called. usually begins with chill fol-

general feeling Of weakness and de-
preston. The temperature Is from 100
to 1o4, and the fever usually lasts from
three to five days. The germs attack

SLEEP SEEN AS HANDICAP
Imperative Demand OF Nature the
Cause Of NonaeeompIishn,ent Of
Many Natural Ambitions.

One of the correspondents at the
French front sends a vivid descrip-
ton of the gallant attempts of the
British troops to hold back the Ger
mans at the height of the big drive
in spite of their overpowering need
of sleep, remarks the Providence
Journal. Between the demands made
upon them they slept anywhere, even
while leaning upon the parapets of
trenches. They charged half asleep.
They fought with grim resolution
against nature as well as against the
Germans.
Every man knows the distress of
keeping at the routine duties of life
in spite of lack of sleep. There comes
times to all of us when there are du.
ties that must be done, no matter
how much we require rest. Up to a
certain point the performance Of
these duties is tolerable. Then Ma.
ture asserts herself and we must
leave our task and our responsibility
to somebody else.
Sleep interferes with the accom-.
plishment not only of individual la.
bors but of natural ambitions also
1t might be instructive to discover
what great aims have been unat.
tanned in history by reason of this
strange human handicap. An aim
unattained by one side in war means,
of course, a corresponding advantage
to the other side. Ifgoals have been
sacrificed to sleep, so sleep must be
credited with the rescue of armies
and causes from perilous situations.

BARNUM & BAILEY
CIRCUS COMING
Greatest Show On Earth VIII Soon

Greatest Show On Earth VIII Soon
Exhibit in this Vicinity.
Once again the glad tidings are
being spread broadcast telling of the
coming Of Barnum & Bailcy's Circus.
The greatest show on Earth, it is an
nounccd, will positively be exhibited
within easy travelling distance this
season and, as usual, a large per-
ccntage Of the population will declare
a holiday to visit the show.
The big circus win EXHIBIT in
Hope, Ark, on Nov. l.
IL Is promised that nothing to COM
pare with the present Barnum and
Bailey performance has ever before
been seen under canvas. New and
novel features have been imported
from abroad and a program of events,
thrilling, educational and screening
ly funny, will occupy every instant in
three rings, four stages, the riggings
above and the hippodrome surround
ing for more than three hours.
There is new and gorgeous pa
gcant entitled aladdin and His Won
dcrful Lamp" in which nearly 1.4OO
persons and one thousand animals ap-
pear in magnificent costumes rivaling
the dress of the people of the famous
ARABIAN Nights story. This will
be followed by a host of acts in all
parts of the great enclosure. There
will be sixty clowns, a greatly in
creased menagerie of wild and un-
tanned animals, four great herds of
elephants, several caravans of camels
and many recently born baby animals.
The free parade, which will start
from the circus lot at 10 o'clock on
the morning of circus day, is entire
ly different from anything of the kind
ever shown before. It will be three
miles in length and there will be bands
on foot, on horseback, and riding on
top of wagons of red and gold. There
will be six bands in all and they will
be assisted by three steam caliopes
and an electric piano.
With the largest tent in the his
tory Of all circuses, the Barnum &
Bailey circus promises this season to
make good again its boast that it is
the Greatest Show on Earth. Five
