THE RIGHT BEDTIME.
It Il Not the same for EVeryOne-ren N
o'clock for Early
RiaerS.


A physician of courtly ol1-school
manners used 10 give prescriptions
marked respectively for early bedtime
and for late bedtime. 4 discussion
srose the other day between several
friends as TO what constituted early
and what late bedtime. Some of the
ladies maintained that ten o'clock was
the limit between the two, others
thought that early bedtime lasted until
II, and a few who believed in beauty
sleep pleaded that early bedtime began
at eight and ended at half past nine
o'clock.
So many people are engaged all day,
and the dinner hour is necessarily, in
city life, deferred 10 so late an hour,
that families do not break up from their
quiet evenings until after ten. Society
pushes its hours later and later, and
the votaries of fashion come near hav-
ing no bedtime at all, snatching their
rest when they can between one gay
rout and another. The invalid and the
aged person and the child must per-
force retire early, Fer those steady-go-
ing persons who regulate their lives by
rule, and who habitually rise at an
carly hour ard breakfast punctuslly at
seven o'clock, ten is certainly good
bedtime hour Brain workers would
find their account in seeking the repose
Of the couch and the darkened and 81
lent chamber, with preferably opaque
curtains TO exclude the light Of the
moon and street lamp alike, at ten
o'clock.
A long sleep rests the mind as well as
the body, and prepares one for the work
of the next day, whatever Il may be.
Far better than an opiate OF a narcotic
is the habit of seeking the pillow at an
early hour, and quietly lying still, with
closed eyes and relaxed limbs, until
sleep, gently wooed, comes with its
healing touch and softly weares its
spells of balm.
The good doctor probably meant by
early bedtime any hour between eight
and half past nine, ard regarded the
later period as between half past nine
ard midnight.
Growing children cannot too careful
ly be enjoined to get plenty of sleep.
The boy or girl who has lessons 10 learn
must wakcn early after good nights
rest, and this is insured only by pune
tuality in retiring. Eight o'clock Is a
good bedtime for all young people un-
der -, and should be insisted upon by
rarents.-Hsrper's Bazaar.

Hon. Ethan Allen Hitchcock, who
has been appointed secretary of the
interior TO succeed Secretary Bliss,
was formerly wealthy lawyer of st.
Louis. At present he is in Russia as
United States ambassador, to which
position President Mckinley appoint
ed him in 1896. He is a substantial
man both politically and personally,
and his appointment is further con-
nrmatiOn that the president knows
where to get the best material for his
official associates.

The Sun led all papers in the coun-
try in recording an objection to the
cheap notoriety-seeking ways OF
Lieut.. HObson. Since that forecast
Of the regrettable weakness Of the
young man, the press generally and
the government at Washington es-
pecially, have beheld with disgust his
across-the-continent kissing tour.
This eScapade warrants belief that
his :Merrimac incident was backed
more with foolhardy bOmbast than
with herOism.

There may be some political signifi-
canoe TO free silver agitators in the
conference of Mr., Bryan and Mr.. Car
negie in New York, but very little
Importance TO the public attaches to
il. Both men are professional alarm
lists and itincrant disturbers. They
have theories that they set up against
anything and everything that seems
to be favorable TO the rest OF the
world. Mr.. Carnegie is withered
political granny. In 1896 he was cry
ing out great warning against free
coinage of.silver; at this time he is
ready TO join forces with the silver
nen to defeat expansion.

CHICAGO, Dec 22.-A local paper
says: All doubts regarding the Hi

MORMON ELDERS HERE.
VIII Preach at Union Grove Chapel
In North Winston.

VIII Preach at Union Grove Chapel,
In North Winston.
Two Mormon Elders spent Tuesday
night in Winston. They stopped at
Hotel Jones. They are travelling
through the country seeking converts
to their doctrine. Their names are
A. w. Ensign and George B. Williams
The first registers from Brigham,
Utah, and the second from Salt Lake
City.
The two Mormon elders, who are
young men, called at this Office that
morning, and. in course of converse
tion, announced their purpose to
preach in the city, as well as in the
country, If they can procure hall.
They say they literally go about with
out ''purse or scrip" They disclaimed
adherence to the doctrine of polygamy
and averred that they they do not
preach 1t.
Since the above was put in type we
learn that the young men have Sc
cured Union Grove Chapel and have
decided to preach there. The time
will be announced by them In a day OF
two. They. went to Salem Tuesday
to see IL they could fnd build
ing in which to hold services They
asked act ng Mayor Vance I'll at NJ m
ing for permission to preach III one Of
the city buildings. Mr.. Vance asked
for time to consider the matter before
giving them reply.

Very Serious Question.

Rolls, mullins, biscuits, cake, etc j,
now generally made by the aid OF
baking powder, enter so largely into
our daily food that their dehasement
by the introduction Of Injurious sub
stances is a matter OF serious concern
to the public health. What baking
pnwder shall we use to protect our
selves against the danger from alum,
and TO insure pure, sweet, wholesome
nutritious food, is question of vital
Importance for consideration in every
household.
1t is fact that large percentage
of the baking powder sold from many
grocery stores is made from poisonous
burnt alum. There is no mark to
designate it, and both grocer and pur
chaser are unaware Of its dangerous
character.
But alum baking powders which
spoil so quickly that they must be sold
in glass bottles. besides being un-
healthful, are unreliable for leavening
purposes. They lose their strength
almost upon the opening OF the bottle,
and fail to make light biscuit, bread
and cake.
Every one has suffered from diges
tive disorders arising from food made
with alum baking powders. 1t is
likewise believed by physicians that
to the absorption Of alum into the
blood are due many of these obscure
nervous diseases from which people
suffer.
Safety from alum and kindred adul
terants will be assured by the use OF
Royal Baking Powder. 1t is free
from alum and absolutely pure. 1t
adds positively anti dyspeptic pro-
perties to the food, and is recon-
mended by physicians and health
officers for its healthful qualities.
Besides, il will retain it's full leaven-
ing strength until used, SO that its
biscuit, cake and bread are always
light, sweet and fresh.
1t would be we'll to look in the store
room and make sure that the Royal is
used in YOUR food.

Col. Andrews and Other Southern
Men Before Railway Commission.
There was a sensational hearing
before the North Carolina Railway
Commission Saturday, at which Vice
President A. b. Andrews OF the South
ern railway, was the principal figure.
He, his private secretary, Ii. w.
Miller, Division Freight Agent John
B. Munson and Local Agent r. l.
Potts we're all subpRn8d to appear
before the commission. Munson and
Potts were asked whether special
freight rates were granted last year
to Railway Commissioner S. Ohio
Wilson. They declined to say upon
the ground that their statements
might be used in criminal proceedings
against them in court. They were
adjudged in contempt. Vice Presl
dent Andrews was asked whether he
would produce his records OF passes
issued during the past three years
He also declined to do this.
The Commission ordered the four
witnesses to appear before it next
Thursday and show cause why they
should not be attached for contempt.
The punishment prescribed by law for
this offence is fine or imprisonment
or both.

BIG TOBACCO BLAZE.

The Warehouse of Christian Pepper,
of st. Louis, Burned.
Fire broke out in the large ware
house of Christian Pepper at Twelfth
and Market streets, St. Louis, Mo-,
shortly before 6 o'clock Saturday
night, and an hour later the structure
was in ruins. The immense building
was stored with tobacco. 1t is esti-
mated, that the loss will amount to
over $4,000 The fire was caused, it
is thought, by spontaneous combus-
tion. There were over 1000 hogsheads
of tobacco stored in the building, of
which 500 belonged to the Christian
Pepper Tobacco company. The to
bacco was probably insured at about
80 per cent. The building cost S75. 900.
Mr.. Pepper said his loss in tobacco
will be about $4,000 The loss on
commission tobacco will be more than
twice that.

President Appoints Them Postmas-
tiers of Winston and Salem.
1t was announced Tuesday that
Col. P. n. Lybrook and Mr.. W. P
Ormsby have been appointed post
masters for Winston and Salem, re-
spectiYely.
They were nominated by the Presi-
dent Monday afternoon, They were
confirmed Tuesday and will take
charge as soon as they make their
bonds.
Col. LybroOk is still in Washington.
The SENTINEL man was the first to
break the news to Mr.. Ormsby OF his
appointment. He was found at his
nome on Main street, Salem. He SAID
ne knew 1T was coming in a few days
Mr.. Ormsby was asked about his
assistant when he SAID: you can
state that Mr.. John Brett will con-
tlnue to serve as assistant postmaster
until further notice " This is all the
statement he had to make for publica-
tiOn.
1t has been reported for some time
that Mr.. Ormsby had promised the
assistants, place to two men-W. b.
LongwOrth and Harry Nissen.
1t is predicted that Editor Ellis will
succeed Maj. Smith in the Winston
office. Col. Lybrook told some of his
friends before he went to Washington
that his hands Were not tied in this
matter. 1t is learned from another
source that the Colonel will accept
the recommendations Of Senator
Pritchard and Congressman Linney
in selecting his assistant.
Editor Ellis was asked on Tuesday
II he was TO be assistant postmaster
He replied that while he would not
run from it, this was matter to be
decided upon in the future.
Postmaster Wilson took charge of
the Winston Office four years ago
Tuesday ] Capt. Be!o, OF the iSalem
office, went In four years ago Monday
The SENTINEL only voices the sen
tlment OF the people when it says that
the Twin-City never had more efficient
and popular or accommodating post
masters than these two Democratic
officials. They will retire with the
thanks and besG wishes OF the patrons
OF their respective offices
