Harm i'm Too Much
Sleep.

Persistent opponents of summer
time are never tired of asserting that
it "deprives people of their natural
Sleep" This is all very we'll; but no.
body yet has defined when we ought
to sleep and how many hours. Many
people sleep far too much; and it is
a well-known scientific facs that ex-
cessive sleep diminishes the nervous
teries and capillaries of the brain.
Sleepiness is generally sign of
lethargy; neither Sancho Panza nor
the Fat Boy in "Pickwick," cutstand-
ing examples of doughty sleepers,
were noticeably brilliant. Sir John
Sinclair roundly declares that too
much sleep "blunts and destroys the
senses, and renders both the body and
mind unfit for action" Sir Herman
Weber, the author of longevity and
the Prolongation of Life" blames the
habit of sleeping more than eight
hours for the premature decay of men,
tai faculties.
Many men of active brain are salts
fled with little sleep. John Wesley
was up at o'clock every morning.
Emmanuel Kant slept very little, re-
marking that much sleep exhausts
the energy and shortens life. The
latter conclusion is borne out by the
fact that many long-lived people
spent but a short space Of their time
in bed.
Sir Julius Benedict only slept four
hours night, and lived to be 81. Sir
Henry Thompson, who lived to be
20 wears old was q huSv Dhuciciau
who saw patients all day and attend
ed social gatherings every night. Yet
he found the time to write several
large books on medical subjects, and
he did this by being in mis- study at
six every morning.
Eminent barristers like Lord Read
ing and Lord Birkenhead were enter
tanning or being entertained socially
every night. Yet, they would rise at
or 5 in the morning and do several
hours work on their briefs before go
ing into court at 10.-Vaughn Dry

Minnesota has issued or author
lied bonds to the extent of $70,00O,-
900 for the purpose of making loans
to farmers. Of this amount $780,
DOC, 900 has already been placed. There
is no good reason why government
should go into the farm-loan business,
but Minnesota is trying to show that
it can be done. Special legislation on
behalf of the farmer has become the
regular thing in the states compris-
ing what might be called the Dakota

Success and happiness are results.
They follow certain causes and you
cannot have results without causes.
Success, usually, is measured by
what you posses, and happiness is
measured by how you feel. What you

NON-UNION PRINTERS
Turn Out Extension Uni.
versity Textbooks

BY international Labor News Service.
Chicago. Officers of Chicago Typo
graphical Union No. 16 have been un-
able to persuade the LaSalle Exten-
sion University to have all of it's
printing done under union conditions.
This is particularly true with refer
ence to the text books, which make UP
the heaviest item of the university's
printing bill.
The LaSalle Extension University
conducts correspondence courses with
thousands of students in all parts of
the United States and Canada, many
of them union men and women, a
large number of whom are employed
on railroads and who are taking ac-
countancy courses.
These men and women should un-
derstand that the text books sent
them by the university are being
printed under non-union conditions
and that little pressure on the part
of the students no doubt would rectify
matters. A part of the printing of
the LaSalle Extension University has
been done in union printing Offices for
some time past.

Striking Coal Miners Chill.

By International Labor News Servcie.
indianapolis, Ind.-The children of
several thousand striking coal miners
in northern West Virginia were not
forgotten by Santa Claus, according
to report received at headquarters
of the United Mine Workers here.
The representatives of the union in
that district presented each child with
Christmas cheer, candy, fruit and
clothing, the gifts being made in the
name of the International Union, un-
der the direction of Van H. Bittner
In sub-district five more than 5000
little ones received holiday cheer.
The campaign of organization in the
northern West Virginia district is 60
ing forward despite the efforts of
non-union operators to prevent it by
securing injunctions and various
court orders
The taking care of evicted families
of miners from company-owned houses
has been tremendous task, but is
almost completed, Mr.. Bittner reports
Thirteen families evicted by the Beth
lehem mines corporation near Bar.

UNCLE SAM BLLKED
Tricky Taxpayers Cheat
Government Out of Mil
lions, Finds Senate's
Spies

Washington.-The senate tax in
vestigating committee, headed by Sen
ator Couzens, of Michigan, has dis
covered that the government is an
nually losing millions of dollars by
sharp practices of corporations and
wealthy individuals.
The favorite form of taxation eva
sion, particularly in the larger in
comes, is through reduction of cap
ital losses. This practice alone has
cost the government millions of dol
lars, and is far in excess, committee
members say, of the loss from tax
exempt securities which has been
blamed by Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon as the most costly form of tax
lodging. Transactions known as
washed sales" are a favorite device
for charging off capital losses.
A taxpayer, confronted with the
necessity of paying large sums to the
government, sells stocks which have
deprecated in value. He computes
the difference between the buying anc
the selling price, deducts the loss
from his earnings, scales down his
tax and then buys the stock back the
next day.
Amortization and depletion of ma
tural resources are other methods
which are used by income tax dodg.
ers, who make excessive claims fol-
amortization, alleging that they pur.
chased excess facilities for war pur.
poses.
The committee has found many
evidences of what is termed "laxity'
by income tax officials, who hold wide
differences of opinion when called
upon to make decisions.
The committee, it is stated, will
attempt to close these tax-dodgine
holes.

Hamilton, ONO.
My Dear Fellow "Bolsheviks":
was very much grieved the past
week to learn that your wonderful
city was to be given over to the gam
blers, bootleggers, porch climbers,
stick-ups, safe blowers and a few
other gentlemanly craftsmen. The
Times-Star of Cincinnati printed sew
eral columns from perfectly reliable,

pondent or reporter, who was assign
ed to cover the story His was lurid
tale, and thus it dawned upon me that
inasmuch as your city had reverted to
the wild and woody west style, it
would no longer be safe for me to
visit you, even with a last years
model Studebaker. The high-jackers
would take my supply of gasoline,
strip me of my wearing apparel, and
thus, like in the olden times, leave
me lie alongside the highway, waiting
in vain for the good Samaritan that
would fail to put in an appearance.
Gloom? Gloom must have been

day | chanced to read in the Post that
