known better times and eager guests.

Grated by a big new warehouse, Dr.

in cookery, and the guests had to rec

The Cause of Snorinq,

This is not for you, because you
never snCre. No one ever does snore
himself 1t is always the other fellow.
But you can read this and then tell
that guilty other fellow how to break
himself of his bad habit, for snoring
is merely a bad habit and as such
can be overcome. 1t Is caused pri-
marlly by improper breathing-that Is,
breathing through the mouth instead
Of through the nostrils-so, first of all,
care should be taken during waking
hours to breathe correctly. The habit
once formed Of keeping the mouth as
firmly closed as possible, he will be
less likely to sleep with it open. Then
see that your troublesome snorer has
a proper pillow. He should sleep with
his head as flat as possible, for if bis
head is pushed forward and the neck
bent the tongue drops back against
the soft palate and forms an obstruc-
ton which makes all the unmusital
sounds we hear when the air is forced
past it.-St. James Gazette.

Odessa, May 1 The European
wheat situation is regarded by COM
petent grain merchants here as being
most unfavorable.. The present prices
are the highest quoted in Russia for
decades past. The, provinces Of Bes-

The president of the grain bourse

st. Petersburg, May 1'.-.By the ar

Tsarskoe Selo and his subsequent con-

According to the details of this plot,
the existence Of which has been con-

of the court, suspicion was directed to
the soldier by the fact that he was
seen to have in his possession consid-
cradle sums of money. ....

THE GREATEST DANGER.

According to Mr.. Carnegie, the
very gravest of dangers that be-
set young men who aim at sue
cess is the use Of cigarettes. He
is certainly right in making his
declaration, especially when it
pertains to the young man or boy
in his teens. Cigarette smoking
begins in an effort to be smart.
1t soon becomes a pleasure to
him, satisfaction and serves to
bridge over a moment of nervous
en- barrassment. Next it be-
comes necessity of life, and
last fixed habit. The last stage
soon develops into a third condi-
ton, stage of fever and unrest.
fulness, wandering mind, accom-.
panied by loss of moral and men
tai condition and control.
Inevitably cigarette smoking
impairs health, lessons usefulness
and jeopardizes happiness, and
all this without compensation
worthy of the name. All smokers
are not affected this way, but it
goes without contradiction that
any smoker is better off if he
does not acquire the cigarette
habit.

LABOR IS PRIME NECESSITY
California Needs Thousands Of
Men and Women to Work

SAN FRANCISCO, Mch. 14.-Special
The great development which is go
ing on in San Francisco has resulted
in a most appreciate shortage of la
Dor throughout California, and from
all parts of the state there is an urg-
ent call for men and women, and for
teams. 1t is estimated that 1900
teams are at work in San Francisco,
and to supply this immense number
the towns of the state have been
drained to such an extent that the
shortage is considered serious.
From estimates made after careful
investigation of the situation by the
California promotion committee, it
will require several thousand teams
with drivers to meet the demand at
present. and as the season opens later
this demand will be greatly increased
Teams are paid from $3.50 to $3.50
day with drivers. in the interior, and
the demand seems to be greatest in
the great central valley of the state.
Labor shortage is also noted in all
agricultural districts, and it is estimat-
ed that employment will be ready for
many thousand men, during the fruit
and harvesting seasons the coming
summer. In all of the interior towns
and cities where there are small fac
tories there is an insistent demand
for female help, and investigation
shows that fully 10000 women and
girls can find immediate employment
at remunerat tive wages in California.
In many parts of California prepare
tons are already being made for en-
ployes to gather the various fruit
crops. In the lumber districts there
is especially a demand at present fol
men. and it is estimated that 10000 or
$4,000 can find employment at top
wages. Railroad building, which is
going on in all parts of the state, is
another source of great demand for
labor. and both men and teams are
wanted in large numbers. In several
places two roads are competing to such
an extent that they are bidding against
each other for men in all classes of
their work.
