Man’s Nerves
HEX a tradesman was arraigned recently at a London (England) court on a charge of having attempted to commit suicide, it was pleaded in his behalf that he had suffered from insomnia brought on by the noise made at night by the motor omnibuses and trams which passed the premises at which he resided, and he stated himself that he had been unable to sleep owing to the traffic. This was an extreme case, perhaps, and possibly this particular victim of street noises was a man of abnormally nervous temperament.
W
But no man’s nerves are entirely proof against the sapping influence of disturbed and interrupted sleep, and, unhappily, cause and effect in tMs case are apt to react and intensify each other. The nervous fear of not being able to sleep is often enough the primary cause of sleeplessness, and thus.an. irregular series of intermittent noises tends to induce, especially in a sleeper awakened by them, a state of nervous apprehension which may lead in the end to severe and pronounced insomnia. This is a serious matter, not merely for bad sleepers themselves, but for all who have to depend pn their services. Xo man can do his work efficiently by day if he cannot sleep at night, and when public servants like* Sir Henry Morris and other of our correspondents tell us how great and growing the evil is, it is high time for the community at large* to bestir
Bicycle Riding Is Not a Thing of The Past

proud to ride it because you think it is a back number. The streets are better now than when bicycles were in fashion and the wheels are cheaper, which gives you a better chance to get one than ever before. - J i The sensation is the same as on a motorcycle or automobile, and because your" boss rides in an automobile don’t be ashamed to face him with a wheel. It is a good, healthy exercise after work and you will go to places which you will never reach on foot bc ause of the distance. lam not trying to boom the wheel business, but giving'a lesson to those who throw away their wheels because they are back numbers. They don’t know what they are missing.
Tipping Nuisance Becoming Serious Matter
By JOHN KAY KING
planned hold-up? There should be an end to it, and all would-be patrons of public hostelries of whatsoever kind should have the positive assurance. Some of the leading hotels in Chicago publish their rates, which are not questioned, but say nothing about the abominable custom of “feeing” among their waiters, which is sure to be experienced. It is gratifying to know the press of the country is becoming interested along these lines. The wholesalers are confounded and realize the importance of action, for are not the hotels and restaurants largely dependent upon the patronage of the tens of thousands of traveling salesmen they employ ? u
Another Evil That Should be Checked

It therefore seems to me that the use of the paper handkerchief would be as beneficial in our war on disease germs as th two former articles mentioned. ( The paper handkerchiefs could easily be burned at home, or if the step could be carried still farther the city might furnish boxes on the street corners where these might be thrown and disposed of dailjr.

itself and insist on a remedy being found and applied, says the London Times. «Of course the traffic of a great city can never be entirely stilled. There must always be occasional passings even in the quietest streets. These we must put up with as best we may, as we must also with the continuous roar of the great thoroughfares up to a late hour of the night. But these are not the enemies of sleep of which Sir Henry Morris specially complains. It is the multiplication of the motor car and the heedless sounding of its raucous horn in the small hours that justly provoke his indignation and remonstrance.
Bicyeie riding is a thing which seems to be out of date and there are but few who ride them. I used to be one of those who thought that bicycling was a thing of the past and laid my wheel aside until some friends in the neighborhood resurrected theirs and I joined them. It is certainly a fine exercise and those who don’t talce it don’t know what they are missing. Of course those who can afford automobiles are excused, and if you have a motorcycle I would say ride that. But if you have a wheel don’t be too
This matter of “tipping” is becoming so serious and so universal that very many people inclined to leave home are afraid to venture because of the prevailing custom. Hotel accommodations are contracted for by the traveling public with no extras expected. The same is true of the restaurant, whose printed menu makes an order thoroughly understood. The present “system” among and with all sorts of waiters is to exact or at least expect a fee, which if not complied -with means trouble. Can thi! custom mean anything * less than an insult aud a well-
Xow that we have the paper towel and the paper cup, how about the paper handkerchief? It seems to me there are more germs carried and spread t about by the use of the ordinary handkerchief than by the old-rfashioned towel or even the ordinary drinking cup. All persons suffering from certain troubles use a handkerchief continually. Everyone knows that a handkerchief is not always in the hands of the user. It is placed in the wash with other articles, and must be handled by the head of the house and perhaps other members of
Many Unable to Sleep Owing to Noises
POULTRY NOTES
Eggs now are at their highest. The best breed is one that suits one’s purpose best. A little salt and pepper mixed with the mash Is good for the hens. Hens must be fed, and fed a long time, before the eggs will come. Breeding turkeys can be profitablykept up to the fifth and sixth year. The cost of feed for geese is Bmall, compared with that for other market fowls. ' When at all indisposed, a turkey should be separated from the rest or the flock. Ducks and gese require deep -drinking vessels, especially if reared and kept on land. A hen, like a human being, needs to be made comfortable In order t q do the best wor^. As soon as the breeding season is over the male birds should be separated frbm the hens. The business of oor domestic ben is to produce plenty of eggs, and we must feed her for them. -X Begin to select your breeders for next year and cull out and sell those that you have not room for this winter.

WHAT HAVE YOU TO SAY ABPOT THIS?
To the People of Jasper County: " _ "THIS TEKLEPOST MUST BE CRUSHED OUT, REGARDLESS Oh THE COST.” In these words a piominent Wail street hnanc.er announced that the Interests had declared war on us and on you. Why he wished .to crush it, —the many attempts to ruin it, —why they failed, —the great benefits of the Telepost to you and to the entire country,—-and how, with your co-opciaticn, it can never be crushed, — prompt me to ada:ess you. It concerns you. It is your fight as well as ours. The Telepost is an independent telegraph company owning a system of automatic machine telegraphy recognized as the highest development to date in its field. It is in active commercial operation between Chicago, St. Lotus, Indianapolis, Louisville and other cities of the Middle West, with the lowest rates and best service ever given in the United States. Its purpose is to extend these advantages to all parts of the country. It gives a fiat rate, regardless of distance, of one-quar-ter cent to one cent a word, according to service furnished. It sends i,coo words a minute on one wire and allows telephone conversation over it at the same time. By all other methods it requires irom seventeen to sixty wires to do what the Teiepust does on one. For over thirty-five years there ha a been no real competition in telegraphy. The Interests behind this utility control it more completely than the Steel, Beef, Tobacco and Oil Trusts ..control their respective lines and products. By means of “Gentlemen’s Agreements,” admitted under oath to the New York Legislature, they have stifled competition, extorting, according to former Postmaster-General John Waqamaker; 5i00.000.000 from the people in exorbitant charges'for an indifferent service. The purpose of these “Agreements” is to maintain present high charges, and to block the introduction of any better system by others. The methods employed to destroy the Telepost..have been notoriously unfair, and un-American:—Spies dogging the footsteps of visitors to our offices: men of prominence, associated with us, threatened; employees bribed to betray us; timid shareholders stampeded into sacrificing their shares; our wires mysteriously cut, and our customers urged to leave us. Periodicals, and other publications, in alliance with the money powers behind the telegraph interests, have maliciously at-' tacked us in order to discourage popular support for our enterprise, in much the same manner qs they did Alexander Graham Bell when he introduced the telephone. 1 v f With the low rates of the Telepost, the wires will be used almost as freely as the mails. We plan to build a line from our terminal in Chicago to New York, having secured entrances into both cities and practically all of the right-of-way. This line will pass near your town, with which we shall ultimately connect it The New York-Chicago line will put the Telepost on such a solid and big dividend-paying basis that extensions to all parts of the country will rapidly follow. The opposition has declared that it will make it impossible for us to build this extension by PREVENTING OUR GETTING THE MONEY NEEDED. In this they do not reckon on your having anything to say, and seemingly forget that the original telegraph lines were built,— not by Wall Street,—bet, with profit to themselves, by the merchants, farmers and small investors of the country who were independent of capitalistic

control or propose to build the Telepost lines in the same -w^y. However determined the “Interests may be to stop us we Want you to help us show that in spite of Wall btreet opposition there is enough manhood and civic pride in this country to insure the completion ( of a monumental work of this kind without either the help or sanction of any moneyed combination, however powerful. There is more telegraph business between these two cities than between any other two cities in the wojld. Our lower rates and better service will give us the bulk of t!us profitable business. The old line companies estimate the average cost to them per message to be aucut thirty cents. On the same volume of business the cost to the Telepost Would be only eleven cents over sixty per cent. less. Thus with the people behind us <*ir position m this fight is impregnable. Ihe profits will be unusually substantial and increasingly large front year to year.
