@Show me the man who said we were

a man in an Eaton saloon last Saturday,

you looked at tonight, I'll burst your
head wide open."-Ex.

sores, all over my body" Mr.. Carter

Ayers Sarsaparilla, and since discontin-

Within the last week we have added
many new names as subscribers to the
DEMOCRAT. Our list is growing weekly,
for which we return sincere thanks to
many of our old patrons who are inter.
esting themselves in its behalf. Send
in the names, friends. There are hun
dreds of Democrats in the County who
do not take the paper, but ought to do
so. We will spare no effort to make the
DEMOCRAT worthy a place in every house
hold in Preble County.
The depth of sleep has been the novel
subject of investigation by two promi'
nent physicians, working upon the prin,
ciple that the depth of sleep is proper
tional to the sound required to awaken
Ingenious experiments showed that, with
a perfectly healthy man, slumber during
the first hour is very light, after an houl
and a quarter the depth of sleep increas
es rapidly and reaches its maximum al
one and three-quarters hours. The slum'
Der then lightens gradually, but reaction
into a deeper sleep occurs after five ant
a half hours of repose, after which grad
ual awakening proceeds. %Imperfec
health or unusual exertion producec
marked Irregularities.
