NEW YORK. Oct. l9.-Americans
don't work enough. Also they sleep
| too much. Such are the assertions OF
Thomas Edison. incidentally he says
they eat too much. and as evidence of
this he offers the fact that he has
lived for two months on four ounces
OF food three times day
Yes, it's true, the country is food
drunk" said Mr.. Edison. "The fact
is that people eat too much, sleep too
much and don't work enough. The
average man would be much better
of. and would do very much better
work If he would cut down his food
and sleep and labor little harder.
Men eat and sleep themselves stu
mid. Sometimes they eat and sleep
themselves into the grave They talk
about working too hard That is alb
solute nonsense. Generally speaking,
man can't work too hard
"As for sleep. that is another pre-
vailing form Of intemperance. People
drug themselves with sleep II man

how little ne really needs And he
will find his faculties very much i'm.

ut is not so much the quantity as
the qnality of sleep that counts. The
man who lies eight or ten hours in
bed tossing about from time to time,
doesn't get anything like as much
rest as the man VINO sleeps soundly
for five hours.
I'VE are slaves to sleep Why, for
instance. should we go to sleep at
night? The only difference between
night and day is that the sun goes
down in one case and comes in the
other. What. difference should that
make? suppose 1t is simply habit
acquired through thousands of years
OF ancestry. We have become like the
chickens, who go to roost when 1t ia
dark.

Another common mistake is to look
upon hard work as injurious. You
