Talks.
By EDWIN AWE.
WHAT THE CITY DOES.

England is teaching the nations by
horrid example that they cannot af-
ford to neglect the physical welfare of
their people
In 1850 the lowest standard for Brit
ish infantry was five feet six inches.
During the Boer war, In order to fill
up the ranks, it was further lowered to
five feet.
Which tells a sad story of physical
decline.
Or. to put it In another way: During
the Boer war 80 per cent OF the Eng
lish troops fell below the minimum
standard Of chest measurement and rs
per cent Of them fell below the min
imum weight required.
Put in terms Of everyday speech.
that means that the English common
people. once a stout yeomanry that
was the pride Of Britain. has degen-
Grated physically and is rapidly becom-
ing enfeebled and stunted.
There has been no such weakening
OF the Germanic peoples. And this
fact, in the present state Of feeling
between England and Germany, is a
source of apprehension to the former.
What is the cause of the physical de-
cline In the English masses?
The city.
Two hundred years ago IS per cent
Of England's population lived in cities:
now nearly 70 per cent live in these
urban centers.
The great, growing monster, the
city, receives into its insatiate nav
the strength and vigor of manhood and
spews it out weakened muscles, fiabby
flesh. tainted blood.
The country builds up healthy it's
sue; the city eats it up.
God made the country; man made
the city.
The country is mans natural, nor
NAL place; in the city man is out Of his
natural surroundings.
Man in city surroundings is a phys
zeal misflt
Therefore whatever influences tend
to keep people out of the cities, where
the massing Of humanity in congested
districts breeds disease and degen-
eracy, are to be encouraged.
Made to live close to nature, man is
like that tabled parsonage who could
renew his strength only when his feet
touched the ground.
Deprived Of his sources Of strength,
he degenerates, not only in body, but
what must inevitably follow-in mind
and morals.

How to Cure Insomnia In

Insomnia is more prevalent in
summer than at any other pc

A well known New York ply
stefan recommends the following
method of inducing sleep in the
. torrid months:
"a bath Of moderate duration
. In lukewarm water just before
retiring will be found to be an
encourager of sleep.
But the person should take
. care not to dry himself thorough
ly nor rub himself with a rough
. towel so that the circulation is
stimulated.
! The idea is that by merely
wiping of the body so that It is
yet damp at the end of the bath
the body retains the soothing

water The stimulus supplied
by brisk rubbing would over
come those effects. as would wa
