When WAKING In. !

Here IL a bit OF information It viii
pay you to keep ready for reference,
though you will perhaps turn up your
nose at 1t at the first reading: How
to wake up and wake up fully and
quickly. Most people prefer not to
wake up in the morning that is. they
think of the pleasure there would be
In just five minutes more OF sleep If
only that alarm clock had not sound
ed its warning. OF course you have
to get up, and If there Is really any
thing that will make the job easier and
more pleasant you will want to know
about 1t. Doctors have long ago agreed
that dizziness on first awakening In
the morning is due to sluggish circu-
lation Of the blood In the brain. This
can be quickly overcome by massaging
the neck in the neighborhood of the
jugular vein, thus stirring the blood
to life and action. Rub your neck
well on both sides and drowsiness will
leave you. Try it."-New York Times.

the privileged friend, military man

You look as If you had raked over

SULTAN OF SULU COMING
Filipino Ruler Will Pay Visit to the
United States.

Manila, June 21.-The sultan of
Sulu, who once offered his hand in
marriage to Miss Alice Roosevelt, is
to visit America. He announced that
the chief object of his trip abroad is
to dispose of a collection of pearls
valued at something like $25O,OOO, the
proceeds from which will be devoted
to improving the condition of his peo-
pie.
In August, 1905, President Taft, who
In his capacity as secretary of war
was touring the Philippines with a
congressional delegation and an un-
official party, visited Sulu.
The Americans, including President
Roosevelt's daughter, were entertained
1avishly by Sultan Hadji Mahommed
Jamalul Hiram, who showered with
gifts and finally declared his wish to
make Miss Roosevelt the sultana OF
the Sulu archipelago.
He insisted that his people were
unanimous in their desire that she re-
main among them. Miss Roosevelt,
however, returned home to become
the wife of Congressman Nicholas
Longworth, another member of the
party.

German Lotteries.

In an article on the lotteries the Ber-
liner Tageblatt says there are three
ways by which wealth is acquired-by
work, which is long and tedious: by
dishonesty, which Is a precarious pro-
ceeding. and by gambling. The num-
Der Of persons who prefer the last
named method, says the writer, is
large in the German realm, for there
the great lotteries thrive best. There
are seven Of these under the manage
ment of the government, and they dis
tribute $16O.OOO,OO0 in prizes. The anx-
iety to secure part of this amount
has destroyed the happiness Of thou
sands Of households and has diverted
thousands Of good men from honest
industry and thrift to idleness and
poverty. In the seven lotteries there
are about $4,000. winners a year, but
of these only about $50 receive prizes
Of more than 1000 marks each.

RAIN NECESSARY
TO Save GRAIN 4
Crisis in Crop Situation Is
Now at Hand.
DAMAGE NOT EXTENSIVE

Liberal Rainfall Within Next Few
Days Viii Insure cid of Fair
Proportions, According - Reports
From Various Sections-Heat and
Drought Causes an Advance in the
Wheat Market.
st. Paul, June 21.-While the in
tense heat and the drouth conditions
that are prevailing over the Northwest
have brought crisis in crop condi-
lions in many districts reports indi-
cate that serious damage is not extern
sive and that anxiety regarding the
yield is based on predictions as to
what may happen if rain does not
come within the present week, rather
than on actual demage.
Reports received in the last two
days bear out the belief that liberal
rainfall even in sections from which
come the gloomiest reports, will in
sure wheat crop of fair proportions.
Few districts report extensive damage
and in sections where experience with
drouth in past years has taught the
conservation of moisture the grain
can stand week or more OF the pres
ent weather and then, with copious
showers, yield in bumper proportions.
Wheat Ripening in Advance.
The heat has matured wheat rapid
ly and the berries have been ripening
IN advance OF the usual growth of the
straw. Where there has been moisture
conserved in the soil the berries are
found to be plump and the yield will
be up to the normal. Undoubtedly
there are tracts where hot weather
and winds have dried out the soil to
such an extent that the berries at the
present advanced stage of growth will
not develop well with any amount of
moisture.
One of the largest wholesale grain
houses in the Northwest wires that
their reports do not show much dam
age yet, but says that the entire wheat
crop is in serious condition and that
Ialn must come soon 10 prevent
enormous damage.
Wheat on the Minneapolis market
opened 81 cents higher, showing that
the bulls are making the most of the

Chicago Hears Bad Reports.
Chicago, June 21.-Private reports
OF weather conditions as affecting the
spring wheat country of the two Da-
kotas and Minnesota limited of sensa-
tional developments. A report by one
of the best known experts said that
the crop has deteriorated Is per cent
in North Dakota during the last week.
Should another week elapse without
general rains In that section it is said
the damage would be so severe as to
verge on the sensational. The official
weather forecast promised "cloudy"
or local showers in the spring wheat
country, but it is said that the ma
terialization could do little to help the
crop. Soaking rains are a crying
necessity.
On the board OF trade wheat for de-
livery in September opened 2 cents

Needles are all made by machinery.
The piece Of mechanism by which the
needle is manufactured takes the
rough steel wire, cuts 1t into proper
lengths, flies the point, fattens the
head, pierces the eye, then sharpens
the tiny instrument and gives it that
polish familiar to the purchaser. There
is also machine by which needles are

and Forfeiture Of Their Property in
Missouri Is Asked.
Jefferson City, Mo-, June 21.-Attor-
ney General Elliott j. Major began
custer proceedings against five meat
packing companies by filing quo war
rantO informations in the supreme
court. The companies attacked are
the Armour Packing company, Morris
& Co., Swift & Co., Hammond Pack
Ing company and st. Louis Dressed
Beef and Provision company.
The Armour. Swift and Morris COM
panles are charged with violating the
antitrust law and conspiracy and the
Hammond and St. Louis Dressed Beef
and Provision companies, as subsid-
larry companies of the National Pack.
Ing company, with conspiracy to
control the business in Missouri.
The five companies are named in
two petitions which ask that the cor
porations be excluded from all cor
porate rights, that their license be for
feited and that all or such portion of
their property as the court may deem
proper be contiscated or in lieu there
of fine be imposed.
Armour, Swift and Morris are
charged with having entered into a
conspiracy in 1909 to control the
prices to be paid by dealers in live
stock, poultry, butter, eggs, dairy and
agricultural products, to control the
prices to be paid by retail and whole
sale dealers for dressed meats and to
control the prices to be paid by all
retail and wholesale dealers for but
ter. eggs, poultry, game, dairy and ag-
ricultural products and by-products
from the business of slaughtering live
stock.
Branded an Unlawful Trust.
I'm pursuance of an unlawful trust"
the petition says, "the corporations
have met and agreed upon and fixed
from week to week and day to day, an
agreed price paid and to be paid by all
persons for live stock and products
which should be purchased, sold or Of
fered for sale in Missouri that the
prices at which the products were to
be sold were unlawfully fixed by
means of which competition in the
purchase and sale of meat products
has been lessened, restricted and de-
stroyed."
The second count of the petition
charges that the three packing COM
panies conspired to restrain trade and
destroy competition in the purchase
and sale of meat products, live stock,
poultry, butter and eggs, by fixing a
price to be paid by all the members
of the alleged agreement, and con-
spring to control the business of buy
ing, selling and dealing in packing
house products.
"The National Packing company"
the petition says, was not organized
in good faith for the purpose of en-
gaging in the business authorized by
its charter, but as corporate scheme
to effect an unlawful trust among the
Hammond and st. Louis Dressed Beef
and Provision companies, and numer-
Gus other corporations, individuals and
partnerships engaged in the same
business"
