her ability to drop asleep when she

consciousness are great restOrcrs, and
there need be no special preparation
for them. We associate sleep with
darkness and bed, but daylight, soft
touches and easy chairs are just as
good for sleeping purposcs-only the
power of INSTRUMENTATION IS lacking.
and that is 80 general as TO be Il Sc.

Child Turning Purple.

Mary EighOtz, three years old, OF
New York, is turning purple. The
doctor says she Is suffering with n dis.
Ease known as purpura hcmorrhagica.
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 child's body presents the
appearance Of being tattOOed. Almost
the entire body IL covered. with the
exception of the face, which thus far
has not been affected. While most Of
the time the blotches are of n mellow
purple, they occasionally change to a
deep plum color or Il dull red. Some
blotchcs are AZ large as a penny. 9th.
crs are no larger than a pinhcad. The
disease is probably caused by a rheu'
matte germ.

Something Of this Is explained by
the conditions the writer saw In a

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

| lars II the local merchants will not

price.
Let US 20 back to this northern
Wisconsin town and see what oppor-
tunities the merchants there were sac
rificing. II was a mill town, and In
no way an agricultural community.
There were not 20 farms within a ra-
dlus OF as many miles. The industry
was lumber. and the money to run tho
mills came from the city. The nearly
900 employees were paid In city
money, and with a little effort on the
part of the merchants In that town
this money might have been kept in
the town. II might have been made
to build a permanent prosperity. But
no., the merchants left a wide field for
the mail-ordcr houses which they I'm.
proved, and the money that might
have built n town that would have
stood after the lumber interests are
gone and the mills are closed has been
allowed to return to tn" city from
which II 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 1t
would pay to advertise.

that you can sell the same goods for
