Hard Bed and Small Pillow.

mo matter how comfortable a soft
bed and large, soft pillows may be-"
said DR.. A. S. Barnes, Jr., "they are
not healthy, and women especially
would do well to avoid them. for they
assist materially in injuring her physi-
ca! appearance. When the body sinks
down in soft bed considerable por-
zion of the skin is robbed of its proper
ventilation, and the circulation is in
tesfered with. 1t also helps to make
the flesh firmer and the form must,
therefore, appear somewhat better as
result. The large pillows are not
good to sleep Oh because the head is
too high when it rests on them, and
this prevents that deep, regular
breathing which gives good lungs and
in consequence a better appearance to
the bust and shoulders
One ought always to sleep on the left
side. and preferably with the arms at
the back. This may be little awk-
ward at first, but as soon as one be

easily conduced. The pillow ought to.
of course. be small and the bed hard,
or at least firm. The body is then in
the correct position for sleeping and
for helping the physical appearance of
the person while at rest. The arms at
the back throw the chest forward,
make the shoulders broader and the
back straighter, SO that material as
sistance toward a good carriage is thus
obtained. When one lies on his back,
even though the pillow is small, it has
tendency to crook the shoulders. and
many cases of stopped shoulders have
probably originated in this way.--St.

In view of the astounding progress

filial to your parents and affectionate
to your brothers; be loving friends;
conduct yourselves with modesty and
be benevolent to all. Develop your
intellectual faculties and perfect your
moral powers by gaining knowledge
and acquiring a profession Promote
public interests and advance public
affairs. Ever respect the national con-
stitution and obey the laws of the

Horses Frightened by Auto Throw
 Aged Couple from Wagon.
 Woodbury, May 29.-Three persons were injured, one Of them probably fstally. in runaway accident here yesterday afternoon. As Mfr and Mrs James Emerson Baldwin of South bury, both about 74 years old, were driving from Salmon Hill in carriage drawn by a pair of horses the animals became frightened at an automobile which was coming up. Shortly nfter the auto was passed one of the reins broke and the horses becoming unman- ageable, ran down the hill, throwing both Mir and Mrs Baldwin to the ground.
 Both were taken to the nearest house and doctor called. who found that Mir Baldwin was suffering from severe wound on the head and in- juries to the brain which will prob ably prove fatal. while Mrs Baldwin has broken arm and a broken should CT. The frightened horses kept on down the hill and struck carriage. driven by William Mitchell of South Britain. The pole of the Baldwin car riage was driven through the back of the Mitchell vehicle and Mrs Mitchell was thrown out and badly cut about the face. The three horses were stopped later on.
