4 New Resident of WashinEtOn Wants

"Say," inquired a man who recently

but less beautiful town, reports the

sen shops in this metropolis? I haven't
been able to find one, and I've secured
the town for them. Don't people that
dark in this burg? If they don't, it's
funny. My wife and l get ravenous
every night about ten o'clock, and as
neither of us believes in going to bed
hungry-we haven't got any house
keeping plant, only furnished rooms
we have to pile out and GO downtown to
get something to eat at a restaurant.
My wife had to dress, Of course, for this
expedition, which is in other respects
q nuisance and bother. Now, if there
were delicatessen shops in this town,
when we get hungry at night could
slip on my overcoat or macintosh over
my smoking jacket, and skate out for
bit of Neufchatel cheese, n can of sar-
dimes, some brittle crackers, smoked
tongue and stuff like that. and we al
ways have q case of something wet

SLEEP IS SOUNDEST.
A Physician Says 1t II When One
Dreams, Because Dreams Con-
troll the Drain.

THE popular idea CT impression is
that when persons dream much during
night to that extent their sleep is in
terfcred with" remarked a well-known
physician to a Washington Star re-
porter, land it is frequent thing to
hear persons say that they drea med so
much during the night that they did
not sleep or rest we'll. Now. the fact
is. dreaming is as much rest or mental
recreation as actual sleep in some re-
spects. although it may not appear so
on first thought. 1t is hard to proveI
this by actual experiment, because the
conditions are so difficult to produce.
There is certain amount of evidence
which can be used, however, to prove
the proposition. Time and time again
when persons have been walked up by
others they have explained as a reason
that they did not respond quicker that
they did not hear the CARL. 1t is as
clearly proved as anything can be that
persons who are in dreamy condition
are much harder to wake than those
who are sleeping, as they suppose,
soundly. Take parent, for instance n
mother. when she is sleeping soundly,
as she thinks, she can hear her child
when it turns over or moves in its crib.
Now, the same parent in dreamy con-
dition would hardly hear a knock at the
door or other loud noise. The dream so
controls the brain that during it's PEN
dency the sense OF hearing is blunted."
