Address Dr. W. 1. Se , in care of The Durham Chronicle. When but little is known about a subject, that subject is a good one for speculation. Sleep is such a subject. Hence, it furnishes good material for the making of theo- ries, both reasonable and wild. Some of those who theo- rize about slee immediately wish to put their theory into practice. An this regardless of whether or not the theory rests upon a sound scientific foundation. An idpa more or less frequsntly' mlvancml nowadays is that we slm'p too much.

He noted that one common and constant factor was found. His patients were people who have been subject to prolonged tire and loss of rest at the time thoy «qujOIOpoi‘i tho disease. Now this doos not mean, of course, that loss of sloop in itself is tho spocitlc cause of epidemic encephaâ€" litis. It means that prolonged tiro mm make nnn roaclil) suscoptihln to “hatmor infection may be the immodiato oauso of the disoaso. Loss of sleep seems to have been a constant factor working to lower the resistanre and make infection possible. \Vhile the. observations in this instance were made on cases of epidemic encephalitis. it is conceiv- able that loss of sleep may just as readily lower resistance to other in- fections. A possible ill-ell'eet of in- sufficient rest has here been pointed out. Lots of times this condition is merely a bad habit. The bad habit consists in sw allmxing air. often 11n- consc1 iousls. Most people pmhahlx suallo“ a small amount of air oc- casionally. especialix while oat1ng. A certain amount or gas may be formed in the stomach during: an gestion. This is nothing abnoi'mat.

THE DURHAM CHRONICLE N0 DRIVERS’ PERMITS FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS Highway: Department In Not Yet Provided Inchinory for low Law Motor drivers‘ permits will not be issued till probably about the mid- dle of the year, according to the statement of Hon. G. S. Henry, min- ister of highways, Friday. “The law is effective that drivers' permits are to be taken out,” he said, “but we have note provided the machin- ery as yet. The department did not wnsh to undertake this at the same time as the issuing of the motor licenses. It would need an extra staff, and it is proposed to issue the drivers’ permits about the middle of the year." As has been pointed out. there is no space in the 1926 card for regis- tering convictions for breaking traf- flc laws, this being left oi! because of the intention to issue the drivers' card. However. in the interval. the department will have records of in- fractions which can serve it needed for reference. Write for the 180 , Purity Flour Cook I. 30: in ”alps, Maid.
