SLEEP ENOUGH A GOOD MOTTO.
The Wisdom of Taking Rest When
II 1S Needed

From the Springfield Republican.
BY spending fifteen hours in bed Mr..
Edison both makes it clear that he is
not the superman of legend, and shows
that he has learned the wisdom of tax
ing his rest when he needs it. Trivial
as the incident is, it ought to be given
wide publicity simply for the reason
that some harm has been done by &C
counts of his working twenty hours
or a day. In several cases ambi-
tious young men have done damage
to their health by adopting too hasti-
ly his theory that three or four hours
of sleep suffices. There are exceptional
persons of whom this seems to be mea-
surably true: at any rate, for long
periods they can keep up a high pitch
of efficiency on less than half the
ordinary allowance Of sleep. To take
them as exemplars, however. is danger
Gus in proportion to the energy and
the will power of the experimental. In
most cases a quite normal and health
long hours OF work are soon balanced
by long hours of sleep. it is the strenu
Gus who pass the danger line, and
sometimes the very people who ought
TO sleep extra long hours are those who
try TO see how near they can come
to doing without any sleep at all The
reminder that even the indefatiga BILE
MIR. Edison now and then has to stop
and make up overdue repose is
salutary lesson for his Jealous imita-
tors. 1t must be confessed that the
men who do things" are not as a
rule hygienic models. probably because
they thinking about their work
more than about their health. Doctors
are bad as the rest. and the more
ambitious they are to do great things.
the less they spare themselves. Per
haps the attainment and maintenance
of ideal health is a career in itself; at
any rate, it seems seldom enough
achieved by the men who have counted
for most Some have died prematurely
while more have toiled and grumbed
into a dyspeptic or nerve-racked old
age. But in either case work has come
first, and this is such a law of genius
that scolding is hardly worth while
But genius ought not to be blindly
followed IN its contemptuous indffer-
ence to things like diet and Sleep to
a genius they may not matter, but to
mankind at large they matter great

YOUR MONEY AT WORK.
Do Business With the Bank.
ny JOHN VI, OSkJSpN

II is true of about forty-nine out of
fifty banks in this country that they
don't want to do business with YOU
unless they can make a profit out of
your account. That is because the
banks are run to make money for the
owners of THEN stock
1t is our system. and il is a perfectly
sound one. our banks are safe and
Efficient. For the service they offer
hey want reasonable pay. You can
afford to deal with them
In order to make something out of
YOUR account, the bank wants YOU 10

viii strengthen your credit if you need
10 borrow from the bank.
To meet the banks requirements YOU
must practice thrift. That is. you can
rot draw money to spend before it is
actually in the bank. The Jaw pro-
tects the bank from the fellow who
writes checks for more than he has on
deposit.
TO 40 business with the bank YOU
mast acquire valuable habits of being
tvsinesslike. For instance. YOU must
learn just what a check is. how it can

Giving checks to strangers is dan

rot leave check books lying about

The bank Will help YOU to keep

o.er the Cancelled checks which are

the men who handle your money when
you undertake investments, you will

There is an atmosphere of thrift

that he did know Dare when he met her

Dare told herself.
1t was very hot summer and there
was much suffering among the poor.
Sometimes Dare gave away so much
of her monthly income that she and
Miss Rogers had to be quite economical
when it came to themselves. But she
was happy in so doing.
Miss Rogers was slightly ailins. The
long years Of living in Il six -by-nine

her frail indeed. All day she stayed
upon the porch or within doors. but
when evening came she liked to walk
