THE AMERICAN DISEASE

Neurasthenia may be called & 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 force and produce eneurasthenia, for the disease is simply exhaustion and excessive irritability of the nerve centres.
 A tendency to ncurasthenia is inherited by many Americans whose ancestors had but a 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 feeling of ex- hauston upon rising in the morning, of disturbed sleep, headache, with a sense of weight and tightncss about the head. The patient is irritable, difficult to please, and suffers from depression.
 The treatment is to remove the cause if possible Gas when overstudy is respon- siblc) take abundant rest, spend ten hours in bed out of every twenty-four, eat as much nourishinc food as possible and take pr.

OF SUFFRAGETTES
London Paper Refers to Mrs. Pank- hurst as n Popular War
 

Correspondence of the Associated Press. }
 London, April 2.-"Patriotie fervor draws thundcrous cheers in place Of old time jeers,' is the way a London newspapers heads an article on Mrs. Pankhurst as q popular war orator. The paper itself is violently anti-suf- fragette. but honors the war truce which the suffragettes announced at tho beginning of the war.
 It was only a year ago when a speech by Mrs. Pankhurst was a sig nal for riot if allowed to proceed at all. Now she is described bv d reporter in these words:
 "A graceful, dignified figure the suffrage leader makes as she faces the audience. Over a becoming black dress she wears a black lace shawl; suspended from a thin gold chain is u lorGnette which she does not use. The Union Jack centered across a cur tain of green forms the stage back ground t.r. ..E- r. ...
 Her women followers still send up floral offerings to the stage, says the reporter. In speaking, Mrs. Pank- hurst carefully avoids passion and in vcctive, but she presents her points clearly and tellingly and with convic- tion. At the finish of her speech, young suffragettes sell postcard sou Venirs for patriotic fund.

The regular use of TesinoI soap is usually enough to prevent those dis dressing rashes and chafings to which most babies are subject. This is so, ], first. because resinol soap is absolutely pure and free from harsh alkali, and second, because 1t contains the resinol medication, on which so many physi- cians rely for skin troubles.

Some Compliment.

1t is not often an editor hands himself a COM
pliment
doing, because certain we'll known citizen
of this community has and is persistently recOg-
niZing the value of this paper a reliable dis
SeminatOr of local news, and has paid US this COM
pliment in a manner which speaks volumes for his
knowledge of the good things of life.
He is not destitute of this worlds goods, but
he possesses the rare faculty of holding onto that
which he gets, lest the pangs of poverty overtake
him in his declining years.
He possesses a wide knowledge of local affairs,
because he is constant reader of this paper, and
the knowledge extracted therefrom is turned to
good account in his own behalf.
If an important event is soon to occur he knows
paper.
If there is a bargain to be had anywhere in the
community he is promptly appraised of the fact, be-
cause of that, too, he has read in this paper.
And if an acquaintance is sick or death has
overtaken some member of the family or the stork
has paid visit to the home of some friend he is
among the first to extend his coincidence con-
gratulations of these, too, he has read in
this paper.
He is a man of wisdom pillar of strength
with a brain which absorbs to the utmost of the
essence of life.
Few things escape his notice, so he is ever on
the alert
But the one thing which he never overIooks is
this paper, and therein lies the compliment which
we take unto oursef. It gives us a feeling that we
are something more than mere worm in human
shape, that may be a whole cog in the
community wheel
True. he is not subscriber to the paper-his
dollar never reaches the otice-but he reads the
paper just the same.
For his neghbor is subscriber and pays in ad-
vance, and in his generosity he lends the paper to
the pillar of strength'-by request.
But it may not always be so. In time we have
hopes that the pillar will pay US the super-com-
pliment of permitting US to add his own name to
subscription ist-paid in advance, of course.
Time sometimes works wonders, even in the
newspaper field.
And we have hopes strong hopes.

Keeping the Right Road.
From the Savannah News.

According to the report of the secretary of state
of New York no other offense got so many people
into trouble in that state last year as drunkenness
and yet the great majority of the offenders were
temperate in their habits The burglar who
drinks is usually inefficient, and so it isn't very
long before he makes mistake in his nocturnal
laborS and lands in the penitentiary. The safe
blower who permits whisky to muddle his wits
lives to regret it in JAIL unless, of course, he dies
while resisting arrest. The fOrger, the swnder
the confidence man who cannot let whisky alone
sooner or later gets into the hands of the law
That has been true long time, and it is tribute
to the police and sherffs forces in New York that
so many criminals who temperate in their
habits" were convicted.
Temperance is big word. 1t means more than
not getting drunk. The automobile speed fend
is an Incorporate man. and the list of convictions
is much larger in New York than it would be
all automobile drivers had proceeded at lawful
speed. The man who carries chip around on bis
shoulder all the time is Incorporate, and it IS ne
that often figures in shooting scrapes, for many
times the chip on the shoulder is there because
in the hip pocket is a pistol
The secretarys report shows also that the great
majority Of the offenders natives of the Untel
States could read and write and had received
religious instruction. Add to that the fact thal
they were temperate in respect to intoxicants and
would seem that many of them ought never to have
run afOul Of the law.
The man who drinks is neither as good nor as
efficient citizen as he would be if he didn't Ou,
abstinence alone does not of itself make him goou
citizen. The large number of non-drinkers WIN
convicted of crime in New York last year
is evidence enough of the truth of that statement
II anybody needs more proof than is before us
eyes every day in any city. 1t pays to start Do!s
right, of course, by giving them an education,
by telling them of the principles of Christian
religion; by getting them to avoid intoxlcanS
and drugs but even such start does not ASSURE

The Weather Men.

The relatively small loss of life in the recent
hurricane that swept the Gulf coast emphasizes the
important work that is being accomplished by the
United States weather bureau and the rapid strides
made by it in recent years toward the perfection
of weather forecasts. For days before the storm
struck the coast the government forecasts outlined
its track with remarkable accuracy and gave ample
opportunity not only to shipping but to those on
land to protect themselves. Not only at Calves
ton but all along the coast at remote points,
messages of the weather bureau were received in
plenty of time to let the cautious ones seek places
of safety and to enable some measure of prepara-
ton for the oncoming winds.
During the winter months warnings of low tenn
peratures have enabled the farmers, particularly
the truckers in the extreme South, to protect grow
ing crops and fruit trees, and have unquestionably
saved millions of dollars in this way
Each years sees improvement in the forecastng
system, and while the jokesmith may poke fun at
the weather men" they are playing an important
part in the affairs of and in the material pros
perity of the country.

VARIOUS THINGS.
COntentment.

In the great town of LifeOpOlis
Where both the rich and poor
Rub elbows; where the great and small
Converge, caught by the lure
There stands a monumental shrine
Known as the Hall of Fame,
And those who dare its portals fair
May win an hOnored name.
Upon the heights the temple stands;
The stairway to this hall
Is built of Excellence and Worth,
And, yet, how many fall!
Many of the humble birth arrive
While some of noble caste
Make for the prize no sacrifice,
And Failure meet at last.
Some reach the gateway unannounced,
Unrecognized, unknown,
And wait until Posterity
Their tardy honOrs own;
But others seek a humble manse,
Where, written on the door,
You read in gold these letters bold:
GOVERNMENTAL no more.
