1t is mistake to send children to bed
with full stomach. An infant has no
difficulty in dgesting nourishment during
sleep because its food is liquid, but with
older children, whose food is solid. the
case is different. If they take their sup
per just before bedtime their rest is dis
turbed, doubtless because the excess OF
nervous irritation is drawn off from the
digestive tract to the central organs.
Sleep is then unsound, is often interrupt
ed or molested by bad dreams. The eve
ming meal should be taken at least three
quarters of an hour before bedtime. and
should not be too abundant nor contain
too much solids.

The hair falls out when the strength OF
IFS roots is insufficient TO sustain its
weight any longer, and new hair will
take its place unless the root is diseased.
For this reason each person has certain
definite length of hair. When the hair
begins to split or fall out. massage of the
scalp is excellent Place the tips of the
fingers firmly upon the seal, and then
yibrate or move the scalp while holding
the pressure steadily. This will stimulate
the blood vessels underneath and bring
about better nourishment of the hair. \
brush of uneyeuly tuitcd brstles is also
excellent to use upon the scalp, not the
hair.

this assertion. The amount was report

dam by reason Of the opening of their

A statement has been published to the
effect that plates of the steel cruiser
Machias built in Bath year ago were
rust eaten and were filled with putty,
showing that they were defective when
put in place. This is denied later and it
would seem the denial is reasonable.
The plates ware inspected at Pittsburg
before they we're shipped to Bath and
none but perfect plates allowed to pass,
and beside, government work is under
constant inspection at every stage of
progress. That defect in the surface
hould be allowed to pass is incredible.
