A patriotic appeal is being made to all citizens to restore this money, to circu lation, v But hoarded cash is only a drop in the bucket compared to the billions of dollars tied up in hoarded credit in unpaid bills! Millions of people in this country who can afford to- pay and don't are working untold hardships on their retail stores, their physicians, their dentists, by with holding payment of their bills long after they are due President Hoover.

Let's thaw out those frozen dollars! Idle dollars won't put idle hands to work! If all of us would pay up our unpaid bills now, it would put billions of dollars back into circulation, would stimulate business, would put millions back to work, would hasten the return of prosperity.

Sleep wnlKlng. or tomnnmbuli.'-m, as it is IcfihnicitUy known, olwnys Jwi fascinated the laity and sctcu tlnts. About this phenomenon have been co rm true ted many fanciful concep tions. We find somnambulism in Shake speare's tragedy of Macbeth, and in a number of German novels. At the time mermierinm was In vogue, somnambullnts, or those who walked in their sleep were thought lo possess extraordinary, and clalr vcyant powers. In somnambulism a person rises from his bed in the night, apparent ly asleep. His eyes may be closed or half open, and yet he does not seem to porceive things. j-iowcvcr, ne may go mrougn wnat appear like purposeful actions, and even onrtwer questions correctly, but has no memory of these incidents when wakened. In this renpect the somnambulist resembles a person under the In fluence of hypnosis. There is a body of literature devoted to tho subject In which many marvelous things arc told about, sleep walkers, but most of the instances are unsubstantiated. The lnlluence of the moon upon nlocp wnlkei.H, planet or rttar gating, roof climbing, the performance of hazardous tasks with skill and surc footednesn. are matters attributed to the condition but lacking the proof of good authority. The condition is not rare among children. It occurs most frequently In those of a nervous temperament, or who have been subjected to se vere excitement. Digestive disturb ances may contribute to sleep walk my. Among adults the condition Is more-rare, but still not uncommon. Here. In addition to the causes cited asvaffrcling children, must be added the peculiar conditions of wandering mnnif..i. In all Instances sleep walking must be looked upon as the manifestation of prtycholoKlc nnd emotional dis turbances requiring competent mcdl- cui treatment.
