TREATMENT FOR THE TIRED


If you are over-tired-"too tired to
Sleep" as we sometimes say-bathe the
neck and temples with hot water. Battle
the back of the neck particularly. This
seems to relax the muscles and the veins
that supply the brain with blood. Lie
down to sleep in peace, for sleep will
come surely. The same treatment will
wonderfully refresh during the day. A
headache may often be relieved, even
cured, by hot applications to the back of
the neck

Good reason for Chewing.

She was good looking girl of Is, well
dressed and all that, and the man oppo-
site her on the car wondered why she
made spectacle of herself chewing gum
in such a public place.
She noticed that he was mentally crit.

with blush and whispered:

"That is perfectly right and proper,

paternal sympathy in his tones, and he
looked out of the window, and the CIR

The Shifting Snake.

A snake found in Africa is called the
splitting snake by the Beers. 1t is be-
tween two and three feet long and Is
especially bold and active, readily at
lacking every one who approaches it.
In confinement it is very savage, OPEN
Ing Its mouth and erecting its fangs,
from which the poison may be often
observed to drop and even sometimes
to be forcibly elected; whence the
name given 1t by the Beers.

IVeTs \ Pond Pianos.
The Conservatory Expands.

The New England Conservatory of
Music is about to move into its beautiful
new buildings on the Back Bay. This
Is the largest school of music in the
world, and its pre-eminerce among
American institutions has been conceded
ever since it was founded in 1858 by DR..
Eben Tourjee.
Twenty years ago, when the depart
ment of pianoforte instruction was being
developed, few Ivers Il Pond pianos
were purchased. Since then, as the con-
servatory has expanded, there have
gradually been acquired PCS lvers Il
Pond pianos. With the expansion in
cidental to moving into the new build
ing, the board of directors of the con-
servatory have placed their order for 81
additional Ivers & Pond pianos, making
a total of 299.
Higher tribute to this famous Boston
art product would be hardly possible
than 20 years continued patronage by
this most critical of musical institutions.

FOOD FOR CONSERVATIVE PEOPLE.

People with consumption almost in
variably eat too little, even less than
those in health, whereas they should eat
vastly more than the we'll. Nature
seems to be aware of this, for usually a
tuberculous patient can assimilats q
much larger quantity of food than a
healthy person. The food should be
taken in fairly large quantities and at
frequent intervals. Not more than three
or at most four hours should pass with
out the eating of something, if it Is only
a milk biscuit, sandwich, or banana.
A pitcher containing two glassfuls of
milk should stand on table near the
bed, so that glass may be taken in the
night If the patient wakes, and again be-
fore dressing in the morning. As much
milk as possible should also be TAKEN

Why Is 1t?

1t now develops that a number Of
the lateral sewers in the city are no,
low enough to drain the Easements
along Main street. In our simple
ity we thought this was one of the
purposes for which the sewers were
constructed. But it seems we were
mistaken. We notice the large sur
face drainage sewer recently placed
on the east side of Evergreen Ave.
was dug up this week and lowered.
Wonder way that was necessary? 1t
seems like it makes good deal
more work and expense to keep Dig
ging up and putting down again.
Some how it seems to US it would
be better to put these sewers and
drainage pipes down low enough to
do the work required in the first
place and not have to relay them
every few months. Possibly we have
a wrong view of the matter. We
think the great mistake in the sewer
problem was in not making the big
ditch the main sewer. Eventually
we will have to come to it and all
this present expense on the mains
will be lost.

settled back into its banks and again
the valley is clear of water, but 1t
is blackened, Shiny waste instead Of
waving wheat and growing corn as it
was before the flood. Last Tuesday a
few teams were driven into the city
from the east. Then they bad to
ford a considerable stream to get
though.
Aside from the damage to crops,
the various oil companies have suffer
ed considerable loss, as yet it is not
known Just how much. Everything
loose that would float is gone. Some
of the tanks are gone, we have not
learned now many. There is a sicken
ing odor from decaying vegetation
aud bodies Of small animals that per-
ished 10 the floods that makes it al
most impossible for man to remain
any length Of time on the low ground.
Farmers expect TO replow and plant
again as soon as the ground dries a
little. Cultivators have been run
ming most OF the week on the high
prairie and now work is being pushed
very rapidly. The crop does not seem
to be in as bad shape as would be ex-
pected from the long wet spell. There
is yet time for crop and our farmers
are still hopeful.
