Early Egyptian Customs.

The earliest race of Egyptians lived fin the Nile valley about 4000-370O B. C. Men have found their ceme- teries in numbers, although most traces of their villages and their art have disappeared. In that era mum mics had not vt come into fashion although some idea of a hereafter was theirs. as it is every primitive peo ple's.
 Their earliest burials are reminis. cent of Indian finds in our own coun. try. The dead were laid in con tracted position in the grave with pot. tery and stone vessels containing (obviously food and drink, and flint and stone implements of the chase they are found upon the left side, with head toward the south and knees drawn up-'Tn an embryonic position ready to be porn into a new worid."

Energy In the Atom.

The knowledge of radioactivity. which has been growing since the dis covery of the X-ray and of radium, has revealed the atom as a tremendous storehonse of energy. The atomic en- ergy contained, for example. in the two-ineh piece of chalk with which the lecturer makes his diagrams Is calculated to be 3OOO00,00O foot tons enough to raise 100000 tons 3,000 feet. At present we do not know how to liberate the power. We know that 1t exists only by observing the spontane- ous disintegration of radioactive sub stances; but knowledge sometimes comes quickly; persons now living may see the day when atomic energy will be used.-Youth's Companion.

FIGHT YOUR INSOMNIA
Exercise, Fresh Air and Cease of
Worry Best Treatment for Those
Who Do Not Sleep.

Insomnia or sleeplessness is a COM
mon anment, worse probably in these
hectic years. Doctors say that all
sufferers from insomnia exaggerate
their trouble The restless patient
soIemnly assures the doctor in the
morning that he has not closed an
eve all night" The nurses chart
shows several hours of deep sleep. But
the patient is honestly. unaware OF
having slept.
There are few conditions more diff
ficult to treat Drugs should be used
only in emergencies. Exercise and
fresh air and cease from worry are,
of course, the real preventives The
worst possible thing is to worry be-
cause sleep does not come. A sleep
less night, even two or three, docs
not of itself do one any harm.
Some folks, on the threat of sleep
less night have only to eat a glass
of milk and cracker; for others a ho-
bath or hot water bottle to the feet,
is sleep producing. A Topeka lawyer
recalls the scenes of his boyhood in
an eastern village and can generally
fall asleep as, in fancy, he trudges
down a long, cool, elm lined lane that
leads down to a river where he played
as boy.
Suggestion in various forms, and
HOMOGENEOUS mental gymnastics have
been recommended in all ages. but
Wordsworth's flock of sheep that lei
surely pass by his sound of rain and
bees murmuring" are generally as
little help to the ordinary man as they
were to the poet.
And yet it is in some form of mental
treatment, of self-suggestion. that the
best hope of overcoming the habit lies.
Reading in bed helps many. The light
should not be too bright or reflect a
glare from the page. The slight eye
strain has itself a slight hypnotic eff
feet. The choice of book is important.
1t should be worth reading and pre-
ferably should be some old standby
which bears reading and re-reading.
To the writer, Kipling's Brushwood
Boy has lured sleep many a night.
If the book is interesting enough to
occupy the mind, you are getting
three-quarters of the advantages of
sleep, and if you can satisfy yourself
that you can do without your sleep
and still enjoy your nights rest and
reading, sooner or later sleep will Wis
it you, an unlimited but welcome
guest.
Some induce sleep by studying the
form in which sle-p approaches. At
those instants when we lapse from the
conscious into the sleeping stage (the
sub-conscious) many experience GER
tain dream-like sensations. And by
voluntarily summoning these sleep
follows
But insomnia is just a bad habit
and like most habits durable and pre-
ventable On your sleepless nights do
not worry; most of ns are none the
worse of a few hours visiting with
ourselves. If your thoughts are dis
couraging, things always look brighter
in the morning.

TEACHERS TO ELECT OFFICERS
Annual Meeting of Board of Directors
To ne Held December 3.

Election of officers. approval of the
1922 budget, and selection of meeting
places and dates for the next annual
convention are the chief matters to
come before the board of directors of
the Kansas State Teachers association
here December 8.
The board of directors annually
elect the president and treasurer of
the association at the first meeting
following the fall convention. The
secretary holds his office by appoint
ment. A. E. Lunceford, Florence city
superintendent, is now president of
the association. and S. NJ. Nees. prin-
cipal of the high school at Indepen-
dence, is treasurer The presidents
for the last ten years or more have
been city superintendent and some
sentiment has been evident in favor of
electing a county superintendent this
time, according to Secretary F. L.
Pinet. No candidates have announced
themselves for the offices.
Strong rivalry is expected from
cities seeking to entertain the four
teacher gatherings next year. In the
southeast section. Parsons, Indepen-
dence and Pittsburg have presented
bids; in the northeast section, Topeka
and Kansas City. Kan; in the north
west Salina, Concordia and Hays;
and in the southwest, Wichita and

Within a short time Topeka's in
stallment of Christmas trees will begin
to arrive from the Minnesota forests
and from Canada. It is estimated by
Frank Cope that Topeka will use TO-
600 Christmas trees of all Sizes dur
ing the coming Yuletide.
The trees will sell for from IS and
81 for the larger ones. to so cents and
rs cents for the smaller varieties. In
addition to the Christmas trees which
are used in Topeka. several carloads
will be distributed thru this city as
a jobbing center. to all parts of the
state.
Mistletoe will come to Topeka from
Mesilla Park. New Mexico, Arbor
Vitae leaves from Georgia; holly from
Delaware and Arkansas. Several sec

will contribute their woodland pro-
ducts to the Identification of Topeka's

But when the gong on the engine
house wall sounds, Alice's engineer
rushes to her throttle and speeds her
up till the pressure goes up to more
than $50 pounds per square inch at
the pumping plant. The gong means
that there is a fire in Topeka, and
somewhere the safety of lives and

and fathfulness of Old Alice, as she
thumps and thugs away forcing water
into the mains for the use of the fire
department down town.

And steadily the work goes on, all

rattles and roars. A six-inch

erected around the base. Electricians
are working on the transfer of the
lines in town.
More electricians are Installing the
complicated lighting and controls in
the filtration operating rooms, and
masons and concrete men are busy
at the walls. Boiler makers and
steam filters are struggling with the
installation of the new boilers and
the laying of the huge steam lines
which carry the steam to the turbines,
where it is transformed into power.
From the time the water leaves the
boilers, is converted into steam, con-

is less than sixty seconds.

man can be interested in all of it. tho
he understands the technique of none
of it.

GUTENBERG DAY OBSERVED
Washburn Quill Club Celebrates Day
in STRANGE Fashion.

"Gutenberg Day" Celebrated IN
honor of the supposed inventor of
printing with movable types, was OBJ
served in strange fashion by the
Washburn college chapter of the
American College Quill club, whose
vice chancellor, Fred Zimmerman,
proceeded to prove that Gutenberg
probably did not invent printing at all.
Zimmerman declared the honor
probably belongs to Laurens Janzoon
Coster, of Harlem, Holland. Coster
probably used movable type four
years before Gutenberg's supposed in
vention in 1850, according to thinner

The club also heard papers on the
other fundamentals of writing: paper
and ink.
