What Doctors Say.

The doctors have long been tell
ing us that we eat too much-there
are very few who take the oppo
site view-but as to sleep they have
generally gratified our own propen-
stiles by ASSURING US that eight
hours out of every twenty -four are
not too much.
Mr. Edison stoutly combats this,
and he backs up his assertion that
we sleep about. twice too long. by
additional examples from his own
family, who, it seems. have come
around to his opinion, and are now
satisfied and thriving on four or
five hours sleep per day.
Of course, no man can set rules
on such a subject that all others
may safely follow. Very much de-
ponds upon the makeup of the in
dividuaI, and it is significant that
persons OF great nleilldl dCllNlty
usually sleep less than those whose
brains are not so rich, or so well
developed. Napoleon and Frederick
the Great got along with three or
four hours sleep a day, and Edi-
son, it appears, averages even less.
But in all these cases the sleep is
as perfect as it is brief. There are
no dreams, no restlessness, while
it lasts. 1t is the pure essence of
absolute rest. Probably those mys-
FERROUS readjustments that go on
among the molecules of the brain
and the body during sleep are made
more rapidly and more thoroughly
in profound slumber than when the
rest is broken.
1t follows that everybody ought
to try to acquire the ability to
sleep quickly and soundly. The

It Takes Effort.

You can not expect to acquire
this faculty at once, for no doubtit
demands a great deal of effort and
resolution at first. But you might
make an experiment and cut off a
little sleep at a time, remembering
always that the most important
thing is to learn how to fall asleep
the moment you lie down. Don't
cultivate sleep; take it only when
you absolutely need it. Napoleon
could take nap in the saddle that
made him twice as terrible to the
enemy the instant he awoke.
There is something almost con-
vincing about Edison's saying that
sleep is one of our pleasures, and
the human tendency is always to
everyday a pleasure about so per
