Children and Sleep.

One OF the greatest mistakes of
parents and those who have charge
of children Is that they are likely to
allow the young ones too little time
TO sleep. With one excuse or anoth-
er the youngsters are up later at
night than they should be, and as
they must be off to school betimes in
the morning and there may be duties
TO perform they are called before they
have finished their morning nap. Chill
dren, as a rule, ought TO sleep ten or
eleven hours, and to do this they
must be put to bed early enough at
night so that they may get this amount
OF uninterrupted rest.-Modern Won

BLACK AND RED HAIR ARE AKIN.

''O'lHs
The color of the hair, says the

hare the same complexion. Instances.
however, are not uncommon where
children have hair Nlack as ebony,
while the hair of both parents is a
burning red. Instead of disproying
the theory that child takes after
It's parents SO far as the color of the
hair Is concerned this fact, It has now
been ascertained. Is all in favor of
the doctrine. Red hair. in fact Is by
Its structure and composition much
nearer to black hair than to blond.

to seek for black hair in the locks OF

frequent to notice children whose
hair, red at birth, becomes as they
grow older quite dark. When, too
after some serious illness the produc.
ton of the coloring pigment Of the
hair falls of, black hair becomes not

decency and more especially where
public health is at stake. If one tenth
of Upton st. Glars story concerning
the packing house methods be true
President Roosevelt should insist on
such laws being enacted which will
in the future make similar reports
impossible. The fact that the mere
notice of the affair by the president
has had the effect of securing greater
cleanliness and vastly improved con
ditions about the packing houses indi
Gates that there was altogether too
much truth in the st. Clair story and

the packers to the effect that the dis
closures will injure their foreign trade
should have little consideration for

are as reprehensible as in this case

that no sooner had he perfol med this
act than some public spirited person
forthwith notified the land Office that
the agricultural land he was at
tempting to secure was coal land,
which has had the effect Of holding
back his patent for an undue length
of time, causing him not q little
trouble and annoyance. Special Agent
Gustin has just completed an ipvesti-

stated that he had been unable to find
any coal groupings or any indications
of coal on the land This is simply
one instance of many similar cases.

SUFFRAGE UNPOPULAR WITH WOMEN

No better indication of the attitude
of the women themselves toward wo-
man suffrage could he desired than
was furnished last week at the national
convention of women's clubs. 1t
seems that with the knowledge and
probably at the suggestion of Mrs.
Sarah Plat Decker circular had
been sent out advocating woman suf
frage and undertaking to pledge the
women in national convention to the
movement
IT soon became evident that Mrs.
Decker who was candidate for re-
election had made serious mistake
or mad permitted some one else to do
80 and that if the declaration favoring
woman suffrage were allowed to stand
Mrs. Decker might just as we'll have
remained in her coy little home IN
Denver The obnoxious circular was
quickly withdrawn and another sub
stituted declaring that it was not wise
for the national federation to take up
the question of suffrage since there
was national association in existence
for the sole purpose of furthering the
cause of woman suffrage.
The Post does not wish to discuss
the question here but only refers to
this significant episode to show that
the women themselves, and even the
club women if you please, are by no
means agreed as to the advantages of
the use of the ballot 1t is doubtful
if the question of woman suffrage
would carry in any state in the Union
