luton Living.

Capt. Edward Bassett NAPLES. of
Omar ock. Va. 81 years old, is one OF
the few living sons of revolutionary
fathers. He Is a son of Lieut.. Samuel
NAPLES, who fought under Washing
ton In the war for independence.
Lieut.. NAPLES was a native Of the

in most daring manner. He had
served an apprenticeship in Philadel-
phia and while there boarded with a
Mrs. Jones, a true advocate OF free
dom's cause. Mrs Jones, hearing Of
Lieut.. NAPLES capture. went to see
him. She carried a suit OF Quaker
clothes and took his battls-scarred
ones home to mend. The lieutenant
was the object of much sport from
his comrades on account of his new
clothes
One day, however, Col. Cropper. a
fellow prisoner, seized a Quaker hat
from another prisoner, gave II 20

down and make his escape. The lieu

started downstairs. A British officer
at the foot OF the steps, thinking the
lieutenant was real Quaker, collared
him and demanded 20 know his bust
ness. The officer reprimanded the
sentinel for letting the man pass up
TO the prisoners. took the supposed
Quaker TO the door. gave him a kick
and told him never 20 be seen here
again.
Lieut.. NAPLES made his way to
the Jones home. where he found sew
eral British officers quartered. Mrs.
Jones, for fear of detection, made a
servant of the lieutenant. The next
morning she fixed up a market basket,
put IL on the arm OF the soldier and
escorted him out of the city on a for
aging expedition. Soon finding him

soldiers. Lieut.. NAPLES made his way

HOW TO SLEEP.
q Physicians Advice on PrOcurIas
the Best Rcpose.

= PhysiciRn's Advice on PrOcurinG
the Best Repose.
During childhood and exhaustive
states too much sleep Is rarely possible.
For those in full tide OF vigor too much
sleep is often distinctly hurtful, says
DR.. J. Madison Taylor in the Popular
Science Monthly.
The action Of narcotics presents none
OF the characteristics OF normal sleep
except the temporary arrest OF con
sciousness; hence narcosis is not true
sleep.
The best position to assume In sleep
10 invite the least dist % lnce OF the
functions of the great organs Is on the
abdomen or nearly so. Many obscure
forms OF digestive or circulatory dlsor-
ders may have been Initiated In infancy
through lying too long upon the back.
To secure the most perfect repose the
temperature OF all parts should be
equalized before retiring. Cold feet In
duce delay in securing sleep, and 1t is
then shallow when attained.
1t is most unwise to overflll the stom-
ach before retiring. This dIsturbs
sleep almost as much as hunger, but
hurtful and is often salutary.
Body clothing at night should be
loose. not dense, permitting the ready
passage OF air. never of wool next TO
the skin. Bedclothing should not be
too close OF texture, blankets being
preferable TO dense comfortables and
not tucked In too closely. Air should
be allowed TO pass occasionally under
the sides. at least as one turns about
more or less freely.
Early rising is a salutary custom, es-
pecially when the day comes early, not
otherwise. More sleep is required Ia
winter than in summer. The best sleep
is had during the hours OF darkness.
The sleeping room should be cool,
abundant air being always admitted
This should not be interpreted to mean
that the room may safely remain In
tensely cold. Artificial air can and
should be supplied along with the fresh
air till the temperature OF the room be
at or near 20 or % degrees F.. for some
even 60 degrees L.

How 10 Cure Cold by New Method.
Consul General Guenther Of Frank
fort, Germany, reports new cure for
a cold 1t consists of n mixture OF CO.
caine, paranephrine and water applied
on cotton TO the nose. 1t arrests Sc
cretions and cures the cold usually by
several applications. Inasmuch as a
cold can lead 10 dangerous diseases, il
Is wise to prevent its protraction. In
the case OF children Dr. Vohsen advises
mothers TO cut a small rubber tube
obliquely and TO insert the sharpened
end into the nose; then. by means OF a
rubber bail, blow air into the tube.
Thus the secretiOns In one side may
be blown out through the other side.
This eases the children and allows
them 10 breathe freely. One can see
at glance how valuable such knowl-
edge IS. 1t can be used in all kinds OF
cases affecting the nose and throat.
