Sleeping and Ealing,

When people SIT up late at night, par
ticularly if they are delicate, they should
eat something, If only slice of bread
and butter, before retiring. This seems
hereticul, but it is not. Animals, after
eating, iustinctively sleep. Human be-
ings become drowsy after full meal.
Why? Because blood is solicited toward
the stomach to supply the juices needed
IN digestion. Hence the brain receives
less blood than during fasting, becomes
pale, aud the powers grow dormant.
Sleep, therefore, ensues This is physi-
illogical. The sinking sensation in sleep
lessnes. is a call for food. Wakefulness
is often symptom of hunger Crafty
this desire and you fall asleep. The feeble
will be stronger at dawn if they eat on
going to bed. Fourteen hours lie bet t~een
supper and breakfast BY that time the
fuel Of the body has become expended
Consequently. the morning toilet futigues
many. Let such eat at bedtine and take
glass Of warm milk or beef tea before

TOR ACCO.
Some Pleasant Talk about the Ethir'
of the Weed.
From All the Year Round.

IRON All Tue lear hOuuu
The ethics of the tobacco question form
q fair subject for examination. 1t Is urged
by the anti-tobacconsts that the practice
OF smoking is a selfish one-that it en-
gendcrs indifference to the comfort and
the feelings of others, and that it has had
direct influence i'll deterioratng the
manners of our generation. They also
urge that it encourages drinking, but
therein we think they "do protest too
much" Some of the worst and most
hopeless drunkards we have known were
non-smokers, and per contra, some of the
heaviest smokers were teetotalers. There
Is no necessary connection between the
two practices Mt the same time the man
who is incorporate by nature will err 10
excess in smoking as well as in everything
else. Auti-tObacconists very often com
NIT the same mistake as teetotalers. that,
namely. OF falling from excess OF zeal
into intemperance of advocacy.
There can be no doubt, for instance,
that King James went Il great deal too
far III his "Cuunterblaste, and SO also
did Sir Grey Palmer, who, i'll 1921, de-
clured in the House of Commons "Hhat if
