The residents of township $50,
range IS, have signed q petition
which will be sent to the Board of
County Commissioners of Mclean
county asking that the township
be organized as a civil township.
The name of every resident of the
township appears on the petition
and the Commissioners will I'M
doubtedly grant it. This is one
more step in the development of
the country and it is quite likely
that all the other townships in the
neighborhool will take the same
step early next spring. The adj
vantages gained by such organiza-
ton are numerous, but one of the
principal benefits derived will be
the grading of the roads. Good
roads are essential to the welfare
Of any community.-Ryder News.

The Rev. III Hicks 1904 Almanac.

The Rev. Irl r. Hicks Almanac
for 1904 is now ready. It will be
mailed to any address for 30 cents.
It is surprising how such an ele-
giant, costly book can be sent pre-
paid SO cheaply. No family or per-
son is prepared to study the heav-
ems, or the storms and weather in
1904 without this wonderful Hicks
Almanac and Prof. Hicks splendid
paper, Word and Works.. Both
are sent for only 81 a year. Word
and Works is among the best Am
serican Magazines. Like the Hicks

insomnia, would be the feet. Lying
on the right side, with the knees to-
gether, and considerably fexed, the
victim of insomnia should begin to
pedal both Lis feet slowly up and
down, with the movement entirely in
the ankles. The pedaling should keep
time with the natural rhythm of res
piration and be continued until it is
followed by deep and spontaneous
breathing. Several people who have
tried this remedy report that invol.
untary deep breathing invariably be.
gins before they have pedaled up and
down a dozen tines. In obstinate
cases Of insomnia the patient may
need to keep up the pedaling two or
three minutes, or even more, with in
termissions, if necessary. The treat.
ment may also be varied by moving
the feet alternately, instead of stimuli
taneously. though the latter method
has proved the more speedily effica
cious in the cases known to the
writer. The explanation of the result
obtained is probably simple. The
blood is pumped from the head, and
with the removal of brain tension, a
general relaxation follows, with a sc.
'quent deep respiration and it's result

We are inclined to think that those
who make their iiving-provided it is
fairly good one-in the sweat of their
brow have lighter hearts than those
who make it in the sweat of their
brain. The high spirits which seem
to be enjoyed by domestic servants
to Judge by the sounds which come
upstairs-are a case in point. Dust.
ing, scrubbing and plate cleaning
seem to weigh on the heart far less
than doctoring, journalism or the
study of law or theology. Too often
spirits are broken by overwork or by
disappointment in the wild struggle
to. succeed which goes on among pro.
fessional people. Certainly in the lit.
erary world light hearts are general
