Cause of Car slekness.

W c. Wood attributes car sickness
 to the nystagmus produced by looking
 out of the car windows. Look out of
 car window arAd observe how
 rapidly the telegraph poles fit by. Each one is seen and involuntarily fol lowed by the eye until it is opposite,
 when the eye shifts to the one follow
 ing. This Is true of near buildings. Objects farther away seem to move
 slower, and those very far of seem fo
 be almost stationary until the whole
 landscape appears to be revolving
 round common center. The un- conscious effort to take in everything
 produces rapid lateral oscillation of
 the eycballs. as any one can observe
 by watching the eyes of his fellow passengers. The eye strain is enor- nous and is the chief factor in pro ducing car sickness. This can be proved by asking \ patient who is subject to car sickness to look steadily at a mirror which is moved rapidly to and fro or tilted backward and forward He will immediately com plain of nausea and vertigo. The treatment consists of advising the
 patient to avoid looking out of the car
 windows and in giving him grain Of citrated caffeine shortly before he
 takes the cars and repeating 1t every
 hour as long as there Is any tendency
 to be sick. The author has been en-
 abled by this procedure to relieve
 many sufferers from car sickness New York Medical Journal.

How He Knew.

A ragman who was gathering up wornout clothing in the country pur- chased a pair of discarded trousers at a farmhouse and remarked to the man of the house as he paid for the stufY he had bought:

 Guess you are right" said the dis coura ged looking farmer, but will you tell me how the Sam Hill you found that outy'
 Easy enough said the cheerful ragman as he settled back on the seat of his peddling wagon. "I notice that these old pants are completely played out, so far as the part of 'em you sat down on is concerned, but they show mighty little wear anywhere else"- Exchange.

YUMAs NUMBER SIX HUNDRED

Taking the census of the Yuma In dians. preparatory to allotting them five acres each in the Yuma Indian Reservation, in Imperial county, is progressing slowly, under the super vision of D. D. Graham. It is esti- mated that the Yumas number 600, and this would give them an allot- ment of 5000 acres of the 17,OOO\acres contained in the reserve. The h. dians are to have first choice of these lands. S. M. Brosius, agent for the Indian Rights Association Bureau, has been in conference with the head men of the tribe, and has endorsed their plea for an allotment of ten acres each, instead of five acres as planned, but it is doubtful that this change will be made. An agreement for a five-acre allotment was made between the head men of the Yumas and commissioners of the govern ment in 1904.

COTTON pICKING CONTRACTED
Frank Valley to Set Corps of Thirty Men at Work on Fields of ]. R. Loftus at Meloland This
 Month

Experienced cotton pickers will soon be at work in the Imperial Valley cot ton fields, garnering in the first com mercial crop of this staple article of agriculture.
 By September 20 Frank Valley will have a corps of thirty Mexican pick CTS employed on the Loftus ranch at Meloland. Last week a contract was made between Loftus and Valley whereby the latter is to take charge of the cotton picking on this ranch, and rate of eighty cents per 100 pounds Is paid for the work. This will amount to SIP per bale of lint cotton, leaving d margin of $4S per bale after the cost of picking is deducted, at the present market rates.
 It is estimated that the seed will bring at least $15 per ton, and that the prospect is good for profitable crop the first season here.
 The cantaloupe packing shed east of the Southern Pacific railroad has been secured to house the gin and compress, and the machinery is due to arrive in Fl Centro next week.
 MT. Loftus has sent letters to the growers of this valley, seeking to ar range meeting on September H. He says in these letters:
 MT. Emery of the California Cot ton Mills has recently been with the writer in Imperial Valley, and is we'll pleased with the quality of cotton. He expresses the opinion that if it is prop erly picked and ginned it will grade a strict 'middling', which in today's market is worth better than. .12 and a half cents per pound, and this grade purchased now for delivery in Novem- Der, December and January, is worth better than 12 and a third cents. a meeting of the growers of the val a meeting of the growers of the val ley, on Saturday. Sept. 11th at 2:30 D. m. at the Fl Centro Opera House. and I trust you will at once sign and return the enclosed postal card to this office, with the questions answered, winch are: If you can attend this meeting? What number of acres you have planted? The number of pounds of seed cotton and the number of Da.es of lint cotton you expect to pick.
 q have arranged for 30 pickers on our Meloland place, at soc per 100 pounds. From present indications I do not think we will have any trouble in securing all the pickers necessary at this price
 "A rate has been secured to Oakland on uncompressed bales, of 65 per 100 pounds, and to Los Angeles on uncompressed bales of 50 per 100 pounds We are now endeavoring to secure rate on uncompressed bales to Texas points, which will be about S1.20 per 100 pounds.

TOLEDO POLICEMEN CARRY NO CLUBS{ GOLDEN

TOLEDO, O., April 20s-Police-
men without clubs.
No, this isn't in Arcadia, nor
heaven. It's in Toledo, o.
1t isn't that Toledo doesn't have
any crooks or bad men. Police
officers over the country would
deny this. AS would those in To-
ledo. They have four-horsepower
billies and self-cocking cannons in
hip pockets for such as these.
But the good citizens see only
the immaculate, unarmed guard
ian, in white gloves and spotless
trousers. II the good citizen goes
wrong or drinks one highball too
many, he knows that the police
man is his friend, and goes with
him gladly.
Used to be in Toledo like every
where else, that they carried the
clubs. They used to beat up pris-
oners with them on the street,
and sometimes impetuous citizens
who rolled up their sleeves and
waded in at the sight of blood.
But now
If prisoner is mean enough
to talk back when the uniformed
Beau Brummels tap them on the
wrist and say come along" the
citizens are ready to lend a hand
to the police.
Toledo police are the special
guardians of women and children,
helping them across crowded
corners. They make friends with
the men on their beat. No longer
is the twirling stick in sight to
provoke an offender to resist.
Sam Jones, now dead, the
