SLEEP AS AID TO LONGEVITY
Long Hours In Bed May Mean Long
Life, But the Question Arises,
Is IL Worth It7

The farmers wife at Market Bos-
worth, England. who. though in per-
feet physical health" has remained in
bed for three years may hold that IL
we all spent more time in bed we
should live much longer. This theory
is borne out by the experience of two
sisters of Brillat-Savarin, who nearly
attained a hundred years. They lived
at country house belonging to the
author of the "Physiologie du Gout,"
which ne used only in September and
October. They spent ten months of
the year in bed, getting up two days
before his arrival, and living normal
life during his stay. On his depart
ure they would say: aGoodby until
next September, Anthelme. We are
going to bed" One Of them died at
the age of ninety-nine, as she was I'm
fishing dinner, her last words being,
''Hurry up with the dessert"
On the other hand, some Swiss doc.
tors say that the amount of sleep
should be regulated by altitude. Toe
much sleep, they maintain, is as harm
full as too much drink. In low-lyine
districts seven hours slumber may be
taken with impunfty, but up in the
mountains five hours is quite enough
These sleep specialists also ban thu
practice Of remaining in bed in thu
morning, half awake. and insist on thu
necessity of arising as soon as sleeI
fails.

At the close of the lecture nearly
twenty people who were interested in
seeing that good Lyceum course is
secured for next year, went to the
platform and signed their names as
guarantee body in the event of any
deficit This class of entertainment
is proving most popular in Richland
and the course this year, as well as
last, came out little to the good

NOW SHORTAGE OF CANDLES
British Food Ministry Seeks Method BY
Which II May Be Enabled TO
Regulate Supplies.

News is coming from many parts
Of the country that the shortage OF
candles is increasing owing to the tact
that many people who did not use them
before are now experimenting their
gas and electric light .rations by their
use. 1t is becoming more clear every
day that some means must be adopted
to insure that householders in rural
districts, where there is no gas or cleo
tricity, have an adequate supply OF
silluminants. Important national indus
tries which cannot well be carried on,
without an adequate candle supply
must also be protected. A scheme for
controlling candle supplies is engaging
the attention of the ministry OF food.
During and since last winter there
has been candle shortage. The oils
and fats branch Of the ministry Of food,
within whose view this matter comes,
have received numerous complaints
from rural councils and individuals OF
the difficulty of getting supplies and OF
retail prices going up by leaps ana
bounds. There is evidence of a new
demand having sprung up within the
| last six weeks, accentuating last win
ter's shortage and making a candle
! famine imminent.-Manche Guard.

HAWK Works Hard for Living.


The hawk is successful fisherman,
and were its task done with the catch

one always flies around until the fish
is dead. This. we are told the In

WATER QUESTION
TO COMMISSION
state Board will Pass Upon Irri-
CATION Problems at Rich
land

AZ the mass meeting of the water
,sars ON the Horn Rapids project held
Saturday night in Anon hall, the
main subject up for discussion was
the rate for excess water recently pub
,;sbed by the local irrigation company.
While . great many seemed to be IN
favor of paying the excess water
charge for the present season in or
der to give the irrigation district dl-
ractors more time in which to act on
+at;np over the system, still others
were opposed to paying any excess
wafer charge. This controversy final
10 terminated in a special investigat-
. ING committee composed of G. D.
Mitchell, James Kaas and A. =. Gran
'lund being appointed who were IN
s+ructed to make a thoro canvas OF
tho situation and call a hearing OF the
public Service Commission to deter
mine whether or not this recently pub,
;shed rate for additional water is ex.
cessiye and to try to bring about some
.olution of the present difficulties.
On motion of William Relton, Sc
conded by several, and carried by
large majority, the irrigation distric
commissioners were instructed to US
every means within their power t
secure the ownership of the irrigation
system with as little delay.-as possible
Il being the opinion of q great man
that in this lies the most practice
solution of the local water problem.

DODGE BROTHERS

The Dodge Brothers exhibit Is one
of the most complete in the show, in
cluding the following commercial cars:
One standard panel front, one standard
screen side truck. one chassis fitted with
station wagon body, one commercial
chassis fitted with suburban body, one
long wheeltase commercial chassis fitted
with hearse body, one long wheelbase
commercial chassis fitted with dead-WAg-
on body; the same chassis fitted with
ambulance body and another fitted with
one and one-half ton Graham
truck-building unit. Their commercial
cars are built on the same chassis as
their passenger cars, except that the
frame is REINFORCED has heavier
springs, 33 by 4-inch tires and has the
steering post set at a slightly higher
angle. The commercial car has half-ton
load capacity with exceptionally gener-
Gus carrying space for light multi-mer-
Chandise in either panel or express body
types. This chassis Is particularly
adaptable to a wide range of special
body equipments, as evidenced by their
exhibit The reputation of Dodge Broth
trs as builders Of high-class, dependable
passengers cars Is duplicated in these
light, substantial and good-looking bust
ness cars. The chassis as furnished by
Dodge Brothers is complete. ready to
run without the body. as the factory
does not manufacture nor mount special
body equipments, but assists dealers to
obtain equipments for customers.
Dodge trucks are handled here by the
Thornton- Fuller Automobile Company,

NASH

Nash trucks are made by the same
manufacturers as Nash passenger cars
in the country They are built in one
and two ton caracity. and are of the rear
drive type. but their leading model is
the two-ton Nash Quad, which drives,
and. is widely known for economical
service under unusually severe hauling
conditions in this country and twenty
three foreign countries. The rear-drve
trucks are virtually identical in de-
sign except that the two-ton model is
stronger and heavier in construction
They are both built unusually strong
throughout with heavy channel frames
virtually straight from end to end,
with no weakening angles. Excess weight
is eliminated without sacrificing strength.

CLYDESDALE

Clydesdale trucks are made in six
models, namely: five-ton. three and a
half ton, two and half ton, two ton
and one and a half ton, the latter ca
pacity in two models. They are ex-
hibiting classes of the one and half
ton model "32" and the two and half
ton, three and half ton, with closed
cab, and the FIVE ton. All Clydesdale
models are equipped with the automatic
controller. or "the driver under the
hood" This is a device found exclu-
sively on Clydesdale trucks. 1t is claimed
to make any driver an expert. 1t au-
tomatically controls the operation of the
motor, opening the throttle when the
trucks strike mud. snow, an upgrade. or
when the clutch is thrown in. accelerat-
ing the motor smoothly and evenly to
take care of the increased pull. keeping
the truck moving at II constant rate
of speed, just as the experienced driver
would do If he had nothing to do but
watch the motor. 1t is claimed to pro-
tect every moving part of the truck
from unnecessary wear and strains,
which sudden accelerating or careless
driving causes. 1t is ella lined to save
gas. motor parts, bearings, universals,
rear axles and tires. This is only one
of number of important improvements
found on Clydesdale trucks.

F'WD

The FWD is another four wheel-drve
truck, a principle which is accomplished
with simplicity and freedom from COM
plication. From the center differential
one drive shaft extends to the front
axle and one to the rear, both axles
being of the full floating type and con-
structed on approved engineering prac-
tice. The rear axle is virtually the
same as standard axles used on other
high-grade trucks. The front axle is
very similar TO the rear, except that it is
provided with steering joints of the ball
and socket type and of hollow construc-
ton, allowing the axle shaft to pass
through at the center. The axle shaft Is
fitted with universal joints which per-
NIT full power to be delivered through
the wheels, at whatever angle they may
be turned. The center differential is an
exclusive feature of the F'WD truck,
insuring an equal distribution of power
to. the front wheels and rear axies at
all times, thereby reducing the strain on
all the driving members This differ
entail is provided with locking device
to- be used in emergencies. The trans
mission is of the individual clutch type
with all gears constantly in mesh. in
suring strength and durability. 1t is
made as three-ton chassis.

DORRIS

The Doris truck is manufactured by
the same concern that makes the Doris
passenger car, one of the Oldest auto
mobile makers In the country They so
standardized their principles at the
start that no fundamental changes have
been made. with the exception of four
speed transmission instead of three,
and the motor has perfected valve in
head, five-bearing crank shaft and a
five-bearing cam shaft. instead Of three
as i'm past years. They are also using a
detachable. head, eliminating valve
cages. The radiator has steel castings to
protect the side and front radiator
guard They attribute much of their
success to the perfected valve-in-head
motor, built fundamentally the same as
in the first Doris motor, yet refined
through experience. Some of their lead
ing features are: Full pressure, lubri-
eating system. a positive goyernor-bu
unit with the motor adjustable and seal
able. isuperheated manifold, three points
suspension motor, flexible pressed steel
frame and Timken axles Pnd bearings.
