The Breckenridge news., 1906-11-07

The belief that the hours of sleep
should he artiiically restricted Is con
trary to ordinary good sense If the
human body does not need sleep for
the upbuilding of its tissues it will not
call for it. a rule of health which can
not be wrong Is to sleep If possible as
long as any inclination for it exists.
The erroneous view on this subject is
undoubtedly due to the fact that when
the mind and body are thoroughly rest
ed it is often difficult to arouse the
mind from its comfortable lethargy.
On the other hand. the man who is
under mental strain and sleeps only
five or six hours at night Is keen and
alert soon after awakening. But it is
an unhealthy activity. His nerves are
at high tension. He is on edge so to
speak. Such a strain long continued
results inevitably in a nervous break
down.-Cleveland Leader.

daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers

critical period.

CASH IN THE TREASURY
Large Increase In Volume of Money
During The Year.
The MOST OF IT WAS GOLD
Report. of United States Treasurer
Shows Larger Cash Balance, That
There is a Balance Instead Of a
Deficit, and Gives Interesting Fiscal
Facts-The Big Stock of Gold.

Washington, Oct 31.-In his annual
report to the secretary of treasury
some important fiscal facts are set
forth by Charles II. Treat, treasurer
of the United States.
1t is stated in the report that the
treasurys holdings of gold con-
tinues to attract the attention of
fnanciers both at home and abroad.
It is apparent from the continued ac-
emulation that large share of the
product of the gold mines of the world
is brought to the United States. The
gold coin and bullion in the treasury
June 80, 1905, amounted To $706,592,-
399, and at the close of the fiscal year
1906 it advanced to SS07, $50. BY
Oct. 26 it attained a maximum at
$S77, ,29623S.
Z The monetary stock of the country
Nook on a growth during the year Of
$186,S66,727, of which $11S,050,777 was
In gold; s5,45O,396 in silver and $685.
392,554 in national bank notes, while
the treasury notes decreased $2,027,-
900. The aggregate stock Of money at
thC NiOoC VI lllC gCdl was PoSOOOtOfOg
SOL, of which $2,736,646,62S was in
circulation.
The national bank notes presented
for redemption during the year
a hounted to $296,293,SS as against
81 lS,2sS,760 in 1905.
he United States paper currency
Issued amounted to $629, 1896, 900 and
the redemptions were $577,445, 100,
net increase in the volume outstand-
ing of $52.45O,900
The available cash balance June
30, 1906, was $3.50, O,6S9,354, an increase
Of 5,611 1852 as compared with that
Of IL months earlier.
The ordinary revenues and expend-
itures for the fiscal year 1906 was a
surplus Of $25 1892, as compared
with a deficit Of $23,0O4,22S for the
preceding year. A continuation OF
these conditions is reflected in the
transactions for the first quarter OF
the current fiscal year, in which reve-
=, nues were s5,s71, ,314 in excess of the
expenditures.
The national bank repositories
have been utilized during the year as
a medium through which the exces-
sive accumulation of money in the
treasury was restored to the channels
u trade. About April 1 an unusual
1Stringency in the money market was
relieved by the temporary Increase of
public deposits with depository banks
to enable them to import gold.
Through this aid more than $4,000
900 in gold was imported. The bal
Rnce in banks to the credit of the
general fund was 1O2,70S,1 1923, the
highest point reached during the fis-
cal year.
