MINIMUM OF SLEEP.
University students experimenting
to Find out the Least Amount
Necessary.

A very strange experiment is being
tried ny an organization OF university
students in Madison Wis, to lengther
working hours. Upon the theory that
sleep is, to a large extent, ii matter
OF habit and can be lessened by prop
er care of the system, the members
are trying to reduce sleeping hours
tc a minimum consistent with con-
tinued health.
The organization. says the Cincin-
natl Commercial Tribune. is not in the
nature of secret society. but it has
been working quietly in order to get
the best representatives among the
college work The experiment was at

first begun in the Iowa university, and
while it does not appear to take on
the character of an intercollegiate or
ganization, the Wisconsin members
have organized along the lines of the
Iowa university club. The theory
upon which the members are working
is to get such control over the body
as to keep part of the system at rest
while the other part works; in other
words, avoiding unnecessary waste Of
vital energies. Thomas A. Edison, the
great inventor, is the expositor of this
theory.
The method, as given out, is to less
en- the sleeping hours gradually and
so accustom the system to II by de-
grees. The extreme limit fixes rest
at not more than four hours a night,
thus lengthening the working day
some three or FUR hours.

Applled Tor a divorce and got IL.
The reason for doing so would be
thought strange by US, but the Turk
ish courts of her time considered her
grounds ample and valid.
What were they2
Her husband refused to supply
her with good coffee.
We do not think these gounds
sufficient for divorce, but if one finds
chicory and other authorizations in
the coffee grounds at home, it will
often be found to be the primary
cause of domestic disaster.
Good coffee is enjoyable, and
what is more, heaIthful.
Good coffee can be had by any
one who will buy Chase & Sanborn's
CoiIees. Their Seal Brand is used in
the best families i'm the country, and
their high-grade coffees which come
packed in parchment-lined imported
bags are unequalled in excellence.
Pure, perfect, carefully selected
and prepared, and what is more, it
is al coffee; nothing in it in the way
of al aduiteration. If it ever paid
to buy the best in anything, it does
in buying coffee.
