Concrete is finding an important new

DANGER IN LITTLE SLEEP.
Health Is Menaced When the Needed
Amount of Rest Is Not
Taken.

Many energetic people seem to think
that they can steal from their nights
rest to accomplish their work. Some
times it is unavoidable. as when stu
dent has to prepare for examinations,
and occasionally it probably does no
harm, but the regular practice of sitting
up until all hours of the night is one
of the silliest things sensible person
can do, says The Chicago Chronicle. An
authority says: There is no over
stepping of the limit which is more dam
gerous than that of doing work which
curtails sleep"
1t is a common thing for girls in col,
lege and students in professional schools
to lose sleep by working until after mid
night. A certain well-known oculist, in
speaking of this practice said that he
and his brother entered college together.
Hhat he himself worked like grind"
and was graduated with honors, while
his brother was always at the foot of
his class. Now" he added, my eye
sight is forever impaired and my health
is delicate, while my brother has made
fully as much of a success in life as l,
though in different walk, and his eyes
and health are absolutely perfect and
likely to remain so until good old
age"
The end for which schools and COL
leges are intended-namely, a useful
career in life-is defeated when one
starts with weak eyes and tired over
worked nervous system.
OF course, there is such a thing as
too much sleep, but it is decided mis-
take to rouse up an energetic young per-
son or growing school child who has
oversight If the rest was not thorough
ly needed he would probably not have
oversight Work while you work and
rest while you rest" ie good motto for
all industrious youEg peepl>s.

MOVED HIS FIRST AUDIENCE

"As soon as | had orally delivered
the Judges message of regret the
chairman proclaimed It to the multi
tude. and announced that as the judge
couldn't come his young law student
that was me-would take his place.
81 explained to the chairman and
the committee that I had never made
a speech, and that l certainly would
not attempt to make one on that &C.
casion. The more I protested the
more the committee insisted.
During the wrangle on the stand
the people began to howl for Judge
IS young man to pitch in. The
committee got behind me and pushed
me to the improvised rail.
"Just at that moment Providence
came to my rescue. Somebody yelled
'Firei' The next minute a young
man as tall and thin as sapling
leaped about six feet in the air and
screamed like q scared Indian.
"He wore a long linen buster. AS
he leaped, the tail of his coat flashed
up in flame and smoke and he made
a Decline for a creek near by. The
crowd followed. The committee
leaped over the rail and joined in the
pursuit. The chairman yelled at every
jump: Put him out! put him QUIT
THE fellow had just lighted his pipe
as I was pushed to the rail and in
dropping the burning match it fell
into his pocket and started the con-
flagration. While the crowd followed
him to the creek I leaped from the
platform, mounted my horse and rode
away. BY the time the chap reached
the water I was out of sight.
T have made many speeches since
that time, but never got on my feet

cape from an audience did not come

used to say of me that l was born

China,s Tobacco Industry

The amount of tobacco used in China
is enormous. Most of it is produced by
the consumers or in the immediate
vicinity of where it is consumed, and
does not get into the trade reports at
all. The foreign tobacco trade has
scarcely scratched the surface of the
field.
