SUNSET BEDTIME
FOR YOUNGSTERS
Children Under Eight Years
Old Should Be Asleep
Early

SunZt should be bedtime for every
child under s years of age
When the chickens begin TO roost
and twilight begins TO deepen, the
country baby's head begins to droop
and he is ready for his cot
The more nervous town baby. who
has nothing for an example except
the sun. and who, at any rate on
rainy days. is used to a twilight at
mosphere at midday. seldom wishes
to go TO bed with the chickens
If he lives in an apartment. he must
hear drifting down the hall the tan
talizing voices OF his elders at dinner
and the smell of savory things from
the kitchen greets his nostrils
But. hard as IL may seem, the city
mother must have even more rigid
rules about bedtime than the country
mother.
Her child is at greater disadvant-
age in the first place in not living
where he can breathe the purest air,
i'm the midst of healthy country sights
and sounds. The distractions of city
life are so numerous and so varied,
from the changing Of the scissors

past Of the fire engine. that city-bred
children need more repose than chill
dren in smaller towns or the country.
And between and $50 they should
be undressed and put to bed.
DON'T LIE CHILD ROMP
In order to insure restfui sleep. no
romping or other excitement should
be permitted for at least an hour he-
fore q child retires.
An hour should elapse also between
a light supper and bedtime.
A famous chiidren's physician sug-
gested that there be a gradual tran
sition between supper and bedtime
from waking TO sleeping. and when
the child begins TO fight sleep. and
his eyelids seem heavy. he may be
undressed.

experts that the digestive apparatus
should not be working during sleep.

OF late years base ball has taken
such grip upon the American pub

printed the day of their arrival un-
less the games are played so late in
the day that to wait for the results
would seriously delay the paper. in

In addition to this The Sentinel
has installed a sporting bulletin. on
which each day will be chalked the
days games in the three important
leagues and also the standing of the
