The natural way to sleep is on the
side, preferably on the right side. so
as not to interfere with the heart ac-
ton.
If you wake with a headache make
sure you are not sleeping with your
mouth open, and that you have suffi
cient ventilation.
If you dream. see to it that your di-
gestion is good or that you are not
hungry when you go to bed.
Do all your hair brushing. facial
massage and the like before retiring,
rather than in the morning not only
does this allow YOU more time to sleep
late. but the actions are soothing to
the body. and the god results from the
treatment have plenty of time to be
felt before morning.
If you have troubles make up your
mind TO think about something pleas
anter for at least fifreen minutes before
retiring if you wish to wake up bright
and we'll and without dark circles I'M
der your eyes the next morning.

Sleep artificially induced is never as

OF course. in sleeping as in every
thing else. each person has his o: her
individual need. Some require less

learn to get some slice poi a restful

Business women are apt to do too
much thinking and planning after they
go to bed. Men rarely do this, they
have learned the important lesson that
business should be confined to business
hours, if one wishes to preserve a
youthful appearance and to make the
best use of ones brains.
The business woman owes it to her
self to have an attractive bedroom and
comfortable bed. She should consid-

which the physicians think we require
that means fifty six hours week or
more than two whole days of twenty

That seems Il great deal of time

it not? But YOU must remember that
nothing is wasted in nature and that
we could not live as long as we do
without proper periods of rest.
Now since we pass so much time

requires it, we should take every means

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-Although

they have not affected the theater at

appeared in q new role in New York

No other woman of the American

Van CIeve a Witness.

J. A. Van Cleve, one of Stephen
sons campaign managers, told the
Wisconsin legislative committee inves-
tigating the senatorial primary all
about the expenditures of the cam
paign in Marinette, Senator Stephen
sons home county.
Mr.. Van Cleve said he spent $500 OF
his own money and that after the cam
paign was finished he was reimbursed.
An item of 5000 which he paid to
Editor F. E. Noyes of the Marinette
Eagle-Star came in for considerable
discussion. The amount was given to
Mr.. Noyes after the campaign for
"write-ups." Other newspaper men in
the county received smaller sums for
"write-ups' and various small amounts
were paid for workers"
Miss Mary F. Stringham, Senator
Stephenson's private secretary at
Marinette, appeared in the afternoon
with check stubs of campaign and
personal disbursements. The commit
tee decided to examine the stubs and
vouchers in executive session.

AZ OTIS of Money Loose.n

LOIS or money Loose.
The senatorial investigation dragged
through the weary hours Friday, with
w. G. Cowling, manager for S. A Cook,
occupying the witness stand. Assem-
blyman ingalls, took the witness
through the entire transcript of his
detailed statement of expenditures, but
nothing material was secured. When
ethical matters were brought in,
Mr.. Cowling said, among other things,
that he thought it was possible to
spend legitimately 100000 in a sena-
torial primary, considering all the
circumstances surrounding the one
held last fall. He said that during
the latter part of the campaign "a lot
of money was turned loose by some
body"
Mr.. Cowling stated that the expendi-
ture of $500 in Milwaukee for primary
day went to pay workers who were
hired through E. L. Tracy, the state oil
inspector. Asked whether he had
come into contact with anything un-
lawful during the campaign on the
part of the other candidates or their
workers, Mr. .Cowling said that during
August the competition became ter
rife, and somebody turned loose a
whole lot of money Whether that was
Stephenson's money or not, he did not
pretend to know, except from reports
from the field. His workers reported
that they were helpless against the
flood of money.
w. H. Whitaker, secretary of the
state BARRIERS board, received $40 pre-
sumably for a list of BARRIERS. H. P.
Schmidt, who cashed a Stephenson
check, explained that it was Endorsed
over to him by his brother-in-law in

Twenty-third.)

Madison.-United States Senator
Isaac Stephenson, whose term Of fill
ing out the uAexpired term of John c..
Spooner expired Thursday, was Thurs
day reelected by the Wisconsin leg
islature in joint ballot for term of
six years on the twenty-third ballot.
He received 63 out of 123 votes cast,
there being ten absentees.
Senator Stephenson received the
republican nomination at the pri-
maries last fall, but had been op-
posed for reelection in joint ballot
since January &c, when the first bal
lot was taken, until to-day. His op-
ponents had endeavored to block
his election until the joint legislative
committee investigating the primary
election had concluded it's hearings in
connection with charges of alleged cor
ruption against the senator.
Friends of Senator Stephenson had
contended that he was elected in sep
arate ballot on January 26, when he
received a majority of the votes cast,
but Lieut.. Gov. Strange had steadfast-
ly refused to recognize an election.
Senator Stephenson had later gath
cred material strength since charges
of corruption had not been proven, and
yesterday came within one of the nee
essary majority On two occasions
this week the lack of a quorum alone
prevented an election.
When Lieut.. Gov. Strange an
nounced the election of Stephenson,
Senator Blaine made protest that no
certificates should be issued until the
investigation is over. Mr.. Page raised
a point of order. The protest was I'M
needed Strange made speech say
ing that the principle of the primary
election be finally sustained"
In voting Assemblyman Dorner of
Milwaukee said he had been threat
ened with dire disaster if he would
not vote for Stephenson. He made
public a libelous letter and tele-
gram which he received. DOrner did
not vote for Stephenson.
A second protest had been sent to
Washington against the seating Of
Isaac Stephenson on the vote of the
separate houses of the legislature
taken on the third Tuesday in January.
The protest, which was addressed to
the United States senate, was signed
by all the senators who voted "pres-
ent" on the separate ballot of the
houses except Senator Lyon, who de-
clined, it is understood, to sign the
document, and Senator Brazeau, who
was home ill.
The document was also signed by
the lieutenant governor and the chief
clerks of the houses and contained
a certified copy of the record for jan
uary &c and q. The record of the
latter showed that the senators on
that day declined to change the record
of the day before, but confirmed the
statement that the senators had voted
present.

Wilhelm was born on the kaiser's
birthday. From the dome of the cas-

old grandfather and old Wrangel
hoped into a cab and went to the

boy is all right and the father made

Aided La Toilette in Campaign.

Senator Stephenson contributed
$1,000 to the presidential campaign of
United States Senator Robert M. La
Toilette and another $1,000 to pay the
expense of the Wisconsin delegates to
the Republican national convention in
Chicago.
This was the information gained
from the testimony of Mary f. String
ham, for II years private secretary of
Senator Stephenson at Marinette, be-
fore she left the witness stand in her
examination by the Wisconsin legisla-
tive committee which is delving into
the details of expenditures by the
various United States senatorial pri-
mary candidates. The check for the
La Toilette presidential campaign
was drawn in January and the one for
the expense for the convention dele
gates was issued in May. The payee
of the La Toilette campaign check
was not made public.
H. L. Ekern, former speaker of the
Wisconsin assembly, received the
check for the expense of the Wiscon-
sin delegates at the Chicago conven-
ton.
