Former Nervous Wreck Cured b,
Sleeping Upright in Chair With

Former Nervous Wreck Cured by
Sleeping Upright in. Chair With
Chin on His Fists.
Why pay Physicians bills when you
can sleep in chair?
Herewith "Matts Roeder. depart
ment manager of Chicago manufac-
turing company, advances theory
which he says he developed aping an
ape.
"One year ago" Roeder explained,
Il was physical wreck-rheumatism /.
and stomach trouble. Unable to sleep
I rode in electric cars and took long
walks at all times of the night. This
soothed me for time and, early one
morning. while on journey to Lin.
coin Park, the idea occurred to me to
initiate the ape in his manner Of rest.
His body stiffly erect he supports his
head between clenched fists while
sleeping. All Of the vital organs are
left free.
$50 I abandoned my bed and began
sleeping in bard, straight backed
chair. Every muscle in my body ached
when l began, but / was determined
to give 1t fair trial. At the end Of a
month, tried the bed and sot up in
the morning feeling more wretchei
than ever. Then 1 went at it in ear-
nest and in six months the only thing
that affected my stomach or nerves
was the sight of bed. 1 was jprac
tically cured.
"At first slept ON chair at the
store. Then discovered all hight
shows and decided to Introduce the
cabaret feature in my sleeping. Three
hours of sleep under. such conditions
is equivalent to ten hours of rest in
a bed, and there is little possibility
of developing disease in the stomach,
heart or muscles.
ITO sprawl upon ones stomach or
tack in a stuffy bed is ridiculous and
injurious as well," was the closing
statement OF the man who was cured
by aping the ape.

HUNS PROPAGANDA

damnable effort of the propagandists
aims at arousing distrust, antipathy
between America and her allies. The
means adopted to accomplish this re-
suit have been far-reaching. One
false thought they are trying to sow
in the minds Of the American people
is that there is an irreconcible racial
difference between us and the Latin
races. They assert that we are more
closely akin to the Germanic races,
not only by blood but by habits of
thought, industries, and methods of
living. No such story is too little to
publish. And last, the fact that
England has declared an embargo up!
on foreign goods is being utilized to
its utmost extent to make the Ameri-
can people believe that England
stands ready to declare commercial
war against the United States. Alb.
surd! The propagandists plainly hope.
to sow such dissension and distrust
among America and England and
France that it will be possible for a
German successor of the illustrious
Talleyrand to overthrow the councils
of the Allies and snatch victory from
defeat.
Nearly all lies have some grains of
truth. If they were absolute lies, they
would be too easily detected to be of
any service. 1t is true that the
French customs are different from
ours, and that the blunt, plain spoken.
American may have made some crit
ieism of the Latin temperament or
manners. But that does not mean
we have not a wonderful love for the
nation that has been additionally our
friend and a wonderful respect for
the nation that has so CALAMITY pro-
tected itself and so bravely fought
the fight of humanity and justice.
And it has not ceased to be true that
we hate German untrustworthiness
cruelty, barbarious methods of war;
fare, worship of brute force, and Gym
ical sentiment.

CHRISTMAS BELLS

Hark! Harlk! hear distant bell.
And now chtme-they softly ring:
What joyful tidings do they tell
As back and forth they swing.
IT'S mid Of night-who rings those bells1
Perhaps some doves there nesting,
And while each little bosom swells,
And warm they touch with gentle wing
The tuneful metal, and it feels
So incubated it would swing
To life. and wake the world with peals
Those midnight bells. how sweet they
chime;
The welkin vibrates with their sound;
To hearts attune they are sublime,
Nor spread they dread alarm around.
Lo! now l see. from East afar
A light shines through the steeple's
frame.
IT'S brighter than the brightest star,
1t gilds the bells with golden flame:
There, too, see some cherubs cling
Fast hold the ropes. How fair they be!
They swing the bells and sweetly sing
This is the Christ's nativity"
Wake every heart, join in their song
OF praise to Christ our newborn King;
10 MIN our sweetest strains OeIOng,
And his, our richest offering.
When wakes the god Of day, and shines
Athwart the heavens, what of glee
Will wake as we'll? With box and pines
And flowers gay, yon house will be
Adorned, and while the anthem swells
With organs voice, all Christendom
Will vibrant be as are those bells
That Christ's nativity has come.
