Your Health,
The First Concern.
Night after night sleep fills the re-
serve tank of the human machine,
thus making it efficient again for its
daily work. Sleep recharges the
dulled brain, reloads the never resting
heart and replenishes the tired mus-
cles. What during the active life of
‘the waking hours has been damaged
and disintegrated is repaired and re-
placed. Reinforcements are dis-
patched to the weakened parts of the
body and broken down cells are re-
built.
The intensity of modern civilization
is apt to soften or deaden the vigor
of children unless they are taught to
apply wisely the principles of rest
and sleep.
Rest is nature’s best healer. It is
the antidote to work. Absolute rest,
in the form of sleep, is under normal
conditions the most ideal method for
neutralizing the effects of work. In
‘the bank of health and life sleep and
rest preserve the budget that daily
activity threatens to deplete.
Neverthelss, it is not necessary, or
always possible, to resort to sleep
whenever one is tired. Man is so
made that he finds rest from activity
by indulging in another. A walk in
the open will conuteract the fatigue
resulting from writing and reading
t the desk. So the child, weary from
is school work, will become alert and
happy again by playing outdoors. Or
if hustling about in the open has been
too much for him, he will find relaxa-
tion in looking at a picture book.
: Rest, it must be remembered, de-
pends on the needs of the individual
¢hild. The same principle applies to
‘the length of rest periods; some chil-
“dren find relief after short periods of
rest; others must have longer inter-
‘vals to recuperate from the same
amount of work. In general, the
«hild reacts to rest as he reacts to
work. Should he work continuously
at a task regardless of its difficulty,
he will naturally need long periods
of rest; on the other hand, the child
whose efforts are spasmodic and of
short duration, intense as they may
be, will recover relatively quickly
from acute fatigue.
Many parents, afraid that a child
may grow up to be a sleepy head, be-
lieve it inadvisable to let him sleep
as long and as much as he wishes.
Propagandists for more concentrated
living, for a longer work day, find a
felling example in Edison, whose suc-
cessful career they attribute to. his
long ‘hours of work and reduced
amount of sleep. In their opinion,
the surest short cut to success it to
Work while others are asleep. This
is a very dangerous doctrine to applv
ito the growing child. 3
Sleep insufficient in amount and in-
adequate in quality is responsible for
more absences from and failures in
school than any other factor. Insuf-
ficient sleep depletes the reserve en-
ergy of the child and undermines his
efficiency. Insufficient sleep is a short
cut not to success but to chronic fa-
tigue and all its evil consequences.
To prove the truth that les in these
Statements, one has only to compare
the amount of sleep of tired children
‘with that of normal children. Tired
children often average not more than
half the amount of sleep required for
their age. Youths do not get enough
sleep because they imitate their par-
ents. They attend evening parties,
‘they meet at their clubs after dinner,
they go to theatres and movies at
night. Apparently, their parents do
‘not realize that they themselves plan:
the seed for these adult tastes of
‘their children. One sees in the audi-
ence at evening performances small
children and even babies in arms.
‘Countless nurslings and children,
while half asleep, are jostled about
at night in automobiles. Once the
pernicious habit of keeping late hours
‘has taken root it can be broken only
- with great difficulty.
Girls more than boys read books
until late into the night. Boys moe
than girls are possessed by the ra-
dio craze. Not satisfied with the pro-
gram of their home town they re-
main awake in order to tune in on
midnight concerts from distant sta-
tions. Jimmy, while his mother was
worrying about his health, may have
been listening to midnight concerts
for six months without his mother
suspecting it.
_ Some children reserve the late even-
ing and the early morning hours for
the study of their home lessons; oth-
ers arise early in order to practice
on the piano or on the violin before
school. Parents seem to encourage
their children to do mental work be-
fore school, because, with their minds
refreshed from sleep, they are better
able to accomplish such tasks. In-
-deed the reason parents advance im
favor of mental activity at that time
‘of the day is the very reason for
“its ‘condemnation. School work re-
quires the best energy the child can
give to it and to deplete this energy
early in the morning is a serious mis-
take. : .
Many boys and girls find their
hours of sleep reduced because they
are compelled to work for pay in the
. evening. Girls stay up late guarding
«children whose parents are away for
‘the evening. Boys grind in shops and
stores often as late as 10 and 11
o'clock at night.
The question arises as to how much
sleep school children must have so
, ‘that they may develop normally, do
their work efficiently, and keep their
reservoirs of energy well supplied.

Wayside Refreshment Stand Com-
petitions.
The Wayside Refreshment Stand
Competitions have been initiated by
Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., through
the Art Center of New York and the
American Civic association. The pur-
of four competitions, each having its
own objective, is to improve the ap-
pearance of the wayside refreshment
stands, which, through ugliness of con-
ception and carelessness of construc-
tion are beginning to menace the
beauty of our highways.
The first competition which was an-
nounced in the “Ladies’ Home Jour-
nal” in November, 1927, offered prizes
for photographs and plans of the best
stands already in use. This compe-
tition was concluded December 15th,
the first prize of which was won by
Norma Bamman, of Plainfield, New
Jersey.
The second competition, now being
announced, is architectural in char-
acter and offers prizes for the best
original designs of stands which will
improve the present conditions. Ten
awards will be made; five for stands
without gas pumps and five for stands
with gas. The buildings in the first
case should not occupy a plot of
ground over 3,000 square feet, and in
the second case, not over 5,000 square
fest.
Plans for the first stand should in-
dicate arrangements for the prepara-
tion of food, space for gas range, cup-
boards or shelves, work-table, ice-box,
sink, ete. Service room should show
space for counter or table with chairs,
heating apparatus, display, ete.
Plans for the second stand should
show arrangements for preparation of
food, space for gas range, cupboard
or shelves, work-table, sink, etc.
Men’s and women’s lavatories should
show space for basins and toilets,
Gas station should indicate position of
gasoline pumps, oil barrels, etc., and
approximate distance of station from
refreshment stand.
The buildings should be simple in
design and economical of construction.
They should be in harmony with the
architectural traditions of their sur-
roundings. Stands must also meet
the advertising, service, and sales re-
quirements of their locality. The
plans must show the paths and drives
and positions of underground tanks
(if any).
Basis of Award.—
1. Fitness of the design as a whole
to meet the needs and spirit of the
problem.
2. Aesthetic merit of the design.
3. Excellence and Ingenuity of the
plans.
4. Practicability and Economy of
construction.
Excellence of rendering, while de-
sirable, will not be considered of ex-
treme importance.

Plan Hospital for War Women.
A definite policy for hospitalization
of women war veterans, numbering
thousands, is provided for the first
time in the country’s history in the
general hospitalization bill which, it
was recently announced, probably will
be taken up in the House.
Of the $15,000,000,.in the. measure,
$200,000 is for a special hospital here
for women world war veterans, most
of them nurses. At present 2,110
women veterans are drawing com-
pensation, and there are 209 in hes-
pitals, but this separate hospital will
cstablish a permanent policy.
It was a woman, Mrs. Edith Nourse
Rogers, Republican member f rom
Massachusetts, who had this appro-
priation included. She was in relief
work during the war. Mrs. Rogers
also will be in charge of the measure
on the floor—the first time a woman
has been clothed with this legislative
authority.
She pointed out that the second
American wounded in the World war
Was a woman, Beatrice MacDonald, a
nurse, who lost the sight of one eye
when shrapnel burst about a British
casualty hospital, where she was on
duty in August, 1917. She now lives
in New York.
Mrs. Rogers expects passage of the
hill by the House as it was reported
from committee, which added it to
the Veterans Bureau appropriation of
$1,000,000 for a hospital in Kentucky,
the same amount for one in southern
New England and $250,000 for Walter
Reed hospital at Washington, D. C.
The sites for the two former have not
been selected, nor has the site been
selected for the hospital for Kan-
sas, Nebraska or Missouri. The com-
mittee provided $1,300,000 for this
hospital.
The other appropriations author-
ized are:
Bedford, Mass., $300,000; Oteen,
N. C., $670,000; North Chicago, III.,
$895,000; St. Cloud, Minn., $200,000;
Palo Alto, Cal., $240,000; Pennsylva-
nia and New Jersey, a hospital each,
the two to cost $3,000,000; Atlanta,
Ga., $350,000; Chillicothe, 0., $300,
000; Maywood, Ill., $1,100,000; Walla
Walla, Wash., $250,000; North Little
Rock, Ark., $300,000; Tuskogee, Ala.,
$250,000; Tucson, Ariz., $260,000;
North Port, L. I., $70,000; Fort Snel-
ling, Minn., $50,000; Sheridan, Wryo.,
$100,000, and Alexandria, La., $600,-
000.
The bill also carries $1,300,000 for
revamping facilities in other hospit-
als.
Foresters Prepare for Spring Blazes.
A number of forest fires reported
to the bureau of protection in the
Pennsylvania Department of Forests
and Waters during the past week, in-
dicate that the spring forest fire sea-
son is close at hand.
Chief forest fire warden George H.
Wirt in a statement issued said that
the protection organization through-
out the State is completed and the
112 forest fire observation stations
have been placed in charge of exper-
ienced and competent observers. Tel-
ephone lines to the fire towers and
forest warden headquarters have been
repaired and placed in good condition.
The forest inspectors, fifty-six in
number, have organized forest fire
fighting crews and the equipment of
the 4000 forest fire wardens has been
inspected and found to be in excel-
lent condition. Lo

—By Dr. Arthur Growden.
The more I mix with modern wom-
en, the more I feel assured sports
clothes are not only the ultimate chic
for everyday wear now but that they
will become still more popular in the
future.
To a certain extent, English and
American women introduced them to
France. They appeared on our golf
links in their smart sweaters and
skirts. At first few French women
had taken up golf. They went up to
the clubs to take tea and watch the
players come in. They soon decided
that the simplicity of sport clothes
was infinitely becoming. Then they
began to play games themselves and
sports clothes were not only a caprice
but a necessity.
What has stabilized their popular-
ity more than anything else—more
than golf itself—is the small, two-
seater car, the little conduite inter-
ieure that every other woman drives
to do her shopping, call on her friends
and slip out to the country to get a
breath of pure air after the fatigue
of a busy day.
This generation is far too practical
to dabble with machinery in frills
and furbelows.
frocks with a sports tendency being
worn from morning until dinner time,
But the Parisienne insists on a cer-
individual sports frock stand out—
gives it a personal touch. In short,
her sports clothes must look Parisian.
That is why most of the famous hous-
es in Paris pay so much attention to
sports clothes. Now English and
Amcrican women come to us. As
soon as a sports frock that was defin-
itely practical and at the same time
had a smart Parisian air was to be
had, they all wanted it. They always
will. This is my reason for special-
izing in sports clothes and evening
dress. Modern life is an active life.
Faw women have time for the type
of afternoon dress that demands lei-
sure and Inxurious surroundings.
They may have one or two. But each
of them will order from six to twenty
sports frocks. As time goes on, I
should not be at all surprised to see
afternoon dresses disappear altogeth-
er, except for women who spend their
afternoons in each other's
rooms playing bridge.
The woman who dances in the af-
ternoon wears a frock that has very
much the lines of the suit she would
wear on the golf course. It may be
made of richer material, but the sim-
plicity of line is there. The sports
type of afternoon dress makes her
look younger. It is charming in move-
ment. It has the advantage of not
getting in her way when she steps
into her little car and drives herself
home. She can slip it on for lunch-
eon when her morning shopping is
finished, and she often wears the hat
or-made.
Now about the difference between
the Parisian sports ensemble and the
Anglo-Saxon. In the first place, we
pay great attention to detail. The
whole chic of a Paris sports suit may
be achieved by a carefully studied
belt, with sometimes a brooch
match. Very narrow, dog-leash belts
are fashionable just now. Sometimes
these are made of leather to match
the dress and finished with a metal
buckle of original design. In this
case the brooch will be made to match
the buckle. Or a note of contrast
may be introduced by means of the
belt. What could be smarter than a
thread of scarlet leather at the waist
of a biege sweater and skirt?
Tailored suits with full skirts and
short jackets in silk will be popular
this season if the advance showings
are any criterion.
And it is a blessing to know that
you can buy the material for the
skirts already pleated and arranged
cn bands in any fabric that you pre-
fer. Sew up the side seams and you
have an extra skirt for your neutral
shaded jacket or for your new blouse.
In this present silk-stocking, knee-
dress age, hosiery has become a ma-
jor wardrobe item, both from the
style and expense viewpoint, points
out an article in the Delineator.,
“The washing of hosiery,” advises
this article “should be done with even
more regularity and care than is giv-
en to silk underwear. It takes very
little time and energy to wash your
stockings in the evening when they are
removed. Draw a little very hot wat-
er in the basin, add a teaspoonful of
soap flakes, and then add cold water,
whisking the soap to a suds as you
cool it to the temperature of your
hands. If feet of stockings are very
dirty or stained allow them to soak
for a few minutes to avoid the neces-
sity of hard rubbing. Rinse very
thoroughly in water which barely
feels warm to your hands and squeeze
this water out, but do not wring or
twist hard as this pulls the delicate
threads. It is then desirable to twist
gently in a towel, and then shake to
evenlv distribute any water which
may have settled in a ridge and cause
the stocking to be streaked when dry.
The next important factor in giv-
ing longer life to your hosiery is your
method of putting stockings on. Those
who were taught to put on their
stockings in the old days when all
children wore long “undies,” and so
acquired the habit of turning in the
toes on the wrong side, and then pull-
ing up the legs, are less apt to run
their fingers through the leg than
those who just grasp the top and pull
the stocking up. One other sugges-
tion on the purchase of hosiery is that
you buy your stockings large enough.
There are two reasons why it is de-
sirable to do so, the first being that
of comfort and the second, economy.
Therefore we see |

t FARM NOTES.
Calves should have plenty of fresh
water even though they are getting
milk.
Going at it blind in dairying can-
not pay—plan your work, then work
the plan.
Iowa ranks fourth among the States
of the Union in number of cow test-
ing associations.
More than three-fourths of all the
farms in Pennsylvania have dairy
cows and nine out of every ten have
chickens?
Farmers in Pennsylvania are pro-
ducing over tive bushels more wheat
per acre than fifty years ago.
The longest crop growing season in
Pennsylvania, 207 days, is in Phila-
delphia county and the shortest, 80
days, is in Potter county.
The car can be kept looking well if
its owner is willing to spend a little
energy on the job. When the machine
is placed in the garage after a jour-
ney through a rain or snow, rub it dry
with a chamois kept handy for this
purpose. This practice with an occa-
sional polishing will prevent the col-
lection of the film that can make a
new car look old in a short time.
Thirty farmers have been prosecut-
ed during the past year by the bureau
of foods and chemistry, Pennsylvania
department of agriculture, for selling
watered milk. In several cases as
much as twenty-five per cent of wat-
er had been added.
Fieldmen of the bureau are making

might be adopted with profit by farm-
ers in all sections. A small flock of
some good woo! and mutton breed
would, if properly cared for, do more
than pay taxes. It is an old saying
that “the sheep wears a golden hoof.”
The sheep is the most profitable
animal that can be raised on the farm,
and there are many abandoned fields
i
that went equally well with her tail-
and cut-over hill and mountain lands
that could be utilized as pastures for
large flocks with greater profit than

and do not fail to add something to
this fattening grain that will make
muscle, bone, etc. Tankage and shorts
given in equal parts by weight make
a splendid addition to the corn. Milk

is what turns the trick in the ton con-
test.
A block of experiments to find the
place in the rotation where manure
gives the largest crop increase shows
that manure applications on sandy
soil do not necessarily show the same
results as those on other soils. Re-
sults to date strongly indicate that
top dressings of manure on sand pro-
duce larger crop increases than where
manure is plowed down. A top dress-
ing of manure after the wheat was
taken off is a large factor in preserv-
ing the stand of clover. In addition
to the manure, a rotation of corn,
soy beans, wheat, alfalfa (two years)
is being tested out. It appears that
corn once in five years keeps above
the safety line. The corn gets 100
pounds of an 0-12-6 fertilizer drilled
in the row at planting time. The al-
falfa is allowed to stand two years
and is given a liberal application of
acid phosphate at seeding time.
For holding gravel, oyster shells,
starch and charcoal, use tube cake
pans such as are sold at variety stores
for baking angel food cakes. Drive a
sharpened two-foot stake through the
center of the pan and the fowls can-
not tip it over and tut little is wasted.
The pan can be slipred off the stake
for cleaning and refilling. If you are
giving a tonic there is less waste if
it is given in this way than by mix-
ing with the grain.
Only those evergreens should be
planted in the fall that come from
much cooler climate than that of the
region where they are to grow. All
others should be planted in early
spring. .
Many farmers cut down the normal
egg production of their poultry flock
because of the fear of getting the
birds too fat. No hen can be too fat
to lay if fed a laying mash and good
clean scratch grain.
Plenty of clean drinking water
where cows can get it easily will do
more than anything else to make
them produce all the milk they can.

plants (black-leg) were found to a

was so apparent at all times that
dealers and growers visited the farm
very frequently.”
HARRY O. DICKEY, Elk River,
Minn. “It was easy to see the dif-
ference between the treated and un-
treated parts of the field during the
growing season (Early Ohio seed
potatoes). The DIPDUST treated
plants came up better and appeared
healthier and sturdier than the un-
treated plants. At digging time, I
compared the yields and found that
the DIPDUST treated rows ran 165
