Aids for the Sleepless

Insomnia is occasioned by lack of
food rather than by overeating. Many
eases of insomnia have been cured by
taking upon retiring a glass of milk
and a biscuit, slice of bread and but
ter, or some other light refreshment,
such as has been found to agree with
one.
First of all sleep in a room with
plenty of fresh air. Avoid tea and
coffee at night, and food that is rich
and indigestible.
For the insomnia of brain activity,
when the thoughts become uncontrol-
liable III their persistence, it is well to
get up and abandon attempting to
sleep for a time. A hot bath is ex-
cellent for that kind of sleeplessness,
as it helps to distribute the blood in
the body. A foot bath is also good
for the same reason.
A simple and sometimes very effee-
tive remedy is a cold compress placed
on the forehead, bringing the ends
well down behind the ears, where the
large blood vessels which carry the
blood to the head are situated
The cloth will keep cool longer and
be more effective if some cologne is
sprinkled upon it. The habit of wake
fulness may have been acquired by
some of the causes which have been
mentioned, and the idea takes posses
sion of the would-be sleeper that he
can not get to sleep that the power OF
sleeping has left him. This alone will
prevent sleep.
1t can be best met with calm con
sideration of the subject. 1t is not
such a dreadful matter after all if one
loses sleep. Regular and prolonged
sleep is not so essential to health a.

sleep is not half So bad for the system
as the worry that one INDUCES in be
cause of it. 1t seems heartless and un
sympathetic often to say this to a per
son melancholy because of lack o.
sleep.

MAN WANTS BUT
LITTLE HERE BELOW

If man of seventy years was starv-
ing, it would probably be little comfort
to him to think that he had consumed
in the course of his life fifty three and
three quarter tons of solid food and
fortytwo and three-quarter tons of
liquid, or about 1880 times his own
weight in both solids and liquids, but
it would be true.
Being man of average appetite and
purse, he would have eaten fifteen tons
of bread, which would have made sim
gle loaf containing 1900 cubic feet and
appearing about as large as the aver
he would have spread one ton of but
ter. If his bacon had been cut in a
single slice, says Harper S Weekly, the
strip would have been four miles long
| and his chops placed end to end would
have extended two miles
Twenty ordinary sized bullocks have
supplied him with beef, eighteen tens
of which he has eaten, along with five
tons of fish and 10000 eggs and $50
pounds of cheese. If he had elected
to have all his vegetables served at
once they would have come to him in
train of ears, the pod containing all
his peas being over three miles long.
He has had 5000 pounds of sugar,
5000 pounds of salt, s pounds of pep
per and 100 cans of mustard. Three
plnts of liquid a day would have
amounted to $4,000 pints, or forty-two
and three-quarter tons. If he had been
smoker, he would have burned about
half a ton of tobacco in a pipe or if
he preferred cigarettes he would have
smoked about 100000.

The HARVEST TIME

August is time when the demand for men in
the Inland Empire always exceeds the supply.
One great cause for the shortage of men is the
harvest. Lured by the better prices, the men
leave the woods and the construction camps for
the harvest fields. The desire for change of
occupation also has great deal to do with move
ments of the laborers.
Experts for the exporting houses in Seattle,
Tacoma and Portland, grain buyers for the milling
concerns in the Sound cities and on the Columbia
river and trained representatives of the state
commissions have combed the wheat growing
areas as with a fine-tooth comb and have boiled
and re-boiled their estimates until they claim it
is practically certain that the yield of wheat in
the three states will slightly over 6O,OOOOO0
bushels
A general report crop conditions in Oregon,
Washington and Idaho is being prepared by A f.
Hit field representative of the United Depart
ment of Agriculture for the three Northwestern
states. Mr.. Hit believes the earlier estimate of
600 bushels for the wheat crop of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho too large.
A Chicago authority publishes an estimate for
the country of 735 900 bushels of wheat, about
the same as the crop harvested in 1906 the second
largest yet harvested, that of 1901 of 748,OOOOOO
being the record crop.
A London authority placed the worlds visible
supply of wheat on June 1 at 11,275,OOO quarters
6 bushels each), the lowest figures reached since
1897 and 100000 quarters less than one year pre-
vious. This places the market in good condition
to promote an active demand for wheat at good
prices.

of the conservation policy or for any other reason
that might be alleged. The incident affords an

Administrations Merely because the Taft Admin
istration is committed to moving strictly within
the boundaries of the law, it is a safe prediction
that five years from now more power sites Will
have been saved to the people, more substantial
progress made in conserving the natural re-
sources than was to be honestly expected from
the slap-dash practice of overstepplng the law TO
which Mr.. Roosevelt habitually resorted.
The Oregonian expresses this sentiment: ''The
fight between Ballinger and Pinchot is a conflict
between rival interpretations of the laW-the one
conservative the other radical. This
plausible version of the law, the functions OF the
public domain and the privileges OF the present
generation does very we'll within certain bounds.
But it can easily go too far; its method depends
on personal opinion which is variable quantity;
it is something that strict rules OF justice and
political safety do not allow There are hundreds
of persons in Oregon today-yeS, thousands
whose valid claims to lands have been Jeopard1zed
by this policy, their applications denied or their
patent withheld cancelled All this is the re-
suit of the Pinchot method of administering the
statutes 1t is not strict application OF the law,
else the claimants would safely have had their
land long ago.
course between the old regime, where fraud and
greed were rampant, and the P1nchot policy,
which, while being useful to the country, has done
much injustice. Mr. Ball1nger has made PLAIN
that in this reaction the designs of land and
water grabbers will be resisted by the Govern
ment The middle course which Ballinger is pur-
suing is the rational one in this matter. The
Pinchot faction will gain nothing from charges
of dishonesty and corruption. If Pinchot desires
to continue being useful to the Government, his
friends will have to cease this talk, and he will
have to fall in with the Governments policy"
The Trans-Mississippi Congress at Denver
adopted a resolution calling upon Congress to

AUGUST.

Welcome, month of the bursting crops,
OF the glowing and the rich, ripe fruit,
Month of the starit, languorous nights,
With their airs soft lovers lutte,
Where bursting life calms to quiet JOY
When rest and living both atune
Welcome, days of earths rich rewards,
Month of the harvest
From your hayfelds come up the strong, sweet
smells,
Filling the lazy, ambient air
With a droWSy of perfect peace
And the soils fresh, subtle perfume
When the toll summer is ending fast
Bringing along the crops full boon
Then does your golden glory shine,
Month of the harvest moon.
Reigning queen of the summer time
The golden grain in your Sceptered hand,
The garnered labor of all the year
Springing to wealth at your command,
Come with your blessings and mirth and cheer
Your glowing flowers and birds soft Groom,
With the lads and lasses merry dance,
Month of the harvest moon.

century of agitation and legislation. According
of Labor of the United States Government, the
representatives of the Knights of Labor, then or
ganized in secret but not publicly known held
meeting in New York City, September 5, 1882, and
celebrated it. by a parade of laboring men. Fol-
lowing this example, the Unions of New York held
another parade the following year, 1883, on the
first Monday of September
But it during the next year, 1884, that the

when the question of a parade came up in the
Central Labor Union, George K Lloyd of the
Knights of Labor offered resolution declaring

was adopted, and now that date is widely recog-
nized as sacred to the interests of Labor.

met at Puyallup. There are $50 of these useful
citizens, and they formulated their desire for
some changes in their conditions. They ask for
a holiday on Christmas which they ought to have;
a 30-day vacation instead of 49,. an increase of
salary to offset horse and carriage maintenance;
better roads in the rural districts; parcels post
with maximum weight of Is pounds. All good
Changers can cheerfully support the two last

he was unable to resume play until
this spring. This year he escaped
injury in the Cornell game, and

was credited with, but upon two

over the goal line. Once he was
called back for holding in the line,
and again for tripping in the line.

Sullivan was heart-broken, but

things. And he did. His work for
the next few days was a revelation,
and when the day for the first of
