The boys had been told about the

also found out good deal about the
aims and purposes of TIE moveme t
by reading some literature on the sub
ject at the library. They were very
anxious to get started, and after
hearing Mr.. Dale. they organized
right away. So universal was, the
interest that every boy who was
present at the address given by the
state organizer joined before leaving
the room. They are now busy pre-
pairing to take their tenderfoot test,
to pass which they must know the
scout law, salute, and oath, the his
tory and composition of the national
flag, and how to tie four kinds of
knots. AS soon as they pass this test
they begin their service as tenderfeet,
until they have mastered the require
ments for second-class scouts. when
they will get their uniforms and also
the second class badge.
The movement in Morris will be
under the direction of local COM
mittee. composed OF J. E. Cole,
county surveyor and city engineer.
who will be scoutmaster of the troop,
and the following scoutmasters: C.

ed Hill to Assist in 100000
Campaign.

At meeting of the Trustees of
Carleton College recently it was an
neunced that progress on the recently
inaugurated financial campaign had
reached the $3.50, 900 mark. Of this
amount the General Education Board
Of New York City at their annual
meeting one week ago have condition.
ally contributed 100000.

increased by his benefactions to $685.
900, 900. The income of $33. 900. 900
of this amount is given away annually
to such colleges and universities in
the United States as are able to meet
the standards and requirements of the
Board. Its gifts are made irrespec-
tive of denominational affiliations or
sex or race, its aim being primarily
to aid institutions which are favorably
located and which give promise of
vitality and usefulness in the future.
This Board has nothing whatever to
do with the Carnegie Foundation for
the Advancement of Teaching which
administers a fund of SIS. 900, 900
given by Andrew Carnegie for pen
sions for retired teachers.
The offer to Carleton from the Gen
eral Education Board came after
thorough examination of the institu-
tion including it's history, faculty,
scholastic standards and methods of
financial management. in all of which
particulars Carleton received the most
cordial endorsement of this Board of
educational experts.
The offer of $780, 900 is made con-
ditional upon the college raising tot
al of 100000: S5OO.OOO for in
creased endowment, $4,000 for
new heating plant and $4,000 to
cover present debt and prospective
deficit to June. 1912. The total
amount must be pledged by June 18th,
1912, and will be payable in four an
nual installments. beginning July
1st, 1912.
The Trustees and friends of the COL
lege have already pledged $3.50, 600
to meet the conditional offer of the
General Education Board and plans are
now being made for securing the re-
naming $35O.OOO required. Profess
sor Fred B. Hill, Head of the Depart
ment of Biblical Literature, who with
Mrs. Hill has given to the college
nearly 100000, has been released
from teaching for the second semester
and will assist the administration in
the work of the campaign.
The complete plans of the college
include the raising of 100000 for
buildings in addition to the $500, 900
campaign outlined above.
A considerable part of the amount
for building purposes is already in
sight.

TREATMENT OF INSOMNIA.
When the Case Is One for a Physician
Nervous RestfuIness.

! In considering the treatment OF in
somnia it is well to. treat the subject
under two heads major Insomnia and
minor insomnia.
Major insomnia, happily, is a disease
! that concerns few persons. and its
treatment is matter for the trained
! physician only. II may be associated
with severe organic disease or il may
be the beginning of acute insanity.
| These cases of course are neither for
home diagnosis nor for home treat
ment. But almost any one sooner or
later and for one reason or another
may be called upon to deal with minor
| insomnia.
In such a case the first thing is TO
look for the reason. When a person
who is habitually a good sleeper has a
restless, tossing wakeful night the
reason is generally not hard to lind. y
mistake has been made somewhere.
and i'm most cases a dietary mistake.
The last meal was either too largo or
too late or it contained some substance
that refused To be digested
The insomnia of Indigestion is n
particularly disagreeable type, as it is
allied with n nervous restlessness
which not only forbids the sufferer TO
sleep but makes him feel as If he would
never sleep again and keeps him turn
ing and tossing in mind az well as in
body This is the kind which makes
mountains out of all the molehlls and
darkens the thoughts of the coming
day.
Discretion is the better part Of yalor
/ in such a case. 1t Is waste OF time Go
toss and try. Get up speedily and move
about for a while. slowly drinking sew
eral glasses Of water Realize early
that until YOU have helped your stom-
ach to the victory you will not sleep.
on the other hand an empty stomach
may keep you awake just as obstinate

however, the answer is. easy-a cup of

Some people keep themselves wake
full by getting mcutallyleXci late in

of the blessed darkness.
Many people find Il wise to cool their
brains at the end of the day with lit

Some fairly good sleepers accuse
themselves OF insomnia simply because
