Without sleep the nervous

it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.

matter serious. For instance turn tt,
the electric light bills of which we an
complain. Even tho only third Of the
population of the United States lives
in cities and towns and only half Of
them use electric light still the electric
light bill of the country is approx
imately one hundred millions of dollars
per annum. The rest of our people cas-
lily spend one hundred and fifty millions
more per year for kerosene and lamp
chimneys whereas if Franklin's day.
light schedule had been adopted Tor
working hours the people of the United
States could today be building $4,000
miles of concrete paved country high
ways per annum with the money they
would have saved on their light bills.
Thus by paving country roads twelve
times across the continent from ocean
to ocean every year a man living until
the biblical three score and ten and
keeping house for an even half CEN
fury might live to see concrete pave
ments on country highways laid across
the United States from east to west at
intervals of four miles apart all the
way from the Canadian line to the Gulf
of Mexico and cross roads likewise
paved with concrete from the Gulf to
Canada laid at intervals of six miles
apart from one ocean to the other; all
paid for in cash out of the money saved
on the country's light bills simply by
adapting some common sense from
the author of Poor Richards almanac.
