Words of French origin now used in
the German army are the subject Of an
imperial cabinet order. German words
are to be substituted for them by the
emperor's command. Political sani-
tation in the German empire thus deals
with the French microbe in one Of Its
many manifestations. Microbes, how
ever, are slippery things. and have an
unpleasant way Of escaping ordinances
and officials. Despite the order, French
words will be sure to cross the border
and theaten the emperors peace.

More sleep, with more regularity in

More sleep, with more regularity In
taking it, is a prime need Of our ex-
hausting modern life. People talk OF
giving rest to their minds; but 1t is
not likely that the mind itself ever
tires. The brain. or some overworked
tract Of 1t. may need repose; and 1t
seems well-established physiological
fact that this central organ literally
undergoes repair and renewal during
sleep. The slowing down OF the blood
permits the deposit of nutritive par
ticles. Just as the slowing OF a river
permits II to drop its sediment. There
is wisdom as we'll as wit in the Quix-
otic saying: blessings on him that
first invented this same sleep!"

In order to raise the money to build
a railroad. the city of Paducah. KY.
issued municipal bonds for the neces-
sary amount The issue was properly
authorized and promptly subscribed
but when the interest became due. the
city attorney, having discovered q
technical error which made the bonds
legally worthless, ordered the city
r. II II. S1y It. The business
men ef5.aa city INN ea.ately took the
matter up. The good name OF the
city is our good NAME" they said.
When Paducah borrowed this money
she promised to pay for the use of 1t.
We owe it to the city, and to ourselves
as well, to see that the promise Is
made good A technical 0ros does
not lessen our moral responsibility"
A meeting was therefore called and q
COMMITTEES appointed to raise the
money for the interest by public sub
scription. A city whose business men
maintain SO noble standard OF ciqsc
honor and duty as this deserves to
rank as one of the great cities OF the
country, no matter what the figures
Of the census report may say about th'
number OF her population.
