It is this sort of thing that hiereaes popular disgust -with politic ians. Individually they'inay be, and often are, good business men, but as soon as they are elected to conduct the people's business, they seem to utterly ignore common business principles and proceed to conduct the people's affairs as if they alone had an interest in them. If certain changes in the rules were so important, there is no reason why the leaders of the congress could not have had a preliminary meeting and made the same arrangements as have been made today. But that would be too business-like. In public life, everything lias to be done in a political way, which means everything lias to bo done with a maximum of talk and a minimum of action. - . - Not only has this horse play resulted in two days' enforced idle ness in the senate, the delay of the president's speech which is par ticularly irritating to us for we have the speech in type, all ready lo shoot, but it arouses a feeling of public aversion and hostility toward the entire congressional business, which particularly at the present time, the' administration LOOKS BAD T T NDKR the circumstances the KJ South Dakota iquitu surprising.

If South Dakota is in this sort of mood, what about the conserva tive east and less radical south and far west. Small wonder the administration is delighted.

Personal Health Service By WILLIAM BRADY, M.

Address Dr. William Brady, In care of this newspaper. The Doso rinrt nf the. theories Of normal sleep Is that it is brought ubout by the nc- umulation of acid waste oroducts In the blood to a concentration sul- flcient to induce fatigue In the lira In colls, which it'HultH finally in Hufftclent depres- Hion of their activ ity to suppress consciouHness. The constant activity of muscles during the waking hours even tho the in dividual sit in a ehulr op lie abed all the time us well as the,oonstnnt activity of the heart muuclo-and various glands of the body cause K Kradual accumulation of acid waste products, particularly lactic iiHid nomnoundH. Mince their oxida tion and removnl oiJ destruction 'can not keep pace with their production. Tho accumulation of lactic acid com pounds In the muscles is known to be the direct cause of fatigue. If lactic acid or Ur sodium salt' be injected into the bUood It will bring on a con dition of fatigue and finally a state of unconsciousness. The brain cells in activity utso produce acid wastes, thouRh In far less quantity than the muHclcs do. Muscular activity, .either work or play, Is more effective as n sleep producer than more brain or "nervous" activity. The normal child who plays actively needs relatively more sleep than the rreak or abnor mal child who does not play hard. The laborer nnd the athlyte need rela tively more sleep than tho person who lives by his wits or prefers sports to Kames. Another theory is that sleep is due to dltnlnlKhed blood flow to the brain colls. I'.y means of a Klass plate in the skull psyioloKlsts have observed that tho brain becomes paler during sleep; It is well known that the pulse rate slows and tho blood pressure falls and the size of the limbs in. creases from tho, greater mount ; of blood distributed to the extremettes. Circulation -In the brain is not auto matically controlled or regulated by vnso-niotor "nerve control .(contraction or dilation of tho arterioles.) as it is in tho body-generally. The brain cir. culatlon Is indirectly regulated by the circulation in other parts of the body, j Thus' when tho blood vessels in other parts of the body relax or dilate so that they hold more blood, the ves-1 sels within the skull receive less blood, because the blood is shunted else where. Thus it in hard to woo sleep when your feet are cold; a stiff dose of alcohol, which 'flushes the surface, conduces to drowsiness, though po litely cftlled "stimulant." Of course wo do not know cer tainly what the state of blood supply to the Internal organs other than the brain may bo during sleep, but we j believe they share in the flush which j Is present in the vessels of the sur-1 face and the extremities. There Is no' doubt that it is normal nnd natural "JUST TOWN TALK" Copied Right Br Hike SOMIS FOUCS , i HARI10H THE idea ''" THAT TRUE economy v - - CONSISTS IN dochllnff ...

And a bed time lunch helps a great many people to sleep better, perhaps the prejudice against going to bed "on a full atom- ach comes from the unwise practice of overeating or indulging in im pnoper food and drink late at night. . As regards children let 'em sleep on a full stomach; they'll sleep all right.' It is a fine time 'to use the blood for digestion when you don't need it in -your head.

The specialist de clared that there Is a calming or seda. tlvo influence In watching tho gentle, lazy, constant-, movements of tho fiah. N. H. Answer I can readily imagine how soothing It might be for some people to sit and watch the goldfish, people who would bo driven wild by the con stant movements of. a small flock' of children around the place. That's the great advantage of goldfish overyother household pets they don't dnmage the Oriental rugs or well, you know how it Is. Study for Prnplleal Nurse. Would you recommend a widow who has dond some practical nursing for doctors in her vicinity to take a course of study with one of the cor respondence schools of nursing? H. O. . .

For practical nurses and home nursing a new book by Emma Louise IMohs, a nurse, hus just been published by W. B. Saunders com pnny, Philadelphia, with the title of "Home Nursing.'' ' ' ! Cure for Drunkenness? Kindly send me the cure for drunk enness something-that can be given secretly. The man I want it for Is going insane. Mrs. M. K. . B. Answer there is no such cure. If tho man really wishes to be cured he must-arrange for treatment in a hos pital or other Institution where proper nursing enn be had. Any good phy sician can treat him successfully, for instance with the method given ' to the profession 15 years ago by Dr. Alexander Lambert.

During the summer 130 men were employed at tlie mill nnd fac tory of the Tomlin Box company, two shifts being employed during this period. At the present time 70 men are at work. The Olds Lum ber company employed an average of 300 men at their mill, in the woods and at work 'on their railroad.

As r have often said it isn't the trouble with marriage. The trouble lies with folks who nre married to each other. The mistakes made in selectlon are to blame. The girl who marries the first likely fellow who can give her a good home never has a good home, even if there are real Chinese rugs In her parlor nnd a white enumeled range in her kitchen. For to possess a good home a GOOD home, there must be easy content happy hearts and a feeling of satisfaction with tho world. Goodness knows, marriage is adorned with common places and not with glittering stars nnd strings of gold and silver like we adorn tho tree on Christmas Eve. There are even dull evenings, tire some breakfasts, nerve-trying dinners and constant wear and tear of the necessary Intimacies of married life which would "try the patience of Job." Where there is love nnd toler ance these commonplaces are only tiresome nnd easily borne. Hut where there has never been any real honest love, these common-places be come real tragedies, nnd of course, wreckage ensues. Hut after all, there can be no set formula for Insuring happiness in marriage. . Many who nre married on impulse live con tentedly and even happily for years and years and the divorce court never catches them in its cruel claws. Mar- ringe Is -a game of give and take or it may be one of give OH tnke. In either cane, it can be made a success if oven only ONE of the two most concerned loves the. other. For to love means to yield and to make sac rifices and toG!VK. -And to give chverfully. abundantly. Copyright John F. Dllle Co.)
