WHEAT TAKES BIG JUMP
ON REPORT OF DAMAGE
Black Rust in Manitoba Sends
Price Up 4 1-2 Cents
in Chicago
(By Associated Press. }

CHICAGO, August Jumps of more
than 1-2 cents a busnel in the value
of wheat took place today as a result
of word that black rust damage in
Manitoba amounted to calamity and
that the injury to the crop in the Da-
kotas and Minnesota was increasing.
Estimates were current that the pros
pective yield of wheat in the United
States had fallen off 100000 bushels,
as compared with the outlook on July l.
Buying here was on a broad scale and
included much purchasing for European
account. Before midday September had
risen to 1.2S ga as against LA 1-S<
1.24 IA at yesterdays close.
Advances in price became sensational
in extent in the trading later. The chief
reason was that black rust was said to
have spread in Canada and to be dan
gerously thretening in Saskatchewan
after having wrought havoc in Manitoba.
September wheat here finally touched
81 81 3-S, a clear ascent of 1907 lac
above yesterdays finish and closed at
81 80 SIS, a gain during the session of
$500 1-2c bushel.

Very often / hear the remark, HE Cor
she) has gone to the sanitarium be-
cause of nervous prostration." This dis
ease has become a fashionable ailment,
and it represents whole lot of other
ailments, but taking a rest can be had
in a quiet room at home, where the
rates will be less expensive and where
ready cash is often wanting in the
family of the invalid.
Tired housekeepers do not often seek
a rest cure, but that does not signify
that they would not be better off If they
did go to bed and stay there until they
were really rested.
With my many years of experience, l
am convinced every family should have
a rest room, well furnished and set
apart for the ailing ones, where nobody
will dare to enter unless permission is
granted
l heard of most active woman in
London charities who explained her
health system by saying she took one
day in every week to lie in bed, stretch
out her limbs and read an interesting
book She was not at home to any
visitor, and no outside call was allowed
to be brought to her notice.
Next day she would rise rested and
vigorous and able to do what was re-
quired of her.
Aged people must lie down a great
deal. Whether they sleep or only rest
their tired limbs is not a debatable
question at all. 1t is a prime necessity.
Natures recuperative forces are
weakened with advancing years. The
vital forces are more languid and long
lived people are people who take life
easy in the great majority of cases. And
all busy people should always get a
few minutes of repose during the day.
There is a vast difference between
tired folks and lazy folks, but want
OF rest will make the best of people
irritable and unhappy.
Little children can be taught to sleep
regularly and children are generally
good who sleep often and sleep a
great deal.
This thing of taking a rest means
a great deal more Ian appears on the
first mention of 1t.

ARE You SURE AS TO WHO SPREADS
CONTAGION2

Some of our wise medical ex0erts are
locating tuberculosis germs in the wash
err woman's homes. They think it would
be money we'll invested to investigate
the colored washer woman's homes, etc.
Maybe so, but 1t is a we'll investigated
fact that a great many tuberculosis
victims send out clothes to washer wom-
en- to be washed and it might be that
the darkey came in actual ana
vicious contact with tuberculosis germs
in some such way. Don't you see? 1t
Is a poor rule that does not work both
ways.
Away back in the middle of the nine
teenth century 1 had acquaintance with
a family, solely afflicted with "galloping
consumption" Six grown people dleo
within much less than six years. the
family owned negro slaves and at least
six of these slaves, mostly nurses, wash
erwomen, etc, died with the same gal
Looping consumption" 1t was Freely
~ talked that the negro slaves caught
the disease from the white owners
How is that for high?
Some one discussing the spread oil
this disease has said germs can lodge
in the Whiskers of the rich man as well
as under the finger nails of the unwash-
ed laborer and the given theory is
very broad and comprehensive theory
SO to speak. If germs are so verile
that they lodge in drinking cups In
white passenger cars and in the general
communion cup in white churches, II
would seem reasonable that the colored
washerwoman might catch the germs
that harbor in the flannels and hand
kerchiefs of their patrons.

am a teacher and know something of
the hardships and pleasures of a teach

house and we made the seats ourselves.
Later we moved them into an old store
house and taught there. Last year
taught in a pretty little house and will
have a nice house this year. My school
begins next Monday. 1 have to leave
home but will be about ten miles from
home. Marianne write me- 1 would
like so much to correspond with you.
1 have been canning berries and

TABERNACLE MEETING In CAR

As a matter of information to persons
who desire to enjoy a short vacation
or an outing in the mountains, / will
notify such persons that the tabernacle
meeting In Sam Jones Tabernacle will
begin on August and cover ten days
of religious services thereafter.
1t is a capacious tabernacle and easily
seats 1000 persons. L have in times
past seen 10000 in the enclosure, arounl
the seats and in the aisles, and an esti-
mated crowd of 10000 persons on the
grounds a few times.
A son of Gypsy" Smith. the English
evangelist, will conduct the meeting.
He held a very successful meeting IN
Macon, Ga, last year.
Gainesville has always been able to
handle the tabernacle crowds. and 1t is
reasonable to suppose there will be no
difficulty or hindrance this year.

George Pence, veteran field exam
iner Of the state board of accounts,
whose home is in Columbus, Ind, tells
this story of Jim Cooper, former fell
low townsman:
Pence worked in a bank. Cooper
appeared at the teller's window one
day, beckoned mysteriously to Pence
and, when he approached, whispered
that he would like private conference
in the back room of the bank.
Mr.. Pence hurried to the back room
and let Cooper in, closing the door
very carefully.
Cooper, grasping Pence by the coat
sleeve, moved to far and dark cor
ner of the room. Then he whispered
in Pence's all-too-curious ear:
Can you change a tifty-dollar bill
for me?"
"Yes," gasped Pence, waiting for the
climax of these strange actions.

Street Railroad Comedy.

The uncertainty of travel on the
cable cars in Edinburgh was respon-
sible for a little comedy the other
night, in which the principal actor was
an indignant and disappointed passen-
ger. The passenger had just paid his
penny fare, when the vehicle came to
a stop. It was an unofficial stop,
and when it was seen that there was
no immediate prospect of resump-
tion of the journey, the passenger CON
cerned demanded his money back. The
conductor, on the ground that he
had punched the ticket, refused to
comply with the demand. Eventually
the passenger, in his indignation, lift
ed the spare driving wheel which was
lying at the rear end of the car and
threatened to retain it as a tangible
substance for his lost journey. The
man was told that he would be given
in charge to the police. He threatened
to charge the conductor with the theft
Of the penny. The carman called in
the policeman, and the parties pro-
ceeded to the police station, where
the passenger was charged with the
appropriation of the tramway COM
pany's property. The police are pre-
pairing a report upon it for the crown
prosecutor The complaining passen-
ger was not detained. The stoppage
on the route concerned in this tram
way episode lasted for about an hour.

matter for the musician, not the artist.

will be able to convert into terms of
music the extraordinary contrasts Of
noise and sullen silence which one
may hear in a bombarded town"

Hire Woman Detectives.

A woman detective has received an
appointment from the Bristol authori'
ties. There is nothing amateurish
about the Bristol appointment. The
new officer has received special train
ing in police work, and although her
duties will chiefly concern women and
children her services will be utilized
in solving all classes Of crime and
mystery. Women" an authority ex-
planned, "are particularly adapted for
work which comes outside the scope
of the ordinary detective, but unfor-
tunately 1t is sometimes unsafe to
trust a woman with an important in
vestigation where young men are con-
cerned. They are swayed by emotion,
They can't help it; It is their nature,
and they have been known to fall in
love with the man they have been set
to watch"
