Fortunate is the woman who ha:

sleeping at will. Il is said chat Miss
Julia Marlowe can rest between
scenes of the most exacting plays b.
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 a.

both will make profit on it. 1t is

your support as you are entitled to

octupus can never be successful

engaged in 1t. 1t can never be sue

sends his saving account to the city
bank for safe keeping is not entitled
to the support OF the community
whose money he takes from it. The
merchant who will not patronize his
brother merchants. who makes his
visits to the city an excuse for buy
ing his own household supplies, sup

shelves, of the city merchants. is not
entitled to the support of the com

He wants to do with the communities

others-send them away from the
community. He would bankrupt the
community for selfish interests.
There are few. if any. such mer-
chants as this in this or other COM

is not for their benefit that this pa

readers.
We hear much of the strength of

extent in the fact that they control
