Several of his gardener friends, after admiring Mm fruit, advised him to send fUk exhibit to the local horticul- inral show.

Is it customary to serve CTeam with after--dinner coffee? 4. When playing cards for a worth-while prize, and one's part- ner makes an inexcusable blund- er, isn't one justified in showing a cenain amount of irritability? 6. When a guest is refusing a certain dish that is passed, isn't it rude for this guest to say, "Beans (or \vha;ever it is) do not agree with me"? 6. Is "Bye-bye"' an acceptable 'form of taking leave? Answers 1. Yes, by ail means do so. Your vacation will not be nearly as enjoyable if you do not. 2. "My dear Mrs. Watson,'' or, "My dear Mr. Young." This is more formal than "Dear Mrs. Watson," and "Dear Mr. Young.'' 3. It ia not customary to do so. 4. Never. A good sportsman is always self- possessed and patient. 5.

Previous tests with water having a small nitrate content increased it by 800 per cent. In the fertil- iznig experiments now in progress, a small plough is used to turn the soil, and the ordinary voltage.s used are stepped up to 15,000 volts. It Is hoped that in time electric fertilization will eliminate expensive and tedious nianurin?. HEALTH TOPICS CAUSE OF INSOMNIA It would seem that the matlfi- of sleep and relaxation Is now the •ubject of mucii thought and con- versation becaiise. during the last few years and at present, more and more Individuals are finding it dif- ficult to get •'sufficient" sleep. A study of the sleep habits of BO women who had recovered from Blight mental or behavior disturb- ances and who did not complain of insomnia, were observed for three months In an observation hospital and report&d by Dr. Louie J. Kar- noeh. Cleveland, In the Journal of the American Medical Association. The period of sleep varied from S^ to 8 hours. Age. temperament and diet did not seem to influence the amount or degree of sleep. "On the other hand, excitement due to visits by relatives, argu- ments or disagreements with other patients or atendanis. and holidays with the emotion or excitement that occurs at these times, were de- finitely to blsn>« tor breaking the reigular rhytnms of sleep." Mentality "Can't Take It" This shows that it la the ner- vous or mental side of us that Just "can't take it." blows or disturbanc- es and not so much the physical disturbances that prevent us from sleeping. What Is the beet method of bringing on sleep? A good bed. a quiet room, and muscular relaxu- tion â€" keeping arras and legs in a halfhent position -• are most im- portant. How Con I?
