A well ordered linen closet is a Joy

usual line closet is built into some
Granny of the upper hall, in rather
dark, out-of-the-way corner. This sort
of closet is, of course, Just as useful as
the larger airier one, and with little
attention can be made to look almost

mus Midget had to face alone an OPP
portunity and question. such as are
given to few men to solve.
Should he try to save those black
dots alone, and run the risk of losing
his life and all chance that they
might be saved? Or should he return
to the station, call GU the rest OF the
crew and do what would then be easy
with Lyle gun and breaches buoy
easy II the wind would let a shot
carryl
The final outcome is proof enough
that 1t was no selfish fear of his own
life that caused him to hesitate-rath-
er was 1t nice balancing of POSSIBLE
tiles. If he lost his own life in trying
to aid sihgle-handed and alone, he lost
also all chance of the life crews
knowing of the wreck in time. If he
returned to the station to bring help,
1t must be three hours before an at
tempt at rescue could be made-and
would the wreck last three hours?
A problem, truly, and one to be
solved with all the force of the worst
storm on record breaking and smash
ing about him, with those choked-off
cries for aid in his ears, and only the
small and pitiful chance of one mans
strength against the strength of the
sea and wind before his eyes.
But Rasmus Midget was not a

of the famous crews of a famous
service-for nothing 1t took him but
few minutes to realize that there
was not one hour of life. let alone

An egg heater will do many things
besides beat eggs. If custard boils
little too much, keep 1t from curd-
ling by beating thoroughly. Use 1t also
for lumpy gravy. After boiled salad
dressing is removed from the double
boiler beat it hard for few minutes,
and it will be much more delicate and
fluffy. One may use the heater for
cake batter. Reduce the milk with a
couple of tablespoonfuls of hot water,
which will soften the batter so that
you can beat the sugar, butter, milk

Mr.. Deakin's resignation was accepted

Acknowledgements Of his great services to

The labor party anticipates that Mr..
Cooks selection improves the chances of

MAN WHO DOESN'T SLEEP
INTERESTS SCIENTISTS
Statement of Harvard Professor
However, Causes Some
Skepticisn.

The case OF the Harvard professor who
has not slept for twenty years and who
| obtains his rest in the twilight state Is
exciting interest IN scientific circles 1t
Is also exciting skepticism, although the
premises are not regarded as having been
set forth in a manner clear enough to
permit of exact Judgment.
Although there Are many authoritative
works on the subject of sleep, there is not
known to be in Washington any scientist
expert on that or it's kindred subject in
somnia. Many physicians, however, have
been called upon to treat sleeplessness.
The twilight state is regarded by
those who have given study to the SUBJ
ject as misapplied In the case of the Har-
ward professor. and in no way reSem-
bles what is known as the twilight state"
among alienists, psychologists and other
students of mental phenomena. The de-
scription of the case. as given in the
press, is regarded as more or less incOm-
prehensible.
Twilight state" according to DR.. Will
liam A. White, superintendent of the Gov
eminent Hospital for the Insane. is the
liberal translation of a German term ap-
piled to condition which is more or less
deliriup' and in no way resembles sleep.
Epileptics, issuing from a paroxysm fire.
quently enter the twilight state and for
several days, sometimes, do things and
say things more or less violent, of which
they have no recollection on return to full
consciousness.
The process of slowly going to sleep
when first the hands and feet then the
members. and one part of the body after
another passes from the mental conscious
ness of bodily entity; and finally only the
brain seems awake, until that, too, wan
ders, without ability to concentrate itself
on it's surroundings, but occupies itself
with memories or half-dreams-is called
the "hypnogogic state condition moro
resembling what is discussed in the press
accounts of these phenomena.
The evidence of insOmniacs is not at all
conclusive, DR.. White points out, on the
matter of determining the amount of sleep
they obtain. He was inclined to question
the testimony of any man who would say
| that he never slept, although the declara-
ton is by no means an uncommon one to
be made by insomniacs.
| Not fully understanding what are the
actual phenomena attached to the case of
the Harvard professor, DR.. White would
not comment.

Inc Billy Postum spent the very
coolest days of winter curled up III his
warm, snug home in big hollow tree
in the Green Forest. Unc' Billy didn't like
the cold weather Sometimes he would
stick his head out of his doorway and
then, as he heard rough Brother North
Wind whooping through the Green
Forest, he would turn right around and
go back to his bed for another nap. And
all the time he would be saying:
Way down souf de sun am shinin';
Vas sab, dat am SO!
Fo' dat lam nah heart am pinfn;
Vas, sah dat am so!
De hooking bird he sings all day;
De alligators dey am at play.
De flowers dey am bloomin' fair.

Now. inc Billy had prepared for the
winter by getting just as fat as he knew
how. He was so fat that he could hardly

Green Forest. You see he knew that If
he was very, very fat he wouldn't have
to worry about getting anything to eat.
not for a long time, anyway. So when
the ice and snow came and Unc' Billy
decided that it was more comfortable In
doors than outdoors, he was almost as
fat as Johnny Chuck was when he went
to sleep for the long winter.
Now. Johnny Chuck just slept and
slept and slept without waking once the
whole winter long. But inc Billy Pos
sum couldn't sleep like that. He had to
stick his head out every little while to see
how the world was getting along without
him. When the sun was bright and the
air was not too cold. inc Billy would
sometimes climb down from his hollow
tree and walk about little on the snow
to stretch his legs. But he didn't enjoy
It much. 1t made his feet cold. and then
he didn't like the tracks he made. He
scowled at them, for he knew we'll enough
that If Farmer Browns boy should hap
pen along he would know right away
who had made those tracks and then
would hunt for Unc' Billy's home in the
hollow tree. SO Unc' Billy didn't go out
very much, and very seldom indeed when
the snow was soft
1t seemed to Unc' Billy Postum as if
the winter never, never would go. He
was beginning to grow thin now. and,
Of course, he was getting hungry. He
began to think about it and the more he
thought about it the hungrier he grew.

couldn't sleep a wink. All he could do
