HAT sleep is conducive to health and beauty is evidenced by the thin; bloodless, haggard condi- tion of those suffering from insomnia or lack of natural sleep. -“Poor nights” result in sallow skin, lack-hustre eyes, bad taste in the mouth, crumpled muscles, dull head and other symptoms indicative of a self-evident fact—we sleep, but it was a profitless sleep in which nature was unable to do more than induce this daily period of unconsciousness, but during which time she was, hampered; that repair of wasted tissue and res- tofation of tired nerves and manufac- ture of red corpuscles, &c., was im- possible, What are the factors that invite natural profitable sleep?

The Mayor feels that he has been insulted. He has taken offense at a song rendered by one, of the performers in the local minstrel show held Wednesday eve- ning in Hugus Hall, The show was for the benefit of the Civic Reform Section of the Women’s Betterment League and was put on by women. At one point in the performance Liztle MeKootch, one of the “bones” end ladies,-sang a song called “Our City Officlals.” Just who wrote it Mayor Walker hasn't been able to learn, but he is trying his hardest to find out. He wants to publicly de- nounce him. : It was one verse about himself that provoked the Mayor. It went like this: . ‘Mayor Walker's full of laughter, Bome folks say he is a fine man. The audience thought the finish should have been “grafter’ to make the rhyme right, and they whooped in glee. When the noise subsided Mr. Walker stood up. “That song is libelous,” he shouted. “Because it. side-steps the issue?" asked Mel Higgins, an anti-Walker Democrat. The Mayor became furious. He saw in Higgins's words a plot to discredit him in the eyes of the people of Delhi. “Is Constable Pelee Brown in the hall?” he asked. “Here, sir!” replied Brown. “Arrest that man!” Brown flew at Higgins. A fight fol- lowed, in which the brave Constable was floored four times and pushed over three chairs, but he quelled his man by promising to introduce him to widow Hartley, who owns a big ranch near Delhi, The Mayor offers to stand investi- gation as to his record. Some people laugh at this: The incident has set the whole town talking. There is much indignation, truth. A popular belief that night air is bad air is one of the fallacies diff- cult to overthrow. As a matter of fact, night air is much purer than day air, and wherever it is possible to sleep with one’s head out of doors this should be done. A third consideration in inviting normal slumber is to empty the miné of all distracting thoughts, Sleep is only profitable when the con- sciousness is completely at rest. The day's work and worry must all be left behind when we enter the Land of Nod; otherwise fitful, restless, broken slumbers follow. Little children and animals in- stinctively fall into natural positions when composing themselves to rest. It is a great pity that this instinct is lost as human beings reach maturity. The natural posture is to lie on the abdomen or the right side inclining toward the abdomen, with the limbs outstretched. This insures a perfect balance of the circulatory system. Lying on the left side interferes with the heart's action, while lying on the back results in nightmares and bad dreams and induces snoring as well, rn RTO carrying F°: NEWEST INVENTIONS heavy hand bags a new device encir- cles the wrist and enables the weight to be Iifted to it from a person fingers.

Jarr, “You would stay out late last night; you were playing pinochle and per- Taps your friends had liquor iile- gally; well, serves you right." Mr. Jarr only sighed and said neth- ing. What's the use to say any- thing? “Go to the medicine closet and také some quinine!” suggested Mra.

I can't find any quin ine!" #h ted Mr. Jarr as he knoaked over and out on the floor a little avalanche of bottles, boxes and pow- ders “My goodness!
