For the SIeepiess,

To overcome sleeplessness one should perform intense mental work during the first part of the day. The eve- nings should be devoted to uniform occupation in a uniform environment. and one should be careful to take a sufficient amount of muscular exer- else. If the lungs are cramped by improper posture they fail to get the proper amount of oxygen and do not throw of the waste and poisonous mat ters they should. A warm bath will often draw the blood to the surface of the body and thus bring about sleep. Those who persist in going over in their minds the affairs of the day should sip cup of warm water slowly or a glass of warm milk.

MARRIAGES

In Brookly lyn, !January l9, by Rev. A. P.sknell, Victor Smith and Mrs. Lucy Jarvis Waghorn, both of Brook lyn.
New Britain herald., 1915-03-20

this law it has been decided that the
earnings of a wife from services rem
dered to a third party. distinct from
The common law duties she owes her
husband in the marital relation, be-
long to the wife. and she is entitled
TO recover therefor" The word occu-
patton in the statute Isl construed to
cover work for wages
There are exceptional cases. Where
the wife performs services for third
party under contract made by the
husband. or where their earnings
co-mingle in one housenoId, the mat
ter becomes somewhat implicated.
III any case of doubt, 1.-THE husband
may forego his right to his wife's
earnings, and unless done in fraud of
creditors the property she acquires
with his knowledge and assent,
whether in the household or outside,
vests in her" A contract by n hus-
band to pay his wife for household
services is void as against creditors,
and property transferable to her on
such contract may be reached by
creditors. But ali of that is q. matter
of intent. In the simple and Gus
tonaary case the earnings of wife
from services performed for third
party, that is to say. from work per-
formed for others than her husband,
are hers alone. She may do with
them as she likes, and property ac-
quired by her with such money of her
own is safe from the husband or his
creditors.
That is man made law. The wife
may earn money and put it beyond
the husbands reach. He has no
claim against 1t for himself. He can
not require the wife to support him
out of her means. He must support
her out of his. He cannot legally
segregate his earnings beyond her
legal reach.

Reflections of a She Constable.
New York Sun

If it be true, as some dispatches
tell us, that Mrs. Anna Steinauer is
Boston's only policewoman," no
shadow of reproach therefor darkens
the White radiance Of Boston's con-
scious superiority. Every she and he
is a constable of morality, a watch
man or WatchWoman of the neigh
bors and strangers, an oNerseer Of
other folks business. EXulting justly
in her official splendor, however, the
lone policewoman unveils the iniqui-
ties of the Three Killed city:
Boston girls are cigarette smokers.
This is, | am sorry TO say, true, but
let me say here that il is not among
tho middle class we find the greatest
number of girl smokers, but among
the very wealthy and very low. The
women of the lower class and the
women of society are the sn okers.''
Observe the delightful wrench of
logic whereby some Boston girls are
cigarette smokers" is turned into
"Roston girls are cigarette smok ers.
So, few years ago, a female Cato
desc ribed the thirst, imaginary or
real of a few Boston women, piled
the bottle score to incredible num-
bers, relapsed into welcome silence.

/ ANGLE ACQUITTED.

anot a murder charge that
s1ght against Mrs. Angle of
NJ, who has been on trial in
port for several days but man
Her which meant in effect that
vas responsible for Ballou's death
pugh she did not mean to be, in
er words that there was no malice
lthe killing. She has been acquitted
eeived with cheers. '
Nh This cannot be reasonably classed
with those mysterious murder cases
which have gone unpublished in this
state because there can be an explana-
tfon made which will explain. This
was done by the woman's counsel and
was referred to by States Attorney
Cummings when he said that the man
might have fallen downstairs, though
the evidence did not prove it. The wo-
man was her own best witness She
had been suffering from nervous ex-
haustion but she realized that If any
thing would save her it would be the
story she could tell herself She went
on the stand and passed through
most trying ordeal, but there is scarce
ly and doubt but that it gave her her
liberty.
The pair had been drinking the
night that Ballou was killed and what
ever may have been the use of the
mans death it undoubtedly grew out
of frequent recourse to the bottle The
man may have fallen downstairs, and
while it will probably never be pub
licly known whether it was by acct
dent or violence, the former can be
made to fit into the case with reason.
The trial attra cted great deal of at
tent1on, the New York as we'll as the
Connecticut papers giving considerable
space to 1t daily The accused and
the victim were well known and this
had much to do with the matter of
publicity. 1t was not case, however,
where there needs to be any further
speculation. No one will ever be con-
victed of the crime if there was one
committed. There is. nothing very
mysterious about it and the jury's YER
dict Of acquittal was rather expected.

Connecticut hasn't engaged in pro-
duce and fruit raising to such an ex-
tent that it is able as yet to supply
the demands of It's citizens. The OPP
rortunity for it exists, but discour-
agement rather than encouragement
is fostered by the propagation OF deer,
which roam the state destroying crops
and young trees. They are pretty
creatures and 1t is a delight to see
them browsing on a hillside or clear
irg a fence as they enjoy the pro-
lection of. Connecticuts law, but there
is small recompense to those whose
property they destroy. Such a thing
would not be tolerated If an equal
number of cattle was turned loose to
get a living off the titled or untitled

BILLY MAKES THEM PAY

There has been consid cradle said as
to the value of the preaching Of the
Rey Billy Sunday and also as to the
sincerity of his converts No one has
ever doubted the fact, however that
he is making money rapidly and there
are a few who have said that he
makes it easily. There is some evil
dence that he makes people pay their
bills. There is no half way business
about Billy's religion. He says that
people must come right up to the
plate and bat and obey the law or
there is no hope for them in the next
world. Before Billy began operations
in Philadelphia John Wanamaker had
hundreds Of bad debts that had been
his associates, who had been trying
to collect them. to give it up as time
was being wasted. Now he says that
the most of the bills have been paid
and he adds that he could afford to
give Billy a commission for collecting
them. Here is evidence that Billy has
been reaching the people, making
them understand that they must pay
their debts or Aud Clootie will have
them later on. This has done the
business and Wanamaker and other
business men in Philadelphia are In
money as result.
It is estimated that over 100000
people have heard Billy since he cams
to Philadelphia eleven weeks ago. He
will wind up his campaign there to-
morrow. Billy is a most spectacular
evangelist. There is not another like
him and never was. He is no grammar
ian, he talks like he did on the ball field
but he gives evidence of earnestne ss
and that coupled with his peculiar
manner on the platform has got the
people He went to the ball ground
the other day, batted out a home run
and circled the bases In sixteen sec
onds, showing that he can still run
He used to be the fastest base runner
in the national league. He has more
honey now than he had then, but he
| cannot run as fast.
