To Nervous Women.
Avoid hnste nnd hurry: these nre
the things thnt confuse the brnln and
make cloar Judgment Impossible. The
besetting temptation of the nervous
woman la to hurry from ono duty to
another In breathless haste, attempt
ing many tasks, yet achieving none
of them with dignity or freedom.
Whon such a temptation arises, call
halt. Remain quiet for a fow min
utes; summon back your self-possession,
and refuse to do In ono hour
work thnt should bo sprend over two.
Habituate yourself to tho control ot
tho emotions. Nothing makes such
havoc of the nervous system, nothing
disorganizes the Inner llfo llko nnger,
rear, worry. These forces must bo
quelled if the soul Is to maintain Its
supremacy nnd nervous pence is to bo
enjoyed; nnd this Is done, not, indoed,
uy n nat of the will, but by substltu
ting for theso destructive emotions
luch constructive ones as love, aspira
tion after some Ideal, fnlth in God. nnd
reverence for tho divine order of life.

JOHN MITCHELL'S WORK
John Mltcholl, former president of tho Unltod
Mlno Workers of America, continues to work fot
tho Improvement, advancement nnd snfety of th
man who tolls with his hands.
For n cauplo of yoars now, Mr. Mltcholl has
been connected with tho National Civic Federa
tion, nn organization backed by Androw Carnegie
nnd other millionaires. His olllco hns to do with
tho welfare of tho worklngmau nnd results of his
work hnvo shown thnt na better cholco could
have been mado.
John Mltcholl Is a self mudo mon. Ho knows
what it is to toll In a coal mlno. Ho has gone
down In tho pits not knowing whether ho would
como out nllvo. Ho has hnd boiiio nnrrow cs
enpes, nnd ho has seen his companions and
friends dlo at their work. Ho is noted for his
kind-henrtodncss. In tho fnll of 1808 ho wns vlco-prcsldont nnd orgnntzur ol
tho Unltod Mlno Workers 6f Amorlca. There was n strike nt tho Vlrden Coal
company's mlno in Vlrden, III. For dnys tho striking minors enmped nround
the ntockndo tho company had orcctcd for tho protoctlon of Its property. Mr,
Mitchell, ncompanlcd by sovcrnl newspaper men, visited tho camp ot grim
tollers ono night, nnd the sights ho witnessed touched his henrt. Then came
tho day when tho company attempted to land a train-load of ncgroos from Ala
bama to take tho places of tho whlto mon. Qovernor Tanner had rcfusod tc
order out tho militia to protoct negroes from othor states. Thoro was n rloL
Nineteen or twenty mon In tho ranks ot tho strikers toll dead under tho
rhowcr ot bullets from rifles used by hlrod dctactivos from an agency In St.

tbo train was shot through tho arm.
Then enmo John Mltcholl hgntn. Ho wns what might bo called tho nngol
of mercy to tho strlckon families of tho miners. Ho wnsn't violent; ho coun

thought Mr. Mltcholl too peaceful, but In tho long run hts policy was found
to bo tho wlnnor. No man ovor did ns much for tho minors nn ho.
The other day ho went out to SL Louis from Now York nnd tnlked on the
subject closest to his heart thnt of placing safeguards around tho working

Englnnd woro continually nt war, nnd throo times moro than in nny othor na

trial ncldents In llou of tho employers' llnblllty protection.
"W! want to tnko this class of dnmngo suits out of tho courts altogether,"
ho said. "Tho fact that an omployoo has to buo his employer In caso ot In-
Jury engenders tll-fcollng between tho omployoo and tho employer, nnd makes
the employee loso the, only mnn, pcrhnps, from whom ho enn got a Job. Wo also

Sky.Scrapers While You Walt.
"Every time two stories ot steel at
completed the derrick must be raised,"
writes William Allen Johnston, In Har-
pors Weekly. "Only a year ago It
meant a day's work. Now they do It
In from 30 minutes to two hours. In
tho old way they rigged a stiff-legged
derrick above, which grappled down
and lifted up tho boom-derrick. In
other words, thoy rased a derrick with
derrick. Now they make the der
rick raise Itself. A young iron fore
man solved tho problem one day when
his company gnve him Just 13 days
to put up tho frame of a 13-story
building. 'It's easy enough,' said he.
You Just fold up tbo derricks and lash
the boom nnd mast together. Then
detach tho main "fnll," or hoisting
cnblo.tfrom the boom and give It a
clutch around the mast about one
third of the longth from the top. Now
start your winding drums down thero
In the basement, and what's going to
happen? Why, the cablo pulls tho
hole derrick up and holds It till we
mako new moorings.'"

Excavation ot tho Panama conai
through tho Culebra range ot hills has
eot in motion a mass of 2,000,000 cu
bic yards ot material, which Is sliding
into the excavation apparently on an
Inclined substratum ot clay. The fact
is said to illustrate one of the many
advantages ot the present high-level
canal over one at sea leveL The sea
level cut would have been carried 80
foot deoper and the slides would have
been, in all probability, enormously
greater. The material will have to be
removed; but outside ot the additional
expense no 111 effects are apprehended.
HARMON FIRST IN CONTEST
Judson Harmon, governor of Ohio, who haa
beon renominated by the Democrats of his state
for a second term, Is tho first In the AoM for the
presidential nomination In 1913. Of course a
great deal depends upon whether bo Is elected
this fall, but his friends are sanguine of suc
cess. Should hb be defeated in his race for gov
ernor It naturally would put hlra out of the con
test for the presidency.
Governor Harmon was born in Hamilton coun
ty, Ohio, In 1810. His father was a clergyman.
Ho was graduated from Denlson university in
18C0, and from the Cincinnati Law school In

called Judgo Harmon to bis cabinet as attorney general. He held this impor
tant position two years and again went bock to the practise ot bis profession.
Ho was president of the Ohio Dar association and member ot the faculty of
tho law department of the University ot Cincinnati.
In January, 1910, he took tho oath ot office as governor of the Duckeya
state to serve two years. His renominatlon and his endorsement as the par
ty's candidate tor president by the Ohio convention speaks louder than words
so far as his record as governor Is concerned.

Justlco William II. Moody of tho United States
supdomo court must resign. Under tho law a
momber ot tbo court must serve ten years before
ho can retire on pay. To aid Justice Moody, Sen
