Henri Bourassa, leader of the Quebec
Nationalist and one of the most not
able figures in the ranks Of those now
fighting the return of the Laurier gov
eminent In Canada, was born in Mon
treal, September 1, 1868, and was edu-
Gated by private tutors in that city In
1885 he removed to Monticello and for
several years was mayor of that place.
He entered federal politics In 1885, in
which year he was elected to the Do
minion house of commons. Three years
later he resigned his seat in order to
vindicate his position on the constitu-
tional aspect of the participation of
Canada in the South African war. He
was reelected by reclamation In 1900
and was again successful in the general
election in 1904. AS a member of par
lament Mr.. Bourassa was regarded as
brilliant and effective. He at first sup
ported but 1atterly criticized the I.au-
rier government. Through his Montre-
al newspaper, and in his speeches. he
is advising the electors of Quebec to
vote at the coming election against
Laurier and the extension of the Cana
dian navy. contracts for which are
about to be let.

How do you lie when you sleep? And

Ill admit 1t does sound so. but TIL
tell you why 1 ask 1t.
l have just been forcibly impressed
with the danger of forming too rigid
habit in this respect.
friend of mine was operated upon
for appendicitis. The operation was
eminently successful but my friend
had pretty serious time of 1t simply
because he had to lie on his back on
account of the incision. and having
Invariably slept on his side all his life
he could not get to sleep in the new
position.
A young business woman contributes
a less serious but none the less un-
pleasant experience. She sprained her

habit of always sleeping on that side,

tually incapacitated for work because
she had to lie on her back.
| There has been much said In medi-
| cal circles from time to time about the
proper position II which to sleep.
Some doctors advocate sleeping on
the back, others the right side.
