Absolute freedom from care and anX-

maps during the day if possible. This
sleep must always be natural. Nothing
is so bad for the appearance and gen
eral health as sleep induced by anO-
dynes or narcotics in any form. The
diet should be liberal and should
consist largely of food contain
ing starch and sugar; potatoes,
fresh, sweet butter, milk, cream, fruits
cooked and served with sugar, vegeta-
bles containing starch and sugar, such
as corn, sweet potatoes, beans, peas,
foods or the macarOni and spaghetti

Pockets May be sewed nm.

Not little amusement has been
caused by a memorandum recently is
sued from the flagship Chicago, copies
of which have been sent to all the ships
OF the Pacific squadron. 1t seems that
many Of the officers have so Ear for
gotten the discipline drilled into them
at the naval academy as to walk the
decks Of Uncle Sans fighting ships
with their hands thrust comfortably
into their trousers pockets, an attitude
hardly in accord with the bearing ex-
pected from naval officer or calcu-
lated to improve the set of his blouse.
The memorandum is as follows:
'The commander in chief has OBJ
served on the part of some officers of
this squadron an apparent ignorance
of the object for which ones trousers
pockets were invented. He desires to
explain that these were not meant for
the transportation of over-heavy or idle
hands, as some seem to believe, but for
carrying about sundry small and use
full articles not permanently attached
to the human frame.
1T Is suggested that officers who are
unable to resist the temptation to mis-
apply the convenient trousers pockets
might strengthen their good resolutions
by sewing up these two inviting orr
fees; only in the case of the hopelessly
incurable need this sewing up remain
permanent"

Lookup Nearly Killed.
In order to have some fun at the eX-
pense of the sheriff of st. Croix county,
Thomas Walch of Eau Claire, in Jail in
Hudson on the charge of stealing pair
of gloves from a Hudson storekeeper, set
fire to the bedclothes in his cell and was
nearly suffocated by smoke. He was in
large cell on the second floor of the
Jail. About 10 o'clock Deputy Sheriff
H. L. Hagestad heard screams of terror
and, hurrying upstairs, found Walch's
room filled with smoke and flames. He
dragged the half unconscious culprit from
the cell and extinguished the fire. Walch,
when questioned as to what he had done,
merely smiled. As there was no stove in
the room, it is certain that he set the
fire purposely. He will be tried on the
charge of arson.
