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

DAe %s fHs IL ASCG0
VoU should proceed on the
L theory that your available
energy at any given time is a
definite quantity, and that if you
expend so much OF it in any one
direction you have that much less
to expend in some other direction.
on course, you have two ways of
restocking your energy. One is
rest. The other is food. / want to
write today more particularly
about rest in it's relation to re.
stocking your energy.
Rest is complete only during
sleep. All rest-that is to say, re-
pose--during waking hours is val
liable by way OF restocking en-
ergy-but the process is more
complete when sleep extends re-
pose to practically all OF the
special senses.
Terman and Hooking find that
the percentage OF children who
had to be wakened was 81 at 6
years old, % at 8, and "a at IL.
The percentage rose with the age
until at Is it was as high as AIS.
In trying to find connection be.
tween hours of sleep and success
at school they were unsuccessful.
They had to recognize that the
problem was a much more COM
pl1cated one than they had sup
posed. They considered many
suggestions. among which were
that body and mind reached their
highest efficiency with a certain
minimum of sleep. But they
found that the average child often
exceeded that minimum, and that,
after certain point, sleep was
either a waste of time or gave a
reserve of energy which, certainly.
was no waste of time.
There is a good deal of evidence
for the waste of time after a
certain point" theory. Many peo-
pie say that they can work better
after short night than a long
one. According to Gilbert and
Patrick, no one can ever make up
more than 1888 per cent of any
sleep he loses. Miss M. Smith,
however, who used "dotting ma
chine" to record sustained volun.

though the effect of fatigue at
first was certainly to release
sources of energy not usually
available, a fact which would &C.
count for a person working bet.
ter after a short night. yet this
energy had to be paid for sooner.
or later.
There are other possibilities.
One is that good quahty may off
set poor quantity and the other
way round. This might explain
why Terman AMI Hooking found
no obvious connection between
hours OF sleep and success. An
other is that there Is a factor of
safety, such a large one that the
effects of loss of sleep, in child.
hood may not be felt until. per-
haps, middle age. Unfortunately
there is no scientific proof of this.
Whatever the truth may be, most
persons will agree with the con.
clusion of these authorities that
children sleep less in summer he

grees r. Is bad both for quantity
and quality of sleep.

WE HEAR A GREAT DEAL
w ABOUT THE CHILD'S IN
DEBTEDNEsS TO THE PAR
ENT, BUT HOW ABOUT THE
PARENTS INDEBTEDNESS TO
THE CHILD?
l don't like to use the word
debt in connection with any love
compact. But if we're going to
use it at all, it surely applies
more to the parent than to the
child.
A child is the greatest thing
that can possibly happen to any
man or woman. Nothing broadens
and enriches life as the love and
service of a child. Parenthood is

that gives half as much pride and
pleasure and power and peace to
cussed human souls.
Hard work?
OF course, it's hard work.
Anything that's worth doing is
hard work. But parenthood pays
better than any other hard work
and the payments never stop.
IT'S THE ONLY JOB ON
EARTH THAT MAKES YOU A
PARTNER OF GOD.
IT'S THE ONLY JOB THAT
CAN TAKE A TWO-BIT HUMAN

MILLION DOLLAR DIVINITY.
And what do we have to do to
receive these amazing returns?
Do we have to be wise, just,
capable, fascinating, cultured,
beautiful, strong, or even respect
able?
We do not.
We can be stupid, silly, dis.
honest. uncouth, weak and dis.
reputable and yet win the adora-
ton and unaltering trust of
little child.
Our relatives may detest us,
our neighbors may shua us, the
boss may give us the air, but to
our child we're perpectlon plus.
Just a little love, a little joy
BUSINESS. little patience, and to
the baby we are more glorious

than Solomon.
And yet We talk about what
our children owe us!

has made up his mind to mOisten bank
