Lost sleep IS
!. GONE FOREVER
Can't Be Caught up, and
Brings Old AGE, Says At
lanta Doctor.

ATLANTA. Ga, Sept. 1s.-The
theory that no one ever catches up on
lost sleep has been advanced By Dr..
James \. Ellis Of the visiting stan
OF the Grady hospital Of this city.
Sleep lost" he said last week, ais
sleep lost for all time. You never
catch up. During loss Of sleep tissues
are torn down that are never fully
though you ovcrsleep the next
night" i
Or. Eilis's theory contradicts the
modern belief that the world over
sleeps. Edison sleeps only four hours
9 night and has been quoted as say
ing: 5i
The growing tendency toward in
somnta points to transition perioo
from the old time habits Of mental
torpor to the period when man shall
be able to use her cerebral engine
every hour Of his brief life.'
In opposition toNthis DR.. Ellis says:
Four hours may do for Edison.
They won't for you or me. We need
seven TO eight hours sleep nightly,
and every hour we lose Is lost for all
time.
Loss Of sleep brings on a condi-
ton like that OF old age. II tends to
harden the arteries. 1t renders tlei
body less able to throw of poisons.
Sleep lost is like something burned
up; It's gone. 1t can't be brought
back"
