Here IL a suggestion for the vic
tim OF nervous nsomnia--indeed. for
the victim OF any form OF funetional

lf you are not now a lover OF read.
Ing. try to develop a reading habit.
In particular. make n poln, to
read n good book Tor a short time
every evening. or have some one
read Co YOU.
You will nnd the effect OF this

will help insure 10 you n good nights

thoughts. and thus will be OF positive
value IN promoting your return 10
nervous balance.
say this In the light Of actual re
rults. The helpnllness OF reading
rs medicine for tired nerves has
been repeatedly demonstrated.
Particularly noteworthy Is the en-.
reriencc OF friend Of mine. the dl.
rector OF n sanatorium fer the nerv.
Gus. He Is a man famed on two con.
tinents Tor bis special knowledge Of
nervous disorders. For years n has
been a rule with him To try 10 gct
his patients interested In reading.
Almost every evening he p-ads
aloud to himself In the sana.

atients gather round him, while.
for perhaps three-qusrters ~ an
hour. he reads soniv book and com.
ments on IL.
One evening II will be volume

classic in notion. In all that he says
about the books be reads. his great
aim Is TO keep interest alive and
stimulate his readers tc think for
themselves concerning what be L.
reading.
A few minutes arr allowed for
questions when the reading comes
&C. an end. Then the patients go 20
bed. With their thoughts fixed pleas
IrabIy on something other than
themselves
Many OF the patients who core to
thus -sanEtoe.um have never s~for~
thought much aboui anything except
u. mselves. Not few come with
scarcss any knowledge Of books be
ond those read AZ school
All this their doctor changes He
teaches them to love books He
opens their minds ~ the tranquiliiI-
ing as well a. invigorating power
that Is In reading wisely done.
Any nervous person. In his own
home. can similarly make use OF
reading to help himself. lie must.
however. observe certain precau-
lions.
He must not read too long at a
single sitting. An hour, At most.
ls long enough for him After that
ke should ponder quietly what Ne
has Just read.
Books Of too exciting character
must De avoidet. On the other
hard, books treating OF something in
which the reader II quite uninter-
Gated must equally be avoided.

Gov. 0eeper Must Probe
Charges That Politicians
Seek Wernicke's Place


Seek Wernicke's Place
The charges fled by Edward Frens-
6orf, member Of the Jackson prison board
u ccntrol. that there is on foot political
conspirscy to have O. III. L. Wernicke re
pInced on that board. have been made SO
publicly, have commanded such wide at
tention and aroused so much indignation
that Gov. Sleeper must find himself COM
peeled to look into them.
Frensdorf charges that Wernicke is UNI
popular with politicians with pulls in the
Republican party, because these politi-
clans with pulls have selfish interests at
stake.
They do not like him because he has
stood out against contractors who want
the labor Of convicts for less than it
costs the state to feed them.
Those who are familiar with Frens-
DORIS labors for the prison appreciate
fully that he speaks solely from the
standpoint of duty and from interest in
work that he has given his whole heart
and the most of his time.
His efforts to have Wernicke retained
come under the head Of 1.-THE good Of the
prison. because the state would suffer
more than the loss Of competent Off
ciaI; IL would suffer notice upon ALL
competent officials, through the governor
Of the state, that competency doesn't
matter when political ends are to be
served.
The very fact that this is exactly what
he displacins Of wernicke would mean,
eouvinces US that Gov. Sleeper viii give
the case the consideration it should have
It his hands, and that he win act on the
side Of suitable reward for competency
and duty well performed If convinced Of
conspiracy to get" Wernicke.
The Times is willing to grant cheer
fully that the governors hands are free.
- he says they are, and upon that fact
bases its hope that wernicke's valuable
services ~ q member Of the board of
control will be suitably recognized by his
appointment to succeed himself.
Wernicke is given large share of the
credit for the splendid showing that has
been made by Jackson prison: credit
equal to that given Warden Simpson.
Much Of the credit is due these men
- individuals, but the real credit for
Jackson prisons better showing-for the
tact that it is on basis better than self
sustaining--is due to NON-PARTlSAN
board.
A non-partisan board must be nom
political board. and if the efficient man
agement Of this prison is to be continued,
Il Is up to Gov. Sleeper to keep it out of
politics.

BROWN SPEAKING
FOR Ed HOPKINS

Arthur NJ. Brown, reelected city
and county attorney at the recent
primary election, stands squarely be-
hind every Republican candidate foY
office, including Eddie" Hopkins, the
G. O.. P. selection for sheriff, and
urges the electorate to vote the
straight Republican ticket on June 5.
Attorney Brown made this an
nouncement at two well-attended Re-
publican meetings held last night, one
in Waikiki and the other at the Ban
yam tree, Palama, and repeated 1t to-
day with emphasis to the Star-Bulle-
tin. Brown says he will endeaVor to
attend every Republican campaign
meeting from now until election day,
backing up all Republican candidates
and urging the straight ticket vote.
Last night Attorney Brown thanked
the voters for their loyal support in
the primaries, and asked that the
voters give this same support to the
Republican candidates in the general
election.
He also took occasion to call to the
attention Of the voters certain reports
that have reached him to the effect
that an alliance had been formed be-
tween himself and Sheriff Charles K
Rose, candidate for reelection on the
Democratic ticket. Attorney Brown
denounced this report as absolutely
untrue, and charged the circulation
Of the report to political enemies.
He added that, while he was a
personal friend of Rose, no political
alliance ever would Or could be
thought of between Brown, Republi-
can, and Rose, Democrat.
Il want the voters to understand"
he concluded, that will use my best
endeavors to secure the election Of
Hopkins and the entire Republican
ticket. am going to work for the
whole ticket and will try to be present
