can Asocsation and tho Eastern League
to withdraw from the National Associa-
tion and requested permission to negoti-
ate with the American and the National

different. Every man and every wom-

OF DIET ON SLEEP.
Effect Of Certain Foods Largely Imag-
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
well 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 invariab1l
habit among animals Of going to
sleep directly after meal.
Indeed, a moderate amount of food
In the stomach or intestines seems to
promote slumber. Many night work
ers, for instance, sleep much better by
taking a light or even full supper Just
before retiring.-Dr. Woods Hutchin.
