The Colonel Was Right.

A Kentucky colonel who was interviewed
in New York the other day said that Indian
apolis women have big noses and freckles;
that Terre Haute women have hands like
hams; that Chicago women have compilations
like corpses. and that in Philadelphia one has
to look twice to know whether it is a man or
woman. As to his statement regarding Phil
adelphia the colonel is right. When a Ken
lucky colonel strikes this town he is inva-
rably in such a condition that he cannot tell
trolley car from ferryboat. much less a
man from a woman. Again we remark that
the colonel is right. Philadelphia Press.

Sleep, according to l!s th@0ry. is cs

the fatigue Of the N"lV" cells which
communicate with the heart and

tirrly, over tho sleeper aW"kes, unless

According TO Roscnh2um's theory,
sleep is not only healthy because Of
the rest it gives the entire body, but
actually invigorating in itself. Those
who have imagined that elumhcr WAS
simply quiet and rest for an over
worked and tati%ucd mind or body
will be surprised to learn that the
scientists are divided il opinion as to
