The father was notified by wire,
Friday evening, of the dangerous

again demonstrated their faith in
the work of the Chamber Of Com
merce by subscribing literally to
the maintenance fund for the com
ing year. The amount raised so far
totals $lS,600. exclusive of dues
which amount to about $3.50 per
month. At the last meeting of the

junction with the publicity commit
tee. was instructed to place adver-
tising contracts not to exceed $1,000
per month. Several advertising
contracts are now pending, and will
be announced next week. The com.

SLEEpLESSNESS

OLASL<A A<4-fO9ANGOR
Sleeplessness is due to the press
enee of too much blood in the
head. Instead of taking a drug
to induce sleep, employ a simple
remedy to equalize the circula7
ton.
If the brain has been actively
engaged just before bedtime, it is
wise to takea short brisk walk IN
the open air. to put the blood into
normal action.
A cold bath or rundown is
equally good for some people
while hot bath will be found to
induce sleep in others. These
must be tried to see which is the
better for the individual case.
Lettuce and onions are both
sleep producers. Eat the lettuce
fresh at supper time. Take the
onions sliced raw, or in a syrup
just before retiring. Rubbing the
extremities with a rough towel is
another way of equalizing the cir
culation and inducing sleep.
If a person is troubled with
wakeful hours in the night, after
having been asleep, once, it IS
wise to get up and eat crust of
bread.
This has the same effect. Il
starts the stomach working, and
that in turn draws the blood from
the head.
Because it is difficult to sleep
when the brain is overactive, a
child should not be excited just
before the bedtime hour.

Modesto formerly was a soldier
in the Italian army. He shot and
killed another soldier, and was
sentenced to 80 years imprison-
ment. He was taken to the pen
; itentiary at Calabria, Italy, but
escaped from there after two
months.
Modesto then came to this
country, Three years ago, he
stabbed and killed man in
Jamestown, Pa. One year ago, he
shot and badly wounded a bar

Recently the Italian consul re-
ceived information that Modesto
was in Chicago. He sent out cir
culars asking that he be arrested.
Riccio, who was in the same Ital-

nized him on the street and pick
ed him up.
Modesto probably will be re-
