Real Rest Depends Largely Upon
the Depth o f Your Sleep
A warning to “light” or “poor” sleepers
The deeper and sounder you sleep the better
you feel. Five hours sound refreshing sleep does
you more actual good than ten hours restless,
disturbed sleep.
This is because the final conversion of food
into vital tissue and nerve cells goes on more
rapidly when the physical and mental forces are
at rest.
You can’t get sound, refreshing sleep if your
nerves are agitated with tea or coffee. Both these
drinks contain caffeine, which is sometimes very
irritating to the brain and nervous system.
If you want to know the joy, vigor and
stamina that comes to the person who gets sound,
healthful sleep, why not stop taking tea or coffee
for a while, and drink delicious, invigorating
Postum instead.
Thousands of people everywhere have found
that this was the only thing they needed in order
to bring about these very happy results.
Order Postum from your grocer today.
-Drink this delightful cereal beverage of coffee-like
flavor, for a week. Perhaps, like thousands of
others, you’ll never be willing to go back to tea
or coffee.
Postum comes in two forms: Instant Postum (in tins)
made instintly in the cup by the addition of boiling water.*
Postum Cereal (in packages of larger bulk, for those who
prefer to make the drink while the meal is being prepared)
made by boiling for 20 minutes.

Seattle, Wash.—The native Indians
of Alaska are doomed. Many hundreds
of them may never survive the winter
just setting in along the islands of the
Aleutian group and Bering sea. The
fishing season was a failure, furs are
very cheap and the natives gambled
away what they did receive.
Once there was a time, many years
ago, when the natives of Alaska were
alone in the wilds of the north. They
depended upon the fruits of the chase
for sustenance and nature gave freely.
Kingly moose, lithe, agile caribou,
the great grizzly of the mountain
slopes, black bear of the lowlunds,
fox, wolf, mink, otter and beaver, sal­
mon and trout, all these fell to tlieir
lot, providing food and clothes. They
lived happy, healthful lives.
But now ‘all is changed. The native

for the first traders taught them
gambling, drink and the purchasing
power of money. They were urged to
barter their furs, fish and personal
belongings for pieces of silver and cheap
trinkets.
The natives are migratory and little
preparation is made for winter, as it
was formerly the custom to follow the
caribou up and down the rivers.
Firearms have aided to reduce the
number of wild animals once used for
food and clothes. Besides, wild game is
no longer tasteful. Canned meats,

Federal Bureau Perfects W ire to
produce Sounds for Medical
Clinics.
Washington.—Perfection of a de­
vice which will record the sound of
a human breath or a heart beat on a
steel wire, from which they can be
accurately reproduced at any time,
is announced by the bureau of stand­
ards.
The work was undertaken at the
request of the army medical service,
which explained that permanent rec­
ords of unusual conditions of heart
and lungs were desired for clinical in­
struction.
The device comprises use of an or­
dinary telephone transm itter and a
stethoscope, it Is explained, the cur­
rent generated by the heat of the
heart “amplified and connected with a
steel wire telegraphone, which has the
different sounds impressed upon its
spool of wire in the form of varying
degrees of magnetization.”

Shoals of Herring Missing in No

Washington.—Seaplanes are being

land, the department of commerce is
advised In a report from Trade Com­

Absence of the usual shoals of her­

towns along the coast, and many and
diverse measures are being employed
to find, the fish which furnish the pop­

Two reasons have been advanced for
the disappearance of the herring, the
