products was over Sd. 0OO0O,OO0 The
average expense for each farm so far
as the labor is concerned, was $64 in
1899, while the average value of the
products per acre was $4.47. White
farmers paid more for their help, on
the average for each farm, principally
because their farms were larger.
Approximately each white farmer paid

HOW TO WOO SLEEP.
Rules by Which Victims of Insomni
May Find Relief,


May Find Relief,
The immediat e cause of insomnia is
abnormal activity of the brain, which
draws an undue amount of blood to
that organ. Cold feet usually accom-
pany a heated brain. TO re-establish
removed and the blood drawn from the
brain to the extremities, thus equaliz-
ing circulation.
A scientist who studies brain fag
recommends gymnastic exercise to pre-
cede repose. The following exercises,
each repeated several times, are rec
commended: Standing normally, inhale
slowly. Vigorously stretch the arms
out horizontally from the shoulders,
energiZing them to the finger tips. At
the same time rise on the balls of the
feet.
After remaining motionless for few
moments slowly relax the arms, return
to the normal poise and exhale. Stretch
the arms in front of the body and re-
peat the exercise; also stretch them di-
rectly upward and repeat. Unite the
three movements of the arms, raising
them horizontally forward and up
ward, rising on the balls of the feet.
inhaling and exhaling as before.
Next stand with the weight on one
foot. Extend the other a long step
diagonally forward, touching the toe
to the ground. Partially transfer the
weight to the forward foot, at the
same time bend that knee as much as
possible and raise the heel high from
the ground, keeping the whole of the
back foot on the ground until this posi-
ton of the bent knee and the raised
heel of the forward leg is firmly taken
Then gradually pull all but the toe
while pressing down forcibly, as if
overcoming a strong resistance, with
the forward leg. The forward knee
straightens, the whole foot comes to
the ground and the weight is trans
ferred to the forward leg during the
movement. Slowly transfer the weight
to the back leg, forcibly pushing that
foot to the ground as the heel of the
forward foot rises.
If sufficient force is exerted in press
ing the feet to the ground. after five
minutes practice they will glow and
tingle. That the extremities be warm
is necessary condition for slumber.
Many people are troubled with wake
fulness in the night after short sleep.
1t requires determination to rise and
take exercise, although that is the
only way in which some persons can
obtain relief.

How to Remove Hang Nail.

A Disagreement of the finger nails, to
which many are subject and which
causes severe pain whenever an attempt
is made to tear it off, is hang nail. To
remove hang nails various methods are
employed. Some people bite them off,
others cut them, and again some pull
them off, but the best way is to loosen
the membrane of the nail with a blunt
instrument and then cut away the
ragged flesh with pair of scissors. If
the membrane grows too long or rath-
er too high on the finger nails, press it
back with blunt instrument and then
cut off with pair of curved scissors.
Indeed, the membrane should be press
ed back every day after washing the
hands. Do not, however, be too rough
in the treatment of the nails if you do
not wish to run the risk of injuring
them at the roots.

4 poor investment

The turning down of Judge E. Amber
Armstrong, of Camden county, for a re-
appointment, was one of the surprises of
last week. Judge Armstrong had made
such notable record in his office, admin
istering the laws without fear or favor,
that it was supposed that his reappoint-
ment would come as matter of course
In fact, SO good had his record been that
the ministers of the county and those
interested in law and order rallied to his
support almost unanimously, but their
efforts were without avail, and another was
appointed to the position. All of which
would seem to prove that in the good old
temperance-loving Republican party the
saloonkeeper is more powerful than the
preacher. [Sunbeam.

A Sunset Law.

Another attempt is being made at Tren-
ton to reduce the hours of voting on cleo
ton day, by a sunset-closing act. This
measure was once before adopted by the
Legislature and decisively repudiated at
the polls at the next election, and re-
pealed by the subsequent legislature. The
polls now close at O'Clock, SO that
workingmen who labor until 6, or com
muters who do not return to their homes
until late, may have an opportunity to
cast their votes. The only reason that is
offered for the earlier closing of the polls
is that the returns may be obtained
sooner. This would be a convenience for
the morning newspapers, but the public
would suffer The bill should be defeated
in the interests of the voters of New Jer-
sey, and especially of the workingmen of
the larger cities.

La Grippe Quickly Cured.

SIN the winter of 1898 and 1899 I was
taken down with severe attack of what is
called La Grippe" says F. L. Hewett, a
prominent druggist of Winfield, Ill. ''The
only medicine I used was two bottles Of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t broke up
the cold and stopped the coughing like
magic, and have never since been troubled
with Grippe" Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy can always be depended upon to break
up severe cold and ward off any threaten
ed attack of pneumonia. 1t is pleasant to
take, too, which makes it the most desirable
and one of the most popular preparations
in use for these ailments. For sale by A.
