But the modern child probably needs -&ls Test even mora than that child of yesterday, for with the increased excitement and activity of present day • life, it i§ most important that he should have sleep to butld up his .strength. With the additional strain . of fchool life, now being taken up" " again, sleep is even more important than in the summer. : : ' Explaining why sleep Is necessary a Jeadiiig nutritional authority, Dr. Lydia J. Roberts, says; '-A continual -shortage of "'sleep,-,whether' 'cat from the e\ening or morning end of the ^- v,' day's quota, may adversely affect the -nutrition of the chHd In at least two ;"Vay.s. D.urifigsleeV the, body processes .' •'i;>'»lo£' down and the need for energy is . the least the bod; cari evfr require; V •. "awake and active, the needs are -greatly increased. Thus every hour pt awake activity stolen from the Jsieep quota, increases the fuel nee<lj> y the' body. Unless more food lis • \eaten to. compensate, the body tissues .i are burned and loss of weight folif'iows; But in addition loss of sleep • results in' a hyper-irritable nervous system, and' nerVpus tension still further increases the food needs, while iat the same time it usually diminishes the desire for food. Thus a lack of sleep tends to produce a nervous, irritable, undernourished child." At six to seven years of age the child needs about 12 hours' sleep every night; the eight to teh-year-old needs eleven hours.; the child of eleven Or twelve should have ten or eleven hours; the adolescent of thirteen to fifteen years "still needs from, ten to twelve hours; and the' sixteen to eighteen, year olds should have nine . or ,ten hours. It is^this last age group, that is most apt to slight the hours of slcjep . --the athletes Who have training rules ' to keep are probably the orilv ones who keep to such a schedule with any .'regularity.

A regular bedtime hour should : be established; then make* bedtime a pleasant period, rather thafr a punishment, making the half hour before retiring something to anticipate by having story telling or. quiet games. It Is a gopd idea to go into the room with the child to* see that he is tucked in and comfortably settled; and of course see that the room is at comfortable temperature-- about fifty degrees Fahrenheit if pos* sible with plenty of fresh air--and as free from noise as possible. A glflss of warm milk at bedtime is helpful, in relaxing the child. Not only sleep but a certain amount of rest and relaxation is essential.. After school the child should not have; to start on other lessons such as mu?" sic, dancing or dramatic work. Nor. .should he have' much home work to do. There should be at least two hours in his day which he can spend as he chooses. Selfishly considered, parents should be vitally interested in seeing that their children have ample fest and sleep, for, as Doctor Roberts points out? a child suffering from sleeplessness Is a: .nervous, troublesome one.

What the Owls Eat Practically 75 per cent of the food eaten by the barn, long and short eared, barred and screech owls consists of rats, mice, gophers, chipmunks and other ground vermin and less than 8 per cent is poultry and game birds. The balance of their diet consists of Insects. These percentages were determined over a period of years by federal biologists who made minute examinations of the stomach contents of birds captured for the purpose.

BISHOP OF ROCHESTER "Voyage to Tahiti" Ends in Disaster f'i J. > The best method of dehorning is to use caustic potash on the extremely young,calf. This may be obtained in stick form at any drug store, .To use this method successfully, the calf's hortis should be treated! with .caustic potash as soon ,as the buttons rappear, which will be from seven to fourteen days, of age. The small but- "tons are the future horns and may be easily located by the fingers. The long hair is clipped away from the buttons with an ordinary pair of scissors or shears. A circle of grease should then be placed around the horn, making a considerable ridge above the eye so that none of the liquid containing paustic potash-will get into the eye. The stick of caustic potash is then moistened a trifle and rubbed vigorously on the small horn until the flesh is considerably reddened and? at the point of bleeding. It is not advisable to continue the applicatioiTaTfer bleeding starts. If su^icient caustic potash has been applied, a dent will be felt in the ^skult after a few days, and no horns will ever develop. Care must be used to avoid getting too much water on the caustic ^potash, or it may run down the sides of the animal's head, taking off hair and even getting into the eyes, with serious results. Ohio Wheat Now Safer From Black Stem Rust Eradication of more than ,two million common barberry bushes in Ohio In the past decade has rendered wheat growing safe from black stem rust disease In practically all ,of the im-r portant wheat producing section* of; the state. A survey of the Ohio wheat crop by W. G. Stover, filant pathologist for the Ohio State university, shows that rust epidemics are local and few this year. , . Only In one locality was the wheat eroji ruined by black stem. rust. Ten years ago fields. lost from infections of the disease were common, Stover declares. The common barberry Is the host to the organism that causes wheat rust, In early spring. Eradication of the bushes greatly reduces-posslbility of rust epidemics. Wherever lr. Ohio severe local outbreaks of wheat rust occur, a search will discover common barberry nearby. Funds for the destruction of the bushes are provided by the state and federal governments. -- - -- -- • ' Slump in Farm Lands Average value per acre of farm land in the United States March lt this year, was 73 per cent of the average for the years 1912 to 1914 as reported by the Department of Agriculture. The corresponding Index a year ago was 89, and two years ago 100. Values for the entire country are about 43 per cent of those in the high record year, 1920. Greatest decline occurred in Jowa where this year's value Index is 58, compared with 80 a year ago, and 213 In 1920. The figures indicate that average value per acre in that state is only about a fourth that of 1920. lit. Rev. Edward Moone.v, apostolic delegate to Japan, has been appointed bishop of Rochester, N.

Tliey had wit, beauty and family. They were the toast of the South. Jpiree of them married successfully^ almost brilliantly, moved to New . York and settled down to a smug respectability. The plantation was rented and the Lovely family pjrepared for a new generation--all except Smif. The old ancestral home which she loved was gone, and she had no new home or family of her own. Belonging neither to one generation nor the other, adored by both, she was left alone-in between. The handsomest of the girls in her youth, the pet of the family, no end jolly, grown a little too fat, a.little too "aet" in her, ways--did these things deter Smif? Not by.a long shot! For the first time she was free and unaccountable. If adventure and romance and slenderness and Lovelylea woiildn't come to her, she would go out after them. Wasn't she clever and resourceful? This is the story of how she became Madame Saitou, a little sister to the~Bch, gave advice to a man who wanted to be rid of his next door neighbor, had a time with, blackmailers, encountered the heavenly Culpepper twins, and changed the life of almost everyone .who knew her and including ^herself. All stories differ to some extent, but the great majority follow more or less established lines as to plot and characters. "The Fourth Lovely Lady" departs from, these established lines in many ways. Smif is unusual as a character, and her activities create an unusual plot. But Smif is real. Every reader can easily imagine just such a Character among her or his acquaintances. She "is distinctly human and sees the human side of life. "The Fourth LoveiyLady" is not a problem story. Its purpose is to amuse and entertain the reader, and it will do those things for every reader. With Smif as a leading character, and her sisters and others as a background, Therese Benson has created the best of her numerous good stories. f This very interesting story .. starts in this issue of The McHENRY PLAINDEALER Each week an enstallment will appear until the complete novel is finished.
