ROBBING THE OBRILDREN,
Little Talks ou Henith & Hygiene by *amu-
el GQ Dizon, WM DD, LAD, Commissioner
of Health, v
The present habit of turning night
into day In our highly illuminated
towne, with all sorte of excl Ing enter-
tainment, keeps the nerves keyed up
and upeets the equilibrium,
Children especially are apt to suffer
from late hours and consequent lack of
sleep. For the first two years of life,
eating and sleeping are the two great
essentiale,
Babies should sleep from fifteen to
twen'y hours out of the twenty-four
and older children from ten to four-
teen hours. It is not an unusual
thing to see babies in arme or very
young children being carried about
until their parents’ bed time, This fs
injurious to the children and cannot
be made up by additional rest the
next day.
Permitting children to remain up
late is a strain on thelr nervous system
which, while it may not be immediat-
ely spparent, is bound to exert a det-
rimentsl lvfluence in the long run.
Oftentimes the ili effects are perfectly
anparent to the intelligent observer,
Irritableness and any of the train of
evils which result from an overtaxed
nervous system may result from con-
tinually robbing the child of sleep.
A regular bed time should be set for
children according to their age, rang-
ing from six o'clock for bables to eight
for children of eight or nine and this
should be regularly adhered to, This
ia a matter of the utmost importance
in establishing a sturdy constitution
in childhood,
With adulte, irregularity and short
hours of sleep are often a facior which
predisposes to ill health, There are
exceptions to this as to all rules, Oc
easionally one will find an individual
who bas an unusual capacity for work
with less than the ordinary amount of
rest but for the ordinary man or wec-
man this wou 'd end dissstrously,

Dynamiters Fotled in Dastardly Attempt.
An sttempl wes made Tuesday
night of last week to blow up the four
Penvay tracks at the water station
just west of Bellwood, wreck the waler
#istion and possibly blow up and
wreck passing trains. The plans of
the dynsmiters failed for some resson
upexpisined, and their plot wae di-
covered by Lhe explosion of one charge
just after the Altoona local, due at
11:45 o'clock, paseed over No. 3 track
and rolled into the local station on
time,
The powerful explosive was planted
in sticks of eight with a time fuse a'-
tached and in all there were about
some twelve such charges planted
along the water troughs on all four
tracks, Only the onechargewent off
and the Peuney!vania police and em-
ployes found eighty-seven sticks, in
charges of eight sticks. The one ex.
ploded charge did considerable dam-
sage to the track, to the trough snd
would have wrecked the Altoona local
had it gone off when the train wae
