are ten mills each of over 200 barrels
capacity and about 100 small mills of 80

not reported. Making a small, moderate
allowance for these mills, it appears
quite certain that the Kansas mills have

million bushels of wheat in the first
eight months of the crop year. The
mills which have reported, estimate that
they will grind 1888, 600 bushels of wheat

of Kansas mills in the next four months
will be 10 million bushels. making an
aggregate of 40 million bushels OF wheat
as the years proportion of the crop
ground by Kansas mills.
The daily capacity of the 120 mills
that have reported is 81 555 barrels. The
actual average daily Gncluding Sunday
output of these mills amounts to $4,000
barrels, or a little over two-thirds their
extreme capacity If the mills were all
closed Sundays and holidays their aver
age daily output for actual working
days was $4,000 barrels. Including
conservative estimate for the mills that

production in Kansas for eight months
has been about $4,000 barrels. The Kan
sas people consume about 5000 barrels
of flour daily. The remainder has gone

SLEEP IS PRICELESS
But 1t Can Be Obtained by Simple
rIethods.

Are you a hard worker? Are you
overcome with fatigue at the end of
each days labor, and instead of retiring
to bed with a feeling of satisfaction at
the prospect of a nights repose, do you
wait the hour of bedtime with dread and
shrinking?
Is it your unhappy lot to be awakened
every night, just after you have drop
ped off to sleep, by an intense, uncon-
trollable itching of the rectum? Do you
then endeavor to relieve the sensation
by scratching SO desperately that the
skin becomes raw and 1acerated, and
you finally sink into the sleep of ex-
haustion?
If so. you do not need to be told that
you are afflicted with itching piles. You
have probably tried every remedy you
could hear of. with but temporary re-
lief if any, and have concluded there
was nothing left for you but to drag out
a miserable existence. AS a drowning
man grasps at a straw, SO should you

Il am pleased to state that I bought
one fifty cent box of Pyramid Pile Cure

trouble of about fifteen years standing.

any lasting benefit, but I can honestly

a trif1e skeptical of Tom Sharkey's
rapid comeback to fighting condition,
there has been a change of sentiment
in regard to this fight until Munroe, in
talk if not in actual betting, has be-
come more and more of a long shot.
The impression is that Sharkey if any
where near the shape he was in when
he fought Jeffries will outclass this
western swinger, ignorant of many
punches.
Munroe is well known to be a strong
young fellow. However, he Mas not been
tried out by any of the usual routes tnat
conner climbs. He is basing all his future
on this one fight in hope of getting at
once into the big money. 1t IS regarded
as rather Skilfun management, but that
does not add to the record column OF the
fighter in any way. If he is knocked out
by Sharkey it will be regarded, IN hsnJing
talk as an old woman beaten by another.
Should he win he is bound to be given
probably more credit than the perform
ance is worth, considering Sharkey's life
of late years.
Sharkey has all the ring experience. He
has taken his beatings. probably more
than any man living, and comes back for
more. In any kind of condition in six
rounds he is expected to stand anything
that Munroe sends at him. In return he
must have something of his old punches
that will not do the young man any
Sharkey owes it to Philadelphia to put
up a hard fight. His fizzle there some

there is this fact to be considered: Shar-

garded as a has been. Unless he has
changed q lot he will work some to win
