Value of Regularity.
To the Editor. The Washington Herald:

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
To have regular habits OF sleeping,
eating, working and recreation. seems
to me to be conducive to health and
well-being. When accustomed to
breakfasting at eight. lunching at
noon and dining at six. the system
gets in readiness at the usual time
for Its work. The same holds with
sleeping. I know Of country people
used to rising at four. and from long
habit cannot sleep after that hour
II We force ourselves to rise an hour
earlier to meet the "day-light-saving'
nuisance. we must be alarmed out OF
bed. and find Hsdifficult to adjust our
selves back when the other change is
made. upsetting domestic habits OF
life again for all the family.
As things are now. many a su-
burban mother, whose husbands
business opens at nine, but whose
children's school begins at eight
shoulders her added burden each
morning in having to prepare two
separate breakfast for Fighters,
and the "niners!"
As a little extra sleep Is more
necessary to me than a breakfast an
hour before my stomach is ready for
1t. / skip the meal. walk over three
miles to ONCE. and try to eat my
breakfast in the few minutes allowed
for luncheon. So this is a move for
more "efficiencyr'
Cutting an hour of sleep. as II
means for many, to develop more EN-
cheney reminds me of the man who
put green goggles on his horse and
fed him on shavings.
The day-light-saving plan is the
greatest stunt yet found to upset our
domestic life and engender a whole
some disgust for the disturbers Of the
peace who suggested II. Congress
for once. showed good sense in ignor-
ing the nuisance. wonder what
whim will be pulled of on US next?
Day-light-saving. SO called. is a de-
stroyer Of regular habits. which mos,
business men try to attain and re-
tain. in themselves as well as their
employees. o. N. TIME.
