TIE POLICE.
order issued by MARSHA, Andrews.


1t is stated by the police force that Marshal
Andrews statement to tie effect that the
decrease of drunkenness, some 331 per cent,
the past year is due to the enforcement of
the law, is not true. At the first of the year.
they say, when the Marshal saw the number
of arrests for drunkenness, he was very
angry and wanted to know why the law was
not enforced, and yet he knew the men were
doing all that was expected of them. The
men, however, quickly caught on to his
idea and did not arrest men for drunkenness
unless boisterous, but helped them home,
and that is the real reason for the decrease.
Yesterday the Marshal issued the follow
ing order:

MINGLING STOOK. to be per-
fectly healthy, must have an opportunity
of mingling with otheT living things, OF
various kinds. The old idea OF the
healthy effect goats have upon stabbed
horses is only one phase of great truth,
that it takes the emanations Of an active
life to perfect every other life. Cattle
should be pastured near or in conjunc-
tion with hogs and horses. The action
of one upon another is always beneficial; I;
ard the young, playful and sociabls al
ways make friends with each other in
such way that much future inconven-
| ience may be spared the owner. Pus
sheep and young cattle together and
each will grow In strength one-third
| faster. Put horses and goats or even
young cattle in the same lot and eact
| will grow the better, will feed easier
and will grow with finer results. When
ever the natural instincts of domestic
animals can have play they tend to con
fdence and general affection for all liv
ing forms. a cat is the only thint
which loves no other animals; if 1t en-
dures them 1t is a stretch of magnan
unity which actually contradicts its hon
est nature.

How TO Cure SIeepIessness.

Saws writer in the FOrtnigttly Re
riclg: When sleeplessnesS is trouble
some relief should be sought for In the
discovery and removal OF the cause,
whenever possible. The condition Is
often due to indigestion, and, when this
is the case. the ordinary remedies for
inducing sleep are worse than useless.
The nervous relations between the brain
and the stomach are so intimate that
disorder of the one organ is almost Ger
tain TO affect the other. Excitement.
worry. and anxiety, which have their
/ seat in the brain, interfere with the
/ functions Of the stomach, and in like
/ manner anything that unduly taxes the
mower of or irritates the stomach disor-
/ ders the circulation and nutrition of the
brain. The sIeeplessness often com
plained of by gouty persons is due to
the poisonous effect of the morbid ma
terial upon The nervous system. EXces
siye smoking, too much alcohol, tea and
coffee. often resOrted to by OVerworked
persons, are frequent causes of sleepless
removable, while the effect may IN
q counteracted by appropriate treatment
Nothing is more mischievOus, however
3 than to continue the habits, and to haY
l | recourse to drugs to combat the effects
