HOW TO INDUCE SLEEP
AVOID ALL oPIATEs AND OTHER
FORMS OF dope"
Light Meal Followed by Moderate
Exercise, Well Aired Room and
Warm Feet Usually VIII Bring
Peaceful Slumber.

There are sound hygienic methods
by which sleep may be induced. In
curslons into the realms of patent
medicines, opiates, and all sorts of
slumber elixirs which are summed up
as dope" should be avoided. But
the moral of this lesson has been
pointed over and over, yet little has
been said about natural methods OF
wooing sleep. Under this head does
not come the various mental contrlv.
ances such as counting sheep or re-
citing the multiplication table.
Oxygen Is as necessary to tie body
cells during the hours of sleep as Mt
any other time. Perhaps in the case
of children Il is even more necessary.
For them sleep means the time of
anabolism, growth and repair. The
old prejudice against open windows
still exists, IN sr'c Of TIE cainpcigas

in the schools. Dust in the rooms.
an imaginary draft, the fear of colds,
and many other stupid reasons are
advanced in excuse of this pernicious
prejudice
The organs of the body also should
be considered, and no excessive work
should be given the heart or digestive
organs before retiring to rest. High
pillows lead to an increase in the
hearts force at time when the
heart should have the lightest work.
Pillows that are too low may cause
headaches, and even sleeplessness.
through an excess of blood being in
the brain. Heavy late suppers are
unwise, but light meal, followed by
such moderate exercise as short
walk, is generally conducive to sound
sleep. The light meal causes a
withdrawal of blood from the head
into the stomach area and the body
generally. The body is therefore
warmed, and this is important.
Cold extremities, particularly cold
feet cause sensory stimulations,
which produce sleeplessness, often
for hours. People who suffer in this
way should take means to keep theh
feet warm artifcially by using sleep
Ing socks. or slipper baths, or by the
use of hot water bottles, and by
sleeping between blankets.
1t is, of course, fatal to sound
sleep to go to bed with anything on
the mind" In these sensational and
pleasure-loying days We often retire
to rest after receiving a long series
OF vivid sensations which often ac.
count for hours of sleepless tossing.
Sometimes this may be relieved by
a gentle friction OF the head with n
medium hard brush.

away the disturbing sensory i'm

HOUSE MEMBERSHIP
INCREASED TO 433
DEMOCRATS ovERTURN ACTION
OF REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
Democrats Lose One Decision, When
They Wanted States Aedis-
tricted by Legislatures.

Washington.-The Democrats Of the
house, aided by q few Republicans
who declined to be bound by the
party caucus, won their fight for an
increased representation in the lower
branch of congress under the census
Of 1910. They voted down the Repub-
lican caucus bill to maintain the men,
bership at 391 as at present, and then
passed the original Crumpacker bill,
fixing the membership at 433 on and
after March 3, 1918.
Under the new reapportionment plan
no state loses q member. The follow
ing states gain the NUMBER indicated:
Alabama /, California 8, Colorado l,
Florida 1, Georgia /, Idaho l, Illinois
2. Louisiana 1, Massachusetts 2, Mich
igan l. Minnesota l. Montana /. New
Jersey 2, New York 6, North Dakota /,
Ohio l, Oklahoma 8, Oregon l, Penn
sylvania A., Rhode Island /, South
Dakota 1, Texas 2, Utah /. Washing
ton Q, West Virginia /. .
The Democrats lost but one decision
during the entire fight. A committee
amendment in the bill, providing that
states should be redistricted by the
legislatures, was voted down on an
appeal from the Republican members
of the Missouri delegation. They de-
clared the Estates should be permitted
to redistrict themselves in their own
Wav.

PERCY SAYS SOUTH
IS AGAINST CHANGE
SENATORIAL ELECTION MEAS.
URE ARousEs SENATOR.
Declares Amendment to Elect Sens
tors BY Direct Vote FrAu1ht
With Danger.

Neutrality-suspicious. Leroy Percy
Of Mississippi made q splendid i'm.
preston upon the senate and the gal.
leries Wednesday by q speech which
entities him to recognition as one OF
the foremost debaters Of that body.
Senator Percy delivered himself
against the Sutherland amendment to
the bill to amend the constitution Of
the United States to permit the cleo
ton Of senators by popular vote. The
senator from Utah. q Republican. de-
sires the bill so amended as to place
the election OF members Of the senate
under fedora; control. Senator Percy
declared that while Mississippi and
the other Southern states want to'se
the election Of senators by popular
vote, the South could not aoffrd to
purchase the privilege at the very
great price fixed by the Sutherland
amendment, or, in other words, the
South wants no repetition of force

The effect of the amendment sug.
gested by the senator from Utah."
said Senator Percy, would be to give
congress every power now possessed
by 1t in regard to the election of
members OF the house Of representa-,
tives in regard to the election Of sena,
tors under the proposed resolution.
The extent of that power under the
amendment is, I believe, properly
stated by the senator from Utah, Mr..
Sutherland, in response to an in.
quiry by the senator from Georgia,
Mr.. Bacon. The effect of the addition
proposed by the senator from Utah,
as stated by him, is that 1t will give
the federal government power to put
agents at elections Of senators to
supervise these elections, to see the
manner In which the votes were
cast and to enforce what might be
thought to be the rights Of electors
In such elections.
I'm other words, the effect of the
amendment of the senator from Utah is
to extend a substantial, q vital power to
congress which it does not now possess

TEDDY FOR DIRECT ELECTIONS
Would Have President and Senators
Thus Selected.

Grand Rapids, Mich.-The election
of United States senators by direct
vote of the people and the proposed
Canadian reciprocity agreement is
favored by former President Theodore
Roosevelt. In a speech made here
at the Lincoln Clubs banquet Col.
Roosevelt came out squarely in favor
of the change.
"One of the progressive policies
upon which I think the great majority
of progressives are agreed is that
United States senators should be
elected by popular VOTE" said Col.
Roosevelt. THE constitution should,
in my judgment. be so amended as to
provide for this"
Asserting that the present method
of electing senators was a "relic" of
old times and should be remedied,
the colonel also declared himself in
favor of abolishing the ELECTORAL col
lege in the election of president.

JOE BAILEY DEFENDS
WILLIAM L0RIMER
BOLDLY CHALLENGES HIS AN
TAGoNIsTS TO TESTIFY.
Not Proved That Lorimer Had Per.
sonal Connection With Alleged
Corruption.

Neutrality-suspicious. of Senator
Lorimer of Illinois was offered by Sen
ator Bailey of Texas Monday in q
speech SO powerful that it was heard
and applauded from time to time by
what was perhaps the largest attend
ance of members and spectators that
has been seen on the floor and in
the galleries of the senate chamber
during the present session of congress.
His plea that the senator from IL
linois be permitted to retain his seat
was of SO elaborate q nature and de-
livered with such force and fervor
that it placed Mr.. Bailey in the chief
place among the defenders of Mr..
Lorimer.
From the legal and personal point OF
view Mr.. Bailey presented the case
Of Mr.. Lorimer. In the main the
speech was a review of the law and
the testimony, but Mr.. Bailey intro
duced many novel and striking feat
ures, not the least startling of which
was the assertion that forgery had
been resorted to to make a case
case against the Illinois senator.
Mr.. Bailey boldly charged that the
war ON Mr.. Lorimer had been unre-
lenting and personal, and said the ef-
fort had not been SO much to con-
vict ~wrongdoers as to destroy Mr..
Lorimer.
The Illinois was held up as a man
possessed of all the private virtues,
and the Texan asserted more than
testimony of selrconfessed bribe-
takers would be necessary to con-
vince him Of corrupt practices on the
part of Mr.. Lorimer.
Dealing with the general aspect OF
the case, Senator Bailey entered upon
the consideration of the law involved.
He laid down these two propositions:
First, If the officer whose election
is challenged, personally participated
in or encouraged or sanctioned the
bribery, then his election Is void with
out reference to the extent of the
bribery.
Second, II the officers whose cleo
ton is challenged did not personally
participate in or encourage or sane.
ton the bribery, then his election
cannot be avoided unless it Is shown
by sufficient evidence that enough
votes weer bribed to effect the re-
suit"
