GETTING Our OF BED.



Don't jump up the first thing your
eyes are open. Remember that while
you sleep the vital organs are at rest.
The vitality Is lowered and the Circula-
tlon not 50 strong. \ sudden spring
out Of bed is a shock to these organs,
especially to the heart, as it starts TO
pumping blood suddenly.
Take your time in getting up. Nawn
and stretch; wake up slowly; give the
vital organs a chance to resume their
work gradually.
Notice how a baby wakes up. 1t
stretches It's arms and legs, rubs its
eyes and yawns and wakes up slowly.
Watch q kitten wake up. First it
stretches out one leg then another,
rubs its face, rolls over and stretches
the whole body The birds do not wake
up and fly as soon as their eyes are
open. They shake out their wings and
stretch their legs, waking up slowly.
This is the natural way to wake up.
Don't jump up suddenly, don't be IN
such a hurry, but stretch and yawn
and yawn and stretch. Stretch the
arms and the legs; stretch the whole
body \ good yawn and stretch is bet
ter even than a cold bath. 1t will get
you thoroughly awake, and then you
will enjoy the bath all the more

The verb collar" has long been used
transitively, meaning to seize or take
hold Of a person by the collar; more
loosely, to capture" The verb was
thus employed early in the seventeenth
century. Steele, In the Guardian, No.
S4, wrote, IF you advised him not to
collar any man" Other instances are:
Gentleman's Magazine, 1852, His lord
ship collared the footman who threw
It," and Marryat's sentence in Peter
Simple" HE was collared by two
French soldiers"

MAN EATERS IN INDIA.
The Sort of Tigers That Hunt For
Human Game.

The man eater" is the jungle night
mare Of India, and numerous are the
theories to account for its abnormal
appetite. Commonly it is said to be an
old tiger which has found game too
difficult to bring down, or sickly
tiger which has rcsorted to man kill
ing In its weakness as the easier meth
od. The consensus Of opinion among
experienced hunters and observers Is,
however, that man eater is an eX-
cattle killer which in conflict with
herdcrs. who are often quite brave In
defense of their cattle, has discovered
how much less work it is to Kill man
than cattle, for the cattle killer Is
usually fat and lazy. Nothing has
been found. 50 far as | have discover
ed, to suggest appetite for human
flesh as the impelling motive, or that
man eaters reject all flesh not human,
or that the cubs Of a man killing t.
greSs inherit the man killing propen-
sity. Rather Is it case Of contempt
for man bred of familiarity, and more
often the lust lays hold of the tgress,
very likely because in foraging for her
cubs (as she does until they begin to
hunt for themselves at seven months)
ana in their defense she has come
more frequently in contact with man,
or it may be because the female is
more numerous than the male or be-
cause by nature the slyer and more
vicious-EXchange.

If you have not examined the

see a truly marvellous instrument. With
this piano in the home, the non-pIay-

With this piano anyone can play,
and play well without having musical
knowledge, without necessarily having
given any attention to playing by
hand.
Scores of professional and business
men who have purchased Lauter

could induce them to give it up, that
the pleasure Of being able to play every
composition that one may like and
just as one likes to have it played-is
d real pleasure indeed, and one that is
enhanced with practice.
The best evidence Of the value Of
this ideally beautiful instrument to
those who purchase is that in vast
number of instances we have taken a

PRACTICALLY

constant charm of being an instru-

also playable, through the use Of
pneumatic mechanism, with the aid
of treadles and music-roll. 1t is really
TWO PIANOS COMBINED IN
ONE CASE.
The instrument can be played by
hand in the regular way, and when it
is so played the treadles and music
roll are concealed.
1t can be played by any non
player as already stated, and tempo
and expression are entirely under the
control of the operator, thus making
possible the production Of thoroughly
artistic music, making easy the rendi-
ton Of the most difficult pieces with
taste and precision.
We invite you to see and play for
yourself this wonderful instrument.
We want you to come here and in
vestigate its musical capabilities.
We can take your present piano
in part payment, and can arrange at
tractive monthly terms for the balance.
