I T ISN'T so much a question of the number 
of hours you spend in bed, as it is of the 
quality of the sleep you get. Is your sleep sound 
and restful, or is it fitful and unrefreshing ? 
One common cause of wakefulness at night 
is over-stimulation from coffee drinking. For 
coffee contains caffeine which irritates the 
nerves and frequently leads to insomnia. 
If 5 7 ou have any idea that coffee keeps you 
awake at night, or makes you nervous, make 
a change from coffee to delicious Postum. 
This pure cereal beverage contains nothing 
that can harm health, and its flavor is much 
like coffee. In fact, many people prefer Postum 
for its flavor alone. 
Your grocer sells Postum in two forms: Instant 
Postum (in tins) prepared instantly in the cup by the 
addition of boiling water. Postum Cereal (in packages) 
for those who prefer to make the drink while the meal 
is being prepared; made by boiling fully 20 minutes. 
The two forms are equally delicious; and the cost is 
only about per cup.

From the Corners of the Earth 
The 1\. N.-Y. has readers in every nook 
and corner of the world. They are to be 
found about as far north in Alaska as 
man can live with comfort, and also far 
south in Patagonia. They are every¬ 
where, and \vc formerly wondered how 
it could happen that people were found 
to enjoy this paper, even when living on

the Island of Java, in South Africa, in Si¬ 
beria, or in Turkey and China. We find, 
upon investigation, that many of these 
people are Americans who formerly lived 
in this country and were brought up on 
a farm. They formed the habit of read¬ 
ing The It. N.-Y., or the habit was 
formed for them by their parents and 
grandparents, and when life took them 
away from this country to the far corners 
of the earth, they carried this habit of 
reading The R. N.-Y. with them. They 
tell ns they like to have the paper come 
regularly, as it reminds them of what 
they believe to be the finest part of Amer- 
Gra^shopper Egg Clusters. Fig. 60S 
ican life, and that is the home life of a 
good American farm. So they come, year 
after year, renewing their subscriptions. 
Thus we thought it might he interesting 
to obtain iittle sketches from these wan¬ 
derers, who might tell ns about their life 
and about the country in which they are 
located. The first sketch of this sort 
comes from the Island of Newfoundland. 
Mr. J. A. Dayton says tlml lie left New 
York State 13 years ago. and is now lo¬ 
cated in the central part of Newfound¬ 
land. helping in a great paper pulp mill. 
This mill supplies 70,000 tons per year 
of the paper used in the publications of 
Worm of Codling Moth Wintering Under, 
Hark. Fig. 601) 
the late Lord NorthclilYe in England. It 
seems like a great thought when we con¬ 
sider that in this faraway land the timber 
can bo turned into paper and sent far 
| across the ocean to make it possible that 
news may he distributed to the English 
people. Mr. Dayton says that there are 
very few, if any, of what we would call 
farmers on the island of Newfoundland. 
On a few points along the coast there are 
little towns where men own small pieces 
of ground close by the water. Most of 
these men are fishermen, who spend their 
Summers catching fish off the const of 
Labrador. They or their families raise 
a few potatoes and cabbage and turnips, 
that being about the limit of garden pos 
sibilities up in that far country. They 
keep a cow ;.nd a pig and a few hens. 
In some districts, where dogs are not al¬ 
lowed. flocks of sheep do fairly well, but 
a few garden crops in connection with 
hay will he about all that can he raised 
in the short season. If the fishing season 
is a good one, these men pass the Winter 
getting out their supply of firewood and 
doing the necessary work around their 
little farms. If the fishing season is bad. 
they are forced to seek employment in the 
woods. This can he found cutting pulp 
wood for the mills or trapping fur or 
snaring rabbits, which are quite largely 
used for food. It. seems that there arc 
quantities of common blueberries and sev- 
Reach Tree Borer . Fig. 610 
eral kinds of marsh berries in that coun¬ 
try. On the west coast some strawberries 
are grown for market, and they generally 
bring 50c a quart. It is not possible, to 
grow corn in that country, and only small 
amounts of oats are grown, very largely 
for hay. So that it would seem that life 
on a farm in Newfoundland must he some¬ 
thin},' of a dull proposition during the 
cold Winters, ami quite unlike what one 
would find in this latitude. If any of 
our readers want to get an interesting 
story of life in that cold country, they 
should read Dr. (IrenfeU’s books, such as 
“A Labrador Doctor/* They will then 
get a better idea of what it means to live 
in that eounfr.v and act as a pioneer in 
tin battle against frost and snow- It is 
interesting, however, to think that The 
R. N.-Y. goes into homes located far in 
this northern country, and at the same 
time enters homes in the tropics, where 
snow is never dreamed <>f. and life is one 
long, perpetual Summer.
