SLEEPiNEsS AFTER MEALS.
II lndieatss Something Wrong With the
Digestive System.

II indicates Something Wrong With the
Digestive System.
A condition Of drowsiness, which
may become an irresistilte desire to,
take a usp shortly after eating. Is
usually q very accurate indication that
something is wrong With the digestive
apparatus. Usually this form OF indi-
gestion is chronic in character. and ap-
~parent1y there is no other evidence that
1t exists, or at least such evidence
would not be detected by ordinary OBJ
servation.
In such cases the desire to take a nap
comes on suddenly, but the nap is a
very short one. ordinarily not more
than fifteen minutes. Sometimes the
desire for these indigestion maps"
comes on at other periods than those
Immediately following meals, but in
such cases this desire comes regularly
at certain periods Of the day. The
cause, however, Is the same as in cases
where drowsiness comes on immediate
~ after the meal, the difference in time
being simply the difference In the in
terval required for the food to reach
the portion Of the intestinal tract that
IL not working properly.
Occasional drowsiness following an
unusually hearty meal should not be
confused with the type Of periodic de-
sire for a short nap referred to here.
Such drowsiness Indicates simply that
the digestive apparatus is temporarily
overworked and may be in a perfectly
healthy condition. This sort Of drowsi-
ness, If INDUCED, usually persists for
several lsurs. whereas the maps caused
by indigestion are always Of short du-
ration.-Exchange.

One Hundred a Day Flock to New
York Tempting Fate.
One hundred women a day come ca
reer seeking in New York city. This is
the figure furnished by Director c. B.
Barns Of the state bureau of employ
ment. He bases his estimate upon the
number Of women handled daily by
the Travellers Aid, the number regis
tered at hotels and those registered by
the state bureau. and other employ
ment agencies.
One hundred women a day, $1,000 q
year. A fraction over four.every hour;
approximately n every time the min
ute hand crosses the fifteen minute
mark.
Mr.. Barns estimates that a large per-
centage of career seekers come from up
state and towns about New York and
New Jersey. Probably so per cent, he
says, come from western states. The
smallest portion Of the number comes
from the south. Some succeed; more
fail. Yet always others come, answer
ing the call Of the minute hand as it

Statistics are impersonal. They say
nothing of who the women are nor why
they come nor what they find instead
Of what they expect. They don't say
there's tragedy in a head shake. And

war vessels, represents 10 per cent
of the worlds merchant marine as it
existed on August 1, 1914,S according

The statistics recorded the de-
struction of 1878 vessels of 4,811 900
gross tons, of which more than half
were owned by Great Britain. The
next heaviest sufferer has been Nor
way, with France third, Italy fourth

have been about rs per cent of the
total and Teutonic 20 per cent.
The figures list 202 vessels of ap-
proximately 47O,460 gross tonnage as
