THE ONLY WAY TO SLEEP.
One chilly evening up at Lake Ho-
IN, ka ,al1 Io
a number of people were lolling about
in the hotel sitting-room before big
blazing log fire. Edwin Markham, au
thor of "The Man with the Hoe, -
was there, talking poetry with some
literary minded newcomers.
Well, it's about bedtime" said
one pale city man. And a mighty
cold night, too. This is the kind Of
night when pity those who have to
sleep outside
"Pity me, then," said Markham.
"Why sof" said the man curious
ly. "You don't have to sleep out, do
you, Mr.. Markhamf"
"No; don't have to-" was the
poet quit reply. But / dc" Then
he explained that during his annual
six months stay up at the lake he al

his cottage, no matter what the wealth

bodily well-being.
Freedom from insomnia, for which
outdoor sleeping is an absolute specific.
The wonderfully recuperative and
vitalizing processes of which one quick
ly reaps the benefit, even though at
first badly run down in physique.
The consciousness of escape from
conditions that hamper if they do. not
actually threaten human life
Immunity from colds and the dis
eases they engender.
As to colds, let me relate the ex-
perience of John Muir, the old natural
ist and mountain guide who conducted
Roosevelt and Taft on their journeys
through the Sierras:
Muir contracted bronchitis. After
coughing about the house for a while
he announced to his wife that he was
going giacier-elimbing in Alaska.
:" Not in your condition, John" pro-
tested Mrs Muir.

good for bronchitis as to sleep out on
