"WilF' Yourself to Sleep.

Fortunate is the woman who has successfully cultivated the habit of sleeping at will. It is said that Miss Julia Marlowe can rest between scenes of the most exacting plays by her ability to drop asleep when she pleases. These little periods of uncon- consciousness are great restorers, and there need be no special preparation for them We associate sleep with darkness and bed, but daylight, soft couches and easy chairs are just as good for sleeping purposes-only the power of will-concentration is lacking, and that is so general as to be se- rious drawback to good work in all directions. We see women of splendid health and poise, of strong mentality and we marvel at their gifts when the whole secret of their power lies in concentration.

LINK WITH THE PAST.

Mrs. Julia Goodman, a portrait painter of note, died recently at Brighton, England. Mrs. Goodman was in her ninety-ffth year, and. among other distinctions. had paint ad the portrait of the eleventh earl of Westmoreland. who had sat both to Reynolds and Romney. Another link in the past that Mrs. Goodman recalled with interest was that as a girl she was ia ken to see the re- markable woman-warrior. Phoebe lIessel. then reported to be in her one hundred and eighth year. \ year or two ago the London county council renamed a street Hessel street in her honor. Mrs. Goodman had seen Phoebe Hcssel, who fought as a soldier at the battle of Fonte- nov in 1.4J, and who was reputcd to have been born seven years be- fore Queen Anne died. Such an arch of association is seldom formed by two lives.

Child Turning Purple.

Mary Eighotz, three years old, of New York, is turning purple. The doctor says she is suffering with dis ease known as purpura hemorrhagica The child's mother first noticed the changing color three weeks ago. While bathing the girl she detected small purple spots on various parts of the body. Alarmed, she applied home remedies, but the spots continued to spread The childs body presents the appearance of being tattooed. Almost tie entire body is covered, with the exception of the face, which thus far has not been affected. While most of the time the blotches are of a mellow purple, they occasionally change to a deep plum color or dull red. Some blotches are as large as penny, Oth- CTS are no larger than pinhead. The disease is probably caused by rheu- matic germ.

Losing ones self on Mont Blanc will soon be counted among the van lshed industries. In recent years a number of fine refuges have been built in various parts of the mountain by the Alpine clubs of England, France and other countries and by private individuals. These have made 1t almost impossible for a man hay. ing a bump of locality of average size to be lost, in spite of heavy mists and binding snowstorms caused by sud- den changes of temperature.

ROAD TO l, SUCCESS
PUBLICITY IS THE MAII-ORDER
 MANS GREAT WEAPON.
MERCHANTS MUST ADVERTISE
"Fiuht Fire with Fire" and the Dol lars Now Going CityWard Will
 Stay in the Home Community.

The merchant who would wage sue cessful warfare against mail-order competition should study mail-order methods. The same tactics that takes the dollar out of the community will keep it at home.
 And what are mail-order methods?
 The keynote of it all may be found in the one word-publicity. The mail order house advertises. It does not advertise better goods at less money than the home merchant gives, but it advertises consistently. It puts it's proposition before the public constant ly. It recognizes no dull season in it's campaign for publicity. It never lets up.
 At a gathering in Iowa some time ago a mail-order man explained some of the system followed in the cam paign of publicity. According to this explanation the mail-order house seeks the line of least resistance in it's

LION AT A DISADVANTAGE.
Daytime Sleep Was Fatal Mistake to
 Monarch of the Jungle.

It is seldom that the king of beasts is discovered at such disadvantage as happened the other day near the Theta mine
 A gentleman from the mine was taking a stroll round with his rifle when he saw some kind of animal ly- ing stretched out in the open. On ap- preaching within 20 paces he was greatly astonished to see that it was a full grown male lion lying on it's side.
 Thinking that there was little doubt that the animal was dead, he went within ten yards, but becoming i'm pressed with the danger of his posi- tion should the animal be alive, he gave a shout, when he was astOnished to see the animal raise it's head, look round at him and give vent to an an gry roar of defiance. Quickly raising his rife he had just time to take a steady aim, and by ky shot killed the animal as it Was ln the act of ris-

Use of Ices.

Though the ancient Greeks and Ro- mans used ice for table purposes, they knew nothing of ices" These were introduced into France from Italy about 1660 and known at first as "fromages glaces,' iced cheeses, al though they were made of strawber- rics, apricots and so forth, and con tained not a drop of cream. From 1762 the Use of glaces" in the plural was sanctioned by the Academy, but not before 1925 did "une glace' force it's way into recognized acceptance. Ices" are refer r'ed to from time to time in the eighteenth century in Eng fish peoples letters from abroad. Iced creams" however, were known as early as the year when William of Orance came over, and by the middle of the eighteenth century ice cream figured iu cookery books-London Chronicle.

FIND OUT
The Kind of Food That Will Keep

The true way is to find out what is best to eat and drink, and then culti- vate a taste for those things instead of poisoning ourselves with improper, indigestible food, etc.
 A conservative Mass. woman writes:

 A few hours later the writer was talking with the publisher of the local paper, and the conversation turned to local advertising, or rather the lack of it.
 "I was very much tempted to accept a proposition which l received from one of the Chicago mail-order houses a few days ago" said the publisher. "I still have the proposition here on my desk. They offer me cash con tract at my regular display rates for 1 300 inches, to be used during the year, and in addition to the cash ad- vertising they offer me a small com mission on all the new business se- cured in this county during the life of the contract They say their busi- ness in this county during the last 12 months was approximately s8.000 per month, and l would secure, small percentage on all business done over this amount during the next 12 months"

When they find a town in which the furniture dealer, for exam pie, is afraid to use printers ink they pay particular attention to the subject of furniture. They are searching for the weakest link in the chain of home defenses.
 Something of this is explained by the conditions the writer saw in a mill town in northern Wisconsin. The local paper carried practically no local advertising when the size of the town was considered. and the stores of the town were but small affairs. In talk ing to one of the merchants he com plained that more than $25,OOO was

In the most plastic period of character formation he attended the Massa- chusetts normal school at Westtield, and applied himself diligently tc books that must have reminded him that the pie eaters of New England wrought nightly in the field and followed the strenuous life.

 We want the people to trade at home; We want them to build up the home community; we want to see the dollars kept in circulation here that one and all of the local people may prosper. We do not want to see the fortunes of the city mail-order man built at the expense of the local com munity, but we know absolutely the value of publicity, and we know the mail-order houses will capture the dol lars if the local merchants will not fight fire with fire; will not show the public what they can buy and at what price.
 Let us go back to this northern Wisconsin town and see what oppor- tunities the merchants there were sac rificing. It was a mill town, and in no way an agricultural community. There were not 20 farms within ra- dius of as many miles. The industry was lumber, and the money to run the mills came from the city. The nearly 1000 employees were paid in city money. and with little effort on the part of the merchants in that town this money might have been kept in the town. It might have been made to build permanent prosperity. But no, the merchants left a wide field for the mail-order houses which they i'm proved and the money that might have built a town that would have stood after the lumber interests are gone and the mills are closed has been allowed to return to the city from which it came, and now every lofty pine that falls but drives another nail in the coffin of the town, and all be- cause the merchants did not believe it would pay to advertise.

HONEST MEDICINE
TRY OR. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS

 The Most SkepticaI.

For long time l was subject to bad spells of faintness and lack of breath accompanied by an indescribable feeling that seemed to start in my stomach. Whenever was a little rundown or over-tired, these spells would come on. They occurred frequently but did not last very long. 'I was confined to my bed for ten weeks one time and the doctor pro- nounced my trouble chronic inflamma- tiOn of the stomach and bowels. Since that time I have been subject to the fainting spells and at other times to fiut tering of the heart and feeling as though I was smothering. My general health was very bad and was weak and trembling.
 "I had seen Dr. Williams Pink Pills mentioned in the newspapers and de- cided to try them. When began taking the pills was so rundown in strength that could hardly do any housework. Now I could walk ten miles if necessary. Both my husband and myself think Dr. Williams Pink Pills the best medicine made and we always recommend the pills to our friends"
