as 474.2SO. When patent No.
474,230 was looked up it was found
to contain no reference to such an
invention. And quite naturally,
since the patent for this inven-
ton was granted to Emile Ber-
liner on January Is, 1878.
On mis- seventy birthday
Edison accepted from his employees
a statue by dorado Taft, the name
of which was '.Orpheus Discover

statue representing a Greek fig

The gramophone was invented
by Emile Berliner in 1887. Ber-

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

YOUR child may wish to sleep
much or little. II much, it
is probably normal. Don't for the
world call it e sleepy head" and
try to break up the habit. Ii it
sleeps but little. especially If it
is nervous or fitful, it is not well
and you should call your doctor.
Whatever the explanation of
sleep-and no one, even the wis
est. knows much about 1.-THE
best doctors are realizing nova
days that children do not get
enough sleep. Until recently very
little attempt was made to deter
mine the proper relation of sleep
to work to obtain the maximum
efficiency. 1t was sufficient to
recognize that too much or too
little was bad, and to leave the
amount necessary and the condi-
tons under which it was obtained

sense.
Nevertheless, Malcolm Gross as
sures us, the opinions of shrewd
and experienced physicians are
often as near the truth as a
mathematical investigation, and
before the growing science Of pub
lie health gave us the accurate
methods which are used today.
many of them had stated clearly
the necessity for greater care In
securing sufficient sleep for the
growing child.
Sir James Crichton Brown fore.
told an increase in nervous dis.
eases and lowering of the aver
age intelligence IL the sleep of the,
rising generation were not ade.
quately safeguarded.
Doctor Hyslop tells us that
nearly all the cases OF insomnia.
brain.fag and neurasthenia with
, which he has had to deal have
been the result of overwork and
inability to obtain q sufficient
amount of rest.
These are only two out of
countless ssimilar statements, and
practical experiments have shown
that complete lack of sleep can
kill much more rapidly than
complete starvation.
In 1908 Miss Alice RavenshilI
collected some figures of the
hours of sleep obtained by ele-
mentary school children. which
showed that even the hours be-
