WHEN WE'RE ASLEEP

When we are asleep we are per-
fect'y unconscious and cannot keep
track Of the passage of time, so that
when we wake up II seems to us that
we have been asleep only a minute.
All the time that one is awake and
eSpending energy little germs are
being sent to the brain which ARE
recorded or collected until enough
are there 10 give Us the signal that
Il Is time 10 sleep. Then, as we sleep
ana get rested, the little germs are
scattered, and when we have had suf-
ficicnt rest we wake up naturally.
The dreams we have when we are
asleep are a wise provision Of nature
to keep us from waking Usually
when we dream II means something
Is touching us or pressing us. We
may dream Of skating or snowstorms
If We have become uncover ID in the
night and the brain realizes the SEN
sation Of cold. Dreams originate in
the brain. When only part Of the
brain is awake we dream but vaguely,
and the next morning we are not
likely TO remember that we have
dreamed at all. bat when we remem-
her our dream, it means that a large
part Of our brain was awake. You
are very likely TO dream just before
YOU awaken in the morning, as your
brain gradually comes to conscious
ness after hours of rest Indigestion
acts the same toward producing
dreams as an outward discomfort,
such as a cramped arm or lumpy
mattress BUT often such dreams are
more violent than ordinary ones. and
are called nightmares Then the
brain is uunaturany reused aud the
visions become so distorted as to
frghtan us and make us cry and
scream with terror.

WE DIDN'T MIND IT MUCH

full attack over in England the pro
prietles are more metlculously pro
tected-sOmetimes- and one of the
times was when the editor OF a Lon
don periodical was sentenced to prison
for four months and to pay fine Of
$3.50 because he had printed a book
review quoting several passages from
an American novel. That novel has
been severely criticized here, too, but
the assaults upon It failed to produce
a decree either of punishment or Of
suppression. Whether or not the book
as a whole was indecent" is cues,
ton on which opinions honestly can
differ. The author and his friends
insisted that It's purpose was excellent
and its total effect cOmmendable, but
50 much Of the general judgment as 1t
received pronounced the novel dull and
uninterestng, and that, Of course, is
the ultimate condemnation Of any book.
II is curious that the British court has
done In this case just what ours have
refused to do-judged single. separat-
ed passages by themselves, and not as
part of a whole. The number of great
and good books that would not stand
that sort of judgment Is large. II is,
however, one thing to print a book in
the course Of which appear passages
in themselves violating accepted pro
prietes and to print review which
collects and presents those passages
as proof Of what American life has
come 70 be. The editor who did that
or allowed his reviewer to do II, GER
tainly does deserve some sort OF pun
ishment, If only for his stupid unfnir
ness

quickly slithered and quickly hit the

flames way he'd now be joggin' and
putting by large wads Of kale. On
