HELP TO FILL FAMILY PURSE
In City Of Johnstown, N. v, Three
quarters Of the Wives Are In
Gainful Occupations.

In survey Of family incomes IN
nearly one hundred cities of the Unit
ed States the department Of labor
found that In Johnstown, N. Y, three
quarters of the wives earn money.
The Labor Review explains that this
remarkable condition prevails in Johns
town because gOvemaking is the prin-
cipal industry there and furnishes
work which women can do at home.
This appeals to them. because they
are able TO earn good wages without
leaving their household.
In almost one-sixth of the New YORK
city homes visited women contributed
earnings toward the support of the
home. In Boston. one wife out of
ten works; In Buffalo. one in twenty
eight; In Cleveland and Cincinnati one
I'm seven, and in Pittsburgh only one
I'm fifty. II Is interesting to note that
investigators found that surprisingly
large percentage OF town dwellers de-
rive some income from gardens and
poultry. Ninety-three per cent Of those
visited In Cleveland had garden or
chickens.

Patrolmen visited the room, in a
small hotel, and found the unclothed
body of a man about rs years old.
In a written statement, according
to the police, the woman admitted
killing the man. She said she only
knew him as Frank" and that he
told her he was employed in a saloon.
They quarreled, she said, and he
struck her, whereupon she procured a

shot him three times in the head.

SAVAGE BEASTS EXACT HUGE
TOLL IN ANIMAL SLAUGHTER

Compared with some individual
members of the mountain lion, wolf,
and coyote families, Gullivers' hungry
giants and giantesses were light and
dainty eaters. All these animals are
classed as predatory, but few speci-
mems develop exceptional skill and
cunning ip killing cattle, sheep and
colts. They usually acquire equal
skill in avoiding traps, poison bats
and rifle fire. and often do thousands
of dollars worth of damage before
they are killed.

ture, keeps a staff of expert hunters

THE RIGHT WAY TO SLEEP

When one sleeps normally his
whole body relaxes his breathing be-
comes less rapid and his pulse slows
down. That gives all the organs and
tissues just the chance they need to-
recuperate and store up new energy
for the next day. To aid this bene-
ficient process one should stretch out
on his bed-preferably firm mat
tress, minus pillows. Then relax
let the bed hold you up: don't try to
hold yourself or even think of it.
and Danish worry from your mind.
If one wakens from eight hours OF
sleep, unrefreshed, dull and tired 1t
is safe bet that he failed to open his
windows, that he ate too heartily be-
for retiring or that his general health
needs attention.

"The British would not allow the
