COVERING DURING SLEEP.
Blankets Are Substitutes for slower
Circulation.

The reason it is necessary to be well
covered while sleeping is that when the
body lies down it is the intention of ma
ture that it should rest, and the heart
especially should be relieved of its regular
work temporarily. So that organ makes
10 strokes a minute less than when the
body is in an upright posture. This means
600 strokes in 90 minutes. Therefore, in
the eight hours that man usually spends
in taking his nights rest, the heart is
saved nearly 5000 strokes. As it pumps
six ounces of blood with each stroke, it
lifts 10000 ounces less of blood in this
nights session than it would during the
day, when man is usually in an upright
position. Now, the body is dependent for
its warmth on the vigor of the circulation
and as the blood flows SO much more slow.
lv through the veins when one is lying
down the warmth lost in the reduced cir
culation must be supplied by extra cover
ings.

Washington, July 1.-THE last detach-
ment of troops for Manila emitting the
Washington men probably settles for good
that they will not go. The Wyoming and
Idaho senator's have worked night and
day to get their men sent and, like Utah,
failed. While the department says there
is no truth in the report of Indian upris-
ings, the regular army officers who have
been in the Indian country and are now
on duty in the department here insist
that some troops should be kept on the
Pacific coast in readiness for such pos
sible, though not probable, contingency.

Reno will not only contribute literally
in money, but what is Of more impor-

generously in energy and enthusiasm
and at all times speak a word Tor the
success of this meeting. Further We ask
every citizen CT this county TO help by

The Nevada Girl.

Among all the girls who adorn the
globe the Nevada girl is the peach par
excellence. We are led to make this
declaration after a ten thousand mile
peragration. We have seen tons and
miles of girls and yet say they are all
lost in the splendor that shines in the
eyes of our sagebrush maidens or the
glow that comes from the cheeks Of the
magnificent womanhooi OF this State.
The contrast between the sallow-faced,
starved-bust, Underground, four-and-
o~ne-half-foot female OF other climes,
and our rosy-cheeked, full-blooded, Wig
orous thoroughbreds, is something very
marked and very wonderful. 1t takes
our broad valleys, II high mountains,
our measureless plains, our abundance
Of pure air, to give the world our essence
OF the best as exemplified in our girls.
Here where every one of them has two
square miles to herself, without elbowing
any other, the sense of freedom, best
incentive to best development physi-
cally, morally and intellectually, is her
glorious heritage, making her tho peer
OF the world.
While the Omaha Exposition was in
its preparatory stages the managers sent
invitations to the commissioners in the
various Western States to choose judges
to select two of the fairest women in
each state and procure their photographs.
Forty-four Photographic, representative
Of the beautiful women of twenty-five
states, were sent TO Omaha.
From these a complete photograph
was made, and thus the engraving on
the %souveneir medal pictures the best
type of Western young wo~manhood.
The Youths Companion says:
Hers is a beautiful face, hut it is
much more. 1t speaks of refinement,
intelligence, resolution, sincerity; it is
alert, courageous, progressive--the face
Of a woman who would bear a brave
part in the u%pbuilding of q great ma
tion." OF such is the Nevada girl.
