insomnia Remedies.

However hopeless you may consider
your case, be slow to fly to drugs for
relief from Insomnia. A rubber bag full
of broken ice applied to the back of
the neck and a hot water bag at the
feet are highly recommended as rene
DIV for insomnia even in obstinate cases.
The circulation is equaljzed by this
treatment.
The secret Of hot milk cure also rec
commended for sufferers from insomnia
lies in slipping the beverage. The act
of slowly swallowing the liquid is
soothing in it's effect and generally
produces the much desired drowsy feel
ing which leads to the coveted sleep.

rne HOME Of the Kindergarten,


The Japanese have the most perfect
Kindergarten system in the world. IN
fact, they originated this method OF IN
structing by entertainment instead or
bv punishment inflicted. Their play ap-
paratus for such purpose is elaborate
but all of it is adapted to the infant
mind, which it is designed at once TO
amuse and to inform. The little ones
of Japan even become somewhat inter-
ested in mathematics by seeing ana
feeling what pretty thing a cone, a
sphere or a cylinder is when cut out
OF wood with lathe. They make out
lines OF solid figures out of straw, with
green peas to hold the joints together.
and for the instruction OF the blind fiat
blocks are provided with the Japanese
characters raised upon them.

WESTERN BALL WAR.
Will Back the Fight Against
American Association.

Cincinnati, March 15.-The Enquirer
prints the following:
The situation as it is in Kansas City
and the west has seldom been equaled
in baseball history. There has been OPP
position in cities before, but a rival club
is always put in for the purpose of
making money. Here it is an entirely
different proposition. and while the
Western league promoters would not
refuse to accept profits, they expect
the balance to be on the other side of
the ledger, and the placing of clubs in
Kansas City and Milwaukee by the
Western league in opposition to those
of the American association has been
done apparently with the idea of re-
venge. w. T. Van Brunt, the St. Jo-
seph railroad magnate, and Tom Burns,
brother of the Colorado Springs mine
owner, felt that they had been done a
wrong by Thomas J. Hickey and Geo.
Tebeau when it was decided to take
Kansas City, ST. Paul and Minneapolis
out of the western and put them in
stronger circuit. At first they were
satisfied that what was being done was
for the better, but after several secret
conferences with some of the magnateS
of the league they concluded that they
were getting the short end of the deal.
Tebeau and Hickey had no objections
to leaving the Western league, as they
intended going away, but Van Brunt
was not satisfied. and besides putting
an opposition cruz IN haHSaS city ne
decided to invade Milwaukee and enter
on a war of determination. Thus far
he has stuck to the task much better
than most people thought he would.
Van Brunt and Burns practically own
the entire league. Burns owns the Colo
RADIO Springs franchise and Van Brunt
that in st. Joseph, while both are said
to be behind the Kansas City, Mil
waukee, Omaha, Peoria and Des Moines
clubs. Van Brunt supplies all the
money to put Nichols and Manning in
Kansas City, and insured the other |
towns against loss if the owners would |
stick to the game.
