6. A. R. REUNION
 AT KANSAS CITY
Golden Jubilee EnCampmsnt
 Brings Big Attendance

A city of red, white and blue greeted the opening of the golden jubilee en- campment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Kansas City. Mo. All of the buildings In the downtown district as well as many houses in the residen- tial section are draped from top to bot. tom with bunting and flags.
 Fully 75,000 visitors are in the city. Nearly 10000 of this number are fed eral veterans of the civil war. The rest are delegates to the conventions of the auxiliaries of the G. A. k.
 The hotel Hobbies are filled with old ''vets," who are gathered in groups dis cussing the experiences of the war. Up and down the streets they are pa rading in their frazzled old blue uni forms.
 Two great campfires will be held at Convention hall during the encamp- ment.
 The big feature of the encampment will come Wednesday morning, when the veterans will parade through the streets of the city with all the pomp and dignity of marching army Fife and drum cohps from all over the coun- try will play the martial airs to which the old soldiers will march.
 Another feature of the gathering is the elaborate reunion system evolved by the committee. All of the old vet erans are registered in card filing in- dexes according to regimental order. Each regiment has a headquarters. This is to enable the soldiers to meet old acquaintances of the war days.
 Through this system several veterans who have not met since the civil war were brought together.

Some GeoqraphicaI Doubles.

Accidental doubles of geography are very curious. There are the two total ly unconnected Galicias, the one in Austria Hungary and the one in Spain. AS to the Carpathians, the doubling occurs between the ancient and the modern atlases. On the map of the ancients we find people named Carpi in the north of what is now Hungary and north of them the Carpatus moun- tains. But "Carpathian'' in Vergn, Horace and Ovid means something quite different. The Carpathian sea was the sea between Rhodes and Crete, from the island of Carpathus. now Scarpanto, and the "Carpathian old man" was Proteus, who lived and no doubt practiced his quick change tricks there.-London Spectator.

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Proper Sleep.

F To the average individual in ]. the modern civilized community,
 I. with its various opportunities and ]. limitations, there is good reason F to believe that a proper amount !. of sleep is the chief health con- !. server. All about us life, both ]. animate and inanimate, obeys
 !. the laws of nature and passes ]. into some form resembling sleep, !. usually while the sun is beneath F the horizon.
 + Authorities on health and hy- r giene point out more and more !. the need of securing at least l. eight consecutive hours of sleep. l. Where this cannot be done as a ]. routine, day after day, they ad- l. vice that the proper amount of F sleep be made up some time dur !. ing the twenty-four hours.

Fair haired, light complexioned ba- bies are more susceptible to infantile paralysis than those with dark skin and hair, according to pr. Archibald l.. Hoyne, a member of the commission appointed to investigate the disease in Chicago.
 pr. Hoyne's conclusions were reach ed after an exhaustive study of all cases taken to the Cook County hospi. tai. Of the first thirty babies taken there, it was pointed out, only one was of dark complexion.
 In an article in medical publication pr. Hoyne points to the prevalence Of the disease in Norway and Sweden to back up his convictions.
