Chicagoan Cures All Ills by Sleeping in Chair
CHICAGO.—Why pay doctors' bill when you can sleep in a chair? Here-
with Matt Roeder, an employee of the I'axton School Supply company,
advances a theory which he Bays he developed by aping an ape.
"One year ago," he explained, "1
was a physical wreck—rheumatism
and stomach trouble. Unable tc
sleep, J rode electric cars and took
long walks at all times of the night.
This soothed me for the time, and
early one morning, while on a Journey
to Lincoln park, the idea occurred to
me to imitate the ape in his manner
of rest. His body stiffly erect, he sup-
ports his head between clenched lists
when sleeping. All of the vital organs
are left free. So 1 abandoned my bed
and began sleeping in a hard, straight-backed chair. Every muscle in my
bodf ached when I began, but 1 was determined to give it a fair trial. At the
end of a month I tried the bed and got up in the morning feeling more
wretched than ever. Then 1 went at it in earnest and in six months the only
thing that affected my stomach or nerves was the sight of a bed. 1 wa3
practically cured.
"At first 1 slept in a chair at the store. Then I discovered all night
shows, and 1 decided to introduce the cabaret feature into 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 diseases of the stomach,
heart, or muscles.
"I go in order to three all night theaters, and am known to the manager
of each. The show is hardly through before I fall to sleep. I sleep ordinarily
from 1 o'clock to 6:30 o'clock, then walk to the store and take a bath. At
7:30 I eat a hearty breakfast and am fit for a hard day's labor. The early
part of the night I employ in long walks.
"Society may cling to that evil institution, the bed, as long as it wishes,
but I am forever done with it."
Innocent Merriment.
■ftie following conversation was
overheard between two of Dr. Anna
Howard Shaw's little ttieces, who were
seriously discussing votes for women.
"1 sha'n't tell the girls at school that
I'm a suffragist," confided tha older
Bister.
"1 don't mind if tyey know I'm one,"
burst out the smaller girl. "What
do you care for?"
"Because they will all laugh at me,"
ner sister admitted.
"Why. don't you know," came the
solemn icply, 'that people have been
laughing at Aunt Anna for hundreds
and hundreds of years."

Recipe of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody Will Know.
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound-
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which Is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul-
phur Hair Remedy." You will get a
large bottle for about B0 cents, Every-
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
ycu darkened your hair, as it does It
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn-
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

Policeman in Brooklyn Runs Down Strong Clue
BROOKLYN.—Persons chancing to drop in at the Amity street police sta-
tion the other day were almost overpowered by the identical clue that
led lo the arrest of Raymond Barone of Brooklyn on a charge of burglary,
although no one recognized it as a
clue. They called it something else.
The station fairly reeked with the
odor of Roman cheese, to which the
smell of limburger is as attar of roses
or the breath of clover-fed kine. The
odor escaped into the open air, and
Btrong men, passing on the sidewalk,
staggered.
The odor first assailed the nos-
trils of Policeman Russell of the
Amity street station—"Cheesey" Rus-
sell his fellow bluecoats call him, be-
cause of his having thrice arrested cheese thiefs in the last three months—
as he passed Petriliano & Grillo's Italian cheese store, at 154 Columbia
street. The three arrests that gave him his sobriquet all were made there
and Russell sniffed suspiciously. There was no possibility of mistaking the
smell for anything else on earth save Roman cheese.
Because of the frequency of burglaries in the cheese store, which have
necessitated his going inside in the dark, Policeman Russell had provided
himself with a helmet such as is worn by the French soldiers when attacked
by asphyxiating gas. Now he donned the mask and commenced investi-
gating.
A low moan from a big bread box outside the store caused him to lift
the cover. There, curled up inside, together with 12 cakes of Roman cheese,
he found Barone almost overcome. He was limp when he arrived at the
Amity street station. Lieutenant Sionistadt, an authority on cheese, debated
whether to use a pulmotor, but Barone revived and called hoarsely for water.
The reserves were sent for the 12 Roman cheeses and nil were given
stimulants to revive them upon their arrival.
Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid trou-
bles bring misery to many. When
the kidneys are weak cr diseased,
theso natural filters do not cleanse
the blood sufficiently, and the poisons
are carried to all parts of the body.
There follow depression, aches and
pains, heaviness, drowsiness, irrita-
bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu-
mati8nf. In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obsti-
nate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones.
When the uric acid afTocts the muscles
and Joints It causes lumbago, rheuma-
tism, gout or sciatica. This is the time

to keep informed of world events?"
"Yes, for the most part," answered

When Housework Drags
Keeping house is hard enough
when well. The woman who has
a bad back, blue, nervous spells,
and dizzy headaches, has a hard
lot, for the family tasks never let
up. Probably it's the result of kid-
ney trouble and not the much-feared
"woman's weakness." Strengthen

they are effective and may be used
for children with weak kidneys, too.

St. Paul Cat Adopted Building Site for His Own
ST. PAUL.—When workmen began razing the old German-American Na-
tional Bank building at Fourth and Robinson streets to make room for the
Merchants' National Bank building they found a black cat in possession. He
blinked his green eyes, arched his
back and purred in such a friendly
manner that the workmen immedi-
ately became attached to him and
Bhared the contents of their dinner
pails with him.
Tom was no ordinary cat. Falling
plaster, the thunder of brick and
timbers being hurled to the street
caused him no fright.
When the last brick and the last
piece of timber had been removed
Tom was left without a home. There
was a hiatus in his existence after all. The house wreckers departed and
soon the house builders appeared. One story after the other of the new
building began to go up.
One day a black cat nobody recognized stalked unafraiu through the
corridor of the first story. He opened his laige, frank eyes as if perfectly
at home, but a little surprised at the changes that had been made in his
absence.
No one challeneged his right to be there, and Tom became as good a
friend of the house builders as he was of the house wreckers. He has been
in the building ever since.
Pat's Sound Logic.
Pat was fishing in a river belong-
ing to a rich man, over which there
was a notice, "Trespassers proBecut
ed." Paddy Ignored this statement,
and after fishing for some time caught
a salmon, which ho brought home and
cooked. A policeman passing by the
door smelled the salmon and knocked.
"Well, Pat O'Hara, in whose river
did you catch that salmon?"
"Well, I'll tell the honest truth. I
caught it in that river near the gentle-
man's house over there."
"Well," said the sergeant, 'don't you
know everything in that river belongs
to that gentleman?"
"Arrali, to be sure," said Pat. "If
I went for a swim In that river would
I belong to that gentleman?"

MAKES ICE OF HOT WATER
Boston Scientist Also Has Succeeded
in Boiling an Egg in Freezing
Temperature.
Dr. P. W. Bridgman of Boston, in
creating new substances by pressure
in the Harvard chemical laboratory,
hc3 crystallized water at nearly the
boiling point. Only the limitations of
his apparatus have prevented him from
making ice at a temperature of thou-
sands of degrees above zero, where
the hardest metals melt. This hot ice
is the permanent form of water under
very high pressure, such as exists in
the interior of the earth.
Twenty-two other liquids also have
been crystallized at high temperature
under the doctor's laboratory use of
the immense forces of geology.
He has produced black phosphorus
and SO other new substances by pres-
sure and also boiled an egg at freez-
ing temperature by squeezing it with
a pressure of 180,000 pounds to tils
square ini:h.

BETTER THAN A BAROMETER
As Reliable Weather Prophet, Old
Ram Fully Justified Confidence
Put In Him by His Owner.
In the Countryside Magazine, Miss
Margaret Woodward tells how a farm-
er's barometer proved its effectiveness
as a weather predictor, and confound-
td science. Every New England farm-
er, she says, knows that cattle and
sheep are trustworthy weather
prophets.
There is a story of a party of scien-
tific men who were making observa-
tions on a ledge near which was a
flock of sheep. The professors settled
a great many questions relating to
natural science to their own satisfac-
tion. As they wished to make another
trip to the ledge the next day, the
weather became a matter of interest
to them. One of their number studied
the barometer carefully, and an-
nounced to the waiting group that
tomorrow's weather would be fine.
Thereupon the old farmer who was
within hearing distance remarked with
a genuine Yankee drawl, "I dunno
haow you fellers air so cock-sure about
the weather tomorrow, but if that old
ram yonder keeps his rump to the
wind'ard, it's jest bound to rain."
And rain It did, much to the discom-
fiture of the professors.—Youth's Com-
panion.
Setting Her Right.
"I do wish you would quit dabbling
in politics," said Mr. Twobble, fret-
fully.
"My dear," answered Mr. Twobble,
in his most dignified manner, "I would
have you understand that I don't dab-
ble in politics."
"No?"
"When a man is up to his neck in
anything he may splaBh, but he never
dabbles."
Misreading.
Rev. George It. Lunn, the new so-
cialist mayor of Schenectady, was con-
gratulated on his election.
"The people have confidence In tha
honesty of my party's policy," he said.
"Our opponents tried to put our prin-
ciples in a false light, but the people
couldn't be fooled. They knew that the
opposition's animadversions on our
principles were as misleading as the
bachelor's description of his sister's
new baby.
"Asked to describe this new arrival,
the bachelor replied:
"'Um! Very small features, clean-
shaven, red-faced and a very hard
drinker.'"
Pretty Large.
"What big ears he has."
"So big that his head seemB merely
a connecting link between them."
Art Talk.
"Why do you paint pictures that no-
body can understand?" we asked.
"I'll tell you," replied the artist. "I
used to paint the other kind, and peo-
ple understood them so darned well
that they wouldn't buy them."
The tensile strength of a paper fly-
wheel is far greater than one made of

A word to the unwise is wasted.
Bird Sanctuary of 1,500 Acres at Greenwich, Conn.
GREENWICH, CONN.—E. C. Converse, multimillionaire, will make his 1,500
acres here into a bird sanctuary to aid the national movement for the
conservation of bird life. Mr. Converse and George A. Drew, manager of the
big estate, Copyers Manor, are en-
thusiastic over the plan. An ornithol-
ogist of high ability will be selected
from the Massachusetts Agricultural
college and will be ordered to make
Conyers Manor an ideal bird refuge.
His work will include the raising
of wild ducks and the winter feeding
ind protection of insectivorous birds,
this including the setting out of nest-
ing boxes and lessening the enemies
of birds life.
A bird census will be taken at the
start and comparisons made as the work progresses. Special attention will
be given to the increase of insect-eating birds. Now 34,000 fruit trees are
protected from their insect enemies by spraying. This work of spraying
will be lessened materially when the birds fill the orchards.
Quail and grouse will be protected from human hunters and other
enemies. Systematic feeding will prevent deaths by starvation in a severe
winter. Wild duclrs will be raised upon an extensive scale and measures
taken to make the lake of 10 acres especially attractive to wild breeding
pairs. The red squirrels which now infest the great stretches of woods will
be kept in check.
A Food Fact
to Remember
Seventeen years ago a food was originated that combined the en-
tire nourishment of the field grains — wheat and barley — with ease of
digestion, delicious taste and other qualities of worth designed to fill a
widespread human need.
Today that food —
has no near competitor among cereal foods in form or nutritive value,
nor has it had from the start.
Grape-Nuts on the Breakfast Menu builds and maintains body,
brain and nerves as no other food does. Ready to eat, economical,
appetizing.
