during each succeeding 10 years there
WAS a steady increase, and that in 1890
there was something more than 80 cases
of cancer to each 100, 600 persons.
From 1850 to 1860 the increase was
only two and fraction cases to each

nature of the disease and treatment as

was stated that in some States cancer
caused as many deaths as consumption.

fore, interest was added Ivy the replies
which he made to assertions of Senator
Martin and Congressman Flood at
Lunenourg and Appomatox. In his
speech at Lunenburg Court House Sena-
tor Martin was quoted as having said he
had settled the debt which brought
81, 700, 600 into the State treasury. The
governor produced records to show that
Senator Daniel had brought about the
settlement, but when the matter was
finally adjusted, the State of Virginia re-
ceiyed only the sum Of S.. 80 as its ball
ance. The governor also made the charge
that Col. Joseph Button, a member Of the
State democratic committee and its secrer
tary, was regularly engaged as Senator
Martins practical campaign manager at
Richmond, and that in this capacity he
brought Senator Martin all the informa-
ton there obtained to be used against
one who had never scratched a demo-
cratic ticket in his life His reference to
Congressman Flood who had accused
him of being absent from his Office l66
days in 1904, was that the congressman
was afflicted with failing memory. He
asserted that all OF his speechmaking
while governor has been for the good of
the State.

In the year 1903 Turkey in Europe imported paper and cardboard to the value of about $500, 900 and cigarette pa- per to the value of $400, ,0oo Austria and Italy were the chief sources of supply. The German consul at Saloniki says large quantities of all sorts of paper, wall paper, enter that port for distribution throughout Turkey. This paper trade Is in Austrian hands. Dif- ferent manufacturers in Austria com- bine in sending out commercial travel CTS to Turkey, one traveller showing the products of several Austrian paper mills.

DEATH THAT IS PAINLESS.
Usa1 Tramps Who Take Their Last Haeep on Burning Culm Banks
 in Pennsylvaata.

Death comes in many forms in the anthracite mines of Pennsylvania. but only one form is painless and pleasant, and to only one the victims go uncon- sciously. It is the death of the burning culm bank, says the New York Sun.
 Many times during the year is such ' death recorded when one of these great culm hanks is burning. The firx Is not seen in the daytime, and at night 1t shines only with a faint glow through the layers of ashes which sep arate the live coals fran the outer air.
 To these burning Links tramps and other untortunates, forced to spend night in the open air, go when the nights grow chilly. The warm breath of the cuIm lures them on with promise of warm bed for the night, and they lie down to sleep in the comfortable atmos- phere of the bank and never open their eyes again.

You Must
 Sleep.

If you cannot, 1t is due to an irritated or congested state of the brain, which will soon de- velope 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 Nervine 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.
 During the past winter I had two attacks of LaGrippe which left me very weak, and in bad condition. was so nervous could not sleep. My wife, after trying different remedies. went for doctor. The doctor was out, and neighbor recommended Dr. Miles Nervine, and she brought homo a bottle. had not slept for some time. and had terrible pains in my head. After taking few doses of Nervine the pain was not so severe, and I slept. I am now taking the second bottle. and ans very much improved"

HOLD FUNERAL IN A TENT.
Big Canvas Put to Many Strange Uses Serves as Church to
 Mourners.

ln Kendall county, H., there is big canvas tent that has been made to serve for an odd mixture of purposes For many years it covered regulation saw dust ring in which there were all kinds of performances by man and beast On other occasions it was made use of for revivals, and has been hauled eround the country from place to place for many purposes. This year Aurora bloomed out as Chautauqua town. and the tent sheltered big audiences intent on hearing lectures, recitations, and speeches from well-known takers. Music of all kinds has at odd times filled the big inclosure. However, the oldest purpose to which it was ever put came when Nels o. Cassem, a well-known Kendall county man, fell from his wagon as he was driving along the pub lie highway and broke his neck. Cas- sem was a well-known character, . farmer who in all of that section was known as the king of the Norwegians. !" He was known to be worth several hun dred thousand dollars in valuable lands. and the funeral promised to be larger than any church in Yorkville or Aurora would hold. One of the sons resorted to . unique expedient. He hired the big tent and stretched it out on one of the beautiful meadows over which his fa- ther had roamed for so many years. and the funeral sermon was thus preached under canvas.
