TIMES AND PLACE FOR SLEEP
Churches and Street Cars Are Favored
But the Cory Bed Affords
Most Delightful Pastime.

There are lots of people who say
they don't sleep well ut night. But
there are many who regularly 60 to
sleep In the street car. OF course,
those who go to sleep in church are
not counted. That might be construed
as libel, observes the Milwaukee News.
But why do perfectly healthy folks
want to sleep In street cars? Is 1t a
protest against the wistful-eyed strap
hanger who gazes at their large and
apathetic laps? Is 1t mere within, de-
string to shut out the events of the
day and snatch a quiet moment Of
dreaming as a respite?
1t Is often mere pie, just q rampant
indigestion. 1t Is also the bad air due
to offices that devitalize the worker
compelled to breathe it eight hours.
1t Is also due TO the terrible habit Of
shutting all available car windows in
dread of that fresh air which is the
best friend a w%orkingman has.
Going TO sleep is Il delightful pas

minutes after luncheon, which Is a

rode over the ridge. lie stood for
some time staring after them with
what Billy Louise called his gimlet
look. He was breathing shortly from
the pressure he had put upon his self
control. and he was thinking, thinking.
The silence came creeping in on the

of their voices. Ward took Il long

looked peaceful enough and cozily de-
slrable to = man who has slept out for
four nights late in the fall, but a glance
was all Ward gave to it.
His eyes searched the bluff below him
and upon either side. OF a sudden they
s%harpcned. He brought his rifle for
ward with an involuntary motion OF
the arms. He stood so for a breath or
two, looking down the hill. Then he
vent forward ~stealthily on his toes;
swiftly, too, so that presently he was
close enough to see the carbuncle scar

is interesting. Eight of the principal

Canning in most homes is done in

that the t%wO-quart packs may be used

FEDERAL SERVICE SHOWS
MORE SUGAR CONSUMED

Returns from the first war
emergency food survey made by
the U. s. department Of agricul-
ture indicates that the amount
Of sugar consumed In 1917
was about 1873 pounds per
capita whereas the average
annual consumption for the
five-year period ending in 1915
was S4.7 pounds per capita. The
evident increase in consumption,
says the department, is due In
part to the increased manufac-
ture for export Of commodities
like condensed milk and to an
increase in population coupled
with an increased consumption
by individuals and to an In
crease in consumers stocks.
