DIET TO CURE sLEEPLEssNEss
Common Causes Of lnsomnia-Indi
gestion and Hunger.

DR.. William Stevens says that in
somnia is not a disease itself, but the
effect of an unhealthy condition of
body or mind. When the cause is re-
moved the insomnia may be expected
to disappear
Every physician has had stubborn
cases of it which would not yield to
any treatment and for which a change
OF air or Of scene became necessary.
But such cases as these should not
occur, anu do occur only when
the sufferer has neglected precautions
that should nave been taken when the
trouble first made itself manifest.
Insomnia results from causes which
can be removed if attended to in sea-
son. The most common cause is found
in the digestive organs Either insult
able food, causing insomnia as a fea-
ture 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 man will disagree with an
other. But two things that may al
most always be recommended are let
tuce and celery.

poor business and slow collections in

getting a chance at the new tobacco,

EDGERToN, Wis, Aug. %, 1908.
Information reaching US from the Yer
non county district where the buying
movement has been under way for the
past ten days, is that the first rush is
about over. Only few hundred acres
have been contracted for to date and the
prices SO we'll set up as to pretty effec-
lively block the movement. Not more
than 25 per cent. of the crop was desira-
BILE as field purchase anyway, and a
large proportion of the buyers have quit
the field for the present. There has
been one riding in the southern Sec
tions also during the week and we learn
few contracts made, generally under
10 cents for the wrapper and binder
grades.
The ice was broken on Albion Prairie
when the following crops were sold to L..
p. Sutter at prices ranging from s to 91&
cents for wrapper and binder and cents
for filler grades: Chas. Tall, u acres;
Frank Barton, 7 acres; Anthony Ander-
son, 51a acres; Fred MADISON, acres;
w. Fl. Condor, AZ acres.
The harvest is going forward but the
weather has been much too cool and dry
to bring about satisfactory ripening of
the later fields. Rain is badly needed
and if it should come within few days
would prove great help to the crop,
otherwise there is little hope for the late
tobacco.
Dealers report there is slightly bet
ter inquiry after cured stock, though no
large transactions have been closed that
we can learn of.
The shipments out of storage reach
500 cases from this market to all points
for the week.

the estimate may be realized, for the

NEW IOhhs aug. AZ, lCOOs
In the Water street pond there was an
unusual rush of fish this week. More
so than at last years season, but the
fish refused to bite. They nibbled at
the bait here and there but could not be
caught. The fact of the matter seems
to be that the bait thrown out was not
attractive enough for big haul The
Western buyers who crowded the leaf
market came chiefly for supply of New
England leaf. But last years Connecti-
cut Havana seed suffered probably more
than any other crop from the most un-
favorable growing season. It turned out
Indifferent in texture and quality and
almost wholly deficient in light wrap
pers. In consequence the seconds are
being held at a comparative high figure,
which the Westerners do not think COM
1patible with the yield. Hence there has
been so far deadlock between buyers
and sellers, except where good packirgs
we're offered and some such packings are
always to be found even in the average
poorest crop. One house is thus re-
ported to. have disposed of it's entire
packing consisting of about thousand
cases. The other types of last years
crops are not yet sampled, and, there
fore, no transactions in them could take
place. OF old desirable filler stock there
is not much in the market. 1906 Zim-
mers is nearly all cleaned out and the
1905 Pennsylvania commands a figure
which the buyers do not consider ex-
actly bargain. Nevertheless some of
the old filler stock is being taken. Nor
are to be recorded any notable trans
actions either in Havana and Sumatra
Altogether, therefore, market conditions
were rather Disappointing during the
week in spite of the large number of
out-of-town buyers who certainly were
expected to liven up business consider
ably in the market.-Journal.

The trade of local cigar manufactur-
ers, none too brisk, practically represent
ed last weeks business of the local pack
ers, so tar as the 1906 tobacco was con-
cerned. Prices on these goods have
stiffened some lately, and the manufact-
urers are not buying any more than they
need for immediate use. None of them
are stocking up on 1906 goods.
Everybody is looking expectantly for
ward to the trading in 1907 goods, which
are expected to help redeem some of the
losses the packers sustained in handling
the too high priced 1906 tobacco. As

This critical stage passed, the next thing
will be satisfactory curing.
All in all, the crop is fine both in

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The writer of this column has about
concluded he is not astute enough to
Shirlock Holmes the tobacco situation.
Two weeks ago we gave it as our opinion
that we did not think any of the large
operators would care to invest in the
new crop under the existing prospects
which were not the most promising. A
week later we were compelled to chroni-
Gle that buyers we're in full chase after
the new crop in the Vernon county dis
trict Sure, we were wrong. 1t doesn't
seem to make any difference whether
gold dollars sell for 80 cents on Water
street or whether '06 tobacco ready for
the manufacturers table could be had
cheaper than the new would cost when
carried for a similar time or whether
general business conditions warranted
taking a long chance on investments of
many contingencies. Even the smarts
and stings of the mistakes of 1906 we're
forgotten in the hurrah and excitement
Of wild scramble after new crop not
yet matured and very long time away
from delivery date. We simply can't
make our thinking machine diagnose
this tobacco case correctly. When the
buying microbe gets working, you can't
tell what will happen. It's no use to try.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1908-08-28

The best news that comes to us from
the infected districts is that the farmers
are taking hand in squelching this
foolish chase after the new crop. Every
promising tobacco field has from six to
ten buyers visiting it daily. Every one
is politely told by the grower that he has
nothing to sell at this time but to come
around after the crop is cured and he
would talk to him. There seems to be a
general understanding to let the buyers
chase their heads off if they want to and
when they are tired of it they will quit
the field. Good idea, push it along.

Tobacco company in many sections has

The above dispatch is quoted to illus
trate how utterly futile it is for any or
ganization of producers to attempt to
dictate the price at which their COM
modify must be sold. With nearly two
crops of Burley tobacco pooled in the
Society of Equity warehouses and held
at price higher than the manufactur-
ers can afford to pay, and the A. T. Co.,
their only prospective market, with
drawing from the state, what else but
failure faces the movement? If the big
trust won't buy their tobacco, who will?
Many of the independent manufacturers
have closed down because the price de-
manded by the Equity pool does not
permit of any profit in manufacturing
Even the trust claims it is not pushing
the sales of their plug brands, though
with large stock of cheap Wisconsin
on hand, which very naturally might be
substituted in a pinch for the higher
priced Burley, it can pull their buyers
out of Kentucky and leave the growers
OF that state to consume their tobacco at
their leisure. Is there anything in this
picture that looks like helping similar
movement in this state?
FkF
The experiment in some Connecticut
towns. notably Warehouse Point, where
lower leaves are cut separately, is being
followed with much interest. The plan
provides for picking off the lower leaves
and, after stringing them on wire, of
hanging them in the sheds. This in not
fad, but is proving its value, for the
lower leaves, owing to their greater age,
often furnish poor quality OF tobacco,
because they are subject to a treatment
which is not adapted to them, though it
may be successful with the younger
leaves nearer the top of the stalk. This
lack of uniformity in the leaves in re-
spending to one treatment has often re-
suited in the loss of 500 pounds to the
acre If these leaves can be saved by
giving them an earlier cure and one
more suited to their demands, which, of
course, still remains to be studied more
thoroughly, it is believed that the meas
ure will prove one of great economy.
The yield has already been shown to be
more per acre. and, moreover this first
plucking seems to entirely escape the
dreaded pole sweat.-N. e. Homestead.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1908-08-28

A week of cool, dry weather when the
temperature nights dropped close to the
freezing point has not matured and
ripened the growing crop as was hoped
for: The leaf is not getting the spread
it ought nor are the fields ripening fast
enough to allow the harvest to proceed.
The crop needs rain followed by warm
weather to make good leaf and must
have it to produce anything like an aver
age yield. Light frosts, too are reported
in some of the more northerly growing
districts as result of the cold wove but
the present danger is now passed.
