SLEEP REQUIREMENTS
OF CHILDREN.


No child nutrition worker, says the
L. S. Public Health Service, can hope
to get Satisfactory results without in
sisting on enough sleep for her
charges. Besides damaging the nerv-
Gus system, late hourse cause sleep
hunger" and make children nervous
and fidgety. The service commends the
following precepts just issued by the
London County Council School chill
dren aged four years need twelve
hours sleep day; aged five to seven,
IL to IL hours; eight to eleven, 10 to II
hours; and twelve to fourteen, 9 to
10 hours. Children grow mainly while
sleeping or resting, do you want yours
to grow up stunted? Tired children
learn badly and often drift to the bot
tom Of the class, do you want yours
to grow up stupid? When children so
to bet late their sleep is often disturb
ed by dreams and they do not get COM
plete rest, do you want yours to sleep
badly and become nervous? Sufficient
sleep draws a child onward and up
ward in school and in home life. In
sufficient sleep drags 1t backward and
downward; which way do you want
your child to go? Tiresome children
are only tired children; test the truth
Of this. That neighbours child is sent
to bed late is not a good reason for
sending your child to bet late; two
wrongs do not make a right. Going to
bed late is bad habit, which may be
difficult to cure; persevere till you
| succeed in curing il.

TAXATION IN THE
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

Washington, d. c. - That the Re-
publican party made no campaign
pledge or early reduction Of taxes Is
asserted by the Republican Publicity
Assertion in a statement issued re-
Gently. The statement says
"A prominent Democratic organ re-
marks with an attempt at facetioas-
ness that the Republican national ad-
ministration will talk about reducing
taxes but will accomplish nothing
soon in that direction. That paper also
intimates that the Republicans prom
ised reduction of taos. AS a matter Of
fact, neither party pledged tax reduc-
lions. In the Republican platform
adopted at Chicago the section relat-
ing to taxation began as follows:
1.-The burden of taxation imposed
upon the American people is stagger-
ing; but in presenting true state
ment of the situation we must face the
fact that, while the character Of the
taxes can and should be changed, an
early reduction Of the amount Of rev.
enue to be raised is not to be expected.
The next Republican administration
will inherit from its Democratic pred
ecessor a relocating Indebtedness of
over three billion dollars, the prompt
liquidation of which Is demanded by
sound financial considerations.
That platform also set forth that
in addition to the floating indebted
ness of three billions, there Is an early
maturing bond Indebtedness of five
billions AS everybody knows, the an
nual interest burden at the present
time is practically equal to the entire
government expenditures for all pur-
poses prior to the war. The Repub-
lican party deal frankly and honestly
with the voters Of the country by ex-
pressly asserting that there is no hope
of early reduction Of taxes. The DEM
ocratic platform was not quite SO
frank, for, although not promising re-
duction the Democrats did not admit
the impossibility of reduction. They
hoped to gain few votes by leaving
the inference that they might reduce
the tax burden.
"As to the nature of the changes In
taxation, the two parties were IN ac'
cord. The Republicans promised "ta'
laws which do not for tax taws which
do, excessively mulct the consumer OF
needlessly repress enterprise anc
thrift This was aimed at the excess
profits tax which has discouraged en-
terprlse and is charged with increas
ing prices to the extent Of % per cent
The Democratic platform pledged
revision of the tax laws to fit peace
conditions so that the wealth of thu
nation may not b ewithdrawn from
productive enterprise and diverted t.
wasteful or non-productive expendi
ture.' This was apparently a pleds
to repeal the excess profits tax TO
that Is the tax which has been charge
with withdrawing money from pro
, ductive enterprise.
"As indicated by President Hardin
in his address to Congress, it is tn
desire of Republicans to reduce tn
, tax burden If possible, and their Ell

New York. The young man who
gives the best tips to walters in New
York returants nowadays isn't neces-
sarily the careles sspender he might
be taken for. 1t may very well be his
special mark of thrift. Since the cost
Of food scared up and up and still girls
seem to expect to be asked out to dine,
an understanding grew up between
the men who took them and the walt
ers of their special restaurants. The
walters are generally sympathetic
loft 1t doesn't cost them anything.
So now the young man leans back and
says with the air of a millionaire, a
connoisseur, and so forth, What is
particularly good tonight, George?
George responds impressively with
the least expensive thing on the menu.
It's easy then to order it-without
even glancing at the card. And the
good-sized tip represents interest on
the money saved.
Fifth avenues special way Of put
ting on gala attire is to change her
electric light globes from white to
yellow. During the recent visit OF
President Harding, the change was
made, and on other festive occasions.
It really isn't at all productive of
CAV look, and our compilations are
something awful to behold underneath
it But for some reason, somebody in
charge of such things, likes it as an
indication of a celebration. And we
have 1t, in all of its foggy effect,
"The 400" for so long the country's
term for New York society, has been
disclaimed by its social leaders now
adays. -Four hundred, indeed they
exclaim, There are not more than one
hundred of us. Certainly not" OF that
one hundred, they put fifty into the
real backbone of society, the con
seryative" and the other fifty into the
"cafe set" And this in spite of the
fact that the Social Register lists 1000
names.
New York women closely interested

success from the beginning that
money has been given from the Laura

course which aims at a practical but
not materialistic education, Is under
the auspices of an administrative COM

representatives of women in industry
They consider women of 90 to So years
of age the most desirable students, but
