Your Health
"Your Sleep
(By DR.. r. II. Bishop

"Your Sleep
A certain amount OF restful sleep
Is required of every individual who
would be normally healthy.
Any disorder or disturbance OF
sleep may be serious. especially in
the elderly. individuals vary great
ly in the amount of sleep they re-
quire, and al different ages there are
different needs. Some few of us
can get along even on four hours.
but most of US need ten. There are
also temperamental differences, and
variations resulting from habit and
circumstances.
Infants sleep most of the twenty
four hours. At four wears. twelve
hours are needed: at fourteen, ten;
at seventeen. nine and one-half and
seven or eight during adult life. In
old age continuous sleep Is rare. but
frequent maps by day as we'll as by
night maintain a fair average. More
sleep Is required in cold than in
temperate or warm climates.
A cool. dark, quiet, well-ventllated
room, comfortable bed, and ade-
quate but not excessive covering are
conducive to sleep. A prerogatory
period of sleepiness Is natural. and
in case of insomnia ought 10 be
cultivated. Habit is all powerful,
here rs generally. Regular hours
for retiring and arising are most
important.
Practically every deviation from
health is marked by disturbances
of sleep. Once q bad sleep habit
is established 1t tends to persist.
many people are hereditarily poor
sleepers-
Hunger. overlooking, indigestion,

much or too little blood in the brain,

cupation, intense study-such are

WHAT ARE WE COMING To-?

A former chairman of the
national committee Of one Of the
two great political parties. says
the Saturday Evening Post, was
asked a short time ago if the
Democrats had any chance OF
winning the next presidential
election.
Nobody is for anything in this
country" he replied. Every body
rs against something. On that
basis alone and without regard
to the merits of the case, | think
the opposition has an excellent
chance"
He went on to say that the at
titude of complaint, criticism, OPP
position and negation seems to
have very little to do fundamen-
tally with political parties, but
that it is merely a circumstance
that might we'll work for the
benefit or injury of particular
parties.
Politics aside, there is no de-
nyino the injury wrought by the
prevailing attitude of Gliding and
structure. Specific criticism aim
ed at proved and actually remedi-
able abuses is one thing; mere
grousing against everything in
general is what damages and des-
troys. Nothing is more common
than a sort of composite attitude
of dissatisfaction, discomfort
spleen and suspicion, which is
nearly always divorced from con-
structive and practical working
suggestions for improvement.
Those who arr rich or in other
respects fortunate too often look
upon labor unions and their lead
ers, together with most workn'e
domestic servants and employees
generally, as robbers and loafers
Those whose work is manual look
upon the rich and otherwise
fortunate in exactly the same
way. Inventors and others IL
search of capital regard the
banks as thieves, and the bankers
quite often look uoon those in
search of capital as unbalanced
cranks. Landlords and retailers
are generally supposed to be
profiteers. To this outside of il
Wall Street is den of iniquity
To the city man the farmer seems
to be asking for special privileges
the farmer often sees every one
else turned against him. Every
one suspects everyone else OF
raiding the public treasury in the
form of tariffs, bonuses, sub
sides or other special privileges
1t would be possible to go or
in this way indefinitely. Perhaps
there will be more straight think
ing as the war recedes into the
distance and the hysterias that il
set in motion are slowly claimed
Mental disturbances and eco
nomic fallacies were stimulated
also by the business depression
of 1920 and 1921. A more reason
ing attitude may accompany {
less disturbed business move
ment. But responsibility for the
carping, grousing attitude ol
mind cannot be wholly laid at the
door of the war or of the great
economic movements over which
the individual has no control
There is no such ready escape
for any given man or woman. Nc

MAKE 1T FIFTY-FIFTY

A we'll known labor leader ad-
vocattes the elimination of strikes
and strong arm tactics in the
settlement Of disputes with EN-
ployers. He remarks, Justly. that
the public is tired of them, and
that when an organization gets
in Dutch with the people 1T Is III
a bad way
The laborer is worthy of a just
hire-no more, and no less.
The brain that directs IS worthy
of a just compensatlon-no more,
and no less.
Neither side has a right to as
sumo a dog in the manger" attl-
tude, nor have they the right to
rob the buying public to fatten
themselves.
The only effective remedy for
this condition of affairs lies IN
the hands of congress and the
government.
There are too many swollen IN
comes in this country. This con-
dition is made possible by com
binations in restraint of trade
and by profiteering IN the form
OF eXtTaVagant price UoootlhS'
These matters should be regu-
lated BY law. and the penalty fof
violations should not be in the
form of fines. The guilty should
be sent to jail.
And in order that punishment
may be swift and sure, the public
official who fails to prosecute
should himself be sent to jail for
, Sinking his sworn duty.
These may seem like, harsh
measures, but they are the only
ones that will prevail.
Labor leaders will continue to
order strikes as long as employers
continue to rogue the public and
put all of the spoils in their own
pocket.

strikes will be thing OF the past
