Unreasonable Suggestion.

Mr., Means suggestion that the
owners Of the condemned properties on
Fort street should scale their awards
to a figure that would como within the
appropriation is, in my opinion, asking
a little too much, ii seems to me the
only thing that can be done by those
who favor this particular site is to get
busy + pFh nation and have the M
propriatifi, for the Hto increased by
100000. The only other alternative is
for the citizens who favor that block
as = sitt for q federal building to pct
OUT and raise the money by public sub
scllptioa, Such a proposal could hardly
DO tplsen seriously
I" Both alternatives failing, It does
DOT take Q prophet to toll what tho
outcome will be. -

Coaxing Father Morpheus

Inability to so to sleep Is form
of nervousness which brings about a
train of evils, and is one of beautys
worst enemies. 1t is difficult to OBJ
tain sleep after the brain has been
overworked and excited. This Is due
to the fact that all mental activity
dilates the brain by filing 1t with
blood.
Thus it is obvious that to secure
sound sleep perfect tranquility Of
mind is necessary. 1t should be borne
in mind that sleep holds the next
place to food in the restoration or
lost nerve force, says the Buffalo
Sunday Times.
In order to bring about the de-
sired condition for sleep various
methods are employed. A very SIM
pie one, which in most cases has
proved effective, is, after one has pre-
pared for retiring, to lie fiat upon the
back without pillow under the head,
and with the hands under the back
to inhale deeply in this position and
hold the breath for few seconds,
then to exhale.
No length of time can be stated for
this exercise but 1t is continued un-
til one is almost asleep, then the
hands may be removed from under
the back and another position taken
If desired.
The eyes should be partly closed
and not centred on anything; the
mind should be concentrated upon
the breathing; in fact, II one counted
slowly the length of time consumed
in inhaling then the same in exhaling,
the mind will soon be relieved of
mental activity.

Jaynes steered among some drift

Then they stepped into the toy
department, and for a moment
stood still, trying in vain to take
in the wonders that were displayed
before their eyes. On every side
were toys of every description,
and elbowing their way up and
down the aisles were hundreds Of
eager, excited people. Baby Buster
pointed chubby finger at a funny
little dog, which jumped when you
touched q spring, saying with en-
phasis, Want it, Want It'll"
Not now," said mother Dear,
laughing and leading him away.
Dorothy wanted to see the dolls,
Of course, and nurse Nellie took her
to the doll section, while Davi~ and
Buster stood transfxed before a
big, big pool, on which boats Of all
sorts were chugging about, kept
going by half-grown boy.
"He just winds 'em up and they
go; and when they slow down he
winds EN- up again" Davie ex-
plained to mother Dear, az il quite
sure that not being a man like
himself she wouldn't understand,
Look, motheri There's q motor
boat just like the one we used to
ride in on the river at Ideal. See
it?"
Yes, dear" said mother Dear.
1--WE mustn't stand here too long.

Baby Buster adored that display.
He held out his arms to the stuffed
animals and spied one Teddy bear
which he felt quite sure was his
own, and promptly demanded it.

home, sound asleep" mother Dear
hastily announced. leading him up
the aisle: lets go find Dorothy and
nurse Nellie, and see all the beau
tiful dollsl Come, Davie."
Thus they progressed through the
big toy section. Dorothy almost
wept over the beauty of the little
writing desks and chairs, and
Davies eyes shone as he spied the
sleds and toy automobiles. There
was trouble when they reached the
place where gay little trains were
running madly around on tracks,
for baby Buster refused to bulge.
Hands clasped behind his back, he
stood fascinated commanding the
young man In charge to do II aden''

anxious all at once.

Dorothy and Davie and mother
Dear and nurse Nellie and baby
Buster stood in a row in front Of
one of the toy windows OF a big de-
partment store. Dorothy and Davie
and Buster were staring with all
their eyes at the wonderful display
therein, and mother Dear and nurse
Nellie were staring at the children,
and nobdy could tell whose eyes In
the whole group were brightest.

removed her gaze from a little
Dutch doll who wore the prettiest
little pointed cap she had ever seen.
The points were wired so that they
pertly pointed upward, and Dorothy
was just resolving to make one for
her best and biggest doll, Hide
garde, when Davie caught her
sleeve. What att" she repeated,
a trihe impatiently.

pointing with his red-gloved hand,
"over therei See you can make

finger and saw a display of minia-
ture iron girders. bolts, screws and
various other articles that men use

Couldn't I have fun with 'em,

Mother Dear nodded.
Indeed do" she declared,
smiling down at Davie, 'and II

finished Davie, giving a clumsy
little skip by way of expressing
his rapture, "I'll be good, all right!
I'll be good as--as-as anything,
ne promised with fervor.
"See that you don't forget" eau
toned mother Dear; come, chill
dren, let's go inside" And she led
the way into the big store. holding
tightly to Davies hand, with Doro-
thy on her other side and nurse
Nellie and baby Buster bringing up
the rear.
.'If we lose each other in tire
crowd we'll meet at this door," said
nurse Nellie, and the others agreed.
Dorothy and Davie gasped as the
elevator shot up suddenly, feeling
very queer inside. The elevator
stopped and they laughed. and
when the elevator shot up again
were quite prepared for the queer
feeling and didn't mind 1t at all.
