WASHINGTON. March l7.-At >
o'clock in the morning OF Sunday.
March 81. time when most we'll
regulated people will DO fast asleep.
Il piece of Federal legislation will GO
into effect which will change the habits
and daily routine OF every man. woman
and child in the United States. The
change will be sudden but once it has
been made not one person in 10000
will feel it after the first twenty-four
hours have passed.
At that hour on that day Il man.
date OF the Federal government will
require the advancing of every clock
in the country just one hour. OF
course. most folks will do this adj
vancing before they go to bed at
night. They are not called upon to
stay awake until o'clock or get up
at that hour in order to comply with
The letter OF the law. But some time
between the end of the day OF March
so and the beginning of the day OF
March 81. the time must be advanced.
Nothing could be moro simple than
the carrying out OF this rather novel
Idea. although 1t was shown by the
debates In the House and Senate that
much misunderstanding existed rs to
what tho government expects Here is
;hc way il works. When bedtime
comes on the night OF March 60 every
person in the country who owns Il
clock or a watch simply moves the
hands OF it forward one hour. If this
operation takes place at II in the even
ing. the clock should be set at IL. And
Of course, this means that the whole
family must arise in the morning By
the new time. losing thereby one
hours sleep, unless this is made up by
retiring an hour ahead of the usual
bedtime

Perhaps you have never thought Of
it, but this disorder is due to lack OF
moisture in the residual matter OF the
food. If you will drink an abundance
of water, eat raw fruits and take lots
Of outdoor exercise, you may be able
eventually to overcome it entirely. In
