HOW TO WOO SLEEP.
Rules by Which Victims of InsOm mia
May Find Relief.

The immediate cause of insomnia is
abnormal activity of the brain, which
draws an undue amount of blood to
that organ. Cold feet usually accom-
pany heated brain. To re-establish
normal conditions the tension must be
removed and the blood drawn from the
brain to the extremties, thus equaliz-
Ing circulation.
A scientist who studies brain flag
recommends gymnastic exercise to pre-
cede repose. The following exercises,
each repeated several times, are rec
ommended: Standing normally, inhale
slowly. Vigorously stretch the arms
out horizontally from the shoulders,
energizing them to the finger tips At
the same time rise on the balls Of the
feet.
After remaining inotaohless for few
moments slowly relax the arms return
to the normal poise and exhale Stretch
the arms in front of the body and re-
peat the exercise; also stretch them d.
rectly upward and repeat. Unite the
three movements Of the arms, raising
them horizontally forward and up

Next stand with the weight on one
foot. Extend the other a long step
diagonally forward, touching the toe
to the ground. Partially transfer the
weight to the forward foot, at the
same time bend that knee as much as
possible and raise the heel high from
the ground, keeping the whole of the
back foot on the ground until this posi-
ton Of the bent knee and the raised
heel Of the forward leg is firmly taken.
Then gradually pull all but the toe
Of the back foot from the ground,
while pressing down forcibly. as If
overcoming a strong resistance, with
the forward leg. The forward knee
straightens, the whole foot comes to
the ground and the weight is trans
ferred to the forward leg during the
movement. Slowly transfer the weight
to the back leg. forcibly pushing that
foot to the ground as the heel Of the
forward foot rises.
If sufficient force is eXerted in press
ing the feet to the ground. after five
minutes practice they will glow and
tingle. That the extremities be warm

Saving for a Home.

How did we do it? Simply by going
without everything we needed. When |
was first married my salary was $50
month.
My mother-in-law, who lived with me
decided to save enough of my salary to
build us home.
When the cellar was finished [ became

mortgage the cellar to make my first pay
ment.
Although we went without food for
thirty days the first year, we never missed
monthly payment.
The taxes and interest on mortgage and
monthly payment on house were now three
times the amount of my earnings.
However, by dispensing with the ser
vices Of doctor we lost our father and
mother-in-law, which so reduced our ex-
penses that we were able to pay for the
parlor floor and windows.

Lock Haven Horse Wins Again.

A dispatch from New York dated
August IS says that the opening of the
annual races of the New York Trotting
Association at Brighton Beech was
above the average, and the best con-
test of the day from the horsemen's
standpoint was the race for the $4,000
Hirman Woodruff stakes, at mile heats,
three in five, for which nine horses
scored at the start Of the first heat.
The event was stretched out to a
long struggle of five heats, and every
heat made horse race, with Jay Nc
Gregor and John Taylor fighting out
at the finish of each mile. Jay Nc
Gregcr won the first two heats, and
John Taylor, who was after him, and a
close second each time, then wore
down the Kentucky horse, and by
taking the next three heats captured
the winners share of the big prize.
J. @. Merrill of this city is the owner
of John Taylor and he has won several
fat purses for his owner during the
season and is entered for many other
races. Lock Haven Times.

few opportunities, and at the same
time it will benefit thousands of homes
by the spread of this knowledge.
Every village and township in near
by States may ultimately be reached
and helped in this way.
Theundertakingi involves the expend
iture of large sums of money, but veal
thy and influential men and women in
the four States named stand ready to
carry the plans to fruition.
One hundred thousand dollars has
already been guaranteed and more
funds are assured.

Letter to K. II. Hirsch.
Emporium, Pa.

Dear Sir: Messrs. Leachman e. Eide
lin, Grafton, w. Va, had been selling a
paint which they thought well of and
this had occurred:
They had sold customer Is gallons,
of it to paint his house. A few years
later, they sold the same man Devoe lead
and zinc the same number of gallons to
paint the same house. He had Z gal
Ions left.
The point of the tale is; II gallons De-
voc paints an Is gallon house.
OF course, that isn't all.
Why docs / gallons Devoe go as far
as Is gallons of other paint? Because it
is all paint, all true, no sham, and full
measure.
But that isn't all. Devoe lasts longer
No, no; you haven't got to wait ten years
to find that out Ten thousand people
know it. We've got their names. Our
agents know them; they think heap of
Devoe. There's no difficulty in showing
your townspeoplo what TO expect of De
voc. SO will paint S15 house, and
the paint'll last twice as .ong.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE & Co.
P. S. Murry & Coppersmith sell our

Strange Animal Captured.

The other evening G. G. Feeling, the
marble man, while sitting in front of
his place of business on Henderson
street, Lock Haven saw an animal re.
semblinga a large rat, slowly pass across
the walk. A closer inspection reveal
ed that it was not rat, and instead of
kicking the animal, as he intended
doing, Peeling picked it up and took it
into his shop, as it appeared to be
either quiet tame or i'll and now he re-
CARDS it as quite pet. Since then the
captor has been looking up "animol-
ogy" and says the critter is "biho-
gle,n native Of South America and
unknown in this climate. 1t is much
larger than rat, has web feet, its
body is covered with soft dark fur and
Cramer stoutly resents the insinuation
that the animal is nothing more than a
musk rat. The only food the little
fellow seems to relish is bananas.

Sunday School Work In Cameron County.

The smallest number of Sunday
schools in any county in the State is in
Cameron county. They have only ff-
teen. Yet the annual convention which
met at Driftwood, May 27, revealed the
fact that little Cameron in several respects
is the banner county of the State. 1t is
the only county in the State having a
lady for president, Mrs. Mary Hall, of
Driftwood. Mrs. Hall, with Mrs. j. f..
Smith, the county secretary, has certain
ly done marvellous work. They pre-
pared an excellent convention program.
Besides the General Secretary and Mrs.
A. NJ. Drinkwater, who represented the
State Association, excellent addresses
were made by Rev. Robertson, the Epis-
copal Rector OF Emporium, Revs. Metz
Ter and McCaslin, of the same place, and
Mr.. Josiah Howard, the most prominent
lumberman of that part of the State.
They secured report from each OF the
fifteen schools by simply writing once to
each superintendent The most marvel
GUS of all is the fact that they secured
over $50 for State Work. One school
of less than 100 members gave SIS.
The first completed report sent to the Of
fee was that from Cameron county.
With the same officers they are going on
to even better things.-Pennsylvania

Probable improvements.

A story from Clearfeld is to the effect
that great changes and improvements arc
being planned for the river branch Of the
New York Central, which extends from
Clearfeld to Heating. 1t is said that
owing to the largely increasing business,
a double track on the new road is abso-
lutely necessary, The lying of this track
would involve great expense, and it is
possible that several of the tunnels might
be widened A number of the bridges
would have to be rebuilt also.-Lock

Mother of "Coal Oil Johnny" Resi-

Among a number of old ladies of the
Second Ward who visited Ponce de Leon
Springs, Thursday afternoon, and took
supper at OakwOod park, was Mrs. Maria
Anon, who lives with her daughter, Mrs.
Samuel B. Moore, at No 436 North
street. Mrs. Anon has been a resident
of Meadville several years, and yet it may
not be generally known that she is the
mother of one of the most eccentric char
acters developed in the oil regions of
Pennsylvania-John Steele, better known
as Goal Oil Johnny" Mrs. Anon was
twice married, and her first husbands
name was Steele. The name of the sec
ond husband was Anon and both hus-
bands are dead. Mrs. Anon was born
in May, 1919, and the age of 81 finds
her in good health and spirits. The ca
reer of her famous son has often been
referred to and the story of his sudden
leap from poor boy to the possession of
almost fabulous wealth, and the means he
employed to put his millions in circulation
is a familiar one-Meadville Tribune.
