THE DOMINION BANK ESTABLISHED 1871 SEAFORTH BRANCH R. M. Jones - - Manager RULES FOR SLEEPING SHOULD BE OBSERVED The body works in a rhythm of ac- tivity and rest. The heart which is apparently never at rest does, in fact, rest momentarily between each beat. We require periods of rest and relax- ation, and the most complete rest is that secured during sleep. Individuals differ and no hard and fast rule can be laid down as to the exact amount of sleep that is re- quired by all. Some require more sleep than others; children, par- ticularly, need a great deal. We know that large number of persons would enjoy a greater mea- sure of 'health, woulddo better work and would feel better if they had more rest. Too many starve their bodies of the time that isnecessary for rest in order that they may have more time for work or play. Failure to secure sufficient rest is particularly serious during child- hood. Lack of rest is one of the chief causes of malnutrition. The child who does not have sufficient rest is not able to digest his food properly and so his nutrition suffers because he does not rest enough. Parents cannot rely upon the ap- pearance of the child to guide them with regard to his need for sleep. The thin, over -active child who never says he is tired, who is always on the go and who looks bright and wide-awake at any hour is the very child who is in urgent need of rest. He is burning the candle at 'both ends, and his general health, and well-being will suffer because of his lack of needed rest. During the summer, children are often allowed to stay up late with the result that they do not get the amount of rest they require. Sleeping late in the morning does not make up for going to bed late in the even- ing. The necessary hours of sleep in a room with open windows are: Age Bed- Hours Time of Sleep 5-6 6.30 13 7.30 12 8.00 111,4 8.30 11 9.00 101/2 9,30 10 6-8 8-10 10-12 12-14 14-16 Rising - Time 7.30 7.30 7.30 7.30 7.30 7.30 Children who are not strong, who are not gaining regularly in weight, ncsci extra rest. They should lie down for one hour 'at least after the noon meal. They may not sleep, but the rest which they get while lying down is almost as good as sleep. 'Rest, fresh air, play, and the use of milk, fruits and green vegetables make children strong and keep them well. HOUSEHOLD DISCOVERIES If you have a number of windows that require, new curtains, and if money is scarce, you may find this hint useful. Goto your "self-service" grocer. Buy fi4e outside sugar bags, 20 by 40 inches --very clean and not sticky at all -for which you will be charged 25 cents. One box of old rose dye used to dye the bags -after they are washed well, will give you a set of rose-colored curtains at very small cost. They are nice on sun - rooms, kitchen, or bedrooms. when the windows are casement size. * * * If you do not use the bread box df your kitchen cabinet for bread, re- move sliding lid and enamel the in- side. This makes an excellent drawer in which to keep tea towels, clean dusters, etc. Cutlery drawers enamel- led in the inside are very, easily kept clean. in linseed oil. Allow to remain on for a day or two, then polish with wax and the •scratch will soon dis- appear. By running a tuck an inch from the edge of material before turning up the hem in children's dresses, coats, etc., they are very easily lengthened when needed. The tuck will be on the wrong side of the hem. * * * A wire egg beater, if bent at the join of the handle and large flat part, is excellent for cutting fat in flour. A large silver fork is also good. Children's coat hangers may be cut from heavy cardboard, the hook being made with heavy wire. When hung on• a towel rack placed low on the cupboard door, the child can easily reach them himself. * * * A convenient strainer can.be made by placing a circle of cheesecloth be- tween a pair of embroidery hoops, allowing the centre to sag. * :" * A small piece of emery cloth, tacked to a small block of wood will remove all stains and marks from the top of a •polished steel range. • * * To prevent the water from running down your kitchen pump and taking off the paint, place a spring clothes pin on the spout. * * * The unworn edges hanging over the table can be scalloped and cut to fit the pantry shelves. * * * Have your sewing machine drawer fitted with a board 1-4 inch thick. Space the spools on the board and drive two inch nails through the board. Insert the board in the draw- er with the nail points up, placing your spools on the nails. At a glance you can choose the number and color of thread wanted. TIMELY REPAIR TIPS If the engine runs roughly at idling speeds or produces jerkiness in ac- celerating, that is the car owner's clue to mei-adjusted distributor points. If the engine is designed to have two sets of breaker points, as quite a number have, it may intim- ate that the synchronization between them has been destroyed. * * * The correct procedure in tightening a wheel that fastens at the hub is identical with the old one followed in tightening rim bolts. In other words bolts should be tightened gradually to be sure that alignment is correct. * * * That covered on cup in the toeboard of several cars' is to provide lubrica- tion for the clutch release bearing, one of the hardest working parts of the car. It should have attention ev- ery 250 to 500 miles. * * * If the motor car maker no longer prescribes specified intervals for hav- ing the carbon cleaned and the valves ground, the owner should not think that means the job need not be done at all. It is harder to prescribe defi- nitely nowadays, since the presence of carbon depends largely upon the operator and the operating conditions of the car. * * * A long handled plunger or force cup will be found to be a great labor waver when washing, if used instead •of the washboard. * * * When the belt on yourvacuum breaks and you are unable to replace immediately, a piece the correct width cut from an old inner tube is a very good substitute. * + « 'When one has not sufficient time to allow soup or stew to cool to re- move the fat, try, straining it through four thicknesses of cheese cloth wrung out in the coldest water available. * * 4* After washing and starching the curtains,, out a piece of lace front an old. curtain, dip in starch and place in position over the hole, then petis clean doth over and press with a bot iron. This will dry the patch .on aid no stitches are needed. Rub the sera& with s sa`ft cloth * * * Front wheels of all cars toe -in, or are gathered at the front, to compen- sate for the fact that the wheels tap- er from top to bottom. * * * Never buy any lubricant for the sole reason that it is cheap in price. * * * If the owner of a new ear will look in tie instruction book, he will dis- cover that the manufacturer has talc - en pains to inform him what oil pres- sures should be shown on the dash gauges for certain engine speeds. Pressures carried vary for ; different cars and those for the new machine may be entirely foreign to what the car owner has become accustomed to regard as normal. * * * The, permanent curtains, those that are part of the top, should be folded with especial care when the top is lowered. The place for them is •be- hind the stay straps of the back cur- tain. * * * A. Detroit correspondent points out that there are 000,000 cars in use in the *United States that were built before January' 1, 1926, and that these hers represent almost 85 per cent. of the total registrations in the repub- lie. Such figures are enough to ex- cite the imagination of all sales man- agers acrossi the border. S ATT IN A BLAZE OF GLORIOUS Read over this list of.

Oh, God damn!' was the only sound from a human voice that I thought might, by sheer strength a- lone, reach heaven." This is the beginning of a story in The New Republic by Hilton But- ler, and it is about as arresting an introduction as we have read in many a long day. Mr. Butler is de- scribing lynch law in action, and as a reporter he has had considerable experience of lynching mobs. Jim was charged with rape, and taken to the hospital where the victim lay was identified by her. A mob tried to get hold of him and failed, but tried again and succeeded. He was staked with heavy chains and dry wood was piled knee-high about him. Ga oline was poured on the wood, and it was set on fire. Jim screamed, prayer and cursed as the flames mounted. One of the log chains that bound him to the pyre broke. His eyes, which were popping with pain, looed hopeful for one brief instant. The other chains held, and he kept repeating his curious oath or prayer until the Ste burnt out his vbiee, and the mob dispensed home- ward for smite. Six hundred people attended the burning of ,T i Ivy, but at the lynch- ing of John Hatfield, another negro, at Ellisville, 'Mississippi, 10,000 were present. Among them was the dis- trict attorney, T. Webber Wilson, later elected to Congress. He stood on the running board of an auto- mobile and made a speech to the mob. Since we do not know what he said we cannot say if it was ef- fective. In the noon edition of the Jackson Daily News, the largest newspaper in the state, it was an- nounced in an eight -column front- page streamer that Hatfield would be lynched promptly at 5 p.m. That was the hour at which he was lynch- ed. He was strung; up to a tree and revolvers and rifles emptied into him. Mr. Butler, who was present in his capacity as reporter, estimated that 2,000 bullets were fired into the body. One of them clipped the rope and the body fell. After that it was cremated. That night a citizen did a brisk trade in selling photographs of the scene. He also exhibited with pride a curious object in a jar of alcohol. It was a finger from Hat- field's hand, which he had hacked off as a souvenir before the man was strung up. Hatfield also was charged with rape, and we have to presume that he was guilty. The idea et • lynchers is that if they murder rapers the crime Will stop. But raping • can- tinues. At least negroes, continue to be charged with it and hanged or burned at the stake. It must be ob- vious that lynching is not a specific cure, except for the individual who is lynched. We have always entertain- ed the view that the lynching of a negro for a crime against a white wo- man demonstrates not the chivalry but, some perverted sex instinct or monstrous jealousy of the lynchers. Of course, they are not conscious of it, or at least are unable to recognize what is stirring in them, and may ev= en feel that it is a kind oft religious impulse. The women who sometimes take part in these affairs, are, no doubt, troubled' with the same sort of vague but disturbing emotion. We do not hear of whites hurrying to lynch a negro who has raped a colored girl, though we should naturally expect that such offences would be commoner than attacks upon white women. The writer in The New Republic says that there are many murders of negroes in the south never listed. A negro is found dead with a battered head and a grinning jury will rettfrrn a verdict to the effect that he met his injuries in a fall from a wagon. In other cases of obvious lynchings he has been told that the' victim ylwas a bad nigger or that he threw stones. No elaborate excuse or apology' is considered necessary in Mississippi and Georgia for removing an 'obnox- ious colored Swan. Mr. Butler else plains that one reason there are few lynchings in industrial sections is that there it is not possible to collect a lynching gang on a few moments' no- tice. A man holding a steady job cannot leave it to take part in a lynching and then return when this civic duty is discharged. But if he is hoeing in a field or picking cotton or hanging round the corner drug store he is available for any kind of diversion. So it happens that the lynching statistics tend to rise and fall with the general figures of em- ployment. When times are good and every- body is employed who wants to work, there •are few lynchings, though nobody suggests, that the rapes are less common then. There is also shown a sharp increase in attempted lynchings. Idleness, therefore, seems to be the necessary companion of viciousness to achieve the burning of a negro at the stake. Mr. Butler says that where the people have other forms of recreation available, such as the radio, the movies, the dance hall, the hotel lobbies and even the pool -rooms, they are less inclined to congregate for a lynching. There is little doubt that it is the general riff -rag' that make up lynching par- ties. People of a better social sta- tion have other ditaersions even if they are not wholly without the oririeins lust that a lynching brings to : the surface.
