DR. CLINTON J. HYDE The Way Out From childhood to old age health is very much a matter of sound, refresh- ing sleep. No one can digest well work well, feel well or be well who is, night after night, deprived of good sleep. It is physioally impossible for any brain to keep on providing nerv- ous enmergy unless the nights are de voted to nourishing its used-up parts. Protracted sleeplessness, where no ef- | fort is made to feed and calm the ir- ritable nervous system, ends in nerv- ous prostration and insanity. Sleeplessness is in most cases the result of worry, uncertainty, appre- hension. It is not pain or want that eats out our hearts, it is the fear of want, the fear of the future that mpakes you toss around in your bed, thinking, brooding, seeing specters of disasters before you and in the morn- ing you rise with feverish eyes, drag | yourself almost lifeless to your daily work and return exhausted, unable to find bodily or mental rest. You have placed yourself in what | the philosophers call “a viclous cir- e’ The weaker you get the more 1 Worry; the more you worry the less you sleep, and the less you sleep the weaker you get, and there you .are at the stafting point again. Tn- slde this narrow circle you trot along, believing yourself unable to break it, until at last you fall ex- hausted and give wup all further struggle. You have built your own prison; you are your own jailer. You can be your own deliverer. Do you know that most of your troubles never happen? Do you know that the light of health will shine upon you as soon as you make the right effort? You cannot see it now; your ey are bedimmed; you cannot conceive it> now; your brains are befogged. But I can show you the way out. And when you have found it you will wonder how you could ever miss i)r.C!énton J.Hyde Specialist in Nervous and Chronic - Discases.

OHIO INQUIRES INTO COAL COSTS Public Utilities Commission Making Effort to Get Number of Cars in Use—Prices in State Columbus O., Oct. 31.—The state public utilities commission today sent telegrams to officials of all railroads operating in Ohio, ordering them to file not later than Thursday a state- ment showing the number of coal cars loaded and in transit or at stations along their lines on Oct. 30 and show- ing the number of days detention be- cause of demurrage. This action was taken by the commission as a part of its investigation of the alleged coal car shortage situation in Ohio with re- lation to the high cost of coal. Because of the high price of coal asked by dealers, the city of Conneaut, Ohio, has gone into the retail coal business. Today it was selling fuel on hand for its municipal lighting plant to households at $4.50 per ton. Soft coal sold today at Cleveland at from $6.50 to $7.50 a ton and hard coal from $9.25 to $9.75.

Press.) Yokohama, Oct. 21.—The Yoko- hama branch of the Deutsch-Asiati- sche bank has been closed by order of the Japanese government and all its business suspended. This shutting up of the only German bank in Japan will serlously affect German prison- crs of war whose deposits formed the largest part of the business. It is es- timated that deposits of about 4,000 German prisoners are locked up until the official ban on the institution is removed which will probably not be until the closing of the war. The total deposits by Germans are es- timated to be 3,000,000 yen or about $1,500,000. Japanese papers which led a cam- paign last spring for more vigorous measures against German residents and German institutions in Japan express satisfaction over the closing of the bank.

Rome, Oct. 20.—That the war. will result in a rebirth of architectural art, in vaster and more beautiful build- ings than the Coliseum or the Amer- ican skyscraper, is the opinion of Dr. Jesse Benedict Carter, director of the American Academy in Rome, who has just been appointed by the French governor to deliver the Harvard se- ries of lectures this winter before twelve of its provincial universities. Dr. Carter expressed this opinion in the Roman Forum during an in- terview with The ‘Associated Press, just after his first annual lecture there, a lecture which was attended by Ambassador Thomas Nelson Page and other Americans. Said Dr. Car- térs. “An art renaissance has two basic requirements, first, a crisis, then the contributed wealth of a few peo- ple. This war has furnished both. Let me explain the second require- ment. While this war has impov- erished a majority of the people of Europe it has enriched a lot of con- tractors and munition manufacturers who after the war will have more money than they can spend. Such men have ever become art patrons, stimulators, rather than buyers of old art treasures, as happens in countries where there are a great many mil- war will surely bring a healthy reaction of art. It means the death of cubism and other follies. It will bring the intense suffering and the sympathy therefor which results in great art productions. One of the peculiarities of the new artistic tem- perament will be an apparent indif- ference to suffering. I have ob- served "during my war travels every- where this apparent indifference among people who I knew were suf- fering desperate personal losses. “The new . art mind will turn out products that will astonish by their beauty and by their bigne This was has been an inconceivably im- mense thing, and it is making our minds accustomed to immeasurably big objects. “I look for American art to go for- ward, to get the inspiration of the war and to continue to lead the world, not only In bigness but ia beauty.” NITRATE WORKERS STRIKE.
