THE DRUMMOND ABSORBED
Tobacco Trust Takes in Another Big
Concern.

st. Louis, Oct. 1.-THE much rumored
sale of the Drummond Tobacco COM
pany's plant to the American Tobacco
company has been consummated. The
cash price was 9.547. 500, paid by the
American Tobacco company in certified
checks drawn to the order of Harrison
E. Drummond, president of the now
defunct company. The sale of the
Drummond Tobacco company was out
right. There were no stock considera-
tions. The American Tobacco COM
pany simply paid SO, 457, 500 in cash for
the real estate, plant. buildings, stock
in trade and good will of the Drum
mond company, and the stock of the
latter ceases to be of value.
President Duke, of the American To-
bacco company, announces that there
will be no change in the personnel of
the officers staff of the concern, even
Mr.. DrummOnd remaining as manager
at a salary and later will become an Of
ficer and a member of the board of di-
rectOrS.
The interest of the Drummond family
in the company was II per cent of the
capital stock. Their share of the pur-
chase price, therefore, is 81, 354, 1925.
"Wiu you now try to buy the Liggett
& Myers plant?" was asked of Presi-
dent Duke of the American Tobacco
company.

THE DRESS OF QUAKERS.
Their Quiet Garb Was Intended as
Protest Against Extravaganza
in Clothing.

The dress of erism-that is to
say, the garb and speech which have
always been additionally associated
with the sect-may well be treated
first, though not of the highest order
of Importance, because these go to
form the first Gotten the only i'm
pressions of those whose knowledge
is confined to what has been seen only.
The use of the quietest styles, as was
common in FOX's day, and of garments
differing widely from the fashions of
later times, was "a part of the strong
protest which the early Friends felt
called upon to make against the scan
dalous and criminal license of the res
toration period in England, when the
whole of polite" society, following
the lead of the button King Charles
H., seemed determined to turn into
contempt all that for which Puritan
ism had stood, its politics and govern
ment, its morals and religion. In these
days it viii be admitted by most of
the adherehts of the sect that the pro-
test or 'testimony" as to plainness
of apparel is to be viewed in the light
of its higher meaning. :. . Not long

show that it was necessary for fash

support the families of 200 skilled
workingmen for the same length of
time, and that the mistress of such an

SLEEP WALKING.
A Dangerous Habit That May II
Broken with Proper
Treatment.

Sleep walking, or somnambulism, D
neither so common nor so entertain
ing a habit as readers of certain kim
of stories might be induced to believe
1t is, as little refiect will convinct
us, a habit, or we might even say {
malady, which exposes its victim tt
great peril.
The somnambulist is in a condition
very similar TO that of a hypnotized oil
mesmerized person. The action of the
mind is greatly restricted, in that the
reasoning faculty is almost complete,
ly in allegiance, and everything the per,
son does is purely automatic and per-
formed under the influence of single
idea.
But the very fact that the mind,
crippled as its powers are, acts solely
in one direction and is not distracted
by external impressions, makes the
persons actions more certain than
they would be in a waking state. Thus
somnambulist may walk along thd
edge of roof with perfect steadiness,
while, if awake, he would certainly
turn dizzy and fall. So, too, in total
ly dark room, the sleep walker will
often move about without stumtGxs
against chairs or tables. or viii seat
himself at a desk or stand holding
many objects without upsetting one.
Although we do not know with GER
tainty the condition of the brain in
somrambulism, observation has
taught us to recognize many of the
causes which induce it, and so to con-
troll the habit in great measure. These
causes may be mental. such as worry
brooding over one idea, and hard
study, especially late at night; OF
physical, such as late suppers, INSULT
cient exercise, and sleeping with the
head too low.
Most sleep walkers are either of
nervous constitution, or have received
some severe shock, great grief or i'm
moderate JOY, which was temporarily
disturbed their nervous equilibrium.
The young of both sexes are most sub
iect to sleep walking. and when the
habit is found in youth it is usually
outgrown in a few years.
The confirmed somnambulist should
avoid all the mental and physical
causes above mentioned The bed
clothing should be light, the sleeping
room of good size and well ventilated.
Much time should be passed in the
open air, and over-applcation to
studies must be carefully avoided.
In obstinate cases the pat ,ent should
not be left alone at night, and doors
and windows should be securely fas-
tened. If he is discovered out of bed
he should be gently guided back, and
should not be Weakened until once more
lying down.-Youth's Companion.

EYE LANGUAGE.
A More Truthful Exponent of the
Inward Thoughts Than the
Tongue.

No part of the human cOuntenance
engages our attention so frequently
as the eyes When face to face in con
versation, we do not look at the lips
although, as a rule, the attention is
very quickly taken by any movement
but at the eyes of the person with
whom we are speaking. SO much is
this the case that the habit of many
deaf people of watching the mouth al
ways strikes us as peculiar. In fact,
one usually feels that there is sense
of incompletenesS in the association
of mind with mind by means of cOn'
versation if there is not continual
interchange of chances making kind
of running commentary on the words
spoken. The same may be said of or
binary greetings when two people
shake hands Unless there is at the
same moment meeting of friendly
looks the ceremony loses much of its
meaning.
Now. why is there this continual
meeting of eyes accompanying all
kinds of human intercourse? Partly.
no doubt, it is attributable to GER
tain habits Of comparatively recent
date. The eye, the window of the
soul" is a more truthful exponent OF
the inward thoughts than the tongue.
and seeing that speech is very fire,
quently used not to tell the thoughts
but to conceal them. we look to the
eve for confirmation or the reverse
of what our ears are taking liz
