WITH HEAD TO THE NORTH
Reasons Why That Position In sleep
ing May BE Beneficial, Especially
to Those In Poor Health.

In answering a subscribers ques-
ton as to why one should sleep with
ones head to the north, DR.. Robert
-. Morris in st. Nicholas says;
"Electric currents run north and
south, through the earth. An object
is said to be in a state of better cleo
trio rest is it's long axis is in line
with the earth's electric currents. II
is my impression that the custom of
sleeping with the head to the north
was adopted before anything was
known about these currents. If that
is the case, | take it to mean that
!. certain persons are SO readily af-
R4ected by these influences that they
find themselves disturbed if they try
to sleep with the short axis of the
body in line with them.
a have purposely made the exper-
iment and have asked friends to
make it when we we're in camp.
None of us noted any connection be-
tween our sleep and our position in
regard to points of the compass. We
were strong and well, however. 1t
might be quite different with inva-
lids.
''The volume of these terrestrial
currents is not commonly appreci-
ated. Drive any iron rod into the
ground at right angles to the plane
of the earth's surface and it at once
becomes a magnet"

LATEST KITCHEN.

The sanitary and most satisfactory
kitchen has glazed tile walls and the
ceiling is sheathed with pressed sheet
iron painted white. The range has
hoods over it to carry off the odors
and heat and to make the room cool
and comfortable. The floor is of
cork tile or of cement, with strips of
mating laid upon it-these can be
easily taken up. A drain in the CEN
ter carries off the water from the
floor after washing.

Business, Not .lendshlp.

The friendship that keeps a ledger
and is always balancing accounts Is
not friendship at all. The fear that
one may give more to his brother than
ne receives from him, that must have
every favor returned as though II
were a loan. every gift, visit, invita-
ton, even expression of affection, paid
back in knd-that may be a pleas
ant business proposition, but it has no
claim TO be called friendship.-Great
Thoughts.

PIG IN A "PoKE."

- Poke is an older form of the word
pouch or bag. The Celtic word was
'poc" or 'poca," whence also is our

Alaskan prospectors, where poke is
commonly used in designation of the
buckskin pouch in which their talk

Ames. Aug. l2-The Iowa apple crop

probably the production will not equal

very much smaller shipment of low

SIMPLE APPLICATION
THAT DISSOLVES
BLACKHEADS

No more squeezing and pinching to
get rid of those unsightly blemishes,
blackheads. There is one simple, safe
and sure way to get them out and that
is to dissolve them. To do this just
get about two ounces of powdered
neroxin from your druggist-sprinkle a
little on hot, wet sponge-rub briskly
over the blackheads for a few seconds
wash the parts and every blackhead
will be gone.
Pinching and squeezing out black
heads make large pores and you can
not get all Of the blackheads out this
way-while this simple application of
powdered neroxin and water dissolves
every particle OF them and leaves the
skin and pores IN their natural condi-
tic.. Any druggist will sell you the
powdered neroxin and about two ounces
win b all you will ever need.
