INFLUENCE OF DIET ON SLEEP
Effect of Certain Foods Largely Imae-
mary, Says Physician.

Diet has little influence on sheep,
except in SO far as it may produce
disturbances Of digestion and
through these of the general bal
ance of health. The hypnotic effects
Of certain foods, such as onions,
lettuce; milk, ETC., are chiefly i'm
aginary. Even the time of the last
meal Of the day Is of relatively lit
tie Importance, except that it is
we'll to let this be at least two or
three hours before retiring. But
even this rule has many exceptions,
as many healthy laboring men ha-
bitually fall asleep over their pipes
directly after supper, and children,
after poking the spoon into their
little eyes, nod off over the tea
table, with the bread and butter still
clutched in their chubby fists
The processes Of digestion prob
ably go on more slowly during Sleep
but they are perfectly carried out, as
Is illustrated by the almost invariable
habit among animals Of going to
sleep directly after meal.
Indeed, moderate amount Of food
in the stomach or intestines seems to
promote slumber. Many night work
ers, for instance, sleep much better by
taking light or even full supper just
before retiring.-Dr. Woods Hutchin

The Elko Dramatic Club.

"The Christian" as presented by the
Elko Dramatic Club, company made
up wholly of local talent, under the
management and direction of Mr..
Morrie, late of the Majestic Theatre
Company, was good beyond expectation
1t was one of the best, if not the best
amateur plays ever presented in Elko,
and considering the short time Mr..
Morrie had in which to prepare his
company, much credit is due him for
the entirely successful way in which
the play was presented. Especially a
piece Of this character, in which much
very difficult acting is required of the
leading characters.
. Space and time does not permit men
ton of each person, and their part in
making the production the unquestiona-
BILE success which it proved to be. Suffice
to say that as a whole the play was
beyond criticism and it is doubtful if it
could be beaten anywhere under the
same conditions.
The specialties between the acts were
good and received their share of atten-
ton and applauses.
Here's hoping that the Ell1o Dramatic
Club may again sometime surprise the
people of Ell1o with another of their
delightful plays. and that it may prove
even y greater success than this one has

been offered a pardon to incriminate
him. but had refused to do so.
While we do not propose to rehearse
or recount the barbarity and diabolical
cruelty heaped upon union prisoners
confined in AndersOnville, there are
certain facts that are beyond any con-
tradiction or dispute that show too
plainly the inhuman and barbarous
treatment of the prisoners confined in
that prison.
The stockade constituting the A1der-
sOnville prison contained about 26h
acres, but near the center was a marsh
containing 3H acres that could not be
used, thus leaving about % acres, in
which were confined as many as 32,911
| men at one time.
The trees in the stOckade were cut
! down, thus leaving no shade from the
| hot sun, while in a timbered country,
where log houses and shelters could
have been built without much trouble
| or expense the unfortunate prisoners
were left without tents or houses for
protection from the heat, cold or
storms. The only protection they
found was by burrowing like rats in
holes in the ground, or covering them
selves with the few rags they had been
able to keep when taken prisoners.
According to the testimony of Con
federate Surgeon Jones (Rhodes His
tory, Vol. v, page 494, "Andersonville

power, should be Haunted over their

We protest that the United States
government should not be charged
with the cruelty the Andersonville
prisoners suffered. but it should rest
upon the party where it rightfully be-
