WILSON TO AROUSE
PUBLIC ON DEFENSE.
President Also Hopes to Stir. up
Congress
BREAKERS AHEAD OF CONGRESS-
All International Questions and Mex.
lean Problems Laid Aside by
Congress Which Stars on
Defense Plans

Washington, Jan 24.-President
Wilson's determination to talk to
the people of the middle west on
national preparedness has had the
effect of restoring that issue as the,
uppermost subject Of interest and
discussion in congress. For severat
weeks, although committees have
been engaged in consideration of the.
army and navy appropriation bills,
preparedness has been oyershadowed
by the Mexican problem and inter-
national questions. Now, with the
president about to tour the country
to arouse the public to military re-
quirements of the nation admins
tration and opposition leaders real
lie that lively times are ahead on
capitol hill.
Democratic leaders thoroughly In
sympathy with the presidents views
on preparedness are gratified over
the purpose OF the chief executive,
inasmueh as there has been appar-
ent in congress for some time, a ten
dency to adopt a waiting policy
among many members uncertain re-
garding the views Of their oonstit-
uents on the subject. The presidents
tour, It is believed. will serve the
double purpose Of bringing out pub
lie opinion and stirring up members
Of congress.

NAPOLEON A SOUND SLEEPER
On One Occasion, His Biographers As
sert, He Did Not Wake fer
Thirty-Six Hours.

Most great men have needed more
sleep and have taken more than has
been credited to them. In one of our
standard works an therapeutics the
writer states that Napoleon took but
four hours of sleep.
Had the writer been as careful in
his research in this matter as in 9TH
ers, he would have found that NapO
leon, who was blessed, if ever man
was, with the constitution of an OK"
took between six and eight hours Of
sleep, and though he could go for long
intervals without rest, always made
up for such loss, On one occasion sleep
ing 36 hours at a stretch, the New
York Medical Journal asserts.
Benjamin Franklin, who was as
thrifty of his time as he dared to be,
and who was very robust, limited HIM
self to six hours of repose, but not
less, and If the history of the robust
great were looked into carefully, it
would be found that they had about as
much sleep as the average man and
certainly few of them were foolish
enough to try to get along with less
than they craved. If one desires
commentary on the woes of sleepleSs'
ness, he has but to read the autool-
ography of Herbert Spencer.
1t is greater gift to be able TO
sleep Cat wild and under any CIR
cumstances than to do with little
sleep. More time is wasted in getting
to sleep than in sleeping. On the otn-
er hand, there is little doubt that TOO
long sleep, too protracted bodily relax
alton, is not best for the human Or
ganism, and many of our relaxed young
people, with no regular employment
and more time than they know how 10
consume to advantage, would be Detter
for spending less time in bed. A pre-
scription for early rising would W
them good.
