WOMEN IN HOSPITALS
Experiences of Mrs. Rockwood and Miss Tierney
MISS MARGARET TIERNEY
A large proportion of the operations
performed In our hospitals are upon
women and girls for tome organlo
trouble.
Why should this be the case f
Because they have neglected them
selves, as every one of these patients
In the hospital beds had plenty of
warning in those dragging sensations,
pains at left or right of abdomen,
baokaches, nervous exhaustion, in
flammation, ulceration, displace
ments, and other organic weaknesses.
All of these symptoms are indica
tions of an unhealthy condition of the
female system and If not heeded the
penalty baa to be paid by a dangerous
operation. When these symptoms
manifest themselves, do not drag
along until yon are obliged to go to
the hospital and submit to an opera

Feeling Hest snd Cold.
The principal reasons that we feel
objects that are cold when brought in
contact with the skin quicker than
those that are warm Is that the skin,
being a very poor conductor of heat,
absorbs heat slowly from an object of
a higher temperature than Itself, while
other objects which are cooler and
which hi nearly every instance are
better conductors of heat than the skin
absorb bat readily from the skin, and
hence a sensation of cold is felt at
once.

Birds often have more sagacity than
is generally accredited them. The long
billed marsh wren, which builds a sub
stantial nest of rush leaves, swinging
in the tali rushes of a marsh, invaria
bly makes several nests, but only uses
one. This is undoubtedly for the pur
pose of misleading its enemies. The
nest used Is always the best hidden,
while those not used the decoy nests
may be easily found by those who
leek them.

TOTAL CROP OF THE
COl'NTRY IS EXOKMOl'B.
Secretary Wilson Says Farm Productb
Will Be Worth Half a Billion Dol
lars More Tluin Last Year Corn
Crop Will Reach to 2,500,000,000
Bushels This Year.
Henry Clews writes optimistically
of the crop and financial conditions
of the country in his last market let
ter. The flurry of the stock market
has not affected the substantial bus
iness Interests of the country. He
says:
It would not be fair to assume that
either the industrial or the agricultu
ral conditions are approaching any
thing like a demoralized point. The
government reports on crop conditions
this week are quite up to expectations,
Indicating that while in no instance,
will any of the great crops establish
new records, they are, nevertheless,
much above the average and are In
dollars and cents worth to the farm
ers more than some crops that have
established records.
The corn yield which from the
stock market standpoint Is the main
crop promises to exceed two and
one-half billions of bushels, which,
while something like 400,000,000
bushels less than the final harvest
report of 1906, has,- nevertheless, but
thrice been exceeded; the spring
wheat promise was curtailed less than
seven million bushels by the unfavor
able weather during August, and as
the winter wheat harvest Is already
assured it is quite conservative to ap
proximate the total wheat harvest for
736,000,000 bushels in 1906, but la
nevertheless, a good average of recent
'harvests.
The cotton crop situation Is also
showing that there will be a good sup
ply for export, so that from the agri
cultural standpoint there Is slight Jus
tification for predictions of reaction.
Secretary Wilson estimates that the
farm products will be worth between
$500,000,000 and $1,000,000,000 more
this year than last, and last year they
weer officially reported by Mr. Wil
son's department at $6,600,000,000.
