Ways " OF INDUCING SLEEP
Many and Curious Methods Have
Il: Been Resorted to in All 5 =$5
=; Ages s> vi 'S.tss:##

Many and curious have been the
methods employed to induce sleep in
all ages. Even from the primitive pill
low stuffed with the narcotic-leaf to
the more modern one advocated by a
we'll known Swedish doctor-of get
ting between the blankets dripping
from q cold bath.
But perhaps none is so extraordi-
nary as that recently invented by an
eminent German doctor and scientist.
BY his system it Is possible to switch
sleep "off'' and "on," precisely as one
maniplates the electric light.
Thus it is by electricity that the
doctor is able to promise sleep to the
most inveterate OF insomnia victims,
BY means of a small electrically
worked machine, he applies the cur
rent to the base of the skull, which
produces a "deadening' effect on the
nerves. This state can be kept up for
as long a period as desired. Up to
the present experiments have been
practically confined to animals; but.
as it was found they could be brought
to full consciousness within a minute
or two, it is believed the invention
Gao have no evil effects on humans.

WORRY FILLS THE ASYLUMs
Forty Per Cent. Of the insanity Cases
Are Attributed to It by = :
Alienists. s@s%.- <

An eastern alienist told the Men&0
Hygiene society that If worry could bs
eliminated the number Of our insane
would be decreased by 40 per cent
His assertion is corroobrated by other
experts.
The diagnosis, one sees, is delight
fully simple, but the remedy is hard to
apply. Worry is of two sorts-that
which comes from within and that
which is imposed from without. The
nervous specialist treats the first and
mental suggestion succeeds in Ger
tain proportion of cases. As for the
worry incident to our mad scramble
to survive, the doctors we look to In
that case are the ecoonmists and the
sociologists. The problem Of the nerve
specialist is not an easy one, but Il
looks almost simple when compared
with the problem OF the economists
Both sets of doctors are making head
way, and at present we may look for
much improvement in our insanity
statistics? So. let us not worry about
worry, but work to remove its causes

The Rush for Land,

Over thirty-four thousand acres of
Minnesota state land were sold
Through the auditors Office at the
last series of land sales. The average
price per acre for this land was about
- and the purchaser has forty years
In which to pay for it. Interest at
four per cent is charged on delayed
payments.
This land all lies in the park reg
ion of Northern Minnesota where
climate conditions make for the pro-
duction of record crops. Why any
one can go through Minnesota to the
Canadian west and pass by such op-
portunities as are offered here is hard
to understand. 1t must be that they
are not familiar enough with the
fact that Minnesota wants settlers on
her thousands of acres of cheap but
good lands.
The spring rush for land is on.
Every possible effort must be made
now to keep some of the transient
immi grants here. 1t might be we'll to
note here that only this week forest
and prairie fires wiped out the prop
erty of thousands of settlers in Sas-
katchewan. Stock growers are facing
financial distress because of the loss
of grass. Keep the Americans in
America and get Minnesota settled
first.

STORY TOLD By Mr.. HOGAN
Rather Late to Publish, But Really 90
>%'% Good That It Is Hard to
Pass Over.

A group of revolutionary heroes
we're swapping tall stories, and from
the lips OF each there fell wondrous
tales of what he had done In the
shock of battle or the frenzy Of the
charge. Finally one old fellow with
long, white whiskers, remarked:
II was personally acquainted with
George Washington.
IT was lying behind the breast
works one day, pumping lead into the
Britishers, when heard the patter of
a horses hoofs behind me. Then
came voice: "
Hi, there, you with the deadly
aim! Look here a moment!'
II looked around and saluted, rec
ognizing General Washington. and he
said:
What's your name?'
Hogan l said.
"'Your first name?'
"'Pat, sir-Pat Hogan

A Government Budget.

With the announcement of the
plan of the new Democratic tariff, it
is plainly seen that the drift toward
a national budget is becoming pro-
nounced. The ways and means COM
mittee of the house has roughly esti-
mated the expenditures of the gov
eminent for the next two years and
has framed bill which will raise the
required revenue. The protection
principle has been lost.
The action of the ways and means
committee is a step in the direction
of budget for the government. The
United States is the only civilized
country in which the receipts and ex-
penditures of the government are not
closely related and almost balanced.
The hap-hazard system which has OBJ
tanned here in the past cannot last
much longer. With the coming of
the budget will come a tariff which
will be for revenue only.
The income tax is destined to be-
come one of the principal sources of
revenue under the budget system in
asmuch as the rate is quickly changed
to meet conditions and no upset of
business follows the making of the
rate. In fact, one congressman has
gone so far as to predict that the in
heritance and income taxes will
eventually be the only sources of gov
ornamental revenue. In the present
bill, incomes as low as $4,000 will be
taxed but less than one per cent of
the people of the country will come
under it's provisions.
While direct taxation has never
been and probably never will be pop
ular, the budget system should not be
dropped through fear of the income
and inheritance taxes. BY definitely
correlating revenues and expendi-
lures, it cannot help but save the
country money. -: ... "A

the Republican party, yet the
fact remains that the Republl-
cans elected 122 congressman to

38 Republicans and only six pro

And in the State elections il.
was tougher still for the bull

still is the disparity IN State
