ADVISED 5000 WAYS
 OF INDUCING SLEEP

Chicago, July 16.-The manner in which man will attempt to assist his fellow creature, for financial return or otherwise, is shown in the number of replies received as the result of an article published a year ago which er- roneously stated that Benjamin Hyde, a retired contractor, would give $1.- 900 to any one who could tell him how to obtain sleep without the use of medicines.
 The article misquoted MT. Hyde, who is suffering from paralysis agi- tations and more than 5000 letters were written giving varied lines of advice as to how to sleep.
 MT. Hyde has recently made another offer of .$2,000 but in order to avoid answers from irresponsible persons ho has confined the offer of the reward to physicians of good standing" His condition is that the cure permanent ly free him from tremors and mus cular contractions and enable him to sit in chair without having pains in his back.

 Dr. Weber is recognized as one of the most distinguished plant breeders in the United States. He was form erly director of the California experi- ment station and for long time was connected with the United States de- partment of agriculture.
 Dr. Webber's speech will be one ot the many attraction to be offered rural folks of Arkansas who attend the short course. Dean Knapp of the college of agriculture is arranging ar exceedingly interesting program this year and promises something good for every member of the farm family. A reduction of passenger rates to one and a half fare for the round trip has been granted by railroads to those who attend the short courses.

DR, BRADLEY TELLS
 OF CLINICS WORK FOR HEALTH NURSE HERE Clinic Examined 130 Children and Re- suits Summarized-Badl Need Health Nurse.

From her examination of 13O chil- dren and as extended a study of the | local situation as possible, Dr. Fran ces Sage Bradley, in charge of the Child Welfare Special, is convinced that conditions here require pub lie health nurse, perhaps more so than in any other place she has vis- Ii ited on her work for the federal de- partment of labor. Dr. Bradley has emphasized the need of health nurse at every opportunity, and IS hopeful that the visit of the clinic will do much to create interest ln this phase of community service.
 The special will be moved tomor- row to Vilonia for a stay of two days, at the conclusion of which it will be moved to Guy.
 Owners of the Grand and Ideal theatres will tonight show pubic health films as follow up to the clinic. At the Ideal, the one reel picture will be "Our Children,' and at the Grand, feature film by the United States public health service, "An Equal Chance" will be shown. Both films will be exhibited in connection with the regular programs at these thea tres.
 The following summary of the
The log cabin Democrat., 1921-07-16

clinics work here was prepared by Mrs. P. F. Cleaver, chairman of the publicity committee for the special:
 During Dr. Bradley's stay here with the Child Welfare Special, she has examined 130 children. Of this number IS were well nourished and 52 poorly nourished-10 per cent be- low the normal American child. This reckoning was in proportion of weight to height, regardless of the age of the child.
 Among others, the clinic revealed the following: Fifty children showed defective teeth; A showed enlargcc glands: 36 showed defective bones (weak ankles, projecting scapulae, fallen arches, etc.); 30 defective skin different eruptions, etc.); 2o had defective throat, enlarged or bad tonsils and adenoids; 12 had de- fective eyes (many will respond to slight corrective treatment); five had defective ears, and 25 were defective in one or more other points not listed above Summarized, 26 showed no defects, 23 had one defect, 32 had two defects, 21 had three defects, IA had four defects, 12 had five defects, two had six defects.
 The class of children examined was not typical of Conway, as most of them were from the homes of preachers, bankers, teachers, etc, and the class most needing attention were, unfortunately, not reached. Dr. Bradley noted lack of uniformity, community spirit and interest be- tween the east and west sides of town and feels that had we a public nurse, who would not represent any one community, faction, church or association, the gap could be more easily drawn together.
 Dr. Bradley makes three construc- tive suggestions: CD Community nurse for the county; cooperation in our town, and a county center. A good nurse could be secured for S1,S0O, plus the cost and upkeep ot Ford car. CD The community spirit for Conway, so that we might get in touch with those not so well able to keep themselves as they might wish. (3) The county center would require a central point for free clinic, where parents could take their children for examination as we'll as treatment Dr. Bradley laid special stress on periodical physical examination of children, thus fore stalling many preventable defects. Examination and correction of defects in children of pre-school age is a good investment for community, as child in proper physical condition is apt to proceed normally in it's school work, where another child, beginning school with one or more physical de- fects, is handicapped. Then, too, the county and state is bearing an extra, unnecessary burden where a defect
The log cabin Democrat., 1921-07-16

i've child is forced to spend from two to three years in the same grade. Much of this handicap might be eli minated by the county center and the supervision which could be secured from a competent county nurse.
 Dr. Bradley's criticisms were not all adverse to our community She was very enthusiastic over our ma larial record. So far, our malarial record is the best of any Arkansas community in which she has visited, and while she gave much credit to our energetic mayor, she said the community was bound to be doing their part also in helping in mosquito eradication, as the results were so gratifying. The doctor also made very favorable comment on our birth registration. Out of the 130 chil- dren examined 103 had been recorded, three had not been recorded and "A parents could not remember. She de- clared our physicians very progress sive in registering and this action on their part will help lift Arkansas to a grade eligible for admission to the birth registration area. Dr. Gar
 rison, of the state board of health, is very anxious to have the birth and death records proved up, so that Ar kansas may be in this area, and she knew he would be very gratitied to find these records kept so well in this county. If all other counties were doing as well as ours in this regis tration, Arkansas would very soon be a member of this area

DURABILITY OF ROADS VARY
Classification Of Passenger and Freight
Highways 10 Predicted by
Chairman Diehl.

Freight roads and passenger r0a0S
are probabilities Of the comparative
" near future In %congested sections
Of the country, according to Chairman
George G. Diehl Of the A. A. A. good
roads board, who has sent a commune
cation to this effect to the office OF
the chief Of engineers Of the War de-
partment. Mr.. Diehl thus comments
on the up-to-date highways problem:
"There will never be q time when
all roads are of equal durability and
carrying capacity. Highways and
railroads are analogous. In that they
r both designed to carry traffic, and
general rules which have been devel-
oped through scientific management
Of railroads apply as well almost in
variably to highways. The heaviest
locomotives and rolling stock are car
ried on roads like the New York Cen
trail and Pennsylvania and Union Pa
cifc. Their use over lighter con-
structed railroads would ruin the
roads In a comparatively brief period.
'There must come a classification
Of highways. Over class l the heav-
lest mOtortrucks and trailers would
be permitted; each truck should have
large figures conspicuously placed on
the sides to indicate the total weight
that 1t was permitted to carry; oper-
ators and owner Of trucks should be
prosecuted for using the heaviest
trucks On roads designed for lighter
traffic. It would be comparatively
simple to enforce such provisions, as
there seems to be no defense Of the
proposition permitting one or two
heavy trucks to ruin an Investment
Of many thousand dollars OF the
lighter constructed highways.
AT the road intersection the high
way capacity could be indicated, as
the highway department should, I be
lieve, have a traffic department under
a chief traffic engineer, having to do.

nance but merely with the control OF
