PRESS COMMENT ON
MCDONALD COMPANY.
“Dixie Land” as played by the
McDonald Company, was one of
the most touching draifias, and j
the audience last night was ai
large and enthusiastic one, says j
the Fulton, Kentucky. Commer
cial. It was full of fun and
The old-time darkies of the South
were all there in their inimical
drollery and mirth—Southern
simplicity and ways of long ago.
The scenes and character sketch
es—the acting, songs and all,
was so much a part of the South,
that one was carried back once
more to the Southern cornfield
and cotton patches. The “masher
woman” had everything her own
way, and Josephus Squashtop
was “it” sure enough. But the
little soubrette was clear out of
sight in her charming ways of
caprice and sweet cunning. With
the. news of the rebellion, the
cld gents hysterical pantomime
and the old lady was just awful
in her nervous parade of excite
ment and fear.

BRAIN ASLEEP KEEPS TIME
Wltpt la llanibc r Man Has Bella*
Idea af Hour Than Wk«»
Awake.
That a man may have a better Idea of
the time of night when he awakens
Korn a good Bleep than he would have
jf the time of day, provided he were
vorklng unusually hard, with unusual
Intentness of purpose, 1b one of the odd
facts connected with theoperatlpn of the
human brain, Bays the Chicago Trlheua
But on the other hand, if a man may
work with euch Intensity of purpose as
to forget the lapse of two or three hours
of daylight, so he may Bleep with a
soundness that prevents the little time
keeper of the brain from making sub
conscious note of the hour hand' of the
clock in the night. As between the two
conditions, however, it is the opinion o<
Dr, O. A. King, professor of nervous dis
eases In the College of Physicians and
Surgeons, that the awakened sleeper
usually has a better Idea of the flight of
the night than the other may haveof the
flight of the day.
"Under ordinary circumstances the
person who Is In normal sleep Is not
asleep,” said the doctor. “That one nook
In the brain which takes cognizance of
time Is alert to an extent not appreciated
by the. layman. Awakening at any time
in the night the person In good health
and condition knows pretty clorely
whether It Is midnight or after, or
whether It be nearer two o’clock In the
morning than it Is to four o’clock. Many
persons have the faculty so cultivated
that they know within the quarter hours
of the exact time.
"On the other hand It Is a common ex
pression with persons in all line of work
suddenly to look at the clock and' ex*
press the keenest surprise that It is bo
late In the afternoon or the evening;
and occasionally one who na& Deen wont
ing to poor advantage and under dif
ficulties will be surprised on looking at
his watch that It Is so early.
“That the brain In sleep keeps this
tally upon the time Is proved by the In
fluences of anaesthetics. A person who
has been profoundly under the Influence
of any drug used for the purpose will be
as utterly unconscious of the passing of
ten minutes as he will be unconseious
of the passing of an hour. He may be
forgetful of all conditions leading up to
th«5 state of anaesthesia and for the time
being he may have forgotten the day of
the week.
“As to the time measurement in sleep,
It i* best represented In the person used
to travel and to the catching of trains in
the night. Many of these persons will be,
able to awaken at an hour giving them
Just the margin needed for preparation
for the train.
“One of the peculiarities of a person'!
waking for a train, or for any such emer
gency, is that the awakening always la
sudden. There is none of the prelimi
nary yawning, and stretching, and slow
ly returning sense of luxurious rest and
a run B-ieep. in this awakening to a
certain time the person frequently feela
that impression of a sudden sound which
he knows cannot have been made or
uttered. Not infrequently he has the
sen.se that some one has called his name.
He may be almost certain that he has
heat’d his first name—‘George?’—called
with the characteristic rising inflection.
In almost any case his awakening la
without any premonitory symptoms. It
Is with a sort of jolt that he comes into
full fledged consciousness. In such cases
as those where the sleep is profound be
yond any consciousness of the time, tUe
lream period of sleep is left far behind;
the sleep has approached the depth of
inaesthesia.”
One of the oddities of sleep was referred
:& in which a person may lie down for
rest without Intending to sleep. It may
»e. morning or afternoon, but the fatigue
;hat prompts the person to lie down
jvercomes him, and, after a sound sleep,
is awakens without any knowledge of
ime in any sense. He does not realize
vhether it is morning or afternoon;
whethei he has had luncheon, or wheth
sr he may not have slept through a day

lay. It Is the opinion of Dr. King that in
uch a case the person experiencing the
eneations probably is not in a normal
tate of health

latural and close to the design of nature,

tormal without the effect of sd artificial
Ivilization crowding it, the babe which

My Breath.
Shortness of Breath
Is One of the Com
monest Signs of
Heart Disease.
Notwithstanding what many physic
ians say, heart disease can be cured.
Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure has per
manently restored to health many
thousands who had found no relief in
the medicines (allopathic or homoeo
pathic) of regular practicing physicians.
It has proved itself unique in the his
tory of medicine, by being so uniformly 1
successful in curing those diseases.
Nearly always, one of the first signs
of trouble is shortness of breath. Wheth
er it comes as a result of walking or
running up stairs, or of other exercises,
if the heart is unable to meet this extra
demand upon its pumping powers—there
is something wrong with it.
The very best thing you can do, is to
take Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure. It
will go to the foundation of the trou

“1 know that Dr. Miles’ New Heart
Cure is a great remedy. For a number
of years 1 suffered from shortness of |
breath, smothering spells, and pains In 1
my left side. For months at a time I
would be unable to lie on my left side,
and if I lay flat on my back would nearly
smother. A friend advised using Dr.
Miles' New Heart Cure, which I did !
with good results. X began to improve
at once, and after taking several bottles j
of the Heart Cure the pains in my side
and other symptoms vanished. I am
now entirely well. All those dreadful
