You Must
Sleep.

IT you cannot, it is due to an
lrritatcd or congcsted state of
the brain, which will soon de-
Nelope into nervous prostration.
Nature demands sleep, and
It is as important as food; it
is a part Of her building and
sustaining process. This period
of Inconsistencies relaxes the
mental and physical strain, and
allows nature to restore ex-
hausted vitality.
DR.. Miles Ncrvinc brings
refreshing sleep, because it
soothes the irritation and re-
moves the congestion.
It is also a nerve builder; it
nourishes and strengthens ev-
cry nerve in your body, and
creates energy in all the organs.
Nothing will give strength
and vitality as surely and
quickly as Dr.. Miles Nervine.

THE HESSIAN FLY-OCR OLDEST
PEST,

Few people know that the Hcssian
pests in this country. and that its
name was given ii as result of the
fact that it was brought to the United
States un the straw included in the
impcdimenta of the Iessian troops
sent over against the American revo-
lutionsts by George III. in 1876. 1t
was first noticed on Long Island,
about one hundred and twenty-five
years ago. and since has spread CO.
extensively with the progress of
civilization and wheat growing west,
north, and south. sometimes it COM
pletely destroys the growing wheat
loss it causes is about forty million
bushels annually. or about six or
seven per cent. of the total crop.
The chronological bureau has studied
it long and closely, and the recon-
mendations made TO wheat growers
have undoubtedly kept the damage
far below what it would otherwise
have been; and yet, in spite of the
best efforts of the scientists and the
farmers who act on their advice. the
fly got beyond control during the sea
son OF four years ago and destroyed
fully eighty per cent. Of the crop in
the infested region. the resultant loss
begging in the neighborhood of thirty
five or forty million dollars. This ex-
traordinary and unfortunate develop
ent was due to weather conditions
favorable to the pest. an unusual
scarcity OF its parasitic enemy. This
parasite. which forms inside the
body OF the fly. has been secured In
large numbers by the cntomologists
and liberated in several whcat-grOw-

Outcast from His Tribe

During the coolest night OF the win
ter John Stink, full-blooded Usage,
was induced to sleep in the Office of
the Capital hotel. It is Lerhaps the
first time he has spent a night under
the roof of a hotel or dwelling house
for many years. It is certain that it
is the first this winter, despite the ex-
ceeding cold. This Indian is a pecu-
liar character, and therefore the rea-
son for his living out of doors. AS an
Csage, he is possessed of considerable
wealth, and yet he is the poorest per-
son in the world. He is nearly so
years old, and has no relatives.
He is an outcast among his tribe.
He is supposed by his tribesmen to be
Possessed of an evil spirit, and for this
every Indian shuns him as a viper.
This antipathy has existed for years,
and, as the story goes, has arisen
from a burial of John for dead and his
coming back to life again.
After an illness that lasted for a
long time his tribesmen thought him
dead and he was buried according to
the primitive customs of the Osages.

Insurance premiums, simple inter-
est and compound interest have re-
ceived unwonted attention since the
spot light of public notice was focused
on the possibilities of the vast capital
held by life insurance company con-
trolled by one man. A mathematician
has calculated that if one English
penny, or two cents American, were
put out at 5 per cent compound inter
est at the birth of Christ it would
have amounted by the year 1910, to
more money than could be expressed
by 357,OOO,OO0 globes each equal to the
earth in magnitude, all of solid gold
Of standard quality. But if the penny
had been put out at simple interest
the amount in the same time would
have been only little over $1.70. Car
rying the compound interest figures
on the same amount up to the year
1916 gives as a result 2,l07,530,864
worlds of solid gold.

"Very friendly are the natives,
treating an Englishman with great re-
spect. Some of the tribes, however,
are quite scared at the sight Of a

tremely small villages were deserted

strangers arrival in village, the
sheik comes forward and welcomes
one, orders an 'augrib' (native bed
stead) for cne's use, and over "a cup
of coffee or bowl of sugar-water en-
tertains his guest. The sheiks are, on
the whole, very fine race Of men and
in courtesy of manner compare with
the most polished European.
con leaving the village the sheik
usually walks at the head Of ones
horse, accompanied by his two or
three chief men, and, en- reaching the
outskirts Of his village, points out the
way to the next halting place, grasps
you hand to wrist, and thus you bid

n ancient Athens the lowest rate OF
interest was 10 per cent and the high
est SO per cent. In Rome similarly
exorbitant rates were allowed. About
the year 346 B. G., however, the rate
in Rome was limited to S per cent
later the practice of taking interest
for money was forbidden. In England
an act was put in force in 1897 forbid
ding Christians to take interest for
money. During the reign of King
Henry VIII. there was an enactment
making 10 per cent the legal rate, but
it was repealed. From 1852 to 1924
the rate was 10 per cent. In the lat
ter year it was reduced to 8 per cent
and the word interest was first used
instead of usury.
