ments and the amount of sleep and
nourishment the patients get.
The normal pulse rate is $50
beats per minute for adults; more
rapid for children. Pulse can best be
felt on front of arm just above the
wrist on the thumb side.
The normal temperature is about
90 IL degrees. In taking the tenn
perature place thermometer under
patients tongue and have the lips

mometer down before it is used. AT

Avoid BroodIng.

1t is Salutary thing to regret past
errors and sincerely resolve not to fall
into them again, but 1t is foolish and
most dangerous thing to brood over
mistakes we have made, sins we have
committed. Brooding cannot possibly
lead to healthy-minded action. Its
tendency, rather is to develop q state
of mind that may pass over into in
sanity. Yet many people indulge In
this dangerous luxury of brooding. Par
ticularly is this likely to be the case
with people to whom life has not been
as kind as 1t might have been.

Daylight Saving Saved

DY the narrowest sort Of a House margin.
u daylight saving itself has been saved.
President Wilson having vetoed the agricul-
tura appropriation bill, to which ii was at
tached as rider. the foes Of this boon to
urban mankind failed by eigh, votes to pass
it his head. Their last ounce OF
strength was mustered and il is unlikely that
another effort 70 repeal the law will be made
for several years.
President Wilson has earned the gratitude
of millions OF his fellowcountrymen by his
courage in vetoing the bill cont aiming the
repeal. II required courage the part OF
the President to delay the application Of
the whole measure in order TO save the day
light law, but when he is convinced chat he
is right on any proposition, Woodrow Wilson
never hesitates to assume the consequences
involved in acting.
There are many interests which would pre-
fer 10 go back TO the old scheme of keeping
the time-to the sun and the rooster, as it
has been described--but il is evident that.
taken sll in all only an insignificant minority
of the American people entertain that feel
Ing about the matter. The sentiment which
moved Congress to repeal the la was largely
artificial The farmers in many sections
we're sincere in their demand that the old
order be restored. and few laborng organi-
cations also. but the campaign which swept
Congress OFF it's feet was largely one of in
fation.
The saving OF daylight has been tried now
for the better part of TWO summers. Mil
lions of people have been benefited by it, The
extra hour Of leisure which has been vouch-
safed TO the urban populations particularly
has been one of the greatest of benefits. The
economic value Of the new scheme has inn
pressed the President. He informed Congress
that the testimony Of the best qualified indus
triaIlsts in the country was conclusive as
TO the saving Of fuel, light and other re-
sources that it would be an inexcusable
blunder TO return to the basis of wasteful-
ness tina, existed before the war.
Daylight saving is practced in practically
all European countries. a few had expert
mented with it before the war. but most all
OF them resorted to it after the war started
as matter of national economy and general
welfare. Not Of those countries has
gwen thought to the repeal OF the day
light saving law. The mere proposal OF re-
pea would create storm Of protest. The
President learned all this at first hand while
IN Europe. and he found that il would be
coWardly OF him TO give his approval TO the
repeal in this country merely because his
veto or the agricultural appropriation hill
would cause Inconvenience 10 those who
await The money carried in that measure

course, they never would permit willingly.
This angle to the distribution plan they would
not have talked publicly, but ii is not con-
ceivable they do not know that plans already
drawn by the Department of Public Works
contemplate an expenditure OF funds far in
excess of one-quarter of the total i'll Madison
Ward and of this sum the major portion
would go to the Improvement of the South
Side streets. where it is so sorely needed.
But the South Side wants and demaHds only
its equal share. and so seeks to enforce
maximum limit to what each ward shall re-
ceive. Its voluntary sacrifice of the excess
that is called for under the general improve
ment plan. contemplated in the charter, is
so unusual as to constitute happy precedent
in Richmond's ward politics.
