SLEEP WELL AND BE HEALTHY.
Lack of Rest Responsible for Most of
the Ills of Mankind.

Lack of sleep is responsible for
half the ill-health and the fashionable
nervous ailments of the present day.
Most people are too busy to sleep.
They work or play or rush after pleas
ure when they ought to be in bed.
The working woman is as great an
offender as her fashionable sister.
Keen on her work, over-anMous about
the future, she is too apt to neglect
her health in the present. She may
overwork and undersleep for time,
but insomnia is inevitable, in the case
of the highly-strung, nervous type of
woman, at least.
She begins by sleeping badly, by
worrying over little things when she
goes to bed at night; very soon the
habit of insomnia is established, and
it may persist for months or years if
neglected in the early stages.
Business men also are sufferers
from nervousness and insomnia.
So, if you are beginning to steep

turned to Austria-Hungary, having lost

is the Oldest of European sovereigns.
He is IS years old, and he has reigned
for 81 years. And it is fairly certain
that the emperor's desire for peace
and his anxiety to see a quiet sunset
of a reign that had such a cyclonic
sunrise in 184S has had much to do
with Austria's recent concession to
Turkey.
There are critics who trace the orr
gin of the present European trouble
mainly 10 the aspirations of Francis
Joseph's heir, the Archduke Franz
Ferdinand, whose aim is believed to
be partly Federalist-the change of
the dual monarchy into federal sys-
tenn, of which a Slav state will form
an important constituent-partly Cler-
ical at home and abroad. This would
mean pushing Austrian rule forward
into the Balkans in the spirit and
with the aim of a twentieth century
Catholic crusade. Other critics con-
clude that while the act of Bulgaria
in putting her foot through the treaty
OF Berlin when she declared her indie
pendence in October last and Austria's
formal incorporation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, may have been dramatic.

badly, take heed before the tendency
develops into habit. Ask yourself if
you have deliberately tried to curtail
your hours of sleep. Make up your
mind to turn over new leaf. See
that you get nine or ten hours rest in
bed every night. Go to bed at ten
and rise shortly before eight, and
train yourself to sleep all the time.
Sleep, even more than food, is es-
sential to health, and, when the mind
is overstrained, sleep is the only medi-
cine which will do permanent good.
Are you tired and tagged and inclined
to worry? Try ten hours in bed every
night for week, and a short rest
after the midday meal.
Have you been OVERRIDING it? Are
you run down and seedy, and gen.
orally out of sorts? Try day in bed
once a week, and you will feel and
look a different person. Don't wait
till you are a wreck from sleeplesS-
ness before following this advice.

and probably no historian ever will
say that Europe contemplated their

out protest. For all practical pur-

Bosnia and Herzegovina were prov

Bulgaria has been a powerful en-
pire in the past, possessing something
of a glorious history. Many of the
greatest victories and conquests of
Turkey were due to the devotions and
reckless courage of her Bulgarian SOL
diers, worthy descendants OF the men
who, fighting in the phalanx Of Alex
ander the Great, conquered the world.
The revolt of the Bulgarians and the
Bulgarian massacres following them,
brought on the last Russo-Turkish
war, which was closed Professionally
by the treaty of San Stefano. That
treaty created Greater Bulgaria, to in
clude Rumelia and Macedonia, those
parts of Turkey in which Bulgarians
formed the majority of the inhabit-
ants. The treaty of San Stefano was
revised by the powers at the congress
of Berlin and Bulgaria had the two
sub-territories taken away from her.
She regained Rumelia, but not Mace,
donia. The Bulgarians are the strong
est element among the inhabitants of
Macedonia, and Bulgaria has been in
tent upon regaining the province. The
recent Turkish revolution, and es-
pecially the intention of the Young
Turk party to Immediately reform and
strengthen the neglected army, ap-
peared to stimulate Bulgaria to action.

MONEY MADE IN LIVE STOCK
IN CENTRAL CANADA.

w. ]. Henderson, visiting Seattle,
writes the Canadian Government
Agent at Spokane, Wash, and says:
Il have neighbors in Central Canada
raising wheat, barley and oats for the
past 20 years, and are now getting
from the same land 20 to 80 bushels of
wheat per acre, 40 to 60 bushels of
oats.
ut was the first week Of May when
got my tent pitched, but the farmers
all around had finished putting in
their crops, so / only got fifteen acres
broke and seeded. They advised me
as it was late not to put in much
wheat, so / put in five acres of wheat
and ten acres oats, one-half acre pota-
toes and vegetables. All kinds of veg
etables grow well up there, sweet corn,
tomatoes, onions, carrots, peas, beans,
cabbage. My wheat yielded about 20
bushels per acre, for which / got 76
cents, others got 80 cents; oats
threshed 35 bushels per acre, for which
l got 35 cents per bushel. You see /
was three weeks late in getting them
in, still / was satisfied.
From my observation, there is more
money made in stock, such as cattle,
horses and sheep, as prices are high
for such, and it costs nothing to raise
them, as horses live the year around
out on the grass. In fact, farmers turn
their work horses out for the winter,
and they come in fresh and fat in the
spring. Cattle live out seven or eight
months. They NOW the prairie grass
and stack it for winter and give oat
straw. My neighbors sold steers at
$40 each, and any kind of a horse
that can pillow, from $4,000 up raised
60 chickens and pigs, as pork, chick

STAGE SEEMS TO BE
SET FOR EUROPEAN
WAR IN THE SPRING

vw ONDON, Eng-If Europe is
to be saved from a general
international rconvulsion in
M the coming spring, her
A..~M& chief statesmen will de-
serve the Praise of history
and the thanks of the whole world. 1t is
in the spring that things happen in the
the continent wherein may be struck
the vital spark of European fame. The
Balkans are extremely mountainous,
and the country, difficult of commune
cation in most parts at any time, is
impossible in the winter, when snow
way, writes A. Francis Walker in the
New York Press.
1t is country of unrest, of strife
and turmoil. Year after year the
world has been told each winter
There will be war in the Balkans in
the spring" The world has been
fooled so many times by this rumoE
that it has become skeptical, but the
time for skepticism is past. If ever
the rumor is going to find develop
ment in actual fact, it surely will find
it in the spring of 1909. According
to Sir Edward Grey, the British min
lister for foreign affairs, the present
Balkan troubles have caused "the
greatest diplomatic complications of
modern history" Never were SO many
international interests involved, nor
dill so many territorial complications
ever arise at one juncture. The Serb
states seem bent upon fight; Bulgaria,
in her ambitions toward Macedonia,
no longer feels her interests bound up
with Austria; Russia cannot afford to
disregard Slav feeling, however much
she may cry peace; and whichever
way the pendulum swings, if an out
break should occur, Austria and Tur-
key must find themselves involved.
Germany has promised to stand by
Austria and France and England are
busy safeguarding their status quo.

Is Contest of Races.

The fundamental, basic fact back of
all the negotiations between the vari-
Gus powers, principally Austria and
Turkey, Russia and the Balkan prov
inces proper, is the collision of two
opposing forces, whose natural trend,
respectively, is east and west, north
and south. Kinglake in his mastery
analysis of the Crimean war has noted
the inevitable tendency of the north
ern peoples to the south and the
warm water. At the present moment
two great races are obeying that in
stinct-the TeutoE and the Slav.

north to south, or southwest, the Slav
is equally bent upon linking up the
dismembered fragments of his race
and making his way down to the
Adriatic And the geographical and
political point at which the lines of
these movements intersect lies in the
two provinces which form the present
bone of contention.
Through Bosnia and Herzegovina,
also through Servia herself, Austria
hopes to force her way southwark.
Through that same territory, inhab-
tied by the men of his own race and
tongue, and largely of his own re-
ligion, the Slav intends to find his way
to the sea, and thereby to unite those
kindred racial elements which are ami.
mated by the most intense hatred and
jealousy of Teutonic ambitions.
1t would seem as if, in the presence
of these two tremendous opposing
forces, the petty details of interna-
tional politics from day to day have
only that Importance which belongs
to them in their relation to those
forces. Yet it is in the petty details
of political strife that the kindling

All Signs Point to War.

The announcement that Austria had
decided to pay the sum of $4,000, 900
or thereabouts to Turkey as cornpen-
s;.tion for the annexation of Bosnia
and Herzegovina cleared the air for a
time, but already difficulties have
arisen concerning the actual amount
to be paid in cash, the terms of pay
ment and the refusal of Turkey to
stop the boycott of Austrian trade I'M
til the final signatures to the financial
settlement have been written down.
That is only part of the trouble any
way. Servia and Montenegro are
more defiant than ever. The recent
speech of the Servian minister for
foreign affairs in his own parliament
wasaa fiat defiance of Austrian de-
mands.
M. Milovanovitch, the Servian for
eign minister, practically said Hands
off" to Austria. He bluntly declared
that the balance of power and the lib
critics of the Balkan peoples could be
safeguar'led only by Austria ceasing
to be a Balkan power. Further, ne

omy of Bosnia and Herzegovina under
European control and for the recogni-
ton of the Save and the Danube rivers
as the frontier between the dual mon
archy and the Balkans.
A great power like Austria-Hungary
could afford to remain passive under
provocation from a minor state, and
might we'll tolerate from a Servian
tongue what she could not possibly
tolerate from Russia, France or Ger
many, for instance a little more con-
sideration for the eXingencies of the
Servian minister's surroundings might
have led the government of Vienna to
regard the Servian minister's speech
as intended less for foreign than for
home consumption. But Austria is not
inclined to be lenient. AS a matter of
fact, consideration for the weaker ma
ton in general never has been char
acteristic of the policy of Vienna. The
whole trend of events during the past
few weeks points to this fact-that
the ties which maintain certain of the
European powers in a state of peace
are of the very slenderest nature and
that the slightest indiscretion of word
or deed may precipitate a struggle the
end of which no living man can for

Always Prepared for War.

There has been no serious European
outbreak since the Russo-Turkish war
of 1878, though for several years be-
fore that Europe had known little
peace. The Franco-German war of
1870, the Crimean war of 1856 and the
Austro-Prussian war of 1856 are all
near memories. In the Balkans them
selves there has been no real peace
for years past. The Bulgars, the Turks
and the Greeks have lived in a state
of turmoil.
For all The Haugue peace confer
ences and talks of treaties and arbi-
trations, Europe looks out upon the
spring with quivering eye and nerves
a-tingle. The jealousies of races and
nations scatter treaties and paper
bonds to the four winds. How long
before the clash? The Turk in his
mad fanaticism, guarding religion and
race in the manner in which he enjoys,
the greatest fighting unit in the world,
perhaps, though always lacking lead
ership and discipline; the Bulgar no
less warlike and capable of guerrilla
campaign second to none. the Greek
and all the mixed hoods of the ORR
ent combined; the Teuton and the
Slav, the Norman and the Anglo
Saxon. with little chance for the Latin
to escape, if Italy sees fit to keep faith
