DOCTOR HALE ON WOMAN'S WORK,
In his Monthly Talk in the Wo
man’s Home Companion Dr. Ed
ward Everett Hale says;
“Will you please to remember
that the bottom rock of American
success is the habit or determa
tion that every place, village,
town, neighborhood, or whatever
you call it, shall have home rule.
If I and Mr. Gcodchild want to
have a road and a bridge which
shall go back to the rhododendron
swamp, we build the road and we
build the bridge with such help as
we can get from Mrs. Tucker or
from Mr. Ohamplin, and we do
not write to a sub-perfect who
writes to a perfect who writes to
an assistant commandant who
writes to another commandant
who writes to an intendent who
writes to a secretary of engmew
who sends word to us from the
scat of government whether we
may build the bridge and how we
may build it. Lift where you
stand expresses the foundatimi
principle, the subsoil, the hard
pan, the bed rock of American
life.
“Now, a very queer thing has
developed in the evolution of this
principle. It has proved that
where the men of the country
have been too busy, or have
thought they were, to attend l<>
their own affairs, the women have
been ahle to attend to them bet
ter than the men do.
“Take this business which 1
have referred to, of a neighbor
hood library, feeding a regi-n of
not more than four or five thou
sand people. The affairs of that
library, if they ar'e well conducted,
are conducted by the women of
the neighborhood. They know
what their children want, tln-y
know what their husbands need.
And it is very fortunate for the
neighborhood and the library
that they can harness the hor<--- -
and can drive themselves to tier
meetings of trustees and seh-et
the books and tell Mis- Dorca
hnw manv she may buy."
Fo rme i! Tennessee Woman
Suicides.
“1 could not bring a single hope
into my life or joy to my heart, so
wherefore tlie struggle; all whom
,1 have ever loved have passed on
I before. 1 should like you to feel
i that it is a surrender of a strong,
proud soul.’’ Thus wrote Mrs. 0.
A. Walton,formerly of Flat Creek,
j Tenn , to a friend before swnllow
-5 ing poison". I jioti the death of her
: husband she opeifed a millinery
j establishment in San Fiaiciseo
and prospered until the earth
quake impoverished her.

| SOME HINTS FOR THE SLEEPLESS.
■j Many find themselves unable to
•j sleep until the whole household is
: accounted for and the house lock
■ ed for the night, until certain
news is received, and the like.
.The same tendency postpones
sleep till all affairs are straighten
ed out in the mind, as well as in
reality. A little retlectin shows
; how indefinite must be the post
ijponemenfc of sleep under such
( conditions.
1 No training is more important
I for the victim of compulsive tend
leucies than the practice of trust
’! ing something to luck and to the
' morrow, and reconciling himself
t to the fact that at no time, in this
j world will all things be finally ad
,:-justed to his satisfaction.
| Next comes the insistent desire
to sleep in a certain bed, with a
certain degree of light or dark
| ness, heat or cold, air or absence
lof air. This is in line with the
j desire to eat certain foods only, at
-'a certain table and at a certain
| time. The man who loses his up
petite if dinner is half an hour
I late is unable to sleep again if
j once waked up. This individual
' must say to himself. “Anyone
lean stand what lie likes; it takes
j.a philosopher so stand what he
j does not like,’’and try at being
‘ a philosopher instead of a sensi
|live plant.
Inability, to sleep while certain
noises are continued must besiin
ilary combated. If one goes from
| place to place in search of the
quiet spot of slcpcp. lie may final
i iy fiiiiNquiet itr.Jl oppressive, or,
worse yet, may lie kept awake by
hearing his own circulation, from
which escape is out of the ques
, tion.
He who finds himself persistent
• Iv out of joint with his surround
ings will do well to ponder the
language of the Chinese philoso
ipher:
“The itrg* of the stork are long,
'the legs of the duck are short;
i you cannot make the legs of the
j stork short, neither can you make
I the legs of the duck long. Why
worry?”
