it is known in a general way that the
general results were highly satisfsc-

ASLEEP In MIDAlR.
workman Takes Nap in
swinging Chair While Repair
Ing Church spire.

Thomas Eaton took a nap the other
day and lost his position. Had he lost
his position a few moments sooner he
would be dead. Eaton was engaged in
plastering the crevices in the stone
tower of Trinity church, on Sixth av-
enue, Pittsburg. He was suspended in
a swinging chair 100 feet above the
sidewalk. The soft, Indian summer
wind swung the chair back and forth.
Eaton looked down, saw the boss was
not watching, and fell asleep.
How long his nap lasted no one
knows. A small boy on the sidewalk
finally discovered that the man was
not making much progress with his
work. The contractor was notified,
and a crowd began to gather. The
chair was swinging out from the
steeple in the wind and Eaton's head
was rolling back.
His fellow workmen were summoned d
and rescuing party ascended the
spire.
One Of the workmen crept up the
steeple, using the metal ornaments as
foot rests, and reached Eaton. A rope
was thrown to him and he tied the
sleeper securely in his chair and again
| descended.
Eaton, still snoring peacefully, was
lowered to the ground. The crowt
gathered around him. The foreman
shook him. He awoke, rubbed his eyes
stretched, and then was discharged fol
sleeping on duty.

to give the best results" If the food
you eat remains undigested in your
stomach it decays there and poisons
the system. You can prevent this by
dieting but that means starvation.
