At an Abnormal Angle.

Any one who rests his head on pill
low and bolster while he is sleeping is
slowly but surely committing suicide,
says French physician. The only nat
ural position for a man while sleeping
is the horizontal one, and the first thing
to do in order to accustom ones self to
it is to remove the bolster. Within a
few months one will be able to sleep
much more calmly than ever before
and, moreover, the general health will
be much improved. This statement is
not made lightly, but Is the result of
long experience. The next step is to re-
move the pillow, for not until then will
the circulation of the blood be as free
as it should be. The pillow and bolster
keep the head and neck at an abnormal
angle, and consequently the sleeper's
entire body remains during the night
in an uncomfortable position, and one
which impedes the free course of the
blood through the vessels and organs.

every one knows, Smith is a fine old
Scotchman, who worships the memory
Of "Bobbie" Burns. and has probably
the finest and most complete collection
Of editions of Burns works in the
world.
When, therefore, the new member

WINDS LIKE A WATCH.

In Santa Anna. Cal, is a man who
has built for his own use an automobile
that is certainly curiosity. 1t is built
on the Waterbury watch idea. Its pro-
pelling power comes from huge
spring. There are three other smaller
springs from which power is also OBJ
tanned 1t uses no fuel, and all that is
necessary to get it ready for the start
is to work a lever which winds up the
spring.
The Santa Anna man has made nu-
merOus excursions on country roads
with his curious little machine, and
has never had a breakdown. The en-
tire machine weight but 40 pounds.
and it has attained speed Of fifteen
miles an hour on a level road. 1t is
not good at hill climbing.
The machine will run under ordinary
circumstances about ten miles on one
winding. The inventor does not claim
that he has made any great discovery,
and does not propose to build machines
for the market. He built this one for
his own use and amusement.
