WHY RAIN INDUCES SLEEP

Sleep is the result of poisoning.
A day spent in active work, wheth-
er of mind or the muscles, entails
exertion. Exertion means the break
ing down of cells in various parts
of the body, and the waste from
these broken down cells forms a
sort Of poison which it is the duty
Of the blood TO carry away. When
awake, we make more poison than
the blood can remove; when asleep,
we make less; consequently by al
ternately waking and sleeping, the
balance is evened up.
When we wake up fresh, all
these toxic or poisonous products
have been removed; when we wake
up "stale" it is because we have
not been able to get rid of them.
Working too hard or too long, or
sleeping too little or too lightly,
means that the poison is increas-
ing in quantity and our health
suffers. The desire to sleep late is
the body's signal that we need more
sleep in order to get rid of this
body waste.
In crisp, cold weather, in a bed
room with the windows open, the
blood circulates rapidly. We breathe
more easily, the air enters the
lungs more rapidly, the purifying
oxygen enters the blood more freely
and eight hours of sleep will purge
the system of all the previous days
harm.
In rainy weather, OF in room
with the windows closed, the blood
oirculates slowly ana slugglshly.
Breathing moist air is harder than
breathing dry air, so that the body
has TO do more work. This takes
away some of its capacity for re-
moving the work poison. In addi-
ton to this, when the air is damp
the oxygen is held fast by the air
and il does not go through the
membrane Of the blood vessels in
the lungs SO easily. The blood,
therefore, receives less of the puri-
flying oxygen and is not as well able
TO rid the body of the poison.
In order to make up for the diff
ference between dry and damp aif

ed and blocked by this unreasoning
and unreasonably jealousy.
Perhaps You say the picture is
over drawn. It is not. The writer
has seen and is familiar with just
such communities. And, unfortu-
nately, in many instances the pre-
judice is well founded
1t is a fact that the clannish
spirit is the last to die Of all the
savage instincts Of man. "My clan
and my class mean everything to
me, and your clan and your class
are my natural enemies" That is
the sub-conscious reasoning of
many men even yet--and of men in
whom we would least expect it.
Is there, you ask, remedyf Yes,
there is one, but it is an individual
remedy. That is charity-that
charity which "Covereth a multi
tude Of sinsv-that charity which
"Thinketh no evil"
Like many other causes of fric-
ton between people, this condition
grows from slight causes, and a
little liberation and charity at the
right time and place will go long
way toward remedying matters.
Also stress the fact that the two
elements are mutually dependent
upon each other-their interests
one. Let each say to himself, as
said another of old, ave be breth-
rerI."
Ever try a genuine dose of char
ity toward your neighbour Try it
You will be surprised how rapidly
he will grow in your estimation.

TOWN VS.. COUNTRY

One serious obstacle to the cor
dial relations that. should exist be-
tween all classes of American life
is the unreasoning antagonism that
so often exists between the town
and the country.
Why this should exist is hard to
see, in view of the fact that each is
largely dependent upon the other in
many of the relations of life.
Unfortunately, however, it is a
fact with which we have to deal
when considering any matter of
import to the people of any given
section.
This prejudice shows itself in po-
litical life, in church life, in social
life and even in business. 1t fire.
quently manifests itself in a con-
yiction of the country man that the
town man is always watching foI
an opportunity to edo" him. he is
convinced that all existant evil has
ats origin in the towns. The town
man, to his man, exists for no 9TH
er purpose than to prey off the
farmers.
On the other hand it frequently
occurs that the people of the town
become imbued with the belief that
the country people shave it in for
them"
Thus are the relations between
the two in a strained condition, and
in many cases even the most ordi-
nary business relations are hinder

Staying Quality of Tires

"The expected happened at the In
dianapolis races" says a Goodrich of
fetal, "Resta, the favorite, in a Peu-
geot, equipped with Silvertown Tires,
won the 800 miles Speedway Sweep
stakes, with plenty to spare.
aside from Restas wonderful driv-
ing and the unusual mechanical per-
fection of the Peugeot car, the fea-
ture of the great race was the stami-
ma and staying qualities of Silvertown
Tires.
Seventeen out of % entries were
Silvertowns. The first three cars at
the finish were Silvertown equipped,
and each car only made one stop in
300 miles. Resta and Mulford both
said that it was not necessary for
them to make the one tire change,
but that, having stopped for other rea-
sons, they took the time and precau-
tion of changing one tire.
"Resta said after the 800 mile drive
that races used to be a battle of tires,
and the driver who was fortunate
enough to go through with but few
tire changes, won the race. But now
with the time tested Silvertowns, tire
troubles and blowouts have been prac-
tically eliminated. The Goodrich Com

"D'Alene, who was second in his
Duesenberg, was enthusiastic over Sill
vertown Tire service. You cannot
make my endorsement of Silvertowns
for road driving or racing, too strong,
he said. The race today shows there
never was a better tire made than
Silvertowns. Ralph Mulford, who was
third in his Peugeot, said, 1 have
always been "a Silvertown booster.
Last year | went through the Chica-
go 800 mile race without tire
change. Recently | broke the worlds
24-hour record with but one tire
change in 1900 miles, with the Hudson
Super Six, with Silvertowns all round.

HOW TO KEEP YOUR
BATTERIES CHARGED

The owner of modern motor car
is often heard to ask, How can l
keep my battery charged? My lamps
burn dim and the starter is weak"
In great many cases this COM
plant is due to the fact that the
owner does not drive his car suf-
ficiently without the lights burning
or the starter being operated to gen
crate enough current so that the bat
terry will supply the demand of the
lights and the starter when necessary.
This is especially true among the
class of car owners who drive short
distances daily, using their starting
motor considerably and not putting
back into the battery the same
amount of current they take out Then
they drive their cars at night with
the lights burning and oftentimes let
their cars stand at the curb with
the motor dead and the lights still
burning and using current from the
battery.
According to the Willard Storage
Battery company, this is being over
come to some extent through the
educational measures which have
