SLEEP AN ABSURDITY.
No Reason W hy Men Should (io
To Bed at All. Says l:dison
I Thomas A. liJison, the world
j renowned inventor, has a theory
j ihat people need hide sleep. I'n
, hke many theorists Mr lidison
practices what he preaches and 4
' hours of !eep oui of 24 consiiune
! for him at least, a sutricientiy long
i period of rest. Here is what he
J J said recently in discussing the sub-
iect.
"A people uJvance they arj
less and satisfied with the ompar-
anvely brief illumination nature
has supplied in da light.
"Civilization's march means the
march of artificial illumination adds
ti) the hours of a man's possible
usefulness and interest, and be-
i cause interest means happiness,
i and because to the best men hap
I pmess means willingness to strive.
; "l: very thing which decreases
the sum total of a man's sleep in
: creases the sum total of the man's
! capabilities.
"There is really no reason why
men should go to bed at all, and
the man of the future will spend
far less time in bed than the man
of the past did.
"As a matter of fact a very bit
of architectural figuring will show
that by and by humanity will have
to live in double shifts, so that
there may he room upon the earth
for all the people. W'e are con
quering the enemiea of life at a
great rate. Our increase of life
rate more than makes up for the de
crease in birth rate.
"The war in Hurope is a catas
trophe, but it isn't going to change
the basic facts of life. It will leave
i the world as round as ever, and
! the places left vacant by the slaugh
ter will be filled.
"The day of life in double shifts
will come in spite of war. Medi
cal science will save more lives
this year than war will take, no
matter how terrifically murderous
the war may be.
"1 think (he mmter of sleeping
is one of the serious things which
humanity must begin to study. I
never yet have come to study the
case of a man who has been hurt
by want of sleep.
"As we have advanced in civili
zation the amount of sleep which
we have taken has decreased and
as we further advance it further
will decrease.
"In the old days man went up
and down with sun. A million
years from now he won't go to
bed at all. Really, sleep is an ab
surdity, a bad habit. We can't
suddenly throw off the thralldom
of the habit, but we shall throw it
off."
TWO JOBS LOST.
"There goes a man I might have
married," said Gertie.
"He? Why he married his
stenographer!" said Mable.
"1 know it," replied Gertie. "I
applied for the 'same job just ten
minutes after she was hired."
And For Three Summers Mri. Vin

Any of Her Housework.
Pleasant Hill, N. C.-"l suffered for

Vincent, of this town, "and the third and

prostration, and was scarcely able to

I Cardui is purely vegetable and gentle
acting. Its ingredients have a mild, tonic
effect, on the womanly constitution.
Cardui makes for increased strength,
improves the appetite, tones up the ner

Cardui has helped more than a million !

It will surely do for you, what it has
