Food Commissioner Busy. Harrisburg. One of the odd effects pf rises in prospect for the price of butter has renewed demand for state licenses to sell oleomargarine and the office of Dairy and Food Com missioner James Foust has had all its attaches can do. The activity of the state agents in prosecuting sellers of oleo without license used to result in much licensing, but al) the work of officials is as nothing compared to the effect of an advance In prices, Two years ago when butter went up there was a mild demand for licenses, but last winter's rise in butter caused such a great market to be opened for various products that firms which a few years ago would have scorned to sell anything but the best cream pry pr dairy butter took out licenses and made pleo a regular line.

BEST ATTITUDE FOR SLEEP French Physician Says Position Which One Flnda Most Comfortable! la Best. As practically everyone Is more or less addicted to the hublt of sleeping', the question of the best and most healthful attitude during slumber 1b of general Importance. There Is an an cient and widespread idea that to Bleep o nthe left side Interferes with the heart action and is consequently injurious and that to sleep on the back develops the inclination to snore. Modern authorities are not at all agreed on the matter, however, one of th greatest heart specialists declar ing that it is quite Immaterial whether a person sleeps on the right or left side, while another equally famous doctor asserts emphatically that one should always lie on thi right side If heart trouble and lndigestoln Is to be avoided. Eliminating the question of snoring a habit quite possible to break one's self of there is little doubt that the most restful position, when once a person has become ac customed to it, is flat upon the back, using no pillow, and with the arms above the head. This straightens drooping shoulders and gives the lungs full play. However, this is a matter in whlcn one may do as one pleases, and have good authority therefor, as a very dis tinguished French physician has dis missed the subject by saying that the best position for sleeping is that which a person finds most comfortable. JOKE ON POLICE SERGEANT Thought He Had Officer Trapped In Undertaker's Shop When Pinocle Game Was On. "Here's the best Joke I ever heard on a sergeant," said a high official in the police department. "He was go ing the rounds when he saw a police man whom we'll call Mullaney go Into an undertaker's shop where there Is generally a pinocle game In the back room. He knew there was no back way out for Mullaney, so 'rounds' planted himself at the door and waited. "After a time he sent In word by one of the men working in the shop that he knew Mullaney was In there and that he had better come back on post, because the longer he waited the worse the complaint against him would read. "There was much commotion in the back room, and as there were a num ber of coffins being loaded on a wagon outside they put Mullaney In a coffin and loaded him on the wagon. They drove him down the street a couple of blocks and Mullaney climbed out. He strolled back up to where the ser geant was doggedly watching the door and saluted. "'Hello, rounds, pleasant evening. Isn't it?' he said, and the sergeant stared for a moment and then stamp ed away too mad to speak!" New York Sun. Polyglot Chicago.
