Carbohydrates are the energy
ptoductng toods. Some ot tne
great uiet exponents tell us
mat 60 per cent of our diet should
be of this type of food. Carbohy
drates come from vegetables and
fruits. The daily diet should in
clude fruits and vegetables, both
cooked and raw. Green leafy vege
tables are essential in the daily
consumption of food.

Sleep is a most important fac-
tor and gives rest mentally and
physically. Many people do not
rest when they sleep because they
are mentally and physically tense.
They do not know how to let go—-
relax. On the other hand, we find
various causes which prevent one
from enjoying a good night's
sleep. There is some organic con
dition of the brain, heart, stomach,
kidneys, etc. Very often it is dif
ficult to go to sleep after undue
excitement: or after some stimu
lating food or drink has been in
troduced into the body. This in
creases the body stimulation and
causes the blood to remain in one
place too long, affecting vaso-mo-
tor activity, especially in the brain
area. When the nerves cannot con
tract the cerebral arteries, they
cannot empty the blood which is
in the arteries. The bast cure for
this condition is a hot foot-bath
a sitz bath or massage. Have some
one massage with the hands light
ly over the lower part of the neck
and over the lower portion of the
spinal column. Massage, if done
lightly will increase activity in the
circulation of the blood throughout
the system This done correctly
will bring soothing and restful
slumber.
Each individual has many causes
of ' sleeplessness with which he has
to deal. The best time to retire
is about ten o'clock. Relaxation
of mind is very essential for sounu
sleep. There is much truth in that
old saying: "one hour of sleep be
fore midnight is worth two at any
other time.” Those who keep lai>
hours are prone to suffer f from
nervous disorders.

By DON ROBINSON
POIJCEMAN.............................. law
Did you ever picture what this
country would be like if there
weren't any policemen ?
1 think there are a few rare
souls who would continue to live
according to the letter of every
law. whether there was an enforce
ment agency or not, but the great
majority of us, 1 fear, would at
least occasionally stray out of
the bounds provided by our legis
lators.
Probably a lot of us don't know
ourselves Just how much our law-
abiding habits are due to our
natural desire to live according to
law and how much they are due
to our interest in avoiding conflict
with the policeman on our beat.
Most of us fit into one of three
classes: (1) those who would, if
given an opportunity, grasp every
thing they could get and pay no
attention to laws at all: (2) those
who would abide only by laws
which they consider worthwhile
would exercise sort of a personal
veto ur approval of each law on
the books: (3) those who would,
l>oiiceman or no policeman, abide
by all regulations because their in
telligence or religious understand
ing would convince them of the
social need for such action.
GUARDS............................... private
Probably the first thing that
would happen, if we got rid of all
city, county and state enforce-
ment agents, weuld be I the imme-
diate establishment of privately
id police forces
Imagine what would I happen to
the banking business if there was
no one to prevent robbers from
shooting bank tellers and helping
themselves to all available money.
Naturally, if anything happened i<
our public police force, the banks
would Immediately hire their own
guards, arm them and order •'
to shoot if any efforts were made
to break into the bank.
Even the petty jobs which the
police now do would soon be taken
care of privately if disbanded pub
licly.
Take the simple task of enforce-
ing speed laws. At first thought it
might seem rather pleasant to
have no speed law enforcement
and decide for ourselves how fast
we should drive. But there would
be some drivers who would im
mediately start driving recklessly
as soon as they realized no uni
formed man on a motorcycle might
appear in their rear-view mirror,
It would be no time at all be-
fore reckless drivers would run ov-
er a few children, angry pa rents
would demand protection- and if
no police were available they
would band together and hire
some.
.... jungle
CIVILIZATION
We just couldn’t get along in
any town in this country without
law enforcement agents of some
kind.
The policeman, When we look at
what might happen in his absence,
actually is the thing that holds
civilization together and prevents
us from living according to the
laws of the jungle.
For in the most uncivilized coun-
tries there are plenty of peopu
who would like to live orderly
lives, but without police and law
they are forced to abide by the
desires of the man with the
strongest punch

Hiring of Seasonal Farm Workers
Put Under Definite Contract Plan
Plans for the ticuis|M>rtation of
domestic farm workers into areas
where a serious shortage of help
exists will be completed early iu
September, according to the de
partment of agriculture.
For the present, though, such |
operations, under the direction of
the War Manpower commission,
will be carried on in the b’juth-1
west .and on the eastern seaboard
where the greatest need for help Is
expected.
Certain conditions must be met
by the hiring farmers before the
commission, working with limited
funds, transports the contracted
workera. These conditions are:
A minimum wage of 30 cents
an hour, or an equivalent piece
rate. (Wage boards will determine
the prevailing wage in given
areas.)
A guarantee of employment for
at least 75 per cent of the working
time in the contract period.
Adequate health, housing and
sanitary facilities will be required
Minimum housing standards, sub
ject to local adaptations, state
that no more than three single
workers, or more than four family
members to a 12 by 14 floor space
will be permitted.
There also must be facilities foi
cooking, sleeping, laundry, bath
ing, and adequate sanitary toilet*
and means of waste disposal
Rents will be agreed to’ before
recruitment and included hi the
contract of employment.
The age requirements state that
no minors will he employed ex
cept as permitted by federal and
state laws and policies No child
ren under 16 will be transported
unleaa they uie lueititx'li of a
family of workers. There are no
provisions made lor empiftymeiit
of children under 14 year« of age.
Aa fur purchasing food and
clothing by the workers the ug i re
men t which they sign atatea they
can make their purchaaea at any
■tore they choose.
Further leqquirviiients of cm-
ployers, or gmups employing
transient workers, are that up to
200 miles they will have to pay
the coals of transportation and
subsistence. Above that mileage
the Farm Security admiiUatiatlon
will furnish the funds.
