COMFORT WHILE SLEEPING.

Little Head Pillows nm Aid to
Complete Relaxation.
"The little head pillows should not he
regarded as luxury to be had by II
few. but a necessity to be had by every
body" insists a doctor whose fad, if IT
can be called fad, is that people
should be comfortable as they sleep.
Most people exclaim to me, why, we
are comfortable when we sleep but
know better. They can't be, with heads
lying on the usual large bed pillow.
which brings strain at the neck. Tn
consciously people strive to avoid this
neck strain by bOlstering their head
with arm or hand, by humping the pill
low about the body, by attitudes that
throw the whole body into stiffness
that does not permit perfect relaxation.
Little head pillows obviate all this
strain. 1t is not fad to have two or
even three to tuck about ones neck
and back to relieve the slightest effort
against absolute relaxation.
81 never knew what peace was till
I tried your idea,' one of my patients
told me. L never walked up in the
morning without strain OF more or
less annoyance to me in my neck, for
able to get perfectly comfortable in
bed. Now tuck my little wedge pill
lows, as | call them, about me and
never bother about comfort. for | am
simply surrounded by it, Speaking Of
comfort in sleep, why are most people
so hard on themselves in the matter OF
blankets! People who can have plenty
Of luxuries will stint themselves in the
quality of their blankets, purchasing
for themselves those made for the most
part Of cotton-heavy, unyielding Gov
erings that settle down like weight
Of lead upon one, firing tired-out limbs
all through the night. It's warmth
that one wants from blanket cover
ing. not weight. Every ounce of weight
Oh the body as it sleeps is an ounce of
something to be deplored.
LET 1t be your first luxury, If you
will insist upon calling necessities for
health luxuries, to put lot of good
money in blankets. You'll have to put
in lot of money. for the fine blankets
are expensive. A very fine blanket,
carefully cared for at wash times and
ut moth seasons, will Outlive a cheap
blanket by so many years that there Is
absolutely no comparison between them.
A good solid part Of ones twenty -four
hours is spent in sleep. Upon the
length of that sleep,and upon the quail
waking hours. The excellence Of your
work, the thoroughness of, your pleas
ure depend upon your sleeping well.
You can't sleep well unless you sleep
comfortably. "-Kansas City Journal.

tionists, the military chiefs order the

where there were no revolutionists,
the colonel in command of the troops
carried out the threat.
In respect of the Jewish situation,
the condition of affairs is appalling
Gomel has been RACED by fire and
many Jews murdered and burned. Eye
witnesses relate that there were only
twenty rioters and that the heavy pa

His hair was some inclined to gray;

His breast with pity burned.

But good old Grimes is now at rest,
Nor fears misfortunes frown.
He wore double breasted vest
The stripes ran up and down.
He modest merit sought to find
And pay it its dessert
He had no malice in his mind,
No ruffles on his shirt.

Was sociable and gay.

And changed them every day.

But lived tas all his brothers do)
In easy circumstances.
Thus undisturhed by anxious cares
His peaceful moments ran,

CANAL commissioners
SUBMIT Two REPORTS

Washington, Feb. 8.-The report
of the isthmian canal commission CIV
ing to the secretary of war the minor
ity and majority reports of the board
of consulting engineers, together with
the views of the canal commission,
has been laid before Secretary Taft.
The report sets out the reasons
which influenced all of the commits
sioners save Admiral Endicott to &C.
cept the views of the minority of the
board of consulting engineers rather
than the majority which favored the
digging of sea-level canal. The en-
gineers' report consists of no less than
100 large printed pages.
To the minority engineers report,
which secured the approval of the
majority of the commission, was APP
pended letter from Chief Engineer
Stevens, reinforcing the reasoning of
the minority of the engineer board,
after a careful analysis of the two
plans of sea level and lock canal.
Accompanying the commissions re-
port is the minority report of Rear
Admiral and Commissioner Endicott,
the only member to accept the views
of the majority of the engineers. Sec
rotary Taft intends Immediately to be-
gin formulating this own conclusions
upon the radically differing views pre-
sented to him, for the information of
the president.
The commission has also adopted
the recommendations of Chief En-
gineer Stevens, involving the expend-
iture Of 5000, 900 for the sanitation of
Colon. Provision has been made for
the establishment of an electric light
and power plant for Culebra to cost
$50, 1000.
