.sl,OOO.OOO SHORT Of
DEMOCRATIC CLAIMS.
Boosted Full Treasury Of Re-
firing Administration Turns
Deception.

The boasted balance of s1,40O.0OO
which the Democrats declared was
in the State Treasury a week ago
ready to turn over to the Republicans.
is dwindling rapidly day by day. 1t
has already shrunk to $4,000. or
to nearly one-third OF the amount, and
Auditor Frank p. James declares that
when all claims. against the Stale are
paid, there will be only about 100000
left for the Republican administration
to begin business on.
Mr.. James has thrown a bomb into
the camp OF the Democrats by making
a declaration containing this startling
information. Some time ago and
during the State campaign, the Dem
ocrats said that when they went out
of office they would turn over to their
successors s1,4Oo.000. AS a matter OF
fact, Auditor James says that the
Democrats left the Republicans but
$1,1s0, 900.
He further adds that on December
2, 1907, Superintendent Of Public In
struction Fuqua made requisition
on the Auditor for $4,000 due tie
cities of the State for school purposes
for the month of November. He says
that in January similar requisition
was made on the Auditor for the same
amount of money due the cities for
school purposes during the month
of December, 1907. and that a requisi-
ton was made for $4,000 due the
counties of the Commonwealth for
school purposes.
Therefore, Auditor James says that
the Republican administration inherit
ed this debt OF $3.50. 900 from the Demo
cratic administration, and that he has
just drawn the warrants for the pay
ment of the money.
This sum, subtracted from the ST.
100000, leaves a balance in the State
treasury. of $4,000. Auditor James
goes further and says that the current
expenses of conducting the States gov
eminent for the month OF December,
1907, have not yet been paid and when
they are the actual amount left by
the Democrats in the treasury will
not exceed 100000.

Remaining Diseases.

Malaria is. to be called mosquito fe-
yer" henceforth, If the international
Sanitary Congress W hich has been
meeting in Mexico City, has it's way.
The change is a good one, for it takes
responsibility for the transmission of
"chills and fever" from the much-ma-
ligned night air and transfers it TO
where it belongs-which is somewhere
in the proboscis of the swamp mos
quito. The general popular identifi-
cation of the disease with the insect
will tend not only to dispel magma
ry fears, but to enlist the masses in
the work Of discriminating the pest.

Truth About Sleep.

Norman Bridge. Los Angeles, con-
siders that the teaching as to the
necessity Of a large amount sleep is
often erroneous and leads to over
drugging by powerful and somewhat
dangerous medicines. He lays much
of the evil TO the mental attitude OF
the sufferer. The horrors of isomnia
are but slightly due to want of sleep
and very much to the fear of sleep
lessnness with which the patients are
nearly always afflicted.
II they go to bed and feel that
sleep as has been supposed. We
they did not want to go to sleep or
did not care whether they slept or
not, sleep would probably come be-
fore they were aware of it and last
the night through. The notion that
We go to bed for the purpose of sleep
ing is a one-sided one. 1t is bodily
rest that we require as much as brain
rest, and this bodily rest need not be
accompanied with sleep all the time.
Even children do not need as much
should put ourselves in a position of
rest, which OF itself, physiologically,
induces sleep. We should avoid the
irritations. noises. bad air, cold feet,
overloaded bowels, ETC., which tend
to keep ms awake and to proven
proper physical rest. and then sleep
comes of itself usually and almosJ
always in sufficient quantity. Five
or six hours may be as good as eight
for some people.-The Family Doctor.
