Slesplessness seldom kills.
Doctors say victims exaggerate.
There are worse things than lying
awake.
Don't do exhilarating stunts before
turning IN.
Find out If ySur bed clothing is
light, yet warm.
Change the height Of your pillow or
slip it out entirely
Get up and brush your hair gently
or read until your lids droop.
Sometimes a hot footbath. massage
or cold spinal douches will help.
Do not so to bed on a faint stom.
Sch. Drink a glass Of hot milk.
A diet Of lettuce often produces
Eleepiness and warm drinks are eff.
fectual.
All medical authorities of today con.
cede that eight hours is the minimum
OF sleep for brain workers.
Any mechanical device can be re-
sorted to without harm. It needs only
q trial. but opiates are something tc
shun.

The other girls looked where she
pointed and beheld a woman of unde-

"Oh, don't think she so bad" said
Miss Short, anxiously glancing down
at her own lower eXtremities and max

near the shoulder, with an imper-
ceptible sigh of relief to find that II,
too, was proportional to her other
limbs.

tone OF perfect content with herself,
that this work won't decrease my

Beck, as at personal afront. as she

folds of black boomers unless she put

On the same farm there are many
small sidewalks. They are narrow
and require little material and very
little work. The picture shows the
forms that are needed and all the tools
required for the making Of such work.
When spring-tims with it's heavy rains
comes, those walks pay for them
selves many tines over. There is no
reason why the farm should not be
equipped with - good sidewalks as 10

outlay for eemsR4 and odd times may
be utilized for making permanent
walks Ike this.
Many different kinds Of tanks can
be used on the farm.

DON'T DECEIVE YOURSELF.

Are you afraid at times to confess
your ignorance?
Now, DO honest and say yes.
And II it's any consolation to you
I'll say-"Me, too"
But I'm gradually learning q lesson
"a valuable one.
I'm learning to say I don't know
when 1 don't.
I'm getting over bluflng my way
through the dark.
Why? Because I can't learn By re-
naming ignorant
And II don't confess my Ignorance
to some one, maybe myself
I'll never learn.
Learn to seek reasons: ask Ques-
lions; be inQuisitive; find out.
II you keep on supposing and guess
Ing you'll grow into a chronic sup
pose, and worst OF all, you'll get to
fooling yourself. First thing you
know. you'll be able to convince your
self that everything which isn't So
is so.
That's bad business.
What every man needs is 20 know
that which isn't So and to confess
when he doesn't know.
Ignorance is better than deception.

TO THE VOTERS
Final Reasons For Voting For Theo
dore Roosevelt.

Flndi reasons For Young roT lncO-
dore Roosevelt.
Voters of Bennington:
The sober second thought as well
as the first sound judgment, points
just one way--to Theodore Roosevelt.
Mr.. Taft is absolutely and tremen-
dously beaten. He will run third,
and poor third in many states. Sur
face signs, the undercurrent of the
silent vote, and the admission of
leading papers generally through the
country that are supporting him, all
prove il.
Vermont is going for Roosevelt.
The Progressive club enrolment in
Bennington County is two and three
times the September vote. Similar
reports are coming from other sec
tons OF the state. Democrats are
breaking to him as well as Republi-
cans.
The fact of good crops, a bumper
harvest year, is not fooling the peo-
pie. The shining of the sun and
abundant rains Mr.. Taft has nothing
to do with. The so-called prosperity
argument is the silliest attempt at
hoodwinking the voters devised.
Business men of brains know that
under Roosevelt this country will
boom in wealth and enterprise just
the same And what is more, hui
manity will have its rights and the
common people a greater share in all
the good things Of nature and of God.
Mr. Taft is dull to social and in
dustrial justice. He doesn't see any
more than the amireable Buchanan
saw in his time that the crisis is up
on us. A jolly good fellow can't
steer the ship of state in troubled
waters. We need the strong man.

The tariff issue means much to Ben
nington. Mr.. Roosevelt is as strong
a Protectionist in principle as Mr..
Taft. But there is this difference.
Not a petty, powerless tariff board
will attempt to secure data for any
needed revision, but a permanent
commission clothed with real power
will make its recommendations ON
scientific study of the facts. And
there will be a square deal for all.
