EXTEND AIR MAIL SERVICE.
AeropIsnes Will Deliver Mail Between
Atlantic and Pacific Coasts.


insufficient railroad equipment Is
causing the post office department to
plan an extension of the aeroplans
mail service. Between Cleveland, o.,
and Chicago, Ill.,, the asroplanos al
ready have relieved congestion on the
railroads to the extent of one distri-
buting car daily each way at an esti-
mated annual saving Of $4,000. About
16. 900 letters are carried on each trip
by an aeroplene in this service.
Delivery Of mail between the Allan
tic and Pacific coaCts probably will be
shortened by from 16 to "a hours in
the autumn, when asroplane mail
service will be started to Omaha, Ne
braska, and st. Louis, Mo. Even the
short link between Cleveland and Chi
cago has saved 16 hours between Pa
cific coast points and Boston, Mass,
and other New England cities. The
aeyoplanes fly at almost double the
speed Of the steam trains.
Experiments are being carried out
whereby aeroplanes will be able to
drop and pick up sacks Of mail while
in flight. It is believed to be possible
for the aeroplanes now used to come
close enough to earth to snatch sacks
from specially designed apparatus.
When the department puts into opera
ton the large multi-motored aero
planes now being designed 1t Ii pro-
posed that they take mail from the
roofs of buildings. Thus, on the New
York Washington route, both Phtla-
delphia and Baltimore would b. served
at a saving Of thirty minutes now re-
ouired for stops at these cities.

MEDICINE IN SLEEP.
Take in Large Regular Doses it Gives
Health and Long Life.

Health and Long Life.
Young persons often say: 81 don't
need much sleep; can be up late every
night and never feel it." 1t is surpris-
| ing how much abuse of that sort
Mother nature will stand. But payday
| finally comes.
It is a good deal like the case of the
| man who starts out with money in the
bank left him by his father. He spends
freely without thinking whether he is
spending more than his income. Then
one fine day he wakes up to discover
| that he has been paying out more than
| has been coming in, and his bank bal
| ance is gone.
Medical science has arrived at two
important conclusions. One is that
very much ill-health is caused by ia
| tigue, the other that rest is one of the
most important Of remedies.
1t is common experience that we
catch cold more readily when we are
| fatigued SO with other germ diseases.
The bacteria are on the watch ready
to make an attack whenever the resis-
tance of the body is lowered. One of
the common ways by which the resis-
tance is lowered is by fatigue.
| Fatigue plays its part in so simple n
matter as walking. The scarcely per-
ceptible pause between steps gives
enough rest for person to walk long
time at his natural gait. If he hurries
a trifie he loses this rest and soon gets
winded A person uses about the same
amount of energy IN going upstairs
whether he walks or runs. But the
| lack of rest in running upstairs makes
the exercise from it far more Violent.
| \ boat crew in order to be successful
is supposed to rest between strokes.
The crew that gets in hurry wears
itself out.
When we become tired all sorts of
things may happen. Sometimes we
may have a sense of dizziness or a
nausea. In that case the stomach is
the weak point and the symptoms are
from WEAKNESS Of that organ. The
eyesight of some persons is affected by
fatigue, and they think they are going
blind.
Occasionally our symptoms convince
us we are losing our minds. Every per-
son is familiar with the little lapses
that are so annoying-the inability TO
remember n name soon after it has
been heard, the failure to retain the
sense of a page just read, the sense
OF being far away, Of general unreal
ity. All of them are evidence Of fa-
tigue.
One of the curious things about get
ting tired is that often we are not con-
scious of it at the time, or even the
next day. People who work long hours
on Saturday often do not feel the eff
fects until Monday Or Tuesday.
There are very few diseases that are
helped by drugs. Not more than six
or eight out of one hundred and fifty
But poor health pretty generally is inn
proved by rest. Sleep Of course, is the
great rest agency. Most people neet
; at least eight hours; more rather thar
less. Nobody need worry about sleep
ing too much.
Often the great trouble with sicl
people is that they go to the doctor
expecting him to give them something
to make them we'll while they keep VI

House July 16 for the purpose of dis
nnssine law enforcement

l
cussing law enforcement.
In a letter received by Sheriff Quinn,
the governor calls attention to the
violations of the prohibition law and
says that ut appears too, that the jail
population. of the state is increasing
and that the homicide record is dis
tressingly large" The governor also
calls attention to the fact that after
July l the state will have a new situ-
alton to face in regard to prohibition.
The letter of the governor to the
sheriffs and solicitors is as follows:
"Complaints have come to me from
various sections of the state, indicating
that the prohibition law is being more
or less generally violated. 1t appears
too, that the Jail population of the
state, is increasing. and that the hon.
icide record is distressingly large.
IN view of the facts stated, and OF
the additional fact that after July 1
We shall have a new situation in re-
gard to prohibition, am asking all the
sheriffs, the solicitors and all the fore
men of grand juries in South Carolina
to meet with me in the hall OF the
house of representatives, Columbia, at
noon on July 16 for the purpose Oh
discussing law enforcement.
"As a citizen and as chief executive,
I am intensely interested in the up
holding of law, hence 1 am calling upon
you. as the chief executive officer In
YOUR county. to meet with me that we
may effect some plan for mutual CO.
operation, l am convinced that 1t is
necessary for us to arouse public opln-
ion in order that we may have the
most effective possible enforcement OF
our laws, for as you well know, laws
and their enforcement are but ex-
pressions of the public's will. 1t seems
to me that a meeting of the sherlns
the foremen of the grand juries. the
solicitors and certain others directly in
terested will result in much good. We
can, by working together, create pub
lie sentiment that will hold up the law
breaker as an enemy to society. 1t is
also necessary for the state and county
authorities and for the authorities OF
the several counties to cooperate. lso-
lated effort, while laudable, is not so
effective as a general effort Should
we all have a common purpose, then
each can inculcate in his community
a wholesome sentiment that will result
in absolute vindication Of the laws.
"I hope you will be able to attend this
conference. Please notify the foreman
of your grand jury of the meeting and
urge him, and any others you care to
designate, to be present. The states
welfare depends upon the security and
happiness of it's individual citizens,
and the security and happiness of its
citizens depend upon the enforcement
Of law. Your task is not an easy one,
but you can make it much easier, and
make the results of your efforts far
more satisfactory, if you can effect a
general demand among your constitu-
ents for the eradication Of the men
who strike at the very roots OF our
social system by defying the laws we
have made.
II shall be glad to have any sugges-
tions you care to make, either in writ
ing before the conference or verbally
during the meeting"
