The theory is that the minority, By

who oppose this conference fear that If

A doctor says that the causes Of sleep

an accumulation Of gas, and this also
interferes In a mechanical way with
the hearts action.
The author has found very close
relationship existing between neur-
asthenia and insomnia, the one condi-
ton usually being concor1itant Of the
other. Worry over business and social
affairs is the well-known cause Of
much Of the insomnia. Depressing emo

GUS kinds are other factors that mill

size the people are served with milk
from a dozen to 4 hundred da1rymen.
Each man covers the whole territory
and he spends the larger share OF

der a cooperative plan one man would

and do the work In an hour or two

What holds good with reference to
the division of distribution will apply
to other lines in q measure. There Is
more room for improvement in distri-
button than in any other direction. The
campaign for efficiency is on. 1t is
now being applied with excellent re-
suits in manufacturing industries. Fac
tories that We're being operated at a
loss in the east have been made profit
earners by scientific management and
in others that We're yielding a profit
the income has been largely increased.
This principle is being applied to
transportation and to production in the
field os agriculture and horticulture.
Distribution has received but little at
tention in this country heretofore, but
the time is coming when it will be
regarded seriously.
Denmark has had a wonderful de-
velopment along this line. The pro-
ducers OF butter, cheese, eggs and
bacon formed associations some years
ago and established their own agents
in London. their chief market. They
got right next" to the consumers. Not
only this but they increased their eff
ficiency in production both in guam
tity and quality. The result has been
t oincrease their income very largely
withou, material increase in price to
the consumer.
The distributor who IS wise will
make provision for the coming OF a
new dispensation in his line. 1t is not
evaded It is the result OF an inevita-
BILE evolutionary process in which there
will come an elimination OF the fellow
who makes no progress and a gradual
of the business OF dis
tribution into the hands of the fittest.

found the goose patiently trying 20
hatch out q mass OF snakes, which
twisted and entwined around each 9TH

ceiving as much attention from the
goose as If they were goose eggs. Jake

alive and the dead reptiles numbered
seventeen. Not trace OF the four eggs

placed them in the nest. Two days
later he went to take another look at
the setting goose. She was busy In
cubating as before but Jake, ON driving
her from the nest, found another mass
OF curled up snakes within. He killed
these and counted them and they num-
bered ten. There were two varieties OF
snakes in the nest, striped and spotted
ones, as there were the previous time.
The eggs he had placed there had dis
appeared as before. This second ex-
perience satisfied Jake that the piac-

purpose and dignity II deserves?

other blessedness. He has work-a
purpose; he has found it. and VIII fol-
low it." This man does not watch the
clock while waiting for the quitting
hour each day, nor does he watch the
calendar to note when the vacation
season il to arrive. Yet. to him va
cation would really mean more than to
the one who finds less Of pleasure IN
his daily tasks. Where 1t is the man
and not the work he il doing that ID
undressing, a vacation presents the
spectacle OF an unhappy workman
seeking to go away somewhere Tor the
purpose OF getting away from himself
for a while. This he will hardly be
able to do He will find the same lack
Of interest in his play that he finds IN
his work.
It il not use for one to change his
geographical surroundings. in order
that he may find happiness. The man
who gees on g vacation outing and
finds pleasure is the one who takes It
with him. The more he enjoys his
fifty weeks Of work the more truly will
he enjoy his two weeks OF play. If he
can not see the wholesome, sunny side
OF things in the office, the mill or amid
whatever surroundings he may be en-
ployed. he will not be likely to and 1t
