HOT WATER BED IS RESTFUL Four Hours’ Sleep In Bathtub Said to Be Equal to Eight of Usual Kind. Sleeping in a bath tub full of water kept at blood temperature is claimed by some physicians to give tho required amount of rest in half tho time that sleeping in n bed requires. Popular Science Mon hly says. In other words, four hours’ sleep in a bathtub filled with water at the proper temperature—and always maintained at that tomperat rs—will result in the exact amount of restfulness that eight hours in bed will give. The explanation is that warm water completely relaxes the nerves, which ordinary sleep does not necessarily do. The most difficult part of this treatment is in maintaining the water at a constant temperature, and for the purpose of accomplishing the result a middle western manufacturer has recently brought out on tho market a thermostatic water-control apparatus, which, as its name implies, maintains the water at any desired temperature. In practice, the patient climbs into a bath tub filled with water, his head protruding through a hole in a rubber blanket, which is strapped around the edges of the tub. Water constantly flows in at one end of the tub and out at the other. For the harried business man, who complains that his working day is too short, such a sleeping copch as this should have a distinct appeal. M He should be willing to rest four hours at least. NOT FAULT OF CHILDREN Many Reasons Advanced for Cases of Truancy Reported in the Schools of the Country. The average public-school truant is a physical defective and has an abnormal blood pressure, equal to that of a man of twenty-five. This is the conclusion reached after a scientific study of eighty typical truants in New York city. Only seven of the group were found free from physical drawbacks, which the Investigators enumerate as follows: Bad teeth, 73: vision, 17; defective nutrition, 21; trouble with their feet, 20; tobacco ssers, GO; alcohol drinkers, 19. Those who did not breath right made up 10 per cent of the 80 truants; enlarged tonsils, 10 per cent; difficult hearing, 7 per cent; heart ailment, 5 per cent. As to high blood pressure among the truants, this was verified by examination of inmates at the parental school. There the boys, on admission, almost uniformly show an abnormal pressure which usually is reduced to the normal after two or three months’ stay in the institution. According to the school authorities, 49 per cent of the pupils have something the matter with their teeth. Truancy is due not only to physical defects, the investigators found, but is chargeable to poor digestion, crowded classes, improperly trained teachers, lack of special studies and classes and wrong home influences. Early Breaking Down. Apparently the most significant result of the various changes in our living habits is found in our declining power to resist the strain of life on the heart, arteries, kidneys and the nervous and digestive systems, remarks Science. Compared with past decades, the increase in mortality from the early breaking down ot these organs is very marked. The records of the last census show that the increase continues in the younger as well as the older age groups. This points to the shortening of the valuable productive period of life. These indications are well attested. They. cannot be disposed of by the easy; process of denying the statistics with- j out investigation. Nor can the extra- ■ ordinary increase in cancer be explained in this convenient way. The i early breaking down of these impor- ( tant organs points to a decline in the vitality of our people in the mature and most useful period of their lives, and presents a phase of the problem meriting the most careful study and consideration. Open-Air Court of Justice. The capital of Montenegro consists of one long street, in which stands the Tree of Justice, under which the king dispenses law and equity in true' patriarchal style. No stranger could pick out his majesty or his family from the rest of the crowd. In daily life the Montenegrins are eminently ! republican. A group of three or four, may be :een smoking pipes round a table, or enjoying an evening stroll, all dressed alike, with an arsenal of knives and pistols in their belts, and tire universal “strouka,” or boat’s-hair blanket, over their shoulders. One is, i' perhaps, the minister of war, the sec-j ond a tailor, the third a farmer, the fourth the president of the senate and the fifth the minister of finance. Employed the Free Gift. Last Christmas a teacher in a school made up of foreigners, Germans, Italians,' Hebrews, Russians and Roumanians, gave each budding hy- | phenated American a small figure ,of I i the Madonna. The small statue' was received with joy by each, but grimaces that showed exceeding joy illuminated the face of one of them so that the teacher watched him with interest until he asked in staccato tones: “Do you know vy I like dis? i Because I get somding for nodding." j —tadiaaapolis News,
