Republicans have spent nearly
seven years insplacing the sweet

Roosevelt's reputation and ap-

not true to their magnetic leader.
They should help pull the cookie

DIET FOR SLEEPLESSNESS
Common Causes of Insomnia
Indigestion and Hunger.
London Globe,

1NiAN'AA N4O'O'
DR.. William Stevens says rrthat
insomnia is not disease itself,
but the effect of an unhealthy
condition of body or mind. When
the cause is removed the insomnia
may be expected to disappear.
Every physician has had stub
born cases Of it which would not
yield to any treatment and for
which a change Of air or of scene
became necessary. But such as
these should not occur, and do
occur only when the sufferer has
neglected precautions that should
have been taken when the trouble
first made itself manifest.
Insomnia results from causes
which can be removed if attended
to in season. The most common
cause is found in the digestive
organs. Either unsuitable food,
causing insomnia as a feature OF
indigestion, or insufficient food,
causing the patient to be kept
awake by hunger.
There are few things which
can be universally recommended
as diet for sleeplessness, since
what will agree with one mar
will disagree with another. Bu
two things that may almost al
ways be recommended are lettuce
and celery.

A Prize Which all Colleges
Should Offer.


At Bryn Mawr College, Penn
sylvania, the other day a prize
was awarded to the member of
the senior class who showed
Throughout her four years in
college to the highest degree the
qualities of joyousness, high
courage, fortitude and faithful
ness" There are no traits of
WomanhOod more attractive and
more necessary to the happiness
of the home than those traits for
which this prize was given at
Bryn Mawr. The prize is to be
awarded annually, in honor of the
memory Of Mary Helene Richie,
for five years secretary of the
college, and who was distinguish
ed for the qualities to which the
prize is dedicated. The merry
heart goes all the day, while the
sad one tires in a mile: and moth
ing can more effectually tighten
the burdens of this life than JOY
BUSINESS and cheerfulness; moth
ing can support those who suffer
from adversely like high courage
and fortitude, nothing can inspire
trust and confidence so much as
faithfulness. The woman who is
cheerful as she performs the
homely duties of the home; who
receives her husband or brother
or son with a smile when he en-
ters the house; who has a word
of comfort when he is in trouble
or a word Of courage and hope
when he is despondent is gem
of purest ray serene. The home
where sucha womenpresides is the
dwelling place of happiness, anC
fortunate indeed is the man whC
has such d home. While these
qualities are largely Temperament
tai and the gift of nature, it il
certain that they can be cultivat
ed and encouraged. The habit G.
dependency is a habit which cal
grow by indulgence. The habi
; of cheerfulness and hopefulness
the quality of joyousness anC
courage can be cultivated, ant
the method adopted by Bryl
Mawr College of emphasizing it
importance by offering a specia

these farms DR.. B. W. Kilgore,
State Chemist and Director OF
the stations, is carrying on num-
erous fertilizer experiments and
also variety tests of cotton, corn
and other crops in order to ascer-
tain what is the best fertilizer
for each soil and what variety is
best suited to each soil. He
knows what soil type he is exper-

the soils Of Robson mapped he
will be able to give out valuable
information to the farmers Of

of soil.
The amount Of money annually;
invested in fertilizers by the
farmers Of this country is up
wardof $1OO,OOO,OOO. Perhaps a
third Of this money is annually
wasted and brings no adequate
returns, owing to the fact that
the majority Of the farmers do
not understand the soil require
ments for just the proper kind of
fertilizer and go ahead buying
most any brand and applying it
to the land without due regard
for the needs Of that particular
soil. The soil survey is the basis
for the study of the adaptation of
soils to crops. Anyone who has
any practical experience knows
that not all soils are equally suited
to all crops, and that more or less

WOMEN IN OFFICIAL LIFE.
Result of Elections in Bohemia
and Norway Swedish Police
women.
New York Sun.


The progress of women in
official life in Europe is slow,
but it cannot be. doubted that
progress is being made.
Within the last few weeks
women appeared for the first
time as candidates for election to
the Bohemian Diet. It had been
demonstrated as a legal prop
:osition that if they fulfilled the
other requirements their sex was
no bar to their election.
So far their candidacy stands
merely as a demonstration
Two women received votes of
some importance. One Maria
Jumore, who ran in the district
of Hohenmauth, had LA votes,
while the man who won had
592. In Prague the Social Dem
ocrats made a woman, Miss
Macheva, their candidate. She
polled about 20 per cent. of the
total vote.
The women suffragists of Nor
way were disappointed at the
outcome of the local election in
Christiania. In all the other
parts of the country they elected
important delegations to the
commercial councils. In the
capital only five women were
chosen in a total of "a city coun-
cilors. There is an active agita-
ton going on all over the coun-
try to bring the wonderland
voters of Christiania to &
different frame of mind.
Of advances made where the
suffrage was not involved the
appointment of three womer
policemen in Stockholm is an in
stance. The authorities have
determined to experiment with
them. They are to have salaries
of l, 800 kronen, or about $500 ;
year, to begin with.
