Accordingly the ph siciaal wrote the directions down, namely, that the young man was to drink hot water be- fore breakfast every morning, The pat- ient took his leave and in a week he re- turned.

Reasons Why It is Better Done in the Morning Rather Than at Night. "You wouldn't think," said a watch- nutker, "that it would make any differ- ence whether a watch ie wound up in the morning or at night, but it does make considerable difference, "When a watch is wound up at night, , coating out of a warm pocket, and laid:,. down or hung up in a cool place, the mainspring will contract by the cooling off of the metals, Being wound up tight- ly all chance of contracting has been: shut off and the spring is bound to break, If, however, the watch is wound up in the morning, having pertly run down-:' through the night, there is room enough left in the barrel to contract. Another reaaen why it should be wound up in Ole morning is that the spring will thonf,ave more power and thus will be in a better condition to resist the disturhing move- ments of the bearer during the daytime. "Being generally in a horizontal posi- tion during tho night and running with leas power the horizontal position, in. which the balance runs more freely, will operate to make the length of the swing' of the balance wheel during the night. as nearly as possible the same as in the daytime."

He had only a little boat, but he wanted to make as mnoh noise as anybody on the river. "And isn't it so, by the way, with our friends the automobilists?
