Florida has been reduced to less than half of that of last

labor and "encroachment of real estate and building
operations" truck land.
Apparently the boom in Florida has resulted in a
decline in the production of new wealth
On the other hand the boom in Texas, if consent
to call that is coincident with the agricultural deve
opment of this section of the state.

This means that not only the governments but

1t is a common thing for some

burning lamp or other light in the

1 am opposed to this practice.
Restful sleep is promoted by dark

The special senses-seeing, hear

are responsible for the impulses We
get from the outside world. Through
these senses We get our stimulation

These ridiculous acts would excite

the special sense Of sight:
Close your eyes gently, just as you
do in sleep. Turn your head about;
in the daylight you can locate every
window and open door. At night you
can easily tel exactly where the
light is through your closed eyelids.

Just as you can get used TO

can get used TO sleeping in a light

as sleep in a dark room.
1t is particularly treu of nervous

ing quarters should be chosen with
reference TO darkness and stiffness.
