One sign that a man has had insuf- ficient sleep is (hiding nune!f drowsy at odd hours during the day. There are many simple precaution* that a man so affected can practice. He will often find it a waste of time to lie In bed obstinately trying to get to sleep. The wise course for him is to rise, put on warm slippers and a dressing gown and read until his brain grows quiet.

General Grant once called his army into grand parade, and issued a ftrmal order that had as its scle object the destruction of a pumpkin pie. The story is told in a biographical work by L. P.

At times the pain in my back would be so bad that I would sit up in bed all night. From time to time doctors were treating me. but did not give me more than temporary relief. And then one day when I was suffering terribly a neighbor came to see me, and urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After taking two boxes I felt relief. I got five boxes more and before they were all gone I felt as though they were giving me new life, as in every way they built up and improved my health and streugth.

The source is entirely different, and lies in the now obsolete word "claviger." The "claviger" of the middle ages, under the Anglo-Norman system of Uncle Sam a Dentist. The United States Public Health Service has been making an intensive study of a tooth. The matter is of prime importance, because the part this particular tooth plays in the human economy is pecul- iar and conspicuous. It is the largest of the teeth the big grinder. It is the first ot the per- manent teeth In make its appearance in the mouth of th* child. Yet it does not, replace another tooth, and it is uot replaced by an- other. It is the so-called "flrstmolar," and upon it falls the job of doing most of the heavy chewing while the tempor- ary teeth of early childhood are being replaced by the permanent and tinal set. The service of this tooth as a food grinder is needed throughout life. Four of these first molars are pro- vided by thoughtful nature for each human being two in each jaw.

"There's a Reason' Sold by grocers everywhere ! lery iu a mine at Charlotte Plains in Victoria, Australia, have made an aa- tonisliing discovery. At a depth of 300 feet below ground they have coaie upon pieces of timber, perfectly pre- served, which have every appearance of having been sawed and shaped by the hand of man. Thi.s timber lies in the bed of an ancient river now being worked for gold, and the timber is oak. Now oak has the peculiar property of lasting for centuries when buried in water or wet sand. Oak piles have been taken out from under old wooden bridges constructed by the Romans and found as sound as when they were put there nearly 2000 years ago. Oak known as .the bog oak is found buried in pent bogs and is perfectly black, intensely hard and very valu- able. At. present there is an absolute famine In seasoned oak wood, but if we could suppress bolshevism and open up Russia to trade, that Canilnc would soon be endnd. Just, before the war it waa discovered that the bed of the river Moksha, for a length of over 400 miles, is simply full of magnittcLMit old oak trees bedded in sand.

In referring to his remarkable restoration lo health by Tanlac. lie said: "About five yoars ago I suffered a general breakdown. My principal trouble was nervous indigestion. My appetite was very poor and my food seldom agreed with me. and I had to live on a very restricted diet. I suf- fered a great deal from headaches and dizzy spells; I had severe pains across the small of my back ami was badly constipated most of the time. In fact. I was so weak and rundown I was not able to attend to my duties. "Tli is condition made me very nerv- ous and I could not sleep at night. Frequently I would lie awake most all night and was in that condition more or less for live years. My physician said he could not do any- thing for me and suggested a change of rlimute. I then moved to Texas and went back and forth three times but rtlil not get the relief I had hoped for. Finally I got so bad off I was not able to get around with any degree of comfort. 1 was also told I hud heart trouble. "I hud read about Tanlac and. as it 'had been very highly recommended ; to me. I deckled to try it. I got a ' bottle and had taken only a few dom* until I could notice a marked Improve- ment in my condition. I noticed es- pecially that I was not troubled any more with sour stomach after eating, which was u great relief. "I kept on taking Taniac until I fully regained my health. My appetite is splendid; I enjoy my meals and I do nut liml it necessury now to take any laxative medicines of any kind. 1 I can sleep much better and am not : nearly so nervous. "I take great pleasure in recom- ; mending Tanlac to anyone who needs j a good system builder, or who suffers with stomach trouble. I hare recom- ', mended Tanlac to a great many of my i friends and am pleased to reach others by giving this statement for publication." Tanlac is sold by leading everywhere. Medicine for Plants. Plants, like animals, have curious appetites, and very different ones. Most ferns seem to appreciate a small dose of weak tea, and many other pot plants are benefited by this mixture. A drop or two of ammonia tn a tum- bler of water Is a specific for some plants, especially those with soft steins, such as primulas. But the mix- ture must not be too strong, or it will kill iiustoad of cure. Charcoal, while not a true fertilizer, has an extraordinary good effect on most pot plants. Especially in the case of hyacinths, a iittlo powdered charcoal mixed with the potting soil makes the rtowers more brilliant in color than any fertilizer. Salt spread on the paths Is used to kill weeds, yet salt in smalled quanti- ties Is a splendid fertilizer for carna- tions and pinks, and all phiuts of that tribe. Soot, again, a fertilizer which will kill some plants, is one of the bet things possible for the onion bed. Potatoes and cauliflowers are partial to seaweed, hops flourish on ground- up rags, while there are some greed? pi a u ti>, ilke strawberries and roses, which seem to appreciate any form of food which may be given them.
