MAN AND BEAST NEED SLEEP
How Wild Animals Are Tanned BY
Being Kept Awake.

A person without sleep for nine days
will die. Sufferers from insomnia
sometimes maintain that they have
gone for weeks without sleeping, while
1t has been proved that they actually
sleep without being aware of it. At
a certain point. sleep Is inevitable, no
matter what the bodily condition, the
alternative being death.
A method of tanning wild elephants
is said to be that of depriving the ami
mails of sleep when first caught. In a
few days they become practically splr-
itless and harmless. The brain of the
elephant Is held to be more highly de-
veloped than that of any other wild
animal; but, of course. as compared
with human being, can be easily
fatigued by new impressions and so
made dependent on sleep.
The wild elephant in his native jun
gle Is said to sleep very little-a fur
Their point Of the theory of the uni
versal ratio Of sleep to intelligence.

MUST USE LESS SUGAR;
ALLIED NEEDS GROW
Americans Asked to Use No More Than
Two Pounds Per Person
Per Month.
Shortage May Last Until Beginning of 1919,
When New Sugar Crop Arrives.

The sugar supplies throughout the
country, In homes, stores, factories and
bakeries. are at low ebb; the produc-
tion from the American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been disap-
pointing; the yield In Porto Rico has
likewise been smaller than anticipat-
ed, and the inability Of the United
States and the ALLIES to secure sugar
from Java and other distant sources
on account Of the Imperative call for
ships for the movement Of troops and
their supplies has materially reduced
the supply from such quarters. Added
to this already difficult situation. the
quantity needed by the Army and
Navy greatly exceeds earlier esti-
mates; we must send large amount
to France and Italy to take the place
Of the great volume lost through the
German and Austrian invasIons, dur
ing which much beet land was over
run and many factories destroyed; we
have to supply certain quantities to
neutral nations under agreements; and
finally over fifty million pounds were
lost recently through submarine sInk-
lnos of our Atlantic coast.
