projected when the
impresario thought he could evade the
agreement made with the Metropolitan
Opera Company at the time he dis
posed Of the Manhattan Opera House,
ia out Of his hands for good. New
management was in evidence yesterday,
and Frank Gersten, who organized the
purchasing concern, announced that he
was in possession.
According 70 Mr.. Gersten, who has
been active in Bronx theatrical affairs
and has built and managed theatres in
that borough, Oscar Hammerstein lost
$3.50 600 or the actual real estate trans
action. What has been lost in attempts
10 make the huge auditorium, con
structed for grand opera, profitable
with moving pictures and vaudevllle
can only be guessed. The house cost
s1.1OO,O6O. The Gerston-Cramer Amuse-
ment Company admits paying So2O,OOO
for g.
The first public performance was
given last August. For several weeks
high class films and singers giving
popular grand opera selections were
presented, with doubtful results. linen
began a period of rumor, in which the
Aborns, whose opera season under
New Theatre and City Club patronage
had closed al the Century, were promi-
nently mentioned as lessees. Other
less known directors entered the teld
and got publicity for themselves by, an
pouncing that they were prepared TO
take over the Lexington Avenue house
All these negotiations coming to
nsught, Arthur Hammerstein took the
management and reopened the house
with vaudeville OF the character offered
at the Victoria. The people came, but
the cost of operating the house was too
great, and the sale 20 the Gersten-
Cramer concern followed. Large ho!-
dav audiences were present yesterday.
