Relaxation and Sleep.

SO much has been written about
the value of sleep that many nerv-
Gus individuals worry themselves
into sleeplessness. They fear dire
ailments or even insanity if they
don't get a certain number of hours
of sleep each night.
Now while nothing can take the
place of real sleep, with every mus
Gle relaxed, it has been found that
if an individual is unable to sleep
but can relax body and mind to a
point almost approaching sleep he
can attain as high as so per cent
of the value of sleep.

is added to the waist line is cut
from the life line" DR.. Chahles III.
Mayo says: Men fifty years old
and fifty pounds overweight are
much more likely to have cancer
than the normal. This means, then,
that eating or overeating is fac
tor in causing cancer because half
the cases of cancer are found in
the stomach and intestines.
''To sum it up, the overweight
have a higher death rate. At fifty
years of age an excess weight of 80
pounds increases the death rate by
80 per cent" l am quoting from
"HOw to Live" by Prof. Irving
Fisher and DIR. Lyman Fisk.
However, Overweights have more
than the death rate to consider; I;
they must think of their everyday
life-their chances for good health,
their ability to get around easily,
their resistance to ailments, their
mental ability or grip.
Some Famed Light Eaters.
Famous men whose brains keep
clear till the end are usually light
eaters who from early years of ex-
perimenting have found out just
whist agrees with them and are sat
isfied with this amount and variety
of food. Chauncey Depew attend
ed dinners and banquetS three or
four times a week for years, but
always looked over the menu and
ate only the foods he knew gave
him the nourishment he required.
Thos. A. Edison came of a long
lived family who for generations
had learned to eat what they knew
their bodies required and no more.
Thus in an interview some years
ago Edison said: THE body is only
piece of machinery and every
practical man knows that to get
good work out Of machine and
keep it in repair at the same time
one must know how to take care of
it. Now, If, you have 100-horse-
power engine and boiler big
enough to drive it, no wise engineer
will fire that boiler to full capacity
when he only wishes to take eight
horsepower out of his engine. If
he does, he sooner or later burns
the grate-bars out if his tire-boX.
But that is just what the majority
are doing; burning up 100 horse
power of fuel in their bodies and
taking out eight horsepower of
work.

A True Maker of Melodies.
THEY gave dinner here to the

fined as a person who has a good
memory and hopes no one else has;
just as now and then-but this is
trade secret-you strike writ
er who is getting by not because he
is such a good writer, but because
he has been such a close reader.
But for Irving Berlin, it may be
said that his lyrics are his own and
his airs are his own and his ideas
are his own. Maybe that's why his
tuneful output Is so gOod-it re-
fleets the spirit of an authentic
creator, a genuine minstrel bard.

Maybe it's just as well. Already

of new trunk store on side

Truth About the Stomach.

AS you know, early man lived
outdoors, used the great bulk of
muscle covering his body, had a
natural appetite and filled" his
stomach when he obtained food be-
cause he did not know just when
he would get his next meal. Thus
Nature supplied him with a stom-
ach that would hold enough food to
fill his needs for a whole day or
more.
Today we have these same huge
muscles covering our bodies and
have the same large stomach, but
we do not live outdoors, do not
work these huge muscles and so do
not need more than about half the
food that was needed by early man.
Yet because we have the same big
stomach and get the kinds of food
we like, many Of us thoughtlessly
think we have to fill this big stom-
ache three times a day.
Remember, then, that we need
some of all the different kinds of
food daily, that is (a) meat, eggs
or fish (b) cream, butter or other
fat, (c) vegetables, both starchy
and leafy, (d) minerals and (e)
water. But if we want to be at
our best mentally and physically
we eat just the amounts of these
foods that will keep us strong with
out increasing our weight above
normal.

1t was night before last, out

few events not in the usual
play. The big rainstorm came
along and made acting impos-
sible and they had to have a
round of community singing
until the rain abated. Then
the lights went out and the

popular thing imaginable-far
too popular, any number of
folks will insist. If you don't
know about it, we won't tell,
or we're apt to become a bit
off-balance. But we will tell
you that it's become so much
of a favorite in practically
every place in town, that peo-

nothing but sit around and
knock and make those puns
which are the game. We just
wonder as to the state of those
