Dewar. Bellefonte, Pa., January 8, 1915. Se —— TTT CURE FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE Physicians Have Found Work to Be as Effective as Rest, If Not More So. Some physicians are finding that work is quite as effective a 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. Herbért 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 a 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. elry and metal work have proved too trying for untrained 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 a time, many of whom worked only a few hours a day. Commenting on this Dr. Richard C. Cabot says: “When Doctor Hall joined his squad of neurasthenics to the ranks of the industrial army he added his contribution not only to therapeutics, but to sociology. problem of the sub-standard worker— handicapped in the race of industry, but not necessarily excluded from that inspiring company. He attacked a problem which faces all who deal with the | chronic insane and in fact all chronic invalids, no matter what their disease. the consumptive, the alcoholic, Rich or poor, they all need work, for without it they degenerate mentally and morally.” HARD MATTER TO ARRANGE Question of Disarmament, Following War, Will Test the Mettle of Diplomats. Whenever talk of the re-establish- ment of peace after the present war romes up. disarmament or the reduc- tion of armaments is sure to be an im- portant issue. Just how the nations shall effect a program of disarma- ment is a vexed question. The En- eyclopedia Britannica cites as “the only existing case of contractural re: fuction of armaments,” the disarma- ment agreement of the 28th of May. 1902, between Chilean and Argentine republics. By this agreement the twa governments arranged to reduce their fleets “according to an arrangement sstablishing a reasonable proportion hetween the two fleets, and respective ly promised not to increase their mark time armaments during five years, un .less the one who shall wish to in nrease them shall give the other 1§ months’ notice in advance.” The Britannica authority points oul that an agreement of this kind is more feasible among states whose navies are small, because in the case of large | navies it would be difficult to agree on a principle for assessment of the ! proportionate fighting value of the re spective fleets. Even comparatively slight differences in the ages of ships may make great difference in thei fighting value. Battle of Alma. Sixty years ago soldiers of Britain and France, fighting side by side, achieved one of the most brilliant vie: tories in the annals of war. Never has the valiant fighting spirit of the British troops been better shown than when, on September 20, 1854, they waded through the River Alma, amidst a shower of bullets, fought their way up the precipitous banks on the other side of the river and, hav: ing burst through the dense under- growth of vineyards, drove back the Russians, who were led by Prince Menschikoff. The British troops were led by Lord Raglan and the French by Marshal St. Arnaud. Three thousand three hundred of the allies were killed and wounded, a heavy loss “vhen one con- ‘siders that the British forces num- bered only about twenty-seven thou- sand and the French thirty thousand. Remembered Toast. In the 50s I was in Washington at a dinner given by Senator Dawson of Georgia, writes a correspondent of the New York Sun. A number of guests were present, among them be- {ng the noted actor, James A. Mur- doch. Toasts were given, and the ‘host requested that Murdoch recite Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s toast, viz.: The World: We came into it, naked and bare; We go through it with sorrow and care; When we die, we go, God knows where; If we are thoroughbreds here, We'll be thoroughbreds there; If we are scoundrels here, We'll be scoundrels there. This toast was recited with his un- surpassed elocutionary power and graceful manner, and left a memory that has been with me for years. His Business Was Looking Up. “Billings, the financing expert, was in Paris when the Zeppelins made their raid.” “What was he doing there?” “Noting the overhead charges, Watching the bombs.” Jew- | He attacked the | | SUPPLIES FOR THE SOLDIER | Line of Communication Must Remain Intact in Order to Provide Army With Supplies. General Grant said that when he bad re-established railroad communi- cation at Chattanooga and so brought food to his starving army the soldiers called it the “cracker line.” It is the most essential line in war, “Giard” writes in the Philadelphia Ledger. The two armies facing each other in France and Belgium contain as many | men as therc are people iu Philadel- | phia. At peace this city wears out must the soldiers wear out when con- stantly marching over rough country? To feed Philadelphia requires daily many train-loads of provisions coming In all directions. A soldier, like a citi- gen, must be fed. He needs clothes, blankets, rifles, ammunition, and he requires them constantly. The “cracker line” is the line that connects the army with its own stores . to the rear. Thats why we hear so much about cutting the enemy’s line of communication. To cut such a line and keep it cut means starvation. But we had two spectacular instances in the Civil war where such lines were cut without producing any particular , results. Just prior to Gettysburg, Gen- eral Stuart’s Confederate cavalry rode entirely around the Union camp, cross- ing its “cracker line” on the way. The following year Sheridan’s troop- ers made a complete circuit of Lee’s army in northern Virginia, Both these cavalry raids carried temporary terror to their foes, but neither was produc- tive of any permanent good. “GUARDED” BY A CRAZY MAN Sane Prisoner Gets a Suit of Clothes and Doesn’t Think He Has Much Kick Coming. When Frank Begosek, a Ravensdale coal miner, was examined by a lunacy commission and found not insane, he was ordered sent to the county hos- | pital to recuperate for a few days. At the same time another patient from the jail was found insane and ordered to Steilacoom. The deputy sheriff in charge of the two prisoners misunderstood the or- ders and reported to the jail officials that both men were “crazy” and had been ordered to Steilacoom. So Begosek was packed off to the asy- lum without protest. Later Deputy Sheriff John Cudihee went after him and tucked him in the county hos- pital. Begosek was perfectly good humored about it. They had burned his clothes at Steilacoom and allotted him a new suit and a pair of shoes, and he will go home fitted out for the winter. “It is a very good place, and the meals are plenty,” said Begosek la: conically, referring to Steilacoom. ‘“‘Begosek is entitled to the prize as the best-natured man in the world,” said the guard. ‘“When he went over, the real ‘nut’ with him imagined him- self entirely sane and insisted on tak- ing charge of Begosek and the dep- uty in charge humored him. So the ‘sane man went to the asylum in charge of the crazy man, and there was never a hard word between them.”—Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Moved Pole and Wires. Moving an electric-light pole, with its burden of wires, was the feat aec- complished recently by a Cleveland il- luminating company, which is regard- ed as novel from several standpoints. In adding five feet to the width of St. Claire avenue it was decided to move the curb on each side of the street , back two and one-half feet, but for part of the way the difficulty was in- creased by the presence of a pipe just inside of the curb. This was over- come by the use of an electric truck of three and one-half tons capacity supplied with a three-horsepower mo- and winch, which is ordinarily for drawing wires through the conduits. This outfit was backed up to a distance of two and one-half feet | from the curb and the pole secured | by a chain near the ground. The pole | and its load of wires then was raised and the truck backed to the curb and | i the pole lowered into its new loca- | tion. This was done in many in- | stances without any mishap. Worth, the Dressmaker, The noted Parisian dressmaker, Worth, owed his early success to the patronage of that famous personage | of the third empire, Princess Pauline . ! de Metternich, the wife of the Austri- an ambassador to France. By her wit and numerous vagaries of dress and manner she created a sensation at the court of Napoleon III and Eugenie. Therefore it was easy for Worth to become the most sought of the world’s dresmakers when the princess ap- proved his styles. Charles: Worth, while so long the creator of French fashion, was an Englishman, born in Bourne, England, in 1825, and died in Paris in 1895.—Baltimore Star. Caesar Met Check on Yser. Official dispatches to the Belgian legation at Washington of the German failure to cross the Yser, caused lega- tion officials to recall that Caesar suf- fered on the same ground. “The meadows of the Yser,” said a Belgian official recently, ‘constitute the ancient province of Menapie, where the legions of Caesar were checked. The story is so deep rooted among the people that a legend says a tree still stands there which is said to be the last one to which Caesar tied his horse, having been unable to travel far- ther.” 12,000 pairs of shoes every day. What | FIRST WOMAN TO GET STATUE Monument Was Erected Fifty Years Ago to a Brave Colonial Dame. Admiring friends of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson are planning a memorial Somebody suggests that this take the form of a statue—“the first statue of 1. woman to be reared in this coun- try.” Only a few weeks after Nordica’s death, it was said that a statue should be erected to the memory of that sweet singer. On that occasion it was also said that it would be the first statue to a woman in America. But 217 years ago another Ameri- can woman did something which not only deserved a statue, but got it. Haven’t you ever heard of Hannah Dustin? Captured by Indians at Haverhill, dragged from bed, where her one- week-old baby was promptly murdered, this hardy woman walked for days through snow and slush many miles and without shoes. She was destitute of everything except courage. From a captive white boy she learned how to kill a human being with a single stroke of a tomahawk. So one night she and the lad slew ten sleeping Indians, scalped them, and fled back through the wilderness to their home. : Hannah Dustin carried the ten scalps to the governor of Massachu- getts. and she received $250 for them. Just 50 years ago a statue was reared for her upon the island in the Merri- mac river from which she had made her escape.—Philadelphia Ledger. BATTLES SELDOM LAST LONG Conflicts Usually Quickly Decided, Al- though There Are Some Excep- tions to Be Noted. The battle of the Aisne is almost sure to be the longest fight in the world’s history. In fact, most of the famous battles have lasted under a day, as the fol- owing list will show: 1813. Leipzig. Lasted three days. French beaten by Russian, Austrian and Prussian armies. 1815. Waterloo. Lasted eight hours. Napoleon finally beaten by British and Prussians. 1854. Alma. Lasted three and a half hours. British and: French beat Russians. 1863. days. battle. 1866. Sadowa.
