A Message To Every
Mother And Father
State Bureau OF Child Hygiene Warns
Against Excitement And Late
Hours For Children During The
Holiday Season.

+ i
Here is message to the mothers,
and incidentally to the fathers in
Maryland, from the Bureau of Child
Hygiene, of the State Department of
Health. 1t is applicable all the year
round, but it should be especially
needed during the Holiday season,
when the temptation to over-excite-
ment, to keep late hours and to have
too little rest, is even greater than at
other times.
'Many parents" says DR.. Knox,
Chief of the Bureau" do not appre-
ciate the Importance of sleep and rest
for infants and young children. I'm
less a child's nervous system is ade-
quately rested, no matter how careful.
~ its diet may be planned, the child
will still be underweight for its age
and will not have normal resistance to
disease.
"Over fatigue is a well known cause
of indigestion and loss of weight.
Suitable food and sufficient sleep. are
more or less dependent upon each
other. Children expend a great deal
Of energy and strength in attaining
height and weight. Great care must
be taken at all times, to guard against
overstimulation of child's nervous
system.
During the first six months of life,
the young infant sleeps, eats and
grows. 1t often requires from TWEEN
ty, to twenty-five hours, out of the
twenty-four for sleep. During the
second half year, sixteen to eighteen
hours is necessary; fifteen hours of
sleep during the second year, and ~
to Ia hours of sleep up to the fourth
year are not to much.
4 young children from two to six
years old, are often alowled to sit up
too long after the evening meal, and
SO miss long hours of strength giving
sleep. Children, indulged in this way,
are apt to be pale, peevish, restless,
and irritable; and have poor appe-l
titles.
Gone Of the most important fea
lures of young child's daily routine
is the midday rest. Very many chill
dren under six, can not store up in
six or eight hours enough surplus
energy to "carry on" happily during
twelve hours of constant activity.
All doctors have had to insist upon
midday rest for young children who
have been brought to them because Of
nervousness or indigestion, and have
learned that the hours rest--or sleep,
if possible without any change in
diet, will generally restore the. chill
dren to health.
even when children are attending
two sessions of school, it is often pos
sible to have child of seven years old
rest for half an hour after the mid
day meal before returning to school.
When this is impossible the. rest
should be taken Immediately after the
afternoon session. Many schools car
ing for young children, provide for a
rest period at midday. Even if chill
dren cannot sleep at this time, COM
plete relaxation in quiet and well
ventilated room, or, if the season per-
mits, upon porch, is Of great bene-
fit." W

COLUMBUS DIDN'T
DISCOVER AMERICA
Descendant Gives Credit "a
Another. ..-

Toronto, Ont Christopher Column
bus did not discover America.
So says the duke Of Alba, who per-
haps better than anyone else alive to-
day ought to know, for he Is the eight
zenith direct descendant of Columbus.
When the duke recently crossed
Canada he was accompanied by Chief
Buffalo Child Long Lance, a full-blood-
ed Indian. To the chief the duke
made his revelation about the false
fame which, he says, attaches to the
name Of his distinguished ancestor.
The chief tells about It In. the follow
Ing language: l.s
"One night, following dinner
aboard the duke of Alba's diner In
which he had bombarded me with his
usual barrage of questions on western
Canada, said to him: agi
IT want to know something about
Columbus. You have all of his per-
sonal records, and you must have
something about him that no other
person has.
The only fact that have that Is
not included in school histories he re-
piled, is the fact that Columbus did
not discover America. i am including
this in my latest historical work.
Visits Wrecked caravei.
Columbus was poor, happy-g0-
lucky chap, with not the least idea Of
becoming an explorer until he struck
upon that Idea by the merest accident
At the age Of forty he was living
among the poor In the town Of Fun
char, when one day while walking
along the beach he saw a wrecked
caravel floating In from the sea. He
found dying man. Columbus made
strenuous efforts to revive the man,
but he recovered only sufficiently to
say that he had been captain of crew
of sixteen that had gone out to sea on
that caravel many months before. On
the return journey some strange
malady had struck them, and they
had all died except himself. The man
added: IS
eve were returning With great
secret. We found another land with
strange people on It far across this
sea-" Il.
"'Columbus went straight to the
queen OF CASTLE and the king Of Ara
gon--who later married and caused
the unification Of Spain-and asked
for commission to raise a body Of
men for a foreign expedition. Only to
the king and the queen did he divulge
what the dying captain had told him.
He further asked for financial assist.

Upon his return to Spain he wrote
considerable data concerning the North
American aborigines. He said of them:
1.-The Indians are gentle people,

Toxic, Japan. June IA GA. P. by
MaiD-Feminine garrulity is one
reason for the inefTlciency of the
Toxic telephone service. according to
an apoligia issued recently by the

The statement says that a large
proportion of all calls are by women

women are talking much of their
conversation is idle. To prove it's
point the telephone bureau issued de-

show how much time Is wasted in
