For Instance, ventilation and proper temperature form a most impor tant part in the /treatment, for there should be a free circulation of air and no draft. To secure fresh air it; is better that the windows shall be open at the top than at the bottom, for the former way makes it possible -for im pur.Kies to escape from the room. By all means the most hygienic i way of fixing a window for the night is to open it at both the top and bottom, so that pure, cold air may be entering constantly to take the : place of the warm, impure atmosphere which is leaving. . Sixty degrees is an excellent tem perature for the sleeping room, and to regulate the air to» this mark keep a small thermometer above .the bed, and watch It so that the air may not be overheated. Those persons • who can . endure greater cold need not.. fear to have it, forthclunsrs will never be injured by such' treatment. On the contrary, the more cold, fresh air that is given them to .inhale the more healthy will be- their condition, making the com plexion clearer \u25a0 and the eyes brighter. It is also soothing to the. nerves, and by this proper atmosphere real "beauty sleep" is. more, or less Insured. How to Improve Round Shoulder* If there is the least tendency to round shoulders, improvement- is to be made during the night if a woman trains herself to sleep without a pil low. The- habit of- having .the head raised while lying;downci s responsible for a good many casesof "bent backs; the higher, the angle the greater being the resulting stoop. :'. The ideal way' ls to have ' no pillow, or else a very thin one stuffed .with hair, such -as; is] used for. mattresses. A The position gained in this way helps to: straighten the spine, improving or preserving the figure. Such a pillow means that the per son" using -it must sleep on the back, and there may then be an'inclinationto snore. Should there : bei the slightest tendency to keep the mouth open a wide -soft, strap, such as can* be -made from a linen . bandage, ~ should be bound firmly under -the. chin and over the head when < roing ;to bed.' This- will cause no discomfort :\u25a0.-\u25a0: and effectually prevents breathing through the mouth.

GOVERNOR TALKS OF HIGH FOOD PRICES Gillett Believes One Cause Is That Corporation Employes Draw Big Salaries [Special Dispatch to The Call] SACRAMENTO, Jan". 27.— That the high, price of staple ;goods throughout the country is due Tin, a great measure to the princely, salaries' drawn by the big corporation' employes is the opin ion of Governor Gillett, who forecasts a .readjustment of conditions.

CONGRESS WILL GIVE PART OF MONEY ASKED NeedhanvSay* Only $75,000 Will Be Voted ?"f or Waterway [Special, Dispatch io The Call] STOCKTON, Jan. 27.— A lengthy let ter ' has been received by Secretary J. M. Eddy of the chamber of com merce - from Congressman James C Needham explaining the status. of the local waterway measure now, before the rivers and harbors committee of congress. 3 The government engineers orig inally recommended an appropriation of $240,000 for- widening, the river to 200 feet, maintaining an average mini mum depth of nine feet to the sea, and purchasing rights of way for cutoffs. A .message was received last week to the effect that the committee would •appropriate $40,000 for rights of way for the cutoffs and $35,000 for main tenance. Congressman Needham's let ter states ' that while no \u25a0 definite ac tion has been taken'it looks very much as though provisions 'will-be made for purchasing the rights of. way and maintenance. * Needham says .that he urged the committee to make the entire-appro priation of $240,000 as recommended by the government engineers, but that congress seems disposed to adopt the plan of an annual rivers and harbors appropriation. Members of the. com mittee took the stalid that it would be useless to tie up $240,000 contingent on the securing of rights of way, which would probably take some time. It will take at least a year to make the cutoffs at Rough and Ready and Man devllle" islands, and next year the re mainder will be advanced. The congressman also states that the entire appropriation bill will be cut down from $80,000,000 to $35,000,000.
