THE NECESSITY OF SLEEP
Daylight and Darkness and the Power
Of Sight Regulate the Hours
Of Rest.

II we are to believe an eminent
British scientist We should, were 1t
always daytime" never sleep. In his
opinion there is no particular reason
why we, or any Of the other animals,
should rest, on an average, eight or
nine hours day
That period of rest, We are assured.
has been determined by the fact that
eight hours is the average period
wherein there is a lack Of sufficient
light to enable us to move about and
have our being in comfort.
1t further appears that the most
fundamental distinction between day
and night is wholly relative to the
sense of sight. 1t affects only those
types of life which have developed
eyes. Plants being dependent for
their growth upon the action of rays
of sunlight that fall upon their leaves.
have wide distinction between day
and night functions. They eat and
digest in the light and grow during
the hours Of darkness.
The lower forms of animal life-the
sightless inhabitants of ocean depths
do not rest at regular intervals. They
prowl about necessarily, seeking prey
by the sense of touch alone. When
they rest, we are told, it is at irregular
intervals. In other words, they have
no distinct periodicity of their own.
But soon as eyes are developed, and in
proportion to this development, ami
mails begin to divide their times into
two main portions. a waking and
sleeping time. While there is light
they perform all motive functions;
when darkness comes they retire to
nest or lair to rest.

MISCHIEF MAKER
A Surprise In Brooklyn.

An adults food that can save .
baby proves itself to be nourishing and
easily digested and good for big and
little folks. A Brooklyn man says:
when baby was about eleven
months old he began to grow thin and
pale. This was, at first. attributed to
the heat and the fact that his teeth
were coming. but, in reality. the poor
little thing was starving, his mothers
milk not being sufficient nourishment
''One day after he had cried bitterly
for an hour. suggested that my wife
try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked
two teaspoonfuls in a saucer with a
little sugar and warm milk. This baby
ate SO ravenously that she fixed Sec
ond which he likewise finished.
TT was not many days before he for
got all about being nursed, and has
since lived almost exclusively on
Grape-Nuts. Today the boy is strong
and robust, and as cute mischief
maker as a thirteen months old baby
is expected to be.
I'VE have put before him other
foods, but he will have none of them,
evidently preferring to stick to that
which did him SO much good-his old
friend Grape-Nuts.
Use this letter any way you wish,
for my wife and I can never praise
Grape-Nuts enough after the bright
ness 1t has brought to our household"
Grape-Nuts is not made for a baby
food, but experience with thousands Of
babies shows It to be among the best,
II not entirely the best in use. Being
a scientific preparation of Natures
grains, it is equally effective as body
and brain builder for grown-ups.
