 Sheep have had a strong tendency the last week but lambs are weak now and 10 to 20 cents below week ago.
 Run yesterday 10000 head. last week 42,Od0, but there are signs of falling off in receipts, and some traders look for lambs to make some gains in the near future. Fair to good lambs are selling at $6.5O to $665 good to choice ones $6.70 to $6.S5, yearlings S5.7O to $6.10, wethers S5.6O to $5.80. ewes S4.25 to $5.25. the pretty good ones $4.75 and upwards. A few thin lambs have sold lately to go to the country at $5.75 to $6.25. Packers complain of bad outlet for the mutton, but they continue to take the liberal receipts in a ready manner. showing that the channels are not greatly restricted Feeding districts in southern Colorado and in Kansas and Missouri are pretty well cleaned out but. of course. the big numbers from Ft.

DON'T DOSE THE STOMACH
Cure Catarrh by Breathing Hyomei- 6ole Under Guarantee ky H.
 Goodman.

There is one tretment for nasal ca tarrh which is based upon common sense. and at the same time, is thor oughly scientific
 Hyomei is not a cure-all; it is a specific for the cure of catarrh trou bles. Breathed through the neat pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, the aromatic healing of Hyo- mel penetrates to the most remote part of the nose, throat, and lungs, healing all inflammation and killing the catarrhal germ wherever present. So successful has HyOmei been in the cure of catarrn, that H. Goodman sells t under a guarantee that it will cost nothing unless it gives satisfac- tion. The complete Hyomei outfit sells for $1, and consists of an inhaler that can be carried in the vest pocket, a medicine dropper, and a bottle of time, and if more Hyoy0ei is needed, extra bottles can be obtained for 50 cents.
 It is the most economical of all remedies advertised for the cure of catarrh, and is the only one that treats this disease without stomach dosing, applying the medication and healing where the disease germs are present.
 Do not dose the stomach to cure nasal catarrh; breathe Hyomei. know ing that if this treatment does not cure, it will cost you nothing.

MOROCCAN AFFAIRS
 SEEM MORE HOPEFUL
The Finding Of Peaceful Settlement
 a Possibility.

London, Feb 25.-The feeling of unrest which has been so apparent in. the deliberations of the Algeciras conference on Mon roccan affairs during the past week seems to have been as least tempora- rily supplanted by a more hopeful and conciliatory attitude on the part of the delegates. Formal debates and ses- sions of the special committee on the question Of 2hc Moroccan bank will continue this week and the dispatches tend to create the impression thaL with the adjustment of this point the all important problem of the policing of Morocco will come 10 the front again with better chances of an ami- cable settlement
 Advices from European capitals show that none of the more important powers directly affected by the con ference have given up hope that the veZatious question will be ultimately adjusted.

ELECTION STRATEGY.
An Incident of an English Parlia.
mentary Contest.

An Incident of an English Parlias
mentRry Contest.
In the days before the institution Of
the secret ballot, when the candidate
with the longest purse usually won an
election, a former Lord DundonaId,
who refused to give bribes, contested
Honiton, but was beaten by an Oppo-
nent who paid his electors at the rate
of f5 a vote.
Then the unsuccessful candidate
conceived this brilliant plan, says the
writer Of a history of the Dundonald
family. He announced to his friends
that he was quite determined to win
the seat next time without bribery.
Then he sent the town crier round the
town to announce that all who had
voted for him in this first election might
repair to his agent, from whom they
would receive E10.
AS comparatively few people had
voted for him, this was not a very ex-
pensive process. And at the next cleo.
ton Lord Dundonald was elected by
an enormous majority. After the tri
umph several people came to him and
delicately suggested that some reward
was due TO such loyalty.
'Not a farthing," was the reply.
But, my lord, you gave E1O a head
to the minority at the last election, and
the majority have been counting on
something handsome on this occasion"
Perhaps So" said the clever candi-
date. "My former gift was for their
disinterested conduct in not taking my
opponents bribe of f5. For me to pay
them now would be to violate my own
principles. ."-Pearson's.

FATE OF THE LARGE ARRAY
SEEKING SANITARY INsPEc-
ToRsHIPs TO BE DECIDED

The special committee appointed by
the board of Health to examine appli.
cants for the position of sanitary in.
spector will convene this afternoon at
4 o'clock at the city hall The com.
mittee is. composed of Mayor Bliss and
City Physician Pierpont.
Judging from the number of appli-
cants the positions are eagerly being
sought after. 1t is stated around the city
hall that forty-fve or fifty have been
submitted to the committee, and it is
thought that the entire number will
be on hand when the examinations
commence.
The successful contestants in the
examinations will be appointed to fll
positions in the sanitary department
made necessary by the action of the
city council in passing an ordinance
increasing the number of inspectors
during the summer months.

Early and Late Easter..

Easter Sunday cannot happen earlier
than March % or later than April %
but between these two dates it has a
range Of thirty-five days. At the time
Of the council of Nice, 325 A. D., it
was agreed by the representatives pres
ent that from that time forward Easter
should fall on the first Sunday after
the full moon occurring on or next
after March 81, or, in other words. ION
the first Sunday after the first full
moon after the sun crosses the line"
Since the above arrangement was
adopted by the great ecclesiastical
council referred to Easter has fallen
on March % and on every date be-
tween that and April %, but 1t is only
after long intervals Of time that it oc-
ours on its extreme dates. In 1886
Easter fell on April %, its latest pos
sible date, an event which will not
again occur until the spring OF 1913.
The last time Easter fell on its earliest
date was in 1918. This will not happen
again until after this century.

DAVID HARuM,s HAuNrs.
Where the Winters Are Cold and the
Shows Deep.

Shows Deep.
Writing from the vicinity David
Harum made famous, a man says
that he was an habitual coffee drink
er, and, although he knew it was do
ing him harm. was too obstinate to
give it up, till all at once he went
to pieces with nervousness and a
used up feeling, which practically
untitled him for his arduous Occupa-
ton. and kept him on a couch at
home when his duty did nos call him
out.
while in this condition Grape-Nuts
food was suggested to me, and aban-
dOning coffee, 1 began to use it. Al
though it was in the middle of winter
and the thermometer was often be-
low zero, my entire living for about
six weeks of severe exposure was
Grape-Nuts with a little bread and
butter and a. cup of hot water, till l
was wise enough to make Postum
Food Coffee my table beverage.
After the first two weeks l began
TO feel better and during the whole
winter I never lost a trip on my mail
route frequently being on the road Z
or & hours at a time. The constant
marvel to me was how a person could
do the amount of work and endure
the fatigue and hardship as | did. on
so small an amount of food. But l
found that l have continued them
using both Postum ana Grape-Nurs
at every meal, and often they COM
prise my entire meal. All my ner-
vousness. irritability and insomnia
have disappeared and healthy, natur-
a! sleep has come back to me.
But what has been perhaps the
greatest surprise to me is the fact
that with the benefit to my general
health has come a remarkable i'm
provement in my eye-sight.
"If a good appetite. good digestion,
good eyesight, strong nerves and an
active brain are to be desired. l can
say from my own experience that
Grape-Nuts and Postum will supply
them" Name given by Postum Co,
