EARLY Rising is CONDEMNED.
A Habit Which May sevsraly Tax III /.
Vital Powers.

There is no adequate support for
the Impression that the early morning
hours are in any way more wholesome
or healthy than later periods of the
day. Except in summer time they
are apt to be damp, foggy, chilly and
among the desirable hours of
daylight, 1t is quite true that during
the summer there is a sense of exhil-
aration about being abroad in these
early morning hours, but this evapo-
rates with the dew and is apt to be
succeeded by a corresponding depres
sion and loss of working power later
In the day. | have been observing nv
friends and patients for the past 20
years in this respect, and am inclined
to the opinion that not little of the
depression and nervousness which
commonly develop in hot weather is
due to excessive exposure to light,
from habits of early rising, inherited
from agricultural ancestors, not coun-
teracted by three to four hours rest
In darkened rooms in the middle of
the day
Secondly, that the exhilaration ex-
perienced during the early morning
hours is an expensive luxury which
has to be paid for later in the day.
In fact / have found that as a general
rule, to put it very roughly, the bust.

an hour and half earlier in the
evening. Each individual has in
the beginning of his day about so
much working power stored up in his
brain and muscle cells. If he uses
this up with great rapidity in the
early morning hours he naturally ex-
hausts his stock the sooner in the
afternoon.
1t is largely matter Of when
man wishes to be at his best If his
occupation is of such a character that
he can clear off the brunt of his
work in the early morning hours, then
let him rise early. If on the other
hand he requires full yigor and reaGi-
ness of mind and body in the latter
part of the day, or at night, then
he must rise later to get it. Even
in pure muscle work it is false econ
omy to work too long hours.-Amer-

A SPEEDY AND
PERMANENT CURE

eve express to you herewith our best
thanks for the cure of our baby from
eczema. The eczema appeared when
the child was three months old. We
applied to several doctors and hospitals,
each of which gave us something differ
ent every time, but nothing brought re-
lief A physician recommended salve
which we threw into the fire after two
days use as the eczema became worse
so that the baby scratched his face. At
last, one of our friends recommended to
us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment. A few days afterwards improve
ment could be noted. Since then we
have used nothing but Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment, and now the
baby is six months old and is quite cured.
All that we used was one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and two boxes Cuticura ONT
ment, costing in all $l25. Even the
poorest man can pay that instead of
throwing it into the doctors lap. /

Esl1n Winds.

The Journal of the Meteorol ogical
Society Of Japan contains an account
by DIR. Okada Of the occurrence in 10
srea OF those remarkable winds which
have been called fohn winds. The
winds to which this name was origi-
Inally given are warm winds blowing
down from the snowclad mountains ct
Switzerland and producing extensive
MEETINGS OF the snow. They have
hence been called 'snow eaters. The
f0hn is essentially a pheno q OF
mountainous regions, and Wonsan, In
Korea, where they have been observed,
Is surrounded except on the east by
high mountains. In this region they
are always westerly and cause abnor-
inally high temperatures and dryness
OF the air. A similar wind in North
America blowing down from the
Rocky mountains has been called the
chinook. Fohn winds occur also In the
arctic regions. Blowing sometimes In
midwinter they produce a remarkable
climatic paradox. As result Of the
elevation OF temperature caused by
them it may happen that northern
Greenland. though in winter darkness,
is warmer than southern France.
