iii BEDTIME HOURS
SHORT DISCOURSE ON PROPER
METHODS OF SLEEP.
ritter Declares the Human Race Does
Not Know How Properly to Woo
"Nature's Sweet Restorer"-
Beware the Snorer.

Man is the only animal that sleeps
on its back, says the New York Press.
Many animals sleep on their sides,
but most sleep prone-that is, face
down. Dogs never dream when prone.
but invariably do so when sleeping
on their side. All of us from the
country have seen Bung, the hound,
chasing rabbits in his sleep. An ami
NAL would be perfectly helpless If 1t
slept on it's back And so is man help
less in that position.
If some other fellow wants a fortune
let him invent pillow that will allow
a man or woman or child to sleep face
down without having to twist the neck
nearly out of joint We still style it
the, ''back-up cure" and introduce it in
all homes. There is no excuse for
lying on the back and keeping the
spine hot all night, while the front Of
the body-the abdomen, the stomach,
the chest, the throat, etc.-is allowed
to become chilled. A hot spine is =
disease generator. And, on the other
hand cold spine is death.
Snoring is an Internal nuisance to
every one except the snorer. People
who sleep on their fronts never snore.
Those who sleep on their backs in
variably do. The palate as we know
1t is the roof of the mouth and the
| floor OF the nose. Some style it the
hard palate. Back near the throat is
the soft palate. When you sleep on
your back this gets down about the
| breathing apparatus and you snore.
Some snores are worse than the mid.
| night howl OF hyena. Never marry q
woman that snores. Ask her before
you proposerif she is addicted to snor.
Ing, and If she says yea" avoid her.
1t is much easier to relax when
sleeping on your front than when
sleeping on your back. And what we
all need after touching the bed at
night is relaxation. 1t is billion
pities. that some scientist cannot teach
| the art of relaxing. Our strenuous
| life, OF course, Is not blameless in this
| matter. We go to bed in excitement,
| and the nerves are strung all night.
That Is to say, we go to bed In full
tune, like piano, and cannot possibly
let the strings down. Therefore we
do not rest. Could we relax we could
sleep four or five hours and arise re.
freshed: but as we cannot relax, we
groan and dream and sweat and roll
over and have remorse for eight or
pine hours, and get up with a swelled
head.
Every man and woman in this coun.
try was brought up with the notion
that IL the feet were higher than the
head in sleeping all the blood wouIu
rush to the head and cause strangula-
ton. This is the veriest rot. Ad.
vanced physicians now advocate the
elevated feet for the cure of insomnia
Hang your legs over the footboard.
get rid Of your pillow, and go to sleep
like an infant You are on your feet
all day and half the night. Stand on
your head the rest of the night and let
the blood circulate the other way.
Maybe your brain needs 1t.

Death of Little Josephine Fulton

Hearts were saddened and
heavy with sorrow when it was
learned that little Josephine Full
ton had passed away, the gentle
spirit flown to God who gave it
life. The sad event occurred at
the home of her grandparents,
Mr.. and Mrs. r. P. Brown, at
this place last Thursday evening
at 6 o'clock, after long weary
months of anxiety and apprehen-
sion on the part of the family
and gradual weakness and ex-
haustion of the frail little child.
No patient ever received kinder
attention or more tender, watch
full nursing, and could love and
prayers have stayed the hand of
death, she would,now be answer
ing to the caresses Of the devot-
ed parents, whose hearts are
crushed over her going.
The funeral, conducted in a feel
ing, sympathetic way by Rev. R.
A. Cooper, was held at the Bap-
fist church Friday afternoon at
100 o'clock, after which the
little, white casket was borne to
the cemetery and laid in the
fower-lined tomb. The mound
was covered with floral offer
ings sent from TupeIo and this
place.
Josephine, only child of Mr..
and Mrs. D. T. Fulton of Tupeio,
was born October 10, 1904, and
was therefore three years and
four months Of age. Beautiful
and unusually bright and low
able in disposition, she was the
joy and sunshine Of the home.
In her, was centered their fond
est hopes and a future of happy
realization of cherished dreams,
now blasted, -Pontotoc Sentinel.

A FINE SHOWING FOR LEE
COUNTY.

The bulletin issueu in January
from the Department of Agri-
culture Of Mississippi showing
corn and cotton production for
1906 presents some very inter-
esting and instructive figures and
the showing made by this county
is among the best made by any
of the counties in the state.
While Lee county has all along
been considered a corn county,,
the data gathered by the United
States government and the
Department of Agriculture of
the state; places us in the front
rank of the cotton producing
counties. Only four counties
lead us in the quantity of cotton
produced to the acre and one of
these counties, Hancock, is on
the coast, and produced only 29e
bales according to the govern
ment report, and 1877 bales &C.
cording to the state departments
data. The counties that lead
Lee with the number of acres re-
CURED to produce a bale of cot
ton are: Adams, II, Hancock
II, Jefferson 1.8, Wilkinson, 1.8.
The next group in which Lee
county is found, is composed of
Jackson, 10, (produced only 40
bales in the county, Lee 10,
Quitman 1.9, Sunfower 10;
Tallahatchie 10, Warren 10.
This data places Lee county in
the same class with the leading
Delta counties and ahead of the
priarie counties to the south of
us. In the prairie class we find
Chickasaw with an average of a
bale to 2.5 acres; Lowndes 2.8;
Monroe 2.3; Noxubee &c: Oktib-
beha "a.
In the same data we find that
Lee county produced more bush
e of corn than any county in
the state by SO, 900 bushels. The
quantity in round numbers for
the year 1906 were TAP, SIT bush
els with an average of 22.5 BUSH
els per acre. The only county
leading us was Quitman with an
average production of %. 2 BUSH
els, a fraction over a half bushel
better average than Lee county's.
The second county in number of
bushels produced was Tallahatch-
lie with 692, 391 bushels, followed
by Union with 618, 827, La Fay
cite with 591, 722, bushels, and
other North Mississippi counties
that show better averages than
either the Delta or prairie coun-
ties.
With this data before us we
should feel a just pride in our
county and press forward until
we take first rank both in corn
and cotton production. There is
no reason why we should not
lead. With our rich alluvial bot
tom lands and productive clay
uplands we should easily take
the lead. The time is soon COM
ing when practically all of our
bottom lands will be in cultiva-
ton. The drainage canals are
retaining many acres that a
few years ago were considered
worthless and each year adds to
the number and productive
ness of these lands. With a lit
tie more study of improved meth
