TEUTONS SHOW RECKLESS
PRODIGALiTY WITH TROOPS
Reserves Of Men and Guns Thrown In.
to Firing Line Shows Great Men,
ace by Allies.

London, April 25.-Reuter's CORE
gpondent at British headquarters in
France contrasts the reckless prodig-
ality with which the Germans are now
throwing reserves of men and guns
into the firing line with their previous
prudence and says that they clearly
realize the full extent of the Anglo
French menace to their whole system
Of communications and are desperate
ly trying to counter the danger. Con-
tinuing, the correspondent says:
They are throwing their strategic
reserves wholesale and are rushing up
guns and ammunition which must be
weakening some other point in their
long drawn armor. Since the Germans
began their retreat in the middle of
February they have shown every de-
side to conserve man-power, but dur
ing the last SO hours they have
shown a complete recklessness in re-
peating counter-attacks in mass with
out regard to the cost, which must
be appalling.

sLEEPLEssNEss AND A. REMEDY

SLEEPLESSNESS AND A REMEDY
Sleeplessness may be a symptom
of a serious nervous disorder, in
which instance the sufferer should
be under the treatment of skillful
specialist in nervous diseases. In
other instances, it may be merely a
sort of skittishness on the part of
nerves which refuse to quiet down
when it is time to go to sleep.
Many tricks have been invented
and practiced to overcome the men
tai restlessness or to shut off the
persistency of the minds running in
a channel which prevents sleep.
These are practically all based on
the same principle, viz, fatiguing the
mind so that it becomes as anxious
to rest as is a skittish colt after a
long drive. Counting imaginary
sheep jumping over a fence, is a ia
vorite stunt of this type. When the
cause of sleeplessness is an over
tired mind the counting plan, alone,
will not work we'll as a rule.
The following plan seems to be a
better one for the reason that it
combines rapid fatiguing process
with a soothing one. The subject
should assume as comfortable and
fully relaxed position of the body
as possible. He may begin his
agreeable imaginative part by fancy
ing himself, perhaps, reclining on
the bank of a beautiful stream. From
then on, he should Jump his mind"
as rapidly as possible from one
pleasant recollection to another
By concentrated effort, he can in
a single minute, bring many flash
recollections of things or occurrences
which have affected him agreeably.
Thus there will come brief thoughts
OF a drama, game, a childhood
prank, an almost forgotten playmate,
a book, fishing excursion and
many other dream-like memories. He
must not let the mind linger on any
Of these at this stage but make it
continue to travel from one thought
to another at as near telegraphic
speed as possible.
Soon, without the consciousness of
the subject, there comes time
when the mind will rest upon some
overwhelmingly pleasant, dreamy
thought. The nervousness disappears
and sleep comes the next. moment.
For the want OF SO simple a remedy
as this, drug taking and bad men
tai habits have been formed. 1t is
amazing how quickly and successful
ly the plan works, if the individual
is not OF the type who loves to be
afflicted"

COMMISSIONERS, HEADED BY VI
ViANI AND JOFFRE, REACH
CAPITOL ON PRESIDENTS
YACHT MAYFLOWER,
MET BY FL0TILLA
OFF HAMPTON ROADS
Party Boards Mayflower After Greet
ings Are Extended at Hampton
Roads-Joffre to Present Plea
For Sending U. S. Force to
Battle Front.

Fortress Monroe, April 25. -
Frances war commissioners to the
United States have reached Hampton
Roads and moved up Chesapeake bay
for Washington on board the presi.
dental yacht MayfioWer.
The mission, of which Rene Viviani,
vice premier and minister of justice,
is the official head, and Marshal Jof-
fire, member, has unlimited power
to negotiate with the United States
on all subjects, military, naval and fl.
nancial. 1t is prepared to discuss the
sending of an American expeditionary
force to France.
Joffre to Present Plea.
Marshal Joffre and other military
members will indicate to American
military officials several military rea.
sons which they consider renders the
sending of such force advisable. The
Importance of these reasons is found
in the moral effect to be had from
the presence of American troops on
the battlefields of France. The French
idea of an American expedition calls
for fighting force supported by aux
iliary services, such as railway staffs,
railway material, base repair shops,
telegraph and telephone lines; automo.
bile transport and a strong aviation
section.
France Would Assist.
The French government is ready to
offer whatever is necessary to assist
in sea operations, including the use
for naval purposes of all ports in
France. The ministry of marine has
worked out for submission to the
American government a comprehens-
i've plan for overseas transports, for
both army and navy purposes and for
the provisioning of the civil popula-
ton.
Financially France needs loans of
$100000,000 monthly to be spent in
the United States. Detailed official
information on this subject will be
submitted to the American govern
ment at the conference to be held in
Washington.

CLEANUP WEEK

The good results obtained in past
years through cleanup movements,
induces us to ask, that the week be-
ginning May 18th, 1917 be observed
and used in all cities and villages
of the state as CLEAN UP WEEK.
During this week, if not earlier,
each citizen should clean up his
premises-basement, attic, CLOSETS,
area-Ways, sheds and barns-and re-
move or destroy all rubbish and
waste.
In burning rubbish We caution
against having such fires on windy
days, or near buildings, and against
leaving them unattended Or burning
at night.
In going over your premises you
may find not merely rubbish but also
paint rags, oily rags and waste, de-
fective stove and furnace pipes,
cracked and unclean chimneys, case
line and other oils carelessly stored,
and poor shingle roofs ready for
the first chimney spark.
All these fire hazards need your
attention NOW.
The reasons for this cleaningup
are plain. Rubbish breeds fires and
CONGREGATIONS. 1t also breeds dis
ease germs, and flies to carry these
germs. About one-third the number
Of deaths of persons under forty are
caused by unclean conditions.
Health officers and fire chiefs are
equally interested in this good work
and should have charge Of it.
1t is hoped Mayors will proclaim
this clean-up-week, and urge officers
and citizens to do their share.
Section 927p authorizes the re-
mOval of ashes and rubbish at public
expense, or levying a special tax
for such purpose, as may be deter
mined by proper authority.
You want clean, beautiful city,
free from fire dangers; then help
to make it SO.
Because of the many lives jeop-
ardized in schools and public build
ings, chiefs of fire departments
should make a special inspection of
them.
Storage CT Waste Pager
A new fire hazard has been in
troduced in schools, theaters and
stores. Because of a shortage of
paper materials, the government has
urged the saving of waste paper; so
in many instances these buildings
have become gathering and storage
place of such papers. A number of
schOOlhOuSe and store fires have
been traced directly to this cause
Waste paper should be taken to
and baled in isolated buildings. and
shipped frequently. Where kept or
baled in schools, public buildings
and stores a fire proof room with
standard fire door should be pro-
vided.
Endangering property and lives by
this new hazard is poor economy
and almost criminal Schools and
public buildings should never be the
storage place for combustible rub
bish and waste.

State Fire. Marshal.

RESTRICTS SALE OF LIQUOR

Sweden Bans lntoxicants From April
"a to May II.
Stockholm, April 25.-Sale by retail
of all distilled liquors is forbidden
throughout Sweden from April "a to
May IL.
There is reason to believe the order
has connection with the great May
day demonstration planned by labor
unions.
The official explanation of the ban
on liquor is that the excise authorities
desire to make an inventory Of the
available spirits in the kingdom.

under state supervision so that Lake
Winnebago may furnish food for Osh-
kosh people who are now obliged to
curtail their purchase of vegetables
and meat on account of the high cost
of living. Those pushing the project
point to the fact that the lake is full
of edible fish, yet the poorer classes
cannot buy them in the markets and
cannot catch them except by hook and
line. 1t is proposed to use nets that
will hold only the larger fish and per-
