perfect health and excellent sleepers
hardly know the meaning of drowsi-
ness: they are active mentally and
physically until they are in bed; then
sleep comes at once. and when 1t
leaves them in the morning they are

factory nights rest, who are yet al
most constantly drowsy: they are al.

lapses to sleep with the instant return
of semi-consciousness.

or eight hours Of continuous sleep
that he needs, his daytime and eve.
ming drowsiness would disappear, he
could do more and better work, and
find life much more enjoyable.
A slight drowsiness is often noticed
after hearty meal. because active di-
gestion draws a greater volume of
blood to the stomach, so that the
brain is relatively poorly supplied. In
some southern countries this tenden-
cy is favored, and the siesta after the
noon meal is national custom. With
us, the after dinner cup of black cof-
fee often drives away the impulse to
sleep-whether for good or i'll may be
left to the psychologists to determine.
Sometimes we hear of attacks of
sleepiness occurring suddenly at Ger.
tain periods of the day or at irregular
intervals. These are altogether abb
normal. and in such cases there is al.
most always some poison at work in
the nervous centers-usually a self.
manufactured poison, which, because
1t is made in too great quantity or be.

such cases is dieting. Meat should be
given UP. for a time at least, and the
only beverage allowable is water OF

OWNERS OF LIBERTY BELL.

Contrary to general belief the old
Liberty Bell is not the property of
the nation or of the city of Philadel-
phia, but of four sisters who are heirs
of John Wilbank, the man who made
the new bell shortly after the old one
was cracked, and who took the old
bell in part payment. According to
the Home MagGsine, three of the sis
ters, Mrs. James B. McClosky, Mrs.
G. D. Emerson and Mrs. S. B. Cow
ard, live in Philadelphia. The fourth,
Mrs. S. w. B. Diehl, lives in Wash
ington, D. c.
BY an order of the Assembly of the
Province of Pennsylvania the Liber-
ty Bell was cast by an English foun-
der in 1881. Soon after arriving in
this country the bell broke, but was
recast from the same metal in the same
form and with the original inscription,
proclaim Liberty Throughout the
Land"
The ownership passed from Pro-
vincial authorities to the State, but
in 1913 it was purchased by the city
of Philadelphia, together with the
old State House and grounds. Dur
ing the celebration over the arrival
of Lafayette in 1924 the bell was
rung so vigorously it became cracked,
and few months later was ordered
replaced by new bell cast by John
Wilbank. The later bell is hanging
in the steeple of Germantown Hall.

EFFICIENCY OF YOUNG MEN.

The idea is prevalent in some COM
munities that young men are fit nei-
ther for generals nor statesmen, and
that they must be kept in the back
ground until their physical strength
is impaired by age and their intellect
ual faculties become blunted by years.
Let us look to the history of the past,
and from the long list of heroes and
statesmen who have nobly distin-
guished themselves we shall find that
they were young men who performed
those acts which have won for them
an imperishable need of fame and
placed their names high on the page
of history. Alexander, the conquerer
of the whole civilized world, died at
the age of33. Bonaparte was crown
ed Emperor of France when 80 years
of age. Pitt, the younger brother,
was about 20 years of age, when, in
Britain's Parliament, he boldly ad-
vocated the cause of the American
Colonies, and but ~ when made
Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ed
mund Burke, at the age of rs, was
the first Lord of the Treasury. Our
own Washington was but rs when he
covered the retreat of the British at
Braddock's defeat, and was appointed
Commander-in-ch chief of all the Vir-
ginia forces. Alexander Hamilton,
at 20, was a lieutenant colonel and
aid to Washington, at rs member
of Congress and at SO Secretary Of
the Treasury. Thomas Jefferson was
but 20 when he drafted the ever
memorable Declaration of Indepen-
dence.
Think about the above, boys

SOME ALFALFA POINTERS.

Alfalfa grows best on deep, sandy
loan, underlaid by loose and per-
meable subsoil.
1t will not grow if there is an ex-
cess of water in the soil. The land
must be we'll drained. Plow the land
deeply-alfalfa is deep feeder.
Sow alone and screen seed before
using to separate the dodder and other
weed seeds. Dodder is the worst
enemy of alfalfa.
For hay crop SOW 20 to 80 pounds
of seed per acre. For crop of seed
SOW ID to IS pounds per acre.
Alfalfa does not attain maturity
until the third or fourth year, so do
not sow it expecting to get the best
results in less time. Keep the weeds
moved and raked off the first season,
or they will choke out the crop.
Cut the hay when the first flowers
appear. If cut in full bloom the hay
will be woody. For seed cut when
the middle clusters of the seed pods
are dark brown.--Lexingt0n Ky.

"Ahem !" she persisted. "That

ri knew a girl" she almost
shouted, without causing so much as
ripple on the waves.
1t was annoying. She had been
there an hour without uttering a COM
plete remark. Not that her voice
was needed, but in her former church
home Mrs. Baxter had been a recog-
nized factor, and she did not intend
that these ladies should regard her
after their first meeting with them,
as person with nothing to say.
Accordingly, when the shifting
talk reminded her of an old family
anecdote about girl who had left
her home town as Mary Ann Burney,
and had been heard of in the city
shortly after as Marie Annetta Bour-
nee, she determined to be heard.
"What you were saying minute
ago." she tried for the fourth time,
"makes me think Of" But it was
useless, and by this time the current
had carried the chatter so far away
from the subject that the story was
stranded.
With a warm face Mrs. Baxter
gave it up and applied herself to her
sewing, when, presto back surged
the conversation to the same point,
and here was better chance than
ever to float her story.
II shall have to tell you, ladies" !"
she spoke up, in tones calculated to
still multitude, "about girl who
was always a synonym for silly affec-
tation in my old home. 1 don't re-
member her myselfNshe left Barra-
boo when 1 was quite small-but--"
"Barraboo Are you from Barra-
boo?" lady sitting next her broke
in. "That's my old home, too. You
may have heard of me by my maiden
name-Marie Annetta Bouruee."

I have. And while the lady from
Barraboo gave herself up to voluble

ed in spirit, thankfully allowed the

story. Xouth'S Combamion.
