DO Not sleep on Your Left side.

DO Not Sleep on Your Left side.
When patient complains of bad
taste in his mouth every morning on
waking up, says physician, the first
question I ask him is as to the position
he assumes when going to sleep. An
immense number of people sleep on
the left side, and this is the most COM
Fion cause Of the unpleasant taste
which is generally attributed to dys-
pepsia. If a meal has been taken with
tn W s'--,~o ho,1rs of going TO bed,
to sleep on the left side is to give the
stomach a task which it is difficult in
the extreme to perform. The student
Of anatomy knows that all food enters
and leaves the stomach on the right
side, and hence sleeping on the left
side soon after eating involves a sort
Of pumping operation which is any.
thing but conducive to sound repose.
The action of the heart is also inter
fered with considerably, and the lungs
are unduly compressed. 1t is probable
that lying on the back is the most nat
ural position, but few men can rest
easily so, and hence it Is best to culti-
vate the habit or sleeping on the right
side. 1t is very largely a matter Of
habit, and the sooner 1t is acquired the
better for the sleeper and the worse
for the physician.

The Bucket Shop.

have originated in Chicago when legit-
innate brokers would not handle an or

lot Of places sprang up where men of
small means could speculate on tri.
fling capital, as small as a dollar, and
these spectators were spoken Of con-
temptuously as buying and selling
wheat by the bucket full. The term
was eventually applied to all broker
age in stocks and grain when the
amounts dealt in were smaller THAI
legitimate dealers or brokers would
handle and more particularly to places
where there were really no legitimate

In setting out an orchard keep to

Good garden soil is good for pot

Weak rosebushes may often be made

In planting a border don't plant every

little water is better than too much.

In preparing pots for plants the

COLE YOUNGER ARRESTED.
A Charge Of EmbezzIement q
Result of a Quarrel.

Nevada, NO., Sept. 1.-The James
Younger Wild West show is appar-
emily upon the eve OF dissolution.
The management has secured the ar
rest Of Cole Younger, his nephew, b.
Y. Hall, and F. G. Lindenielder,
charging them with the embezzlement
Of $4,000. This action followed
suits filed against the show by
Younger for $25,0 900 aud James for
$4,000. The plaintiffs say they we're
damaged in these sums by the failure
OF the real owners to equip the show
according to contract and by the re-
fusal to drive away the graiters.
Both James and Younger say there
is absolutely nothing in the emil bezzle-
ment charge and speak OF it as a
purely retaliatory policy. They have
given out the following statements
Tor publication:
We have severed all connection
with the James. Younger Wild West
show. The managements were duly
notified to choose between grafters
and US. They refuse to eliminate the
grafters, hence we refuse to allow our
names to be used with thieving
outfit. FRANK JAMES,
COLE YOUNGER.
"For twenty-five years we have
lived exemplary lives and never shall
associate ourselves with thieves or
graiters, We have fought this thing
from the start and begged to run a
clean show. We have put up a stiff
fight for our honor and no two men
God Almighty ever breathed the
breath of life into have been under so
severe a strain trying to be right
with all mankind. We are willing to
die in righteous cause, but no man
shall rob or graft il we can prevent
lit.
"When started this aggregation
Chief Of Police O'Connor, OF st. Paul,
Minn., gave me careful instructions
to fight every possible suspicion OF a
graft, to run nothing but a clean
show, and | am glad to say l have
followed his instructions faithfully
to the letter. Younger never wanted
to 60 with the show at all; his desire
was to place himself on the higher
plane of the lecture platform, had
not the state forbid it. Our only
motive is honor, and we will keep
fighting for it. CRANK JAMES
