The Matter of Sleep.

1t. is surprising what little sleer
men can get on with; then, not a few
men We think they are getting only
an hour or two of sleep a night, arc
really getting much more; but be-
cause they awake or are awakened
i've or six times during the night
they think they sleep very little in
between. Nothing is so fallacious as
our estimate of how long we have
been asleep. Usually when we awake
feeling so tired that we hope it is
before midnight, it is probably near
1y time to get up. Only too often,
indeed, is is after the time.
Feeling rested is very largely a
matter of how much our wills are
awakened, how firmly we have got
hold of ourselves, and then how in
teresting is the work ahead of us,
and how anxious we are to get up
and get at it, while feeling fatigued
is very much matter. of not wanting
to get up, because the work of COM
plications, and not promising at best,
and has, perhaps. been put off for
three or four days because we do not
care 30 get at it,

Dangerous Winter Disease.

Bronchitis is winter disease
which is said to be responsible for
one-tenth to one-seventh of all ill
ness
1t causes an Inflammation of the
bronchial tubes with the production
of mucus or phle9n. The bronchi
are the tubes which Iead from the
trachea into the lungs. The first part
of the air tube is the nose This
leads into the back of the mouth,
called the pharynx. The next part of
the tube, commonly called the wind
pipe, which conducts air from the
area in which the vocal cords are
though the neck and into the chest
at the root of the lungs. Here the
trachea divides into two bronchi,
one running to each lung.
When this passage becomes in
famed and produces mucus it irri-
tates the throat and causes the pa
tient to cough in order to get rid of
it. Accompanying the cough may be
fever, loss of appetite and diarrhoea.
The infection responsible for these
disorders is caused by germ. In
more than so per cent. of the cases OF
bronchitis the germ responsible is
the same germ that causes common
colds
Other cases of bronchitis are due
to the same germ that causes pneu-
monia.
To prevent acute cases Of bron-
chitis the first rule is to keep away
from all persons known to be suffer
ing with the disease.
Avoid hot, close rooms where the
air is known to be stale and dirty.
If strong enough to stand it take
a cold sponge or a cold air bath
every day Throughout the winter.
If you do catch the disease it can
be cured quickly if the victim goes
to bed and stays there quietly for d
day or two at the first signs of the
attack ,x~.-rv~

THE FATTEST FISH.

When the little fish known to sci
ence as the eulachOn is in good
health and condition, it is the latest
fish in the world. Although oily, ii
is digestible and of excellent flavor
resembling the common smelt In
fact, it is popularity known as the
Columbia River smelt." The eu-
lachon is a native of the Pacific and
runs up the Columbia River in enor-
nous numbers during the annual
spawning season. Each run of fish
spawns only once, after which all
the fish die. The United States Blu
reau of Fisheries belives the eula-
chon should be much more widely
used for food than it is at present.

WHAT'S THE REASON.
Manv Paris People In Poor Health
Without Knowing the Cause.

There are scores of people who
drag out miserable existence with
out realizing the cause of their suf-
fering. Day after day they are
racked with headache and backache
suffer from nervousness, dizziness,
weakness, langour and depression.
Perhaps the kidneys have fallen be
hind in their work of filtering the
blood and that may be the root OF
the trouble. Look to your kidneys,
assist them in their work-give them
the help they need. You can use no
more highly recommended remedy
than Doan's Kidney Pills-endorsed
by people all over the country and
by your neighbors in Paris.
VIM. w. Dudley, 1929 Cypress ST.,
Paris, says: Some years ago,
found it necessary to use a kidney
remedy and as I had read about
Doan's Kidney Pills, used them.
They proved to be satisfactory and
permanently rid me of kidney COM
plant. 1 have good reason to rec
ommend Doan's Kidney Pills and ad
wise their use to anyone troubled
with weak back or lame back or
irregular passages of the kidney Sc
cretions."
