Sleep Requirements of Children.

olEGP -
No child nutrition worker, says the
United States public health service,
can hope to get satisfactory results
without insisting on enough sleep Tor
her charges. Besides damaging the ner-
yous system late hours cause sleep
hunger" and make children nervous
and tidgety The serV e eommends the
following preeepts just issued by the
London county council: School chill
dren aged four years neef IL hours
of sleep day; aged Ave to seven, II
TO IL hours; eight TO IL, 10 to III, and
IL TO Id, nine to 10 hours. Children
grow mainly while sleeping or resting,
do YOU want yours TO grow up stupid
edg Tired children learn badly and
often drift to the bottom of the class,
do you wont yours to grow up stupid
When children 60 to bed late their
sleep is often disturbed by dreams and
they do not get complete rest, do you
want yours to sleep badly and become
nervousY Sufficient sleep draws child
onward and upward in school and in
home life; insufficient sleep drags IT
backward and downward; which way
do you want your child to go' Tire
some children are often only tired chill
dren; test the truth of this. That
neighbours child is sent to bed late Is
not a good reason for sending your
child TO bed 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 cur
ing il.

That action of two prominent It'll
giants in Washington county court, one
of whom is an attorney, in settling
their differences out of court is an ex-
ample fgood procedure for the lit
gants, or possible litigants, in other
cases to follow on the present
docket or succeeding dockets. Very
often the verdict of a jury is com
promise; and if the claims of the
litigants are not too widely separated
the differences can perhaps be set
tied by compromise without resort to
the employment of jury. It's worth
trying.

BANK OF MASON ROBBED

The Bank of Mason, Of which
w. T. Williamson is cashier, was
robbed Of between $4,000 and
$4,000 in Liberty bonds and war

The robbers gained entrance to
the bank through a window and
used an actelyne torch in burning
the lock off the doors, of the safe
deposit vault. The boxes in the
vault were emptied and their
contents carried off Until a list
of the yaluables can be obtained,
it is impossible to tell just what
the loss will be, though it is
known that the boxes contained
Liberty bonds, war savings stamps
and other valuable papers. One
Of the boxes robbed belonged to
the Mason postoffice. The main
safe and vault were not opened,
There is no clue as to the iden-
tity Of the robbers, except that a
negro saw a large touring car in
Mason about 8 O'Clock Thursday
morning and a touring car of like
description was seen passing
through Braden about the same
hour going toward Memphis, It
is thought that the robbery oc-

HE'LL DECIDE If
BEER IS MEDICINE

The problem Of "beer as medicine"
will be left to the next commissioner
of internal revenue, it was made
plain in Washington Tuesday.
There were reports that this COM
missioner will be Walter F. Brown,
of Toledo, although no confirmation
was Forthcoming from the White
House. 1t was learned, however,
that Brown is to be given respon-
sible job. If Brown is appointed, it
will be up to him to decide whether
to ask for review of the rulings of
former Attorney General Palmer
that beer may be prescribed as
medicine in practically unlimited
quantities. William M. Williams,
present commissioner, has let it be
known that he has no intention Of
asking such a review.
