READING IN BED GOOD FOR
 NERVES BUT RUINS EYES

There are few habits out of which the average man or woman gets more real enjoyment than that of reading in bed When the cares of the day are over and mind and body can both relax is the time when ones favorite book or magazine is most inviting, and an hour or so over its pages is often the best prep aration for a healthful, refreshing nights sleep. In fact, physicians often recommend reading in bed to nervous patients who suffer from in- somnia.
 Beneficial as the habit may be to the mind and nerves, it has quite the opposite effect on the eyes. Ocu- lists have for long time been pug

CANDLE STICK III A
 GLASS OF WATER

A glass of water would not seem to be a very suitable holder for a lighted candle. and yet by simple arrangement it may be made into quite serviceable candlestick.
 The tumbler should have water poured into it for about three-quart- CTS of it's length. A piece of an ordinary wax or composite candle is then taken, and nail stuck into it's lower end in the same line with the body of the candle
 The nail is for ballast, and in choosing it care should be taken that the nail is of such a thickness and weight as to cause the candle to float with only quarter of an inch above the water line. If the candle is now lighted it will burn steadily almost down to the bot tom.
 The sides of the tumbler prevent currents of air reaching the flame and blowing it about, and if the glass stands upon the table and Is not shaken the water will not flow over the edge of the candle, for as the flame burns and the candle gets shorter it becomes at the same time lighter and rises.
 The flame burns far more steadily than if the candle were in an or dinary candle-stick, for not only are there no varying air currents to blow the light flame about but the water keeps the outside of the can dle cool all round, so that the flame hollows out for itself kind of cup in the wax. Such a contrivance makes good substitute for night light.

Time To Act.

II IL time for Baxter Springs
people to get together and act az
q unit for the upbuilding Of the
town. The strikes made on the
lands adjoining this town on the

show one continuous ore body.
The ore finds mean that Bax-
ter Springs can grow IL her peo.
pie desire her to grow. There IL
no reason 10 the world why ,Bax.
ter Springs should not increase
In population more than . thous-
and in the next twelve months.
There 10 one way for this condi-
tion to be brought about.
Let q big rousiug meeting be
held. Get hold of some fellow
for . talkeT who can enthuse the
hold backs. Let the meeting be
for the express purpose Of finding
out who can and will build some
houses. Let the fellows sign lit
tie pledge cards, or a gentlemau's
agreement that they viii build at
least some sort of 4 house for new
people to live 10. The town can't
grow another bit without more
houses.
Two, three and four room
houses will pay 4 return on the
investment of from IS to IS per
cent. What, in the name of hea-
ven, do you want better than
that2
Do you want your town to
grow-to get to the frout-to be
placed on the hustling map of the
universe? Then get busy and
talk to your neighbor. Agree
with him to build 4 house, and
after. you have him ciuched, make
the same sort of agreement with
some other fellow. Make the
agreement with as many fellows
as you can get to listen to you.
Il won't be necessary to talk
much. Just impress on him the
need and the big return on the
investment, and he will join you.
And after this sort of thing is
started It will be mighty hard to
stop it. But who in the world
wants to stop it?
