INCIDENTAL INSOMNIA.
Sleep May Be Wooed by Taking a
Series of Deep Inspir-
atoms.

1t commonly happens that persons
otherwise apparently in good health
ind difficulty in sleeping without a
break, their nights rest being inter
rupted by turns of wakefulness after
falling asleep for an hour or two they
awaken-a modified or incidental in
somnia takes the place of normal re-
pose, says correspondent of the Lon
don Lancet. l believe, and | suggest,
that this may be due to a disturbance
Of the equilibrium Of the cerebral cir
culation. The cause Of the disturbance
may be various. l do not propose to
enter into the question of cause, but
have in many instances successfully
counteracted the result by forced in
spiratory movements by assisting and
encouraging the return flow of blood to
the heart; by rapid and thorough ex
pansion of the chest cavity, by the
vacuity produced, the blood in the
great veins of the neck and upper thor
AK is sucked in and fastened ON to it's
ultimate destination.
The large serrati muscles (costo-
scapulares) are more especially called
On for this duty. The serratus, by it's
hindermost attchment to the pos
terror border of the scapula, as
muscle of extraordinary" inspiration,
requires for its action in this ca
pacity that the sCapula should be
steadily and firmly held to the spine
by the muscles allocated to this end
in other words, by the shoulders be-
Ing vigorously held backward. The
deep breathing thus carried out for
B, IL or Is inspirations usually suf-
fees to induce the wished for somno-
fence. Anyway, it is an experiment
easily tried and without risk.
The influence of respiratory move
nents is demonstrated by the effect Of
a prolonged and forced exploratory ac-
ton. The impediment to the return
flow OF blood is easily to be observed
when a vocalist with an uncovered
neck is singing a long-sustained high
note; the external jugular veins will
oe seen in their course across the
sterno- mastoid muscle in a state Of
extreme distension, accompanied by
congestion of the veins OF the head
and face, indicating hindrance to the
blood current toward the heart.

JAPANESE ARMY Suffers.
The Canteeu Follows Closely in the
Wake of the Moving
Troops.


One who was with the Japanese
army in Manchuria for six months
says: odd foreign campaigners re-
marked in the field that no army prob.
ably ever had so many canteens in its
wake. When the army was not
marching there was always canteen
or two not far to the rear of every
division. When 1t settled down to
recuperate after battle canteens
were quickly established In Manchu
houses. These carried cigarettes,
writing paper, postcards, beer imita.
ton brandy, imitation whisky, imita.
ton port, imitation sherry, sake and
sometimes Manila cigars.
Japanese are keen traders. Not
200 feet back of the Nanshan battery
one day in the seven-day battle of the
Shaho there was a Japanese peddler
selling cigarettes, Chinese sweetcakes,
rice and beer to the reserves. During
the same battle the canteens were
never more than three miles back of
the front line of trenches.
AS the Japanese soldiers pay is
only $1.36 a month and the army saw
ing banks had considering that,
phenomenal deposits. there was not
much spending money in the army.
A bottle of beer cost ten cents and a
packet of cigarettes about three
cents.
Whenever there was triing bat
tie the commander-in-chief would or
der sake distributed as ration On
the mikado's birthday year ago one
extra double packet of cigarettes was
distributed to each man in the field
This cost the emperor more than $751;
600. Otherwise when the distribution
was possible ten cigarettes day went
with the regular ration.
"One day in an American periodical
received at camp there was solemn
poem celebrating the abstinence OF
the Japanese from drink
This caused concern among the
Japanese officers, who disliked the
emphasis laid upon the difference be-
| tween their army and European
army and the commissary general
told the foreign observers:
"'Our soldiers like drink as well as
any other soldiers. Sometimes they
need it when they cannot get 1t and
we send it to them in the trenches.
AS a matter of fact, though the peas
ant at home has a hard enough time
to supply himself with food, he is not
more averse than other people tc
strong liquor once he learns the taste
of it. Many man will go home from
the campaign with tastes he never
had before. The manufacture of bee
is still young industry in Japan, bu
from the time the process was import
ed it has grown to enormous proper
lions. Headquarters, even battalion
headquarters in underground bonn
proof trenches, were always supplies
with beer or sweet wine. Marsha
Oyama liked sweet champagne. Tn
strategist of the war, Gen. Kodemf
drank claret with every meal"

INFLUENCE OF GREAT MUSIC
It Can Move More Profoundly Than
Any Of Natures Great
Voices.

Great music is a psychical storm,
agitating to unimaginable depth the
mystery of the past within us, says
Lafcadio Hearn. Or we might say 1t
is a produgious incarnation, every diff
ferent instrument and voice making
separate appeal to different billions OF
prenatal memories. There are tones
that call up all the ghosts of youth
and joy and tendencies-there are
tones that evoke all phantom pain OF
persisted passion-there are tones that
resurrect all dead sensations of ma
jesty and might and glory-all expired
eXultations-all forgotten magnanimi-
ties. Well, may the influence of music
seem ineXplicable to the man who idly
dreams that his life began less than
a hundred years ago! But the mystery
lightens for whomsoever learns that
the substance of self is older than the
sun. He finds that music is NEGRO
NANCY; he feels that to every ripple Of
melody, to every billow of harmony,
there answers within him out of the
Sea of Death and Birth some eddying
unreasonable of ancient pleasure and
pain.
Pleasure and pain: they commingle
always in great music, and therefore
it is that music can move us more pro-
foundry than the voice of ocean or
than any other voice can do. But in
music's larger utterance, it is ever
the sorrow that makes the undertone,
Al.
Strange to think how vast the
sum of joy and woe that must have
been experienced before the sense of
music could evolve in the brain of
man!

Three FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

FrRsT.-Thnt almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms MS backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements
of the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation in the stomach,
bearing down pains, nervousness, dig
ziness and sleeplessness.
SECOND. --The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number OF
absolute cures of female ills Is Lydia
Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years 1t has been helping
women to be strong, curing baclxache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, inflam>
nation of the female organs. weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
TurRD.--The great volume of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the PinlSham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
Il. PinlSham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. PinI<ham's Standing Invitation
to Women.--Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinlxham Is daughter
in-law of Lydia Il. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been ad-
vising sick womenfree of charge. Outof
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, isvery foolish If she doesnot take
advantage of this generous offer OF
assistance.

ing good indications of ore, because of
defective title. Later tide defect
was remedied and active work begun
1t consists of about eighty acres of
iron formation with an ore trend OF a
quarter of mile with we'll defined
walls. The same formation also ex-
tends across White Iron Lake where
Cyrille FOrtier and others have been
exploring recently with excellent re-
suits.
Five drill holes have been sunk on
the property by the company on
most economical basis. The depths
OF the holes were respectively, 1,161,
1,l21, AIS and 1885 feet. All of the
holes put down showed ore at various
depths. The holes were sunk at an
angle of go degrees and were figured
TO cut the formation most favorably.
About SIS, 900 has been expended for
drill work and $1,000 for drill equip
ment as already mentioned. The
sinking or the shaft has entailed con-
siderable more expenditures. Mach
inery in the shape of hosting engine.
pump, boilers, etc., have been INSTALL
ed. The machinery was put in by
the Northwestern Machine Works of
Superior. Suitable, engine. boiler
and shaft houses have also been erect
ed. 1t is figured by those in position
to know that the expenditures have
been warranted by the showing made.
Drill holes, when the deposit has
been struck, do not usually lie and on
the strength of the showings made by
the drill, 0he shaft was begun. The
last hole showed 100 feet of ore at the
bottom with thicknesses of several
feet in the course of sinking. The
shaft being put down is 7 x IA, large
enough for working shaft. The
same is being heavily timbered and
most substantially built and in every
way has the appearance OF perman-
ent working shaft. With the new
machinery, the work of sinking the
shaft will be pushed and it is expected
that by spring a considerable depth
will have been attained. According
to the drill records the ore should be
encountered in a large body at depth
of 300 feet in the shaft with smaller
layers all the way down. By spring it
is presumed a considerable amount
will be on stock. The formation here
has decided dip as the ore body was
reached in hole near there at
depth of 600 feet.
Should the White Iron people dev-
elop a mine by next spring or summer,
as per anticipation, it would prove Of
untold benefit to this city and the
Vermilion range. Considerable prop
erty with excellent showing Is contin-
gent to the property owned by the
company and the formation has been
traced for miles. While there is no
particular rush on the Vermilion
range, things are moving with clock
like regularity. The great mines Of
this city are in full motion and these
coupled with the large amount of ex-
ploratory work being done, gives the
range quite lively appearance.
