The Useful Yawn.

A good. wide, open-mouthed yawn is a
splendid thing for the whole body. yawn
is natures demand for rest Some people
think they only yawn because they are
sleepy. But this Is not So You yaWn be-
cause you tired. You may be sleepy
also, but that is not the real cause of Your
yawning. You are sleepy because YOU are
tired, and you yawn because you are tired
Whenever you feel like yawning lust
yawn. Don't try TO suppress it because YOU
think it is impolite to yawn. Put your hand
over your mouth If you want to, but let the
yawn come. And If you are where you can
stretch at the same time that you yaWn.
just stretch and yawn. This is natures
way of stretching and relaxing the muscles
Don't be afraid to open your mouth wide
and yawn and stretch whenever YOU feel
like 1T. Indeed, If you very tired but
do not feel like yawning, there is nothing
that will rest you so quickly as to sit on a
straight-back chair and, lifting the feet
from the floor, push them out in front of
you as far as possible, stretch the arms
put the head back, open the mouth wide.
and make yourself yawn.
Those tense nerves will relax, the con-
tracted muscles will stretch. and the whole
body will be rested. Do this two or three
times when you are tired and see what it
will do for you.

HARD ON CHRONIC BEATS.
just Debts are Easily Collected in
Chicago i'm a Short Time.

New York Telegram.
Although some constables and collection
agencies have thrown discredit upon the
creditors end of a debt transaction there
is no city in the United States in which it
is easy to collect a just debt as it is in
Chicago.
A creditor who has a good claim can al
ways get his money within two months. IL
he has an unjust claim, and if the debtor
wants TO fight and can afford a lawyer and
knows enough to go to the charitable organi-
cations that are glad TO protect the de-
fenseless, the creditors can never collect
the claim
But if the debt is a just one there is
nothing easier than it's collection. The
creditor need not go TO the expense of
lawyer. Anyone can begin a suit in a JUS
tice court if the amount of the claim is less
than $500
The creditor files suit in the Justices
court and a constable takes a summons to
the debtor. This service costs 81 and the
justice is entitled to another dollor
If the debtor does not come into court
on the day set for trial all that the creditor
has 10 do is to swear to the amount of the
claim. The justice then renders judgment
and enters up the constable's fees and his
own. He then issues an execution, which
is good against the goods of the debtor. or
a garnishee. which takes the amount of
his claim out of the wages due him if he
is working for wages.
OF course the debtor may appeal. He has
twenty days from the day OF the judgment
in which to carry his case into the higher
court. He must put up bond ard pay $11
for the appeal Few men who owe just
debts are willing TO do this, for in the end
they know that they will have 10 pay the
original claim, with perhaps 100 per cent.
more in costs of the various courts. But
If the claim is unjust the creditor will be
beaten in the upper court, and it will be he
who will have to liquidate the fees.
The debtor can claim exemption for 800
worth of personal property and for enough
money out of his wages upon which to sup
port his family.
But if he has a piano or an automobile
or horse or anything that he really does
not need the creditor may take 1t. Claims
for work and labor are the easiest to col
lect Claims that money lenders have are
the hardest.
Chicago justices agree that for rapidity
the Chicago method Of collecting lust debts
discounts that in use in any city in the
country. But they insist that if debtor
knows his business and does not owe all
the money that the creditor claims. he need
never pay more than he justly owes.
But the honest creditor is not frightened
by the debtors appeal. While in ordinary
cases it is seldom less than two years be-
fore the case is reached, it can be placed
on the short cause calendar in the Circuit
Court upon appeal, and reached in couple
of months. Cases which can be tried in
less than one hour go upon this short
cause calendar. Three months at the out
side is thus the time in which just credi-
tor can collect his just debt.

I'm an orderly manner.
The firm action of the police prevented the
gathering of manifestants on the Place de
IOpera. Only scattered groups OF strikers
made their way to the place and there was
no disorder. The bakers this afternoon at
tempted to make manifestation in front OF
the Luxembourg Palace, where the Senate
was sitting, but 500 mounted police took
possession OF the surrounding streets and
the project OF police, NJ. Lepine, personally
conducted a rigid suppression Of the dis
order. Groups of persons above five in num-
Der were prevented from gathering, and a
number Of arrests were made. The action
of the police completely broke up the DEM

The proprietors of the bakeries say they

evening, but they were easily suppressed.
The total arrests made during the day was
124. but many OF those taken into custody
were released.
