THE DEVIL. YOU SAY!


Who lures us from our happy home
And robs us of our Kingdom Come,
And makes OF US a worthless bum?
The Devil!
Who makes the street lamps shine
so bright.
And makes you love the gay white
light
So much you linger all the night?
The Devil!
Who makes the bubbHng wine look
red
And put strange fOllies in your head.
When you should be in your small
bed?
The Devil!
And leads you in the phantom chase.
And makes you all good deeds
efface?

With traps ingenious he devises?

Causes for Lack of Sleep.

In cities multitudes do not know
what muscle fatigue" is, nor Of the
deep sleep that follows day Of pure
ly muscular work. A second cause for
lack of sleep Is the general use of cof-
fee, tea, cocoa and alcohol.
Many persons are firmly convinced,
because they have slept shortly after
taking one of these, that they are not
kept awake by such beverages; but az
a rule they are. The physiological hour
for sleep is ignored by an artificial
hour dictated by drugs.
A third reason for lessened sleep Is
the evening entertainment habit, de-
spite the necessity for early rising. The
theater, opera, bridge-party, etc, I'M
duly waste the sleep time. A last rea-
son for lack of sleep is nerve-cell ex-
haustion, among the causes of which
in our cities may be named the almost
continual light-stimulation Rhythmic
electric signs, etc.) and sound-stimula-
ton.

II firms abstained from attending
the fair, they would run the risk of
losing touch with old customers, who
would patronize other firms accord
ingly. 1t has to be borne in mind that
the Mini Novgorod fair is not only a
place for the conclusion of CONNER
cial transactions; 1t is also a center
for the delivery of goods against
previously concluded bargains and for
the settlement of bills of exchange.
This circumstance affords another
incentive to attendance at the fair in
order to receive payment from in
Vulnerable small clients-a task which
the banks are not in a position salts
factorily to discharge. Again. did
firms remain away from the fair, their
absence would tend to engender
doubts as to their stability. and in
this manner undermine their credit
with provincial customers.
The Mini Novgorod fair Is a con-
venient rendezvous for both buyer and
seller. The former Is nearer TO the lat
ter than at Moscow. and 1t is there
fore far easier to gather information
as TO his commercial standing and
reputation, matter Of no small i'm
portance in a country when long-term
credit Is the rule and not the excep-
ton.
