FAVOR FOUR HOURS SLEEP
Queer Club Formed by Some Chfca-
go Men and Women.

go wen ana " omen.
Firm in their belief that sleep is n
waste OF time. a dozen men and wo-
men OF Chicago have organized them
selves into a society which proposes to
teach people that too great part OF
their lives is spent in useless slumber.
The organization is called the Four
Hour Sleep club. and the members are
pledged to sleep but four hours a night
says the Chicago Chronicle. The mem
bers contend that sleeping in excess of
that time is purely a habit-that Is.
nothing short Of sinful in this day of
hurry and progress. 1t is an addiction.
they argue. as harmful and intemper-
ate as the excessive use OF intoxicants.
tobacco or drugs.
Members Of the club who have chill
dren are rearing them to observe the
same restriction with regard to alleged
overindulgence in nightly rest Some
calm that child five years of age
can be trained to do with four hours
sleep. but the ma jority are of the
opinion that children should be allow
ed from six to eight hours. the amount
decreasing as the child grows older.
The club has secured large amount
OF literature on tue SUBJECT anu Tue
members quote abundance of authori.
ty to show that they are right in Their
contentious. They point TO Napoleon
and a number of the greatest generals
writer's of history and thinkers who
are alleged to have taken four hours
sleep a night and less.
Mr.. Gaul. the president Of the club,
says that Il was through a natural
aversion he has to sleep as well as a
realization of its wastefuIness that he
was induced TO aba ndon the .hab bit"
His wife and his child. six years old
also manage to live with the stinted
rest. and all seem TO enjoy good health
and bright mental faculties.
The man who sleeps eight hours out
of twenty-four and lives to be eighty
one years old has in reality lived but
fiftyfour years. Twenty he has
spent in this suspension of all the pow
ers OF the body aud mind. On the 9th
er hand. the man who sleeps bat -four
hours night will have spent nearly
sixty eight years Of real life if he at
tains the age Of eighty one years.

HORSE SENSE
With a Human Application.

The man who owns horses is careful of
them.
He is careful that they are fed regularly.
He sees to il that their feed is proper
toned to their needs and conditions.
They are fed at stated times and with a
measured ration
No man feeds a horse which is Just off
long and fatiguing journey. He lets it
rest a while and then feeds it moderately.
No horse owner PUSHES heated horse
from the harness to the spring, and lets
it drink its fill of cold water.
A horse is valuable asset and the
owner takes no chance of injuring its
health.
Now consider how the horse owner
treats himself. He doesn't think regu-

larity of meals of any moment, so he
eats in season and out of season. He has
no regular ration or measured meal, so
he eats to repietion. He comes home
utterly tired from field or store and sits
down to hearty meal. He gets over
heated and drinks copious draughts of
cold water. He treats himself he
would allow no one to treat his horse,
and he wonders why his stomach gives
out, his digestion is impaired and he
grows weak and miserable. If a man
would treat himself as well he treats
his horse he would not suffer from disease
of the stomach and its allied organs of
digestion and nutrition.
COMMON CAUSE OF DISEASE.
There is no doubt that careless and ir-
regular eating and drinking are the most
prolific causes of disease. When the
stomach is diseased the whole body suf-
fers from innutrition and its consequent
physical weakness. The heart feels it
the lungs feel 1.-THE liver feels 1.-THE
kidneys feel 1.-THE nerves feel it, and,
as general rule, the beg inning of rdoc-
toringu is when the heart, lungs, liver,
kidneys or nerves show signs of disorder.
The stomach is. as a rule. not considered.
or fails to receive the treatment neces-
sary to the cure of disease.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
cures diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. By
enabling the perfect digestion and assiu-
ilstion of food, it enables the strengthen
ing OF the BODY, and so restores weak
organs to normal activity and the whole
body to vigorous health. The most nota-
bic cures effected by the use of Golden
Medical Discovery are those of chronic
forms of disease which have entirely
failed to yield to the treatment of local
physicians.

COMMON SENSE CURES.
The logic of the cures
effected by DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discov-
cry is easy to understand
Physical life is sustained
by food. The strength of
the body is derived from
the nutrition in food. II
is a natural conclusion
that when the body and
its organs grow weak it is
because of failure to as
simulate the nutrition con-
tanned in food. This is
exactly what occurs when
there is disease of the
stomach and its associated
organs of digestion and
nutrition. There is a loss
of nutrition with a CORE
spending loss of strength
and lowering of vitality.
Physical weakness there
