Your Health
By DIR. C. C. ROBINSON.
WHAT is SLEEP?

He who is in full possession of his
health should enjoy sound refreshing
sleep.
The waste products of bodily activ-
ity, that is, the daily elimination of
all cell and tissue changes thrown off
by respiration and the processes of
renewal and repair appear to be the
real factors which cause sleep. On
these waste products in large meas
ure depends the distribution of the
blood
The lessening of the blood supply
to the brain is no longer regarded as
factor Of great Importance in pro-
ducing sleep. While the blood pres
sure is not materially changed, the
heart action may be said to enjoy a
slight decrease during sleep.
! How much is enough sleep? The
modern theory is that you need all you
can get. If you have good bed, eight
! is physiological fact, proven in thou
sands of cases by careful experiment,
that we need all we can get and should
take all we can use.
! Women need an hour more of sleep
than men as usual rule. Most of
them usually get less.
Ones best sleep is with the stom-
ach practically empty. 1t is true that
food puts one to sleep at first by di-
verting blood from the head but it
disturbs sleep later.
The character of sleep depends
largely on the mental attitude upon
going to bed. One should get into the
habit of absolutely dropping work and
cares at bed time.
| When the oxygen balance in the It's
sues is restored, when the daily IA
tigue poisons are eliminated or burned
up by the oxygen, and when the worn
| out cells are replaced, you'll wake
rested and refreshed. You wouldn't
want any more sleep, even if you
could get it.

b. Berton Braley

I'm covered with countless contusions,
Pm bruised and I'm battered and hurt
Where facts have bumped into illusions
And knocked me about in the dirt.
Yet, spite of these countless collisions
In which, to the realist's view,
The facts get the best of the visions,
l go on believing them true.
I'VE suffered deal of deceiving,
I've had my faith often betrayed,
And yet | will go on believing
Ny faith remains still unafraid.
And though | seem blind and mistaken
To those whom realities rule,
I hold to my visions mistaken,
I'll go right on being fool!
by cold heavy fact I am battered,
D BY ugly, material things,
But somehow my soul is unshattered,
My spirit still flies upon wings.
Though life and its wounds set me grieving
And put my illusions to flight,
still shall go right on believing,
Aid know in my heart | am right

mantle that he wins the lovely Elsie
from the wealthy duke who buys her
dozens of shoes at time. Blackmer
at no stage of the performance is
stirring enough to win sentimental
girl behind the counter of five-and-
ten.
A definite barrier lies between Zoe
Atkins and greatness. As playwright
she is unable to follow the shortest
distance between two points.
Thus in the sMoon-Flower" she es-
tablishes the duke as a man who kills
any man. who so much as looks at
his mistress. In the end he compli-
ments the melancholy young man who
has entertained her over night.
Indeed, Miss Atkins doesn't take her
self seriously. In almost all of her
plays you catch her laughing UP her
sleeve at her own work.
This writer frequently sees ballet
dancing. 1t is usually Incidental to
some other form of entertainment
Esthetic dancing is one form Of en-
tertainment which doesn't entertain
this spectator. Unless the program is
generously sprinkled with notes tell
ing what various emotions are mott
waiting the dances, he doesn't know
what tits all about.
Fokine and Fokina are dancing to-
gethers again for the first time in
three years. They are giving the
world premiere of ''Medusa" at the
Metropolitan. 1t is a beautiful spec
tacle. Fokine's new American ballet
is very graceful. The accompanying
music from Chykovisky's 'Pathetique
symphony delights the ear.
However, the new voiceless, blood
less, two-dimensional motion picture
to your correspondent seems to have
reached higher form of art than the
age-old art of dancing.

Sweden builds museum houses

taken to these museums to educate
them in progress.

AUTOMATIC.

During the growing season for po-
tatoes, there passes through the
plants on an acre of land the enor-
nous quantity of 700 tons of water.
All this is as automatic process as
the movements of printing press.
Did you ever stop to think how
many of the actions of people are
equally automatic? The subconscious
mind is supposed to regulate these ac-
digestion, for instance. The
human body is 80 per cent automatic.

he dropped around to the capitol and

If he failed to do this he can read
the Congressional Record and learn
how to make Gibbons back out in the

POWER.

The new electricity generator at
Niagara Falls-70,OO0 horsepower
does work that otherwise would re-
quire 100000 tons of coal year.
Multiply this by 10 and you have
the coal saved by all power plants at
Niagara.
The force of falling water, nick
named "white COAL" is destined to
play a tremendously important role
in Americas future. There's strong
tendency to allow private interests to
get possession of water power. This
tendency is dangerous and foolish.
