Difference Of Opinion as to Benefit Of

An old Italian proverb has it that
WHO goes to bed supperless all night
tumbles and losses. A Portuguese
saying is, If you would be ILL., sup
and then go to Sleep
1t is plain. American Medicine CON
cludes. that the ''pOtted wisdom" of
proverbs will give no decisive rule as
to digestion during sleep. The Gus
tom of an er-dinner nap is common
in almost all Italian and Oriental
countries, but il is contradicted by an
old Latin proverb which the Germans
and the English in turn have trans
lated: After dinner sit awhile, after
supper walk mile
AS a rule. the northern, and espe-
cially the Anglo Saxon: races incline
to think that digestion is not the best
during sleep.
AS to drinking, the peoples expert
ence is that he who goes to bed
thirsty rises healthy AS age comes
on digestion grows more difficult, SO

old man S supper does him no wrong"

"Graftina" in NIGERIA.

Among the commonest and most
troublesome of the offenses with
which the courts Of Nigeria have to
deal, however, is that of presentation
or extortion. Wearing fez cap or
some other article of disused soldiers
uniform or carrying some discarded
envelope carelessy dropped, man
will present himself at village and
claim by this token to be an emissary
from the government. The credulous
natives deliver mp all he demands
Any hesitation is met by the threat
that on his report the government will
destroy the town. Many cases have
been before the courts in which such
extortOn had been going on for
months undiscovered.
