According to teiegraphic communica- tions from Washington last night, the appointments of Ernest W. Lewis and Edward M. Doe as associate justices to the supreme court of Arizona, have been confirmed by the senate.
 With the local court calendar crowd cd with cases ready for trial, the news that the appointment of MT. Lewis as judge of the district court in. Gila and Graham counties will be gratefully re- ceived.

 The new judge will call a session of the grand jury within the next few days, as that body has number of matters to take up.

George Smalley will probably be appointed to the former position, al though others are making a play for the position. According to a letter re- ceived short time ago, E. B. Van Veen will continue in his present posi- ton of court reporter.

GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO, May lS.--Wheat display. ed strength during the first half day and prices advanced more than one cent above the previous close. May rose to l.30, which is 3-4c above the previous best market for the sason. During the final half hor sentiment be- camo bearish and prices feeeded lSs to l-2 to S1-4 from the high point of the day. July appeared greatly con gested during the early trading. A leading elevator concern was an active bidder for that option and total pur- chases credited to that interest were estimated at one million bushels.
 In addition to these influences, the market derived strength from an ad- vance of 1-2 to Is pence in Liver pool, due to the unfavorable crop re- ports from Russia, Germany and Hun gary. The range for July during tho day was between 113 3-S and l15 5-S. The close was weak at almost the bot tom, with July l145s and May l28 IA.
 The strength of wheat and active de- mand for July delivery by cash inter ests caused bullish sentiment in the corn market early. in the day, but in the final hour the market lost much of it's buoyancy. July delivery sold be tween 6s 1-4 and 6s 3-4 to 6s 7.S. The close was steady at prices Is lower to S-s higher than the close yesterday, July being 6S l.2.

Laughing is barking, say the sci
entists. The neck and head are
thrown back while a series of short
banks are emitted from the throat.
However musical the barks may be,
they are barks The laugh begins
with a sudden and violent contraction
of the muscles of the chest and alb
domen. But instead Of opening to let
the air pass out of the lungs, the vocal
cords approach each other and hold it
back. But they are not strong enough
to exercise such opposition for more
than an instant, and the air, which is
under pressure, promptly escapes. As
it does so it makes the vocal cords vi
brate producing the bark
This obstruction and liberation OF
the air expelled from the lungs repeats
itself again and again at intervals of a
quarter of a second. There are thus
in a hearty laugh four banks a second,
and if continued, they 60 on at that
rate as long as the air reserve in the
lungs holds out The empty lungs
must then fill themselves, and this in
terval is marked by a quick gasp for
breath, after which the banks are re-
newed The barks occur in series
with gasps for breath at intervals.
When laughter is violent, the entire
body participates. The upper part OF
the trunk bends and straightens itself
alternately or sways to right and left

ON FOOD
The Right Foundation Of Health.

Proper food is the foundation of
health. People can eat improper food
for a time until there is a sudden col
lapse of the digestive organs. then all
kinds of trouble follows.
The proper way out of the difficulty
is to shift to the pure, scientific food,
Grape-Nuts, for it rebuilds from the
foundation up. A New Hampshire
woman says:
Last summer / was suddenly taken
with indigestion and severe stomach
trouble and could not eat food with
out great pain, my stomach was so
sore 1 could hardly move about. This
kept up until 1 was so miserable life
was not worth living.
"Then a friend finally, after much
argument, induced me to quit my for
mer diet and try Grape-Nuts.
Although 1 had but little faith
commenced to use it, and great was
my surprise to find that I could eat
it without the usual pain and distress
in my stomach.
$50 I kept on using Grape-Nuts and
soon a marked Improvement was
shown. for my stomach was perform
ing its regular work in a normal way
without pain or distress.
Very soon the yellow coating disap-
peared from my tongue, the dull.
heavy feeling in my head disappeared,
and my mind felt light and clear; the
languid, tired feeling left, and alto
gether felt as if had been rebuilt.
Strength and weight came back rapid
" and 1 went back to my work with
renewed ambition.
To-day l am new woman in mind
as well as body. and owe it all to
this natural food, Grape-Nuts.'
