BED COVERINGS.

The main use of the coverings at
night is to give the body the warmth
that is lost by the reduced circulation
of the blood. When the body lies
down it is the intention Of Nature that
It should rest, and that the heart es-
pecially should be relieved temporar-
lily of its regular work. So that organ
makes ten strokes per minute less
than when the body Is in an upright
position. This means six hundred
strokes in sixty minutes. Therefore,
in the eight hours that a man usually
spends in taking a nights rest, the
heart is saved nearly five thousand
strokes AS it pumps SIX ounces OF
blood with each stroke. it lifts thirty
thousand ounces less of blood in the
nights session than it would during
the day, when a man is usually in an
upright position. Now the body is de
pendent on its warmth for the vigor
of the circulation, and as the blood
flows SO much more slowly through
the veins when one is lying down, the
warmth lost in the reduced circula-
ton must be supplied by extra cover
ings.-American Cultivator.

Conditions are not entirely relieved
of features which hinder progress in
several industries, yet current devel-
opments are encouraging and the tone
Of trade indicates growing confidence.
Improvement is seen in the new de-
mands for early distribution Of neces-
stiles, while some of the factories are
called upon for greater output, espe-
cially in steel and wood work.
Leading retail lines have been stim-
ulated throughout the middle West
and the seasonable weathers brought
a considerable reduction of merchan-
disc stocks, the clearance being Of
good volume in clothing, shoes and
women's wear. Visiting buyers ap-
peared in larger numbers, and. while
they selected needs very carefully,
their orders made material addition
to wholesale transactions.

4 Rsal,stic Tale.

The successful actor is always the
one who can bring his audience into
the very atmosphere of the play, sway
Ing its feelings according to the spirit
of his part. Such was young Sun
day-school teacher who told the infant
class the story of Moses shifting the
rock.
With the help Of charts and q vivid
power Of description, she presented to
the small folk a touching picture of
the misery brought upon the children
of Israel through the lack of water.
She told of the thirst of the little
children, the piteous suffering of the
babies and the dumb agony of the an
imals. Then, in bright contrast, she
drew the scene of relief and joy as the
clear spring issued from the rock.
1.-The children stopped down and
scooped up the cool drink in their tiny
hands; the babies laughed as their
mothers wet their hot little lips; and
the dogs wagged their tails in delight
as they thrust their noses into the
stream, and drew in long, refreshing
draughts."
Here the teacher became aware of a
sound of weeping, which proceeded
from small girl in the corner, and
stopped her narrative to inquire the
cause.

Esprit de Corps"

All the tiny cripples in the neighbos,
hood of the settlement house, together
with a few able-bodied children, had
been feasted on cake and lemonade.
When one of the deformed mites was
ready to go home he missed his coat,
which search failed to find. The young
woman who had been ministering TO
the wants of the company had seen
one of the able-bodied girs go out with
something under her shawl too bulky
to be secreted cake
run, my dear, to Jenny" she said
to one of the lads. 'Tn picking up her
shawl perhaps she got hold Of some
thing else by mistake"
The boy moved off on his stumpy
crutch, and when he returned he held
the coat up in triumph The accident
had happened; Jenny had picked it up
with the shawl.
The crippled children crowded close
round the young woman in great per-
turbation. Their self-respect had been
wounded, and they looked disdainfuly
at the few sound children among them
Finally one of the lads said:
miss Martin, it amt one of us that
did it. Jenny amt a cripple; she's
only Sunday school"'

Seyenty-five years of age, but hale and
hearty is Mr.. Jerome Is. Fournier Of
this place. and to those who ask the
secret of his splendid health he gives
the good advice, Use Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
When asked for his reason for so
strongly recommending the Great
American Kidney Remedy, Mr.. Four
nier related the following experience:
Il recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills
because they cured me of Diabetes. L

time and suffered terribly from those
Urinary Troubles that are so general
among aged people.

Dodd's Kidney Pills make the old
feel young because they make sound
kidneys. Sound kidneys mean health
and health is the other name for youth.

who we're careful not to overstock
with summer goods, and are conse-
quently in an unusually strong posi-
ton with reference to securing fall
supplies. Good orders are being re-
ceived from country merchants. While
dispatches from various centers are
not uniform in expressing trade revi-
val, the tone is more confident than a
week ago and generally suggestive of
a hopeful outlook for the future.
This revival is particularly reported
by Chicago wholesalers. The best de-
mand is noted in clothing, mems and
women's apparel and shoes. Consump-
ton of commodities and better orders
for canned goods and groceries are
further indications of trade revival in
this district.
The South is also active, and is like
ly to develop the heaviest fall trade
reported in years.
The st. Paul district, which has
been the center of crop damage ex-
element, is showing up well with
conservative business and normal
trade outlook. In that section, as In
other territory whose prosperity is af-
fected by the wheat yield, the people
are prosperous and not in the least
concerned at the 'crop killing" scare.
While business is still disturbed In
some sections by the continuance OF
labor controversies, this interruption
is not important, and is not likely to
extend to branches not already affect

Although collections are little
backward in some sections general re
turns this week are satisfactory ex-
cept in certain instances where local
conditions have developed unusual
barriers. 1t is noticeable, however
that localities which a short time ago
reported deferred settlements are not
complaining about present conditions,
and reflect a gradual improvement
The fact that present Indebtedness
represents discriminating purchases
of goods that for the most part have
been readily converted into cash shows
that conditions in general are propi'
tious for quick settlements.

held up pending a definite settlement

coming generally recognized that the

the modern dining table many time
and oft. We have seen the rise and

the revival of the highly polished ma

the oval table. 1t is possible at small
expense for the housewife to call all
