DiricibIes for the sIeepIess.

New York, June 2S.-Sleepless
people attention Be of good cheer A
man to rescue you from restless nights
is at handl The rescuer is Sidney F.
Beckwith, New York club man, and
literary dilettanter. The remedy is one
of the simplest ever proposed; merely
take a ride in a dirigible balloon.
Beckwith tried the recipe while so
journing in Louisiana, and it worked
like a charm. Every time he took an
aerial cruise he found that he slept like
log the following night.
The beauty Of the remedy lies in the
fact that any sort of diriglble will do
Zeppelin, Gross or Parseval type, as
we'll as any of the several American
makes.
Beekwith says il is fooissh to pay
more than $4,000 for your dirigible

Politics in Agitation.

That there is a considerable strain of
political bias in a section of the hostile
thrOng is shown by a letter sent to the
press by the chairman Of the Church As
ISOLATION. society embracing the evansel-
zeal branch of the established CHURCH, in
which conservatism is almost matter of
religious conviction.
The chairman. apparently assuming tina
John Redmond was the author Of the let
ter to the prime minister. says: "Mr.
Redmond carries his dictatorship beyond
the bounds of decency. Before the re-
mains of our late beloved king could be
laid in their coffin he has the audacity to
announce that his claim on Mr.. Asquith
is nothing less than that the bill of rights
and the act Of settlement, the twin foun-
dation of the British throne, shall be
treated as so much waste paper and be
deliberately disobeyed on the advice of
the prime minister.
This is but a sample OF the contempt
for the constitution and OF the hatred Of
the free institutions of this country which
are manifested by the paid agents of the
priest party. whose war chest is replen-
ished by Irish-American sympathiZers. A
lawyer of Mr.. Asquith's eminence. how
ever much he might wish a change made
in the law, would necessarily recoil at
the suggestion Of such a fragrant act Of
treacherous disloyalty as Mr.. Redmond
dares to suggest
