CAUSES THAT INDUCE SLEEP
slumber Remains More or Less q Mat.
ter Of Speculation Despite All
Thought Given IL

Mr.. Arlington Bruce makes the
sensible suggestion that the best way
to go to sleep is not to worry about
ones inability to sleep. Doubtless
this refusal to worry may be cult
waited. But man is a curious crea-
ture, and sleep is an odd sort of
phenomenon.
The general view is that activity
involves the using up of material
and the accumulation of waste prod
ucts, so that the machine of the body
gets clogged. Then the machine has
to be slowed down so as to enable
the cleansing and renewing to be
carried on. But people can sleep
without being greatly fatigued, and
it is possible to be too tired to sleep.
A French psychologist suggests
that sleep is an active defensive in
stinct. We go to sleep before there
is an overpowering need. The pres
ence of fatigue poisons in the blood
simply make us take a deeper inter
est in sleep. If something overcomes
that nterest-exciting news, for in.
stance-then the inclination to sleeE
disappears. But when II interes.
in sleep is promoted by the action o.
waste products on the system, ther
we are asleep before we know it.

Years.

To begin the new year the city Of
Richmond will have between $780,
600 and $4,000 in its gen.
eral fund. in comparison with
$4,000 in the general fund at
the first of last year. 1t will be a
day or two before City Controller Nc
Mahan knows the exact amount the
city has in its strong box because all
the reports have not yet been receiv.
ed
The surplus on hand the first Of the
year is a source of qualification to the
city officials although 1t is several
thousand dollars less than the surplus
the first of last year. The expenses
of the city in 1914 were, however,
greatly in excess of the 1913 expenses.
City Pays for Light.
Last year the city began paying for
it's street lighting for the first time in
number of years and since the first
of last September it has been paying
for all water used. The salaries of
several officials were also increased
last year by virtue of the fast that
Richmond then entered the ranks of
third class cities.
The city will have more than $4,000
now in the general fund to tide it over
until the receipt of its share of the
spring installment Of taxes, Mr.. Nc

HOSPITAL BOARD CLAIMS
FINANCES CAUSE CHANGE
John Rupe Issues Statement Saying Only Question Of Money
Caused Trustees Place Miss Clara Pound Of Detroit
Head Of lnstituon-Tells Why Officials Postponed Ex-
planning Action

Asserting that Miss Marsh, former
superintendent of Reid Memorial hos
pital, retired from that position the
last day OF Decembsr with mo unkind
feeling toward any member OF our
board,' and with the boards cordial
good wishes, the hospital trustees to-
day issued a public statement an
nouncing the change of management
at the hospital.
About two weeks ago a number Of
physicians gave banquet in honor of
Miss Marsh, and at that time frankly
expressed their disapproval Of the
trustees action in dispensing with her
services. The boards statement is as
follows:
To the Citizens of Richmond:
A change has been made in the man
agement Of Reid Memorial hospital,
Miss Clara B. Pound of Grace hospital,
Detroit, and Miss Maude Erb, a gradu-
ate of Hackley hospital, Muskegon,
Mich, being in charge as superintend-
ent and assistant.
These ladies assumed charge Janu-
ary 1, Miss Pound arriving December
81, and Miss Erb January l.
Gives Financial Reasons.
This change in management has
been made by the board Of trustees
wholly for financial reasons. There
has been nothing whatever of a person
al character toward our retiring super
intendent, Miss Marsh. For the past
two years during which Miss Marsh
was in charge, her work in the care Of
patients, in her ability to get on nicely
with all having to do with the hos
pital has been entirely satisfactory
and fully appreciated. She came to
us two years ago with practically no
experience in the business manage
ment of a hospital, and our expenses
have become so heavy that with knowl-
edge of our dependable income, it
became apparent to our board that We
must have a more experienced super
intendent in the business management
of the hospital or incur debt, which
our board, as business men, did not
believe should be done. There has
been no hasty action in the matter.
