Wrong On habits or Health.
Sleepiness is normal and
healthy condition when it occurs at
the usual bedtime and when not
extreme Pnd OEerpOwering, but it
is not always associated with sleep.
Some persons in perfect health and
excellent sleepers hardly know the
meaning Of drowsiness. 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 q complete and sat
isfactory 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 semieonsciousness.
In general, with the exception
noted at the beginning of this art
Gle, drowsiness is abnormal and in
dicates something wrong either
with the body of the sufferer OF 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 in
fiuence of digestion wears off, the
drowsiness disappears, and then, re-
heyed of his burden, the person
''sits up to all hours" again, think
ing IN that way to make up for the
hours lost by the drowsiness. If he
would abandon his owlish habit, 90
to bed betimes and get the 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 no
ticed after a hearty meal, because
digestion draws a greater volume of
blood TO the stomach, so that the
brain is relatively poorly supplied.
In some southern countries this
tendency is favored, and the siesta
after the noon meal is a national
custom. With as 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 determine.
Sometimes we hear of attacks of
sleepiness occurring suddenly at
certain periods of the day at IT.
regular intervals. These are alto
gether abnormal, and in such cases
there is almost always some poison
at work in the nervous centers,
usually a self manufactured poison,
which, because it is made in too
great quantity or because eonstipa-
ton or kidney disease prevents its
rapid elimination, aecumulates in
the system.
An essential IN the treatment of
such cases is dieting. Meat should
be given up for time at least, and
the only beverage allowable is water

So Muffey, who always did what
he was told, went through the win
dow and broke it all to smash.
The baker was very angry, and,
catching hold Of Muffey, said:
Now you'll stay and bake ginger
bread until you've paid for it,
So Muffey stayed and baked gin
gerbread every day, but it was al
ways the same old kind, and be-
cause the profits were small he
couldn't pay for the window. And
he became very tired of his task.
But one Saturday the baker went
away and he was very cross when
Muffey asked him what he should
bake that day.
Bake some cats and camels,"
said the baker. Muffey was de-
lighted. He took all the ginger
bread dough and shaped it into
pretty little cats and camels and
baked them In the oven.
When the baker came home he
was angry because he thought the
dough was all spoiled. He gath
cred up the cakes and threw them
out doors before Muffey could put
them in the window.
On Monday the baker went away
again, and Muffey asked the bak-
ers wife what he should bake.
Bake some pigs and peacocks,
she said, and smiled very disagree
ably. But Muffey was glad, and
made the cutest little pigs and pea
cocks with spreading tails, and he
hurried and put them in the win
dow.
And while the bakers wife was
crying that the dough was all
spoiled, a great many people came
IN and bought the pretty little
birds and animals, and paid so
high a price that Muffey was able
to pay for the broken window and
have quite a sum left from the ex-
ira profits.
That same night he ran away
and started a bake shop of his own

Once upon time there was a
baker that baked gingerbread-just
gingerbread every day in the week.
But one day there came to town a

Muffey, who was always asking
questions and then did whatever he

How does one walk up the
street?' he asked. And the person
that he asked was amused.

Muffey walked along picking up his
feet and putting them down just as

thought this a very silly question
so he said, why, go through the

DEATH AND THE DOCTOR.

The call came close to midnight;
but it found the doctor still at his
office. The summons had come
from a man whose name in that
city had long been symbol of
wealth and supreme achievement.
The examination was brief.
Death had already fixed his seal
on the rich mans drawn feature1

The physician had just finished
directing his assistant how to
compound the elixir, when he was
called to his waiting room.
The contrast to the dying mil
lionaire, aged, shriveled, alone in
his childless palace, rose wildly
before the doctor as he noted the
newcomer and his plump, kindly
features, telling in every line OF
home and family and warm
hearted acquaintanceship. But in
this the two were alike: In each
pair of eyes was the certainty OF
death.
This mans story was as old as
the request with which it concluded
was startling: His financial ruin
was as sure as the rising of the
next days sun. So he had come
for a poison that would give his

natural death.
This time there was no hesitation
about the physicians refusal. But

his purpose, he kept his caller in
conversation until the whole story
was in his possession.

The onion is sliced and put with
