Likewise we can sleep too much. That too much sleep dulls the brain Is tbe almost universal testimony of those who have made tbe experiment. Yet it is equally the testimony of those who have been deprived of their normal hours of sleep that its loss imposes a severe tax on physical energies. With tbe average man sustained mental activity will in time so exhaust the body that it can be restored only by sleep. Some people eat more than others; it requires more "fuel" to teed soma bodies than othefs; some people require more beat than others.

It is tba same with sleep. Some men fare better on six hours sleep than they do on eight. Others find it impossible to sustain the body on less than eight hours of sleep, and others find an hour more profitable. It depends a good deal of course on the activities of the individual as to bis requirements for sleep. Mental energy, by and large, requires less sleep than sustained physical labors.

To the city whare are divers plots among tbe politicians to lay hands on the speaker of the house ot lords, since by common agreement the speakership of the commons goes to Sir Selden Maiden Of Greenfield.

What nature, with the aid ot medicine than anyone else for the reason that they had Just got up. None had that week-day hectic demeanor, because they weren't going anywhere and didn't need to beat the other fellow in getting dldate. The late Col. John H. Savage, "old Man of the Mountains," whose political career began about that time, declared that Polk, of whom fte was a most ardent supporter, would hate carried the state had It been for an error in 'some of the ballots distributed to certain sec-it tkms In those days the voters cast open ballots; it was long before the secret or Australian system was ever dreamed of.

Col. Savage is authority for the statement that there were hundred ballots cast in the state which contained the names of Polk and Dallas Instead of the names of the Democratic electors 'and that when the returns were canvassed vtafeso tickets vera necessarily thrown out In any event Polk goes down In history as tua only President thus far elected who did not carry his own state, for Wilson received tho electoral vote of New Jersey In his first election.

These are specimens selected from many questions which should not be asked, for I givevno medical advice In any case. Correspondents who comply with the rules and confine themselves to matters of health and hygiene will Invariably receive my personal attention and, when it is possible, the best answer I can give. Others should not encroach on the time which belongs to correspondents who comply with the rules. I may say to L. H.

0. that the blood in health contains a certain amount of uric acid, atid chemical tesas reveal that the amount is increased In numerous disease conditions, but merely as a consequence or one feature of the Illness and not as a cause of illness. Swimming Pool Sanitation. I distrust the sanitary care given tho swimming pool which I frequeut. To avoid eye infections should one use something like boric acid after swimming in a pool? 1 have noticed some swimmers coating tbe nasal passages with petroiatum before entering the pool.

Is that a protection against infection? How about painting the throat with tennin to harden it against infection? S. J. F. Auswer. I doubt whether the use of petrolatum or tennin or any similar agents will prevent infection.

But the use of a simple boric acid" eye wash would do no harm and mav rlo some good. Use a solution of about a teaspoonful of boric acid to the pint of boiled water have it comfortably warm when putting it in the eyes. The same boric acid solution might be used to gargle the throat on leaving the pool. Some swimmers Insert loose plugs of cotton saturated with petrolatum In the nostrils before entering the pool, and breathe through the mouth while swimming. This probably does prevent many threctlons.

Even with properly managed change of water, one must take some chance of infection when sharing a bath with other persons. Then, too, some public swimming pools are open to persons who harbor communicable disease no reasonable medical inspection to guard against this danger. Finally, not a few patrons are carriers of Infection chronic Blnus, nasal, ear or other lesions which they feel under no obligation to mention.

An art gallery with pne hun Governor Peay in his address, perhaps, indicated the general impression with respect of this institution when he said: "There is no doubt that Bryan university should take its place among the 'notable' institutions of the South and the nation."

The projectors of Bryan university have a right to expect and to demand from the funda- dred and fifty paintings will no nount vie with the glorified orchestra pit which will be ville a stability that cannot be counted on In other Southern cities. Misfortune in the cotton market affects Nashville, because cotton is such a gigantio factor In Southern commerce and industry that any condition in it Is reflected somewhat In the flow of business not only in the cities of the cotton belt but also in those that lie on the outskirts of that region. But the effect of fluctuations in the price of cotton, either upward or downward.

Is not so distinct in Nash-ville a lt'is fn Atlanta, Memphis, Houston and other cities in the denser cotton producing area. Nashville business does not depend on one nest for all of its golden eggs, nor put all of its eggs in one basket. The rich agricultural country tributary to Nashville has long been given over to diversified crops and live stock production. Tobacco and wheat dominate agriculture in this region no more than cotton. That system of diversification now being advocated so wisely as the remedy for the financial ills of the cotton belt has been the system of farming in this section for almost fifty years.

Consequently business in Nashville is uever subjected to tbe violent stimulations and depressions that upset the normal process o( commerce and industry, which is more to be desired than the tempting profits of a boom only to be followed by a depressing reaction. As a result of the abnormally large cotton crop and attendant low price, business In many other Southern cities has drifted into an eddy if not into stagnation, but In Nashville business is proceeding along its normal course, not entirely unaffected by the cotton misfortune but limpid and rippling. That is the reward, the fruit of diversification on farms that are not devoted entirely to cotton, not because they cannot produce cotton but because the folly of the one crop system was realized many years ago. Farmers In this section forthe most part now produce staple food crops for market and home consumption along with money crops like cotton and tobacco. As we stand within the penumbra of the cotton crisis shadow, it Is well for the city dweller, who may ordinarily give little thought to the importance of farming In his schema of prosperity, to view conditions In cities that depend almost wholly upon cotton as the foundation of their business structure.

Nashville's business structure does not rest upon a cotton foundation, cotton serving only as one element of the structure Itself. Consequently business here is not suffering the pangs that have gripped business elsewhere in the South. Other sections of the South may with much profit study conditions here as being indicative of what their conditions would be if t'uelr farming interests were commltteed to diversification. Methods of relief from a cotton crisis, like the admirable plan for withdrawing four million bales from the market this year and attempting to reduce tho acreage to be planted to cotton next year, are at best but temporary. Temporary relief from an evil is not satisfying.

The evil of cotton domination in a'large portion of the agricultural South will recur with disconcerting frequency if a permanent method of relief is not adopted. Tho surest method of relief is diversification. That lias been demonstrated in tho Nashville area since cotton was relrgateif to a minor place la the farming program. It can be applied to any other section of the South, to tho whole South, with as much efficacy ns in Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky. This comment is marlc with no Reeling of boastful elation over our almost complete immunity Irom tbe baneful effect of a cotton crisis, but with the desire that other sectfons of the South seeing, tbe freedom from distress in a.

sectlou that diversifies its airrieulure may be led to freedom from the domination of lifted into view and then transplanted, mu There Is hardly a problem of today that is more difficult of solution by the municipal authority than that of regulating traffic. It is of course obvious that the lanes of communication must be kept open; that, as far as possible, congestion must be avoided. That Is difficult with the ever growing volume of traffic and the narrow lanes that are characteristic of old cities like Nashville. Our forefathers assuredly were blessed with prophetic vision when they laid broad and deep the foundations of our civil structuure, but they never dreamed of the material and physical changes that would come and which multiply our difficulties. Of course if they had for a moment envisioned the great cities that in a few years would be builded upon -foundations laid for villages, the situation would have been less appalling than It ts.

Nashville is one of the nation's old cities, 8 age Is counted in America. It has narrow Streets in the business districts. The automobile has added to the difficulties. It is elemental that the real solution of any problem lies In finding that plan that will work the least to any legitimate interest.
