applause. Though the playing was

the smile.
One by one the others gave their

awkwardly. she felt a whisper run
over the house, and there were faint
smiles of amusement as they glanced
at the name. She was conscious of

When We're Asleep.

When we are asleep we are per
fectly unconscious and cannot Keep
track of the passage of time, so that
when we wake UP il seems to US
that we have been asleep only
minute. All the time that one Is
awake and expending energy little
germs are being sent to the brain
which are recorded or collected until
enough are there 10 give us the sig
nal that IL is time to sleep. Then
as we sleep and get rested, the little
germs are scattered, and when we
have had sufficient rest we wake up
naturally.
The dreams we have when we are
asleep are a wise provision of nature
to keep US from waking. Usually
when we dream IL means something
is touching US or pressing us. We
may dream of skating OF snowstorms
if we have become uncovered In the
night and the brain realizes the SEN
sation of cold.
Dreams originate in the brain.
When only part of the brain is awake
we dream but vaguely, and the next
morning we are not llkely 10 remem
Der that we have dreamed at all, but
when we remember our dream, it
means that large part of our brain
was awake. You are very likely to
dream just before you waken in the
morning, as your brain gradually
comes to consciousness after hours of
rest.
Indigestion acts the same toward
producing dreams as an outward
discomfort, such as a cramped arm
or a iumpy mattress. But often such
dreams are more violent than ordi-
nary ones. and are called nightmares.
Then the brain is unnaturaily reused
and the visions become so distorted
as to frighten us and makes US cry
and scream with terror.

The Bread You Eat.

The word bread comes from an
old expression, bray, meaning TO
mound. Before mills prepared the
-four for bread making the meal of
which the loaves were made had to
be pounded. or brayed. Gradually
the word changed to bread, meaning
that which is pounded.
Bread has been made from roots.
fruits and the bark OF trees, but usu-
ally from the grains, wheat, rye and
corn. Before men learned to use
ovens bread was baked in hot ashes.
Whole-wheat -four is made Of the
entire wheat grain except the bran
covering Graham -four is made from
the unbolted wheat, or that which
has not been passed through the silk
boiling cloth, which acts as a sieve
and takes out all but the finest flour.
The bran left in the graham -four is
healthful, though it is not nutritious.
1t Is an interesting item that bran
is composed of pure silica, the same
material that glass is made of.
It is the gluten in -four that is so
nutritious and is the fesh-forming
substance. Gluten is a splendid mus
Gle builder and should be eaten by
those desiring wholesome food. If
the heart of the grain is removed. as
well as the outer covering of the
wheat, the -four resulting is of pure
gluten, and therefore entirely nutri-
tious. though not as easily digested
as that used in whole-wheat or
graham breads.
Nearly every people in the world
| uses some form of bread for the
staple of diet. IF they have no -four
| or meal to use they prepare some
| other starchy substance. by baking.
| to serve the same purpose.

think four must be my lucky num-
Der. Anybody that gets more than
one oyster in a bowl of soup at this
school is lucky, all right"
Still no reply, so Edith demanded {:
why don't you talk to me, Ruth?"
Because I'm studying my SPELL
ing" was the abrupt answer.
Edith frowned. jerked her book up
into position, was quiet for a mo-
ment, then she smiled. And some
thing else, l forgot. We were as
signed lockers in gym and my num-
ber was 444. Now isn't that
strange" The school bell rang sud
denly. "Oh dear. l don't know my
lesson at ALL" Edith cried, starting
to class.
An hour later Edith caught UP

four out of fifteen. Oh my, that
