Smoking Affects the Nerves

Does smoking affect the nervesf How many
hours should a nervous person sleep? l., {.
All modern investigation is proving moro
and more conclusively that tobacco affects
the nerves very decidedly. In recent experi-
ments 1t has been found that the power Of
nervous control Is diminished from Is to 20
per cent after smoking ono cigar and more
than twice this after smoking two or more
cigars.
A nervous person should sleep at least
eight hours in the fresh air Nine or ten
hours sleep is none too much.

Flatulency-C0ld Knees at Night

What ia the cause OF fatulency? What pro-
duces coldness OF the knees at night? L. II.
Flatulency is the result Of too long reten-
ton of the food substances in the intestines
with the production of fermentation. The
difficulty can be usually overcome by IN
creasing the number of bowel movements TO
two or three daily This can be accom-
plished by careful regulation OF diet to In
clude sufficient bulk. This may be secured
by the free use of fruits. vegetables, espe-
cialy the coarse ones cereals and In some
cases by using bran in quantities Of large
tablespoonful at each meal
Tho coldness OF the knees probably comes
from an unbalanced circulation, and this in
turn is one of the manifestations of autoin-
toxication. with the improvement Of the In
testinal conditions the circulation will be
improved.

ORDER TEXT BOOKS
EARLY, SAYS PRINTER
Saving Is Effected by Regulating
Employment.

Earlier ordering OF school text
books by boards OF education offers
fruitful field for saving in war
time, according to Henry p. Kendall,
Of the Plimpton Press. whose state
ment on the subject has been trans
mitted to the Bureau of Education
Of the Department OF the Interior.
II school boards can arrange to
adopt school texts before January, as
serts Mr.. Kendall, instead OF wait
ing until the end OF the school year
in June. a large saving in the book
binding trade will result. Ordering
school text books earlier In the year
will, it Is declared. help to regu-
larize employment in the school book
trade, making uniform hours of work
and rates Of pay possible throughout
the year.
In one plant at the present time
the hours of labor so vary between
winter and summer. that on a basis
OF 100 per cent as the fat weekly
wage, operators during the summer
months, because of overtime, earn
about 1SO per cent. and during the
winter months about 60 per cent.
The workers are Obliged TO work
very long hours in the summer time
and go without vacations.

OF all the places where men or
women seek to disguise their hand
writing, the marriage license counter
is really the last place where il should
be attempted
Application blanks for the matri-
monially included have been in vogue
In the courthouse for a couple of
months or more. Every applicant
writes his or her name in ink and a
little history under II.
Physicians prescriptions used to be
the hardest things in the world for a
layman to decipher, but the license
blanks at the court house go the
doctor one better.
Some have attributed this undecI-
pherable writing to nervousness.
Others say that the blanks are just
common everyday speciments Of poor
writing. Ten feet away from the Ii
cense counter a mans not a wom-
ans handwriting changes.
II you think this Is not so, ask Col.
Kroll, because he sometimes has TO
get out his microscope to see what he
is reading. The folks who canont read
or write are lots easier to serve than
the majority that can write. or course
some allowance must be made for the
occasion. Men are more apt to be
nervous at this particular time than
women. 1t is when the preacher

Cupid Makes Record Score
At District License Bureau
Increase of 1913 Per Cent Recorded by Col
w. A. Kroll-Banrer Year in Weddings
= Is Predicted

Cupid went stronger by a third more
during the past month. than he did
during the corresponding period last
year. According to the records OF
Col. w. A. Kroll, of the marriage
license bureau, at the court house.
COS couples secured marriage licenses.
Against only 413 for October of last
year, this is a gain of 1872, or about
thirty-three and one-third per cent
increase.
There has been an increase during
every month OF this year. and Col.
Kroll stated yesterday as he closed
the books for the day, that this year
would show a gain in licenses issued
OF more than one thousands for the
year.
In other lines the ONCE OF the clerk
of the District Supreme Court an in
crease in the amount of business is
discernible. Last October 81 suis IN
equity were led. This October n have
been filed. Divorce application last
October numbered "a. For this Octo-
Der past only 10 have been filed, show
ing that there Is less quarelling or
whatever 1t is that causes divorces.
Business conditions also show a
decided increase. Only one petition
in bankruptcy was filed during the
whole month. That one is 20 far not
adjudicated bankrupt at this writing.
So the month OF October 1917 saw no
business fsillngs.
Ten Firms Bankrupt.
During October, 1916. ten firms
went into bankruptcy. Six of these
were involuntary and four voluntary.
Suits at law show O slight increase.
