A savings bank is never a very

1t was two o'clock before her turn

she gave the weari' man behind the

she handed him her bank book and
said:

He glanced at the book and count

The teller nodded.
She fingered the bills, looking more

IN BEL TIRE HOURS
SHORT DISCOURSE ON PROPER
METHODS OF SLEEP.
ritter Declares the Human Race Does
Not Know How Properly to Woo
Natures 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 tho
country have seen Bung, the hound,
chasing rabbits in his sleep. An ami.
NAL would be perfectly helpless If 1t
slept on its back. And so is man help
less in that position.
If some other fellow wants fortune
let him invent q pillow that will allow
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-ur cure" and introduce it in
NIL 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 STORE
Those who sleep on their backs i'm
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 Gleep on
your back this gets down about the
breathing apparatus and you snore
night howl CT hyena. Never marry
woman that snores. Ask her before
you propose if she is addicted to snor-
Ing. and If she says yea" avoid her.
It is much easier to relax when
sleeping On your front than when
sleeping on yCur back. And what we
all need after touching the bed at
night is relaxation. 1t is billion
nit!cs that sO',,c. scientist cannot teach
the art Of rl!aXing. Our strenuous
life, o" ccu'5a. is not blameless in this
natter. 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 pos,';bv
let the strings down. Therefore we
do not rest. Could we relax we could

lead.
Every man and woman in this coun-
try was brought up with the notion
that If the feet were higher than the
head in sleeping all the blood wouiu
