that the people of Oktibbeha county are
determined to have their smokehouses

economically as anywhere in the United

OF all the scientific departments the
weather bureau was started with the
least amount of knowledge of its par
ticular subject Independent observ-
ers had gathered Il small amount of
disasoociated facts and based conclu-
sion as it suited them upon the facts.
But meteorology was d very indefinite
thing. strongly tibered with bad guess
rs. myths. traditions and theories. 1t
was like the German grammar OF
which Mark Twain complained. For
every page of rules there were forty
pages of exceptions. When the wealth
er bureau was started it was with lit
tie worth while. 1t had TO map out a
campaign of study, and there was no
way of telling how long 1t might be
before the study would permit of the
laying down of rules. Every one
knows that the bureau is far more eff
cient than it was. 1t is getting the
hang of the weather. learning its null
titudinous tricks. its coyness and
treachery. 1t is in the nature OF the

What is the cause of sleep, that
condition In which approximately
one-third of the short human life Is
spent9 The most plausible OF hypo
theses is that sleep is the result OF a
poisoning or intoXication in the animal
organnsms Yawning, stretching, and
the inclination to yawn are symptoms
of poisoning or intoxication. There
are chemical poisons that cause sleep.
1t Is reasonable to suppose that some
narcotic substance is accumulated dur
ing the waking condition, when all the
acts of the normal man are ordered by
the brain; and that the same substance
is eliminated during sleep. Man sleeps
at night, because night is the time of
calm, of silence, of the sleep of nature.
Nothing is more variable than the
individual need of sleep. In the same
families are individuals who thrive
on three or four hours sleep, while
others need TO sleep eight or nine
hours. Napoleon slept when he wish
ed TO sleep and when he found time to
sleep. Doctors hold the opinion that
infants require l6 and 20 hours of
sleep; that until the sixth year child
needs to sleep from II to Is hours.
From the sixth to the eleventh year
from nine to II hours sleep is sufii-
cient % the child whose health is nor
NAL,
| Sleep is not equally sound through
out the night, 1t is soundest during
the first three hours, the maximum
of intensity being in the second hour.
The first sleep is, or ought to be,
sacred; 1t should not be disturbed In
any way. In the middle of the night
the sleep Is less sound Toward morn
ing 1t deepens again; but 1t is always
lighter then than during the first three
hours.
There is no physiological reason
for concluding that either the night
or the morning sleep Is the more
healthful. Children are, generally
night sleepers; neverless there are
children who, after they reach then
third year, sleep In the morning. II
a child sleeps late there is no reason
