Ask Ban on Religious wilmer.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
July 81, 1913.
Sir-The enclosed set of resolutions
voice the sentiments OF the priests of
the diocese of Newark, N. J. We
feel that when your attention is
called to the manner in which the
Catholics of this country are yilified
by the scandalous sheet known as
THE Menace" you will do what you
can to nullify its lies and untruthful
criticism. and if possible, as by re-
quest of resolutions. see that the
United States mall does not convey
its sentiments to the public. If this
cannot be done, and we hope 1t can,
at least insist that the present legis-
lation be enforced and only bona-fide
subscribers receive it. We are, yours
sincerely,
THE UNION OF HOLY NAME
SOCIETIES.
(Signed) REV. MARK J. DUFFY,
Acting Secretary.
The above letter, together with the

UNABLE TO SEE THE JOKE
Not Read His Own Writing,
Wac Annoyed

Representative William c. Adam
son. chairman OF the house committee
on interstate and foreign commerce,
can perhaps claim the record In the
house for illegible chirography. He
will admit that 1t Is sometimes impos-
sible for him to read his own hand
writing after 1t has grown cold.
One day q client entered his law
ONCE at Carrollton, Ca, and handed
him letter.
Mr. Adamson." he said, II received
that letter In the mail yesterday and
am unable to read It. I wish YOU
would translate It for me-"
Nj. Adamson took the letter, which
was scrawled on a plain sheet Of pa
per, and regarded 1t for long time.
Then he handed It back with the re-
mark:
That is not writing. Some lunatic
has been trying to play q joke on
you"
Straightway the visitor handed Mr..
Adamson the printed envelope IN
which the letter had been mailed.
This letter evidently came from
your office. Mr.. Adamson: your name
Is printed on the envelope" he said.

Concerning Sleep.

The food that nourishes us is
essential to life, but is no more
essential than the form of rest
! we call sleep. Sleep is mys-
terious thing; very little is known
bout the physical process which
causes it. 1t comes and goes like
a rising and falling tide; we
abandon ourselves with glad re-
lief to it at the end of the day;
it renews our vigor both of mind
and of body, and if it fails for
any cause, we fail also in health
and strength.
The question is often asked,
How much sleep do l need?
The answer is not simple, for
people differ in this respect. In
fants should sleep nearly all the
time, children should sleep more
than adults, and the young need
more sleep than the old. There
are, however,, some aged persons
in whom form of cerebral
anemia causes an almost constant
drowSineSs that doubtless helps
to prolong life. In general,
seven hours for men and eight
or more for younger is a very
safe allowance.
More important than the exact
time you spend in bed is tie
regularity and soundness of the
sleep you get. People are as
tonishingly Indifferent to these
matters. Young people who
wish to enjoy social designations
until late at night often refer to
the case of some famous m; n
who lived for years on four hours
sleep and accomplished maryels,
but such young people them
selves rarely achieve anything
but irritability, bad complexion
and laziness.
It is a wise plan to 60 to bed
at are gular and seasonal BILE hour
every night. The bedroom should
be dark, quiet and flooded with
fresh, outdoor air. The bed
clothing should be light in
weight, but sufficient to keep the
sleeper warm. Never draw the
blankets oyer your head; if neces-
sary, protect it from the winter
cold by sleepiug-hood.

when the earth was in It's FIRST youth

At this time the water was gradually
