POSITION I'M SLEEPING

A number of French medical men have
given eir.opinion to the Matin Of Paris
on what they consider the healthiest
p 1sition for sleep.
DR.. Delorme, army medical inspector,
declares that the natural position is to lie
fat on ones back. Professor. Debone and
DR.. Daveniere, Of the School of Hygiene,
are of the same opinion, and point out
that lying on either side causes pressure
Of the arm. which may eventually bring
about paralysis.
Dr.. Landouzey, Of the medical faculty,
says that the bert position Is the most
comfortable position, and this is acquired
by habit. Il would be well, however, to
accustom oneself to sleep on the right
side. DR.. Lstulle, of the Medical Aead-
emy, maintains emphatieally that the
sleeper should always lie on the right
side and thus avoid indigestion and heart
troubles.
In startling contradiction comes state.
ment from heart specialist, DR.. Huchard:
81 always sleep on my left side, and /
think it is quite immaterial whether you
lie on your left or right side. The idea,
however, that those who cannot lie on
the left side snffer from heart affection is
quite erroneous -

In some tests by the Virginia Experi-

In a test covering 81 days 60 hens laid
1852 eggs on a skim milk diet, while alike

TABBY is UNDER A CLOUD
Scientist Interested in Protection Of
Birds Casts Grave Suspicion on
the House Cat.

Washington.-That house cats an
nually kill millions of wild birds in
the United States and that their vir-
tue as destroyers of rats and mice is
exaggerated is the statement of A. K.
Fisher of the department of agricul-
ture.
This onslaught on the character of
the cat is made in connection with a
defense of many of the predaceous
animals which Mr.. Fisher declares
generally live on some form of pests,
except when such food is scarce and
they have to resort to the chicken
roost, for instance, to exc out a liv-
ing until the crop of pests, which are
their food, gets abundant

keeps down the field mice and touches
other food only when its work of ex-
termination of the mice has been too
well done for its own good.
Mr.. Fisher pleads for moderation in
the treatment of predatory birds and
other animals on the ground that
their service as pest destroyers
should license them, when food is
scarce, to descend on domestic ami.

is small when compared with the
good the birds do the farmer.

GREAT RED CROSS SCHOOL
National Body to Instruct Tens of
Thousands of Steel Workers on
Aid to the Injured.

ington.-InstructiO in first
aid to the injured will be given bv the
National Red Cross to thousands of
employees of large corporations. first
among which will be those of the
United States Steel Corporation and
the Pennsylvania Steel Company.
During the last two years the Red
Cross has met with such success in
this work among corporation employees
that it is proposed to pursue similar
methods on a much larger scale than
in the past. Within the next month
more than 10000 employees of the steel
corporation will be instructed.
AS far as possible local physicians
will be utilized in giving this instruc-
ton. Glasses for instruction will be
formed in every large city of the
United States. Not only will sugges-
lions be given in aiding persons suf-
fering from the effects of accidents,
but the prevention of catastrophes in
times of danger will be feature of
the work.
Both President Taft and Surgeon
General Torney of the army, are deep
ly interested in this new effort on the
part of the Red Cross to add to it's
usefulness.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT
of Idaho Came Near to Seat Oc-
cupied by Roosevelt.

WashingtOn-'If former Senator
a philosopher; if he ever permitted
himself to have vain regrets, he would
now be kicking himself to use a
slang phrase, that he is not an ex
president of the United States instead
Of an ex-senator" remarked William
F. Clark, a veteran newspaper man OF
New York, at the Raleigh.
Dubois could have been president
his friends believe, although it would
have come about in the same manner
that Roosevelt became president.
Long before the convention of 1896,
that nominated William Mckinley, it
was known to Mark Hanna that the
silver Republicans were going to bolt
the convention. Hanna had a line on
Teller, Dubois, Cannon and PettigreW,
and he was fearful, astute political
general that he was, that the result
of the bolt might be disastrous in the
election. He didn't want to take any
chances on the silver men walking
out, because he was afraid that the
effect on the voters of the country
would be bad. and he wanted to cinch
the presidency for his friend McKin.
ley.
He didn't fear the Democratic
nominee at that time, whoever he
might be. OF course, Hanna had no
idea that Bryan would be nominated,
and he didn't anticipate that the issue
in that campaign would be the silver
question, although he knew that in
his own party it had reached an acute
stage. Hanna wanted to bury that
question, because he was aware that
1t would be popular with the people,
He did the wise thing-he made
overtures to the silver insurgents il
an effort to effect compromise. The
senator went to Teller and Pettigrew
and proposed that if the silver Repub-
liCanS would not walk out he would
agree to throw his support to Dubois
for vice president But the silver men
would not listen to the proposal, and,
as is we'll known, they walked out.
If Dubois and his silver friends had
agreed to the Hanna proposal, Dubois
would have been nominated, and it's
almost a sure thing that he would
have been renominated in 1900, for it
is ancient history now that the Repub-
licans had a hard time to get candi-

decay has been repaired by these pa
triOt women. The interior of the
church has been made to look as it
did when the WashingtoRs of Mount
Vernon, the FairfaXes of Belvoir, the
Masons of Gunston Hall and scores
of other colonial notables worshiped
there.
The church has been furnished with
the high-backed, private-boX-like peWs
and on these pews have been placed
old-fashiOned plates bearing the names
of the colonial and revolutionary pew
holders. This part of the restoration
was made possible by the recovery
recently of the original vestry book
of Truro parish, Of which parish Po-
hick church is the parish church.
The pulpit, reached by spiral stairs
has been rebuilt and the original
sounding board has been placed over
it. Under this pulpit have been bur-
led the bones of the Rev. Lee Massey,
Washington's pastor at Pohick. Lee
Massey was born in 1850, was the sec
ond pastor of POhick church and died
in 1914 and was buried on farm
about three miles from the church.
The grave was lately reopened and
the bones laid to rest under the stone
floor of the old church.
Pohick church was nearly a ruin
when the civil war came on, and dur
ing the war a Union picket post was
established there, the mems horses
being stabbed in the church Nearly
all the woodwork of the church was
torn out by the soldiers. Much of it
was burned. A few months ago Mr..
Meade, the pastor of Pohick, received
from a union veteran one of the bal
listers of the chancel rail. He had
taken this baluster from the church
when he was stationed there as a SOL
der. With the aid of this relic the
chancel rail was restored and this
original baluster, properly marked
for Identification, was inserted in the
rail.
The original baptismal font of the
church was found in Fairfax county
for at least IS years as a horse
trough. 1t is now re-established in it's
old place in the church.
The first Pohick church was built
in 1892, about two miles from the site
of the present church. The Mount
Vernon Washingtons attended that
church. In 1870 the church was much
out of repair and Washington and Ma
son proposed the building of a new
church. George Mason. the author
of the Virginia bill of rights, favored
the construction of the new church on
the old site, while Washington IA
vOred site two miles nearer Mount
Vernon, claiming that the more CEN
trail site for all the members of the
church. Washington won, and the
present church was built in 1873.
Washington was long a vestryman of

in life that Washington became a
