THE Man From Home" the at
traction Eat the Grand on Saturday
evening, was witnessed by crowded
house, and the performance was one
of the best ever seen in DEBORAH.
The cast is a splendid one, the stage
effects so beautiful and elaborate,
and the story of the play so novel
and true to life, that the combina-
ton makes an evenings entertain
ment of the highest order. The de-
lineation of the national characters
which the story of the play brings
out gives abundant opportunity for
the display of the finer qualities OF
the different characters, and each
part was carried so successfully that
there was little left to desire in the
way of high class performance.
The managers of the Grand are to be
congratulated upon the excellence OF
the attractions so far this season.

THE most successful farmer in

the department of agriculture at

telling the farmers all over the coun-

manages things on the plot of ground
which he calls his farm"
Martins farm contains just twen-
ty acres and from it he cares for his
family and saves 81 900 each year.
While Mr.. Martin raises a certain
amount of fruit, his principal crops
are the usual farm crops of Nebras-
ka. Not foot of the twenty acres
is permitted to remain idle and two
or three crops of something or other
is raised on every acre every year.

Switzerland ten years ago without
a penny. All he knew was farming

Martin found his twenty acres. I'll
was rocky and not worth farming,
so the owners of surrounding farms
declared. AS proof of the poor quail
ity of the land, Martin paid only
$3.50 an acre for it, while sur
rounding farms were worth from S50l
to $40 an acre. He paid just Sl00l
down and gave a mortgage. The
remainder of his money he used to-

says:
Ellis neighbors used to laugh at
the young farmer and nick-named
him "Hazelbrush." bur they now
say he is making more money off
his twenty acres than we are on

any more land but wants to farm
what he has better than he does

So successful has the young farm
er been that today, seven years after
he purchased HIS little farm, he is
entirely out of debt, has good
house, fine barns, cash in the bank
and a standing offer of $4,000 for
his twenty acres. Last winter he
spent three months in Switzerland
and for the past three years he has
been to the Colorado mountains

DIET FOR DRows1NEss.
Attacks of Sleepiness-Often Result
of Owlish Habits,

From the Youths Companion.
Sleepiness is normal and healthy con-
dition when it occurs at the usual bed
time, and when not extreme and over
powering, but 1t is not always associated
with sleep. Some persons in perfect
health. and excellent sleepers, hardly
know the meaning of drowsness; they
are active mentally and physically until
they are in bed; then sleep comes at
once, and when it leaves them in the
morning they are again in full mental
awakeness.
There are less fortunate persons. who
never have complete and satisfactory
nights rest. who are yet almost constantly
drowsy; they are always nodding, but
when the head touches the pillow sleep re-
cedes, and the night is a succession of
drowsy lapSes to sleep with the instant
return of semi-cOnsciousness.
In general, with the exception noted at
the beginning of this article, drowsiness
is abnormal, and indicates something
wrong, either in the body of the sufferer
or In his habits. Those who habitually
cut off their hours Of sleep. the might
, owls and the burners of the midnight
oil. pay for their bad habit by attacks
of sleepiness In the afternoon and early
evening: later, unfortunately, after the
influence of digestion wears off, the
drowsiness appears, and then, relieved of
his burden, the person sits I'D to all
hours again, thinking in that way to
make up for the hours lost by droWsi-
ness. If he would abandon his owlish
habit, go 10 bed betimes and get his
seven or eight hours of continuous sleep
that he needs, his daytime and evening
drowsiness would disappear he could
do more and better work, and find life
much more enjoyable.
A slight drowSineSS is often noticed
after hearty meal. because active di-
gestion draws a greater volume of blood
TO the stomach, SO that the brain is rel
atively poorly supplied. In some southern
countries this tendency is favored, and
the siesta after the noon meal is ma
tional custom. With us, the after dinner
cup of black coffee often drives away the
impulse to sleep-whether for good or i'll
may be left to the Psychologists to de-
termine.
Sometimes we hear of attacks of sleep
mess occurring suddenly at certain
periods of the day at irregular inter
walls. These are altogether abnormal and
In such cases there is almost ALWAYS

which. because it is made In too great
quantity, or because constipation or kid
ney disease prevents its rs pid elimina-
ton, accumulates in the system.
An essential in the treatment of such
cases is dieting. Meat should be given
up. for time at least. and the onIy
beverage allowable is water or milk.
