WHY DROWSINESS is A
SYMPTOM OF DISEASE

There are various forms Of drowsi-
ness; some may be normal and others
abnormal. In fact, many people do
not know what drowsiness is--they
pass almost instantly from wakeful-
ness into sleep; others always become
drowsy at bedtime-they begin to
yawn and find it growing hard to
fix their attention on anything. When
the condition is natural it is Of no
consequence.
When Nature calls for sleep she
sho%l be obeyed. Do not combat
such drowsiness, for that causes
you to fatigue yourself unnecessari-
ly, and it may in time turn you from
a good sleeper into poor one.
Drowsiness is sometimes an indica-
ton of disease, and is often symp-
tom of a poisoned system. When
therefore a person begins to show UNI
usual and inexplicable drowsiness ne
ought to find out what the cause is.
1t may be that malaria, or indiges-
ton, or soIe form Of kidney disease,
lis poisoning the blood. A diminished
blood stream can also produce SOM
nolence, as in the case of the aged
who often fall into a succession of
little maps all day LONG, because the
amount of blood that circulates
through the brain is SO small that
there is no constant condition Of
cerebral anaemia.
The treatment of drowsiness must
be determined by the cause. Old peo-
pie should be permitted to browse
freely Young people who are
anaemic should try to improve their
blood by tonics and diet, and cult
vate habit Of living and sleeping
in the fresh air.

Where Is Berea?

Berea used to be in the
woods, but our struggling rail
road has been made a part OF
the great through line Of the
Louisville & Nashville running
from Cincinnati to Knoxville,
Atlanta and Florida. People
from the Virginias come to us
over the Chesapeake and Ohio
to Winchester. And the Rail
road Company has just given us
a new railway station which is
as perfect as a station can be
made and cost some $4,000.

Berea's Student Army Training
Our Salute to Lieutenant Campbell

Uncle Sam is doing a new and
big thing in fixing up 10 make a lot
Of selected colleges into temporary
West Points. Naturally, there has
been some uncertainty and delay.
but the work will actually begin by
October first.
Final arrangements are these:
First, all able-bodied men Of col
lege rank, ~ years old, will be
enlisted in the S.A.TC., and have
the uniform, support and pay Of
soldiers while continuing college
courses. These college courses will
be changed by putting in some mill
tary work.
Second, men will be accepted as
Of college rank if they have hal
as many as i3 units of school work
above the eighth grade. A unit
means one study pursued for a year,
and four units constitute a years
work. Some vocational subjects like
telegraphy may count for a unit.
So may teaching on a flrst-class GER
tiilcate.
This does not mean that man
finishes prep. work on these units.
The college may condition him,
The citizen., 1918-09-19

and require more TO be made up be-
fore he graduates.
These requirements are less than
Berea has made in past years, but
during the war, Berea will admit
students on these terms as fixed by
the Government.
Third, the Government does this
in order TO secure men fitted for
officers, and for scientific and edu-
cational work. It will withdraw the
men from college as need may arise,
but expects they will remain in
school at least nine months.
Fourth, able-bodied men, whether
iS or not. who are at Berea in other
departments than the College, will
have the advantage of military
drill, but not the soldiers pay and
support.
Fifth, a man who has already been
called TO the cOlors must answer the
call Of his local board, but may then
apply for a transfer 10 the Berel
College Army Training Corps, if he
has the i3 units.
Sixth. Lieutenant Campbell has
been detailed for work at Berea, and
will arrive this week. Hurrah

new buildings. Its own athletic
field requires further work before
it will be ready for use, but as the
Institution has other fields, every
body is going to have play-time as
well as study.
Those who are late will suffer
some disadvantage, but there will
still be opportunity for new stu
dents until the first of October.
