A healthy infant sleeps most of the

when six or seven years old, when
school begins, this sensible policy comes
to an end, and sleep is put Off persist

ten or eleven the child is allowed to
sleep only eight or nine hours, when its
parents should insist on its having
what it absolutely needs, which is ten

needs nine hours sleep, and an adult
should have eight. Insufficient sleep is
one of the crying evils of the day. The

pecially the brain, produces a lamenta-

Our opponents make no adequate provision
for the increasing money needs OF the world.
In the second place. a change in the ratio Is
not necessary. Hostile legislation has de-
creased the demand for silver and lowered its
price when measured by gold, while this same
hostile legislation, by increasing the demand
for gold, has raised the value OF gold when
measured by other forms OF property.
