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 as
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., un-
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.

TRACKS FOR AUTO SPEEDING
Present Prospects Are That Five New

Although the majority of the IL mo-

not made money on their races this

new tracks will be added to the cir

the Mini Novgorod fair is not only a
place for the conclusion Of CONNER

WHILE ON BALL FIELD

Every time Jack Coombs,
pitcher Of the Brooklyn (Nation-

the field to pitch he wears
heavy rubber brace from knee to
hip, and supplements this with
yards and yards of bandages.
Jack also carries heavy steel
brace as a, protective device.
They are necessary, following
hiS severe illness which ended
his career with the Athletics.
Hii wonderful stamina is shown
by his ability again to hold his

MAY MEAN THAT FEDERAL
BUILDING MAY BE RUSHED
Farm Agent is Notified by Treasury
Department TO Make His AppH-
catien for Office Space in
the New Structure

A letter received this week by
Farm Agent Fash fro mthe United
States Treasury Department in
structs him to file at once his appli-
cation for office space in the new
Federal building TO be erected in
this city, and this is taken here as
an indication that the time of build
ing the structure may be set for
ward a year or two.
Soon after the Government bought
and paid for the site for the new
building at Third Avenue and Ever
green street, dope was sent to Post
master Early from the Treasury De-
partment which advised that, on n
basis of the rapidity with which the
building plans were being approved.
1t would probably be 1920 before
work could start on Durant's build
ing. The subsequent action of the
Department in leasing Fred Harle's
opera house for the post office quar-
ters for six years, makes this appear
pretty accurate.
Efforts have been made locally
through our Congressman and SEN
ators to have the Durant plans ad-
vanced, and the letter to Mr.. Fash
is taken to mean that the plea has
not been in vain, although 10 official
statement on the matter, other than
the request to Mr., Fash, has been
made.
