Sleep

Sleep is natures re-
building period, when the
energy used by the brain,
muscles and organs is re-
newed. If you lose sleep,
your system is robbed Of
the strength sleep should

sleep multiplies this loss
until you become a phys
ical wreck. DR.. Miles

SNAKE
FROM CIGAR BOX

LOS ANGELES, May 81. While
opening case Of cigars packed IN
Key West, Joseph Kassar, manager
Of the Ben .Rosin Company, Avalon,
Santa Catalina Island. this morning
released a monster rattlesnake AMI
had narrow escape from its deadly
kangs. The serpent, angered by close
confinement, sprang up like steel
wire, and as its coils unwound its
head darted almost against Kassar's
face, 1t ratified viciously and swayed
to and fro before the eyes Of the
heIplessly frightened merchant.
Momentarily Kassar expected the
fatal stroke, yet he dared not move.
Bystanders observed his predicament
with horror, and one, more thought
iful than the rest, seized stick and
dealt the reptile terrible blow, al
most cutting it in two.
Apparently the snake concealed IT
self in the box before shipment, as
there was no crack where It could
have entered afterward. 1t measured
four feet nine inches in length and
had twelve rattles.
