LOST SLEEP TEN YEARS

Anyone who knows Mr.. B. f. Sugg oil
Tyner, n. G., viii tell you that he speaks
nothing but the truth
Mr.. Sugg has suffered greatly from
sleeplessness and in recent letter says:
"For ten years j have suffered greatly
from nervous ailment which caused me
to lose at least three hours of needed
sleep every night.
Il tried everything | could find TO get
relief, and finally one bottle of Vinol
gave me more relief than all other
remedies. | am grateful to Vinol for
my present good health"
Many persons who are in a nervous,
rundown condition get SO they cannot
sleep, and this is almost certain to wreck
their health unless the right steps are
taken.
Our delicious cod liver and iron rem
edy without oil, Yinol, builds up the
body and nourishes the nerves with pure,
rich blood, and makes it possible to get
natural, restful sleep. We guarantee
that Vinol will do you good money back
if it fails), and if you are weak, nervous
and sleepless, you certainly should try
Vinol. Red Cross Pharmacy, Burt IL.

Great Ambitions.

Many of our small boys have an am
bition to grow up and become street
car conductors and policemen. The
ambition of the small boy of Morocco
is to become the beayer of the umbrel-
la, which Is an office of the highest
dignity in the country When the sui
tan goes abroad some one walks close
behind him and carries a great umbrel-
la OF scarlet and gold TO shield his
majesty from the rays of the sun.
Another great official is the fly flick
err appointed to shoe away all flies
from the sultan's person. The tea
maker is person Of quite as much inn
portance as the other two. He carries
the teapot with great dignity and has
everything ready to make cup Of
sweet tea favored with mint whenever
the sultan may ask for ii, and he is as
likely to ask for IL one minute as an
other American boys and men would
think these positions silly, but the
small boys of Morocco have no ambi-
ton greater than to occupy one of
these when they grow up.

SITKA GOLD DEPOSITS.
Report Issued by United States Geologi-
cal Survey.

"The Sitka Mining District of Alaska, !"
by Adolph Knopf, is brief report Just
ISSUED by the United States geological
survey as bulletin 504. While the out
put of the mines of the Sitka district
has helped to swell the value of the
annual mineral production of Alaska,
the production has at no time been COM
parable with that of the big produe-
ing districts of the territory. The gold
deposits of the Sitka district are found
i'll quartz so that the development has
been that of lode gold mining. Al
though the first lode mining in Alaska
Is credited to the Sitka mining dis
trict rim 1871 little or nothing was
actually produced until 1905, when dis
coveries OF auriferous lodes were made
near King Bay, on Chichagof island
The conclusions reached by Mr.. Knopf
as to the mineral resources of the Sitka
district are that they consist Of gold
and gypsum, with granite as a possible
lHdeveloped resource. The gold is found
in quartz lodes aud two properties, at
klac bay. have been put on a produc-
tive basis, with strong promise-of a pros
porous career The ores, which range
in value from SIS to 500 ton, are OF
considerably higher grade than the aver
age ore of southeastern Alaska. A
large number of ore bodies of the same
general character have long been known
to exist near Sitka, but owing to the
low grade ores contained in them, none
have yet been brought to a producing
stage. The indications afforded bv pres
ent developments point strongly to the
conclusion that the entire strip of ter
ritory contiguous to the west coast of
Cbichagof island offers a more encour-
aging inducement to the search for new
ore bodies than any other part of the
region.

In the Heart of a Tree.

Two men with axes chopped at the
trunk of a great Eastwood tree, and
then they went at the notch with a
long saw, one man at each end. The
tree stood In the forest along the
Montreal river in Wisconsin. The
men sawed away. and all of sudden
the saw rasped on something hard
the tough heartwood doubtless. The
sawyers worked the harder, but it
was to no effect The teeth of the
saw were blunted and the men took
to the axes again.
Can you imagine what they found
when the tree had, fallen with a roar
that shook the surrounding woods?
Their axes had uncovered the edge
of another ak blade. hidden in the liv-
ing tree, covered so deeply that no
mark had remained on the bark to
tell of what was within. The blade
must have been liz its place for cen

Made a Great Invention.

! Tn the March American Magazine there
/ is an interesting account of DR.. 5. NJ.
/ Bahcock an extraordinary scientist con-
nected with the university of Wiscon-
/ sin who believes that the results of
! his investigations belong to all people.
| After inyenting the BabcOck milk test,
which is used by dairymen all over
the world, he declined to patent it and
! to reap a fortune from it. which would
have amounted, without doubt, to mil
lions of dollars. Following is an ex-
1 tract:
.Ie invented in 1890 the famous milk
! test which bears his name-a discovery
which marks him eminent in every land
where modern dairying is known.
Comes now the key to his character
/ htmanitariauism. Greed and sordidness
cannot sulIy him lie claimed that his
services belonged to the state. so he
refused TO take out "A patent; gave it
free to the farmers Of the world. Mean
while DE Laval OF De Laval OF Dem

no more important invention, and has
become mtlti.milionaire What a
colossal fortune DR.. Babcock put aside!
Before this invention. milk poor milk,

by measure at uniform price. And
there was the proyerbial well and pump

on merit. the richer the product the

dairy machinery possible, eliminating
previous wastes and losses, when ratios
are based on the dairy industry of Wis

Annually.
SLOWLY the greatness of the discov-
cry dawned on civilization. Gratitude
always lags lazily behind progress. In
1895 the Wisconsin legislature signally
hoBored him, comforting a medal in
recognition Of the great value to the
people OF this state and to the whole
world in the inventions of Professor
stephen Moulton Babcoek OF the univer-
sity of Wisconsin, and his unselfish dedi-
cation of these inventions to the public
service A year later the French gov
ernment awarded him the grand prize
Of the national exhibition. South Aus
tralia sent him a rare painting and
from the dairymen OF far off New Yea
land came a volume of "Island Scenes"
the cover thoughtfully inscribed: The
Babcock test is now in universal use
in this country, and your name has
consequently become a household word
among New Zealand dairymen.'

APPLES A STAPLE PRODUCT.
There Is Little Danger of Over Pro-
duction Is the Statement.

The pertinent thing about our orchard
Industries, says Prof. NJ. B. Cummings
of the university of Vermont, is the
present and future outlook The pres
ept outlook is not an open question
for high prices dispose OF this point.
But what of the future? Is there dan
ger of reproduction in view of the
renewed. interest and the extensive
paintings Of, to-day?
The apprehensive fruit grower should
consider the whole proposition carefully
before making up his mind. Attention
may be directed to the following PROPOSE
tiCns:
81. Consumption is overtaking produc-
ton and the market has for long
time been under supplied The United
States is producing to-day only little
more than one-third as many barrels of
apples as it did Fifteen years ago. Many
orchards haye been abandoned some
have died, and still Others have been
cut down. Only small amount of
planting was done until three years
ago and the young orchard will be rath-
er slow in coming into bearing.
SO. The market for apples in the near
future will probably remain good, not
withstanding increased production; for
efforts are already being made to de-
velop foreign markets, an apple consum-
ers' league has been formed, whose pur
pose is great educational campaign
to increase consumption; and we are
finding better methods of storage which
are coming into use so the apple eat
ing season will be very much extended.
he business men of the country intend
to maintain the apple as staple ar
ticle in consumption and production.
"3, The real problem then is to choose
wisely for paintings, adopt and apply
the most modern methods of culture,
grade carefully and pack honestly, En-
courage consumption by growing for sale
only choice varieties and be fair with
The middleman. The fruit Industries
will be good and great if good methods
prevail otherwise, the business will be
a preearious one"
