Why We Cannot Sleep.

Everything which increases the
amount of blood ordinarily circu lated
through the brain has tenden cy TO
cause wakefulness. If the brain is Of
ten kept for long periods on the stretch,
during which the vessels are filled to
repletion, they cannot contract even
when the exciting causes cease.
Wakefulness, as a consequence, results,
and every day the condition of the in
dividual becomes worse, because time
brings the force of habit inte operation.
Everything that tends to throw the
blood to.the brain and to accumulate it
there should be avoided. Tight or ILL
fitting articles Of dress, especially
about the neck or waste, and tight
boots and shoes, should be discarded
the feet should be kept warm so that
the circulation may be promoted.
Wearing cork soles in the boots or
shoes and changing the socks every
day are excellent means to this end
and strongly recommended. There
are various causes acting on the brain
equally iuimical to sleep; whatever,
keeps the attention fully aroused keeps
the blood vessel of the brain disten
ded, and the consequences of that we
knoM. On the other hand, when the
mind is quieted, the tendency of the
the vessels is to contract and for sleep
to follow.

Mans Best Friend.

First and foremost woman is mans
best friend:
Because she is his mother:
Second, because she is his wife.
Because she is patient with him in
illness, endures his fretfulness and
"motheIs" him.
Because she can with him endure
PAIN quietly and meet JOY glanly.
Because she teaches him the value
of gentle words, of kindly thought and
of consideration.
Because on her bIeast he can shed
tears of repentance, and is never re.
minded of them afterward.
Because she will stick to a man
through good and evil report, and al
ways believes in him, if she loves him.
Because, when he is behaving like
a fretful boy-and they all do, you
know, at times-with no reason in the
world for it, woman's soft word, touch
or glance, will make him ashamed of
himself, as he aught to be.
Because, without her as an incentive,
he would grow lazy; there would be
no beautiful pictures painted, there
would he no strains of melody.
Because-and this is the best reason
of all-when the world had reached an
state of wickedness the
blessed task of bringing it Savior for
all mankind was given to a woman,
which was Gods way of setting His
seal of approval on her who is mother,
wife, daughter and sweetheart, and,
therefore, mans best friend

be cheaper than they are at present, but rath.

To make a watch worth 500 requires op.

with streaming eyes, implored his as

feared there was little chance for his sal

OccasiOD-But Two Days More.
There was a goodly crowd at the Asso-
ciated Hospital Bazaar last night, and
even during the afternoon, damp and
dreary though it was. the scene in the
Armory drill hall was quite animated.
The feature last night was the attend
ance in body Of the Shriners of Acca
Temple. They marched into the hall two
by two shortly after 10 o'clock, headed
by the Blues Band, playing Dixie" The
usual session of the shrine had been held
at the Masonic Temple, and one candidate
had been taken across the burning sands.
AS is usual on such occasions the session
was followed by a supper, and by arrange
ment with the ladies of the bazaar the
supper was served in the restaurant
Eighty-seven shriners were present, and
they were loud in their praises Of the
menu and excellent service. The visitors
wore dress suits and fez.
Tonight Company Is will attend the
bazaar in full dress uniform, and the
squad of little girls will also be present
There will be dancing and other attrac-
tions, and some rare bargains will be OF
fered.
The rattle Of the very handsome cut

take place at 10 o'clock on Saturday night,
instead OF tonight, as announced. Excite
