THE SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MEANS DEATH

How many readers have heard OF this
terrible disease? 1t prevails in that
faf1away countFy-Africa-- especially
the Congo district. It is caused by
the bite Of the tsetse fly. When II
bites a person, the sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful.
balmy sleep Of health. Is there any
thing more wearing than to lie awake
at night, tossing about. nervous, with
cold feet hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short Of letting the tsetse
fly bite us we would do almost any
thing for relief. How can we pre-
vent it7 Mr.. George Hayes, OF
Union City. Pa. writes; 81 had lost
my appetite. was sll rundown, could
not sleep nights. l had tried every
thing without relief. vinol was rec
commended. and to my surprise, II
helped me at once; gave me a splendid
appetite, and now I sleep soundIy."
What vinol did for Mr.. Hayes, II win
do for every rundown, nervous ana
overworked person who cannot sleep.

The latest freak to put In an ap-

to be a cereal sport, tracing back to
the original type Of corn from which
present types were developed. in which

AGRICULTURAL SHORT COURSES

The practical and valuable work Of

Of short courses OF instruction IN agri.

tic economy which are being held In
the larger towns throughout the sew

a week, are thoroughly advertised.

where held have paid financially
The Inauguration OF these movable
short course schools has placed the
benefit of the instruction given at the
agricultural college, II but for short
period, within the reach Of very
large number Of people, who are thus
able to derive the benefits Of instruc.
tion In these various lines without the
expense which would be incident TO a

President Roosevelt is entitled to
much credit for a definite attempt TO
put his policy Of conservation Of nat.
ural resources into effect by Issuing
an order Withdrawing from entry. Sc
lection or location all public lands In
Wyoming. Idaho and Montana believed
to contain phosphate rock pending nc
tion by congress. Phosphorus is one
OF the fertilizlng elements OF the soil
which once removed cannot be re-
stored except through the application
Of manures, and chiefly artificial ferti-
llzers. Since foreign countries are be-
ginning to draw largely on our phos.
phate supplies 1t has been thought by
those who have given the subject at
tention that these phosphate beds
should be placed In direct control Of
the national government and not al
lowed to come into the hands Of pri.
vate and greedy parties who will ex.
ploit and deplete them for selfish ends.
Estimates based on Investigations
which have been conducted by the
Wisconsin experiment station are to
the effect that during the last half cen.
fury one-third Of the original phos-
phorus Of the soil has been dissipated
and lost in the continuous cropping to
which the agricultural lands of the
country have been subjected. II the
loss In question has been one-half Of
the estimate, the amount would be
100,000.000 tons Of phosphoric oxide.
equal to 300.0OO,0O0 tons Of phosphor-
as. In view Of these figures, any move.
ment looking to conservation Of these
immense mineral stores of phosphorus
should be cordially supported by those
who have concern for the agricultur,
