4 Habit Which May Severely Tax the

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 least desirable hours OF
daylight 1t is quite true that during
tue suihme" there Is a sense Of exhiI-
a:ation about being abroad In these
cary morning hours, but this evapa-
rates with the dew and is apt to be
succeeded by q corresponding depres-
sion and loss of working power later
IN the day. / have been observing my
friends and patients for the past 20
years In this respect, and am inclined
to the opinion that not a little of the

commonly develop in hot weather Ia

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
nours Is an expensive luxury which
has to be paid for later in the day.
In TACT, / have found that as a general
rule to put it very roughly, the bust
ness or professional man who rises
an hour before 1880 or 8, goes to
bed, or loses his working power

Caracas, NeneZuela, Saturday, June
27.-At last Caracas officially has the

Nv brought this sad confession from the
government is due to the initiative
shown by the German minister, Baron

to Minister of Foreign Affairs Paul
asking for official information for his
government as to the presence of the

Germany's representative has done
a great service to the cause of pub
lie hygiene inasmuch as, because OF the
plague being considered by the gov
eminent an official secret, no sanitary
measures could be taken without con-
firming the presence of the dread dis
ease. 1t is because of this attempted
secrecy that more effective measures
have not been taken to check the
Scourge.
