duced In the house a resolution in
structing the ways and means commit
tee to Inquire into the effect of differ

manufacturers. There is a disposition
to make an investigation, but it will

ton is substantially in the words of
the resolution adopted at Chicago by
the American Manufacturers associa-

Resolved, That the committee on

the alleged invasion OF our markets
and the menace offered to American
manufacturing industry by the pro

resolution of sympathy with the Ar,

Sleeping Children.

The fact that in Algeria there are very
few maladies of the nose, ears and throat
has caused Dr. Madcuf an eminent French
physician, to inquire into It's cause, and he
has found 1t due in n largo measure to a
practice of Arab mothers, who train their
children to sleep on hard bed, with one or
two coverlets for bed clothing, and to lie
on their sides, not on their backs 1t can
easily be shown that the right side is pref
cradle to the left for person to sleep on.
For one thing, the action of the heart or
liver is not impedcd in any way by the
pressure of the body when one lies on the
right side. DIR. Mndeuf seems to think
that sleeping on the back is the worst Of
all. If there is any irritation of the mu-
cous membrane'oi the nose, it is apt to OK
tend to tho ears and throat when one sleeps
in this position. Moreover, one is very
prone to breathe by the mouth, which is
neither healthy nor seemly habit. The
doctor, therefore, counsels all mothers to
accustom their children to hard bods and
to sleep on their sides-above all, on their
right sides. Tho habit formed in infancy
will be useful to them In their way through
life and probably save them from moro
than one illness.-Publio Opinion.

HEPARENT OF INSOMNIA.

The parent of insomnia or wakefulness Is,
in nine cases out of ten, dyspeptic stom-
ach. Good digestion gives sound sleep, in
digestion interferes with 1t. The brain and
stomach sympathize. One of the prominent
symptoms of weak state of the gastric
organs is disturbance OF the great nerve
entrepot, the brain. Invigorate the stom-
ach, and you restore equilibrium to the
great center. A most reliable medicine for
the purpose Is Hostetters's Htamach Bit
ters, which is far preferable to mineral
sedatiyes and powerful narcotics e: which,
ert a soporifc ininf1uence upon the
brain. soon cease to act. and in
variably injure the tone of the stomach.
The Bitters, on the contrary, restore ac-
tivity to the operations of that all inn
portant organ, and their beneficent influ-
ence is reflected In sound sleep and tran
quill state of the nervous system. whole
some impetus is likewise given to the ac-
tion of the liver and bowels by its use.

The Days Transactions on the Board OF
Trade.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1S.-In the early Liver
pool cables wheat received bearish inter-
probation. The first cable from that point
indicated no change in prices. This was
a disappointment and it was shown in the
opening quotations for May which ranged
from 797s to SOS, as compared with yester-
days closing price of $685. After lowering
around so cents for time the price began
to advance and In the first forty-five min
utes trading had reached 805s. Northwest
receipts were smaller than ever and re-
ports from that territory were to the effect
that arrivals were about down to the aver
age during the winter. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported 1868 cars as compared with
537 cars last week and 129 on the corre-
spon6ling day last year. Chicagos show
ing was equally as low, 43 cars against Is,
last year. Shorts did considerable cover
ing, being encouraged by better tone to
later cables and a belief which was quite
prevalent that the Liverpool opening had
been manipulated by this side. The price
had mary fluctuations between 1874 and
S0as during the forenoon. A report that
s3.0O0.0O0 had been engaged for export at
New York was the cause of the drop to the
last named figure. The market came en-
tirely under the spell of the New York
financial news and the weak stock market
in the last hour. 1t had recovered to S0h
from it's break to 1914, but went down again
to 7sss about half an hour from the close.
crop damage reports were more numerous
than before. The crowd refused. however.
to allow next years crop to enter so early
into this seasons campaign and felt and
acted like determined bears. The price
rested at S0h. Corn was extremely dull all
day, the little business doing being in small
lots and chiefly of scalping nature. Oats
opened lower and after a momentary dis
play of strength sold off still further under
free offerings. Later under good buying
the mraket recovered. Provisions were
disposition to postpone business until after
the holidays.
