Dou you sleep poorly at night, and is it an effort for you to take the necessary amount of food? If so, consult your family physician. Nervousness is one of the three prime causes of insanity. Dr. Walter M. Seward of New York, who passes upon the mental condition of many persons in the course of his work as an examiner in lunacy proceedings, has made a close study of the causes leading to insanity, and places alcoholism at the head of the list. "Reliable statistics from all over the civilized world," he said, "show alcoholism to be the exciting cause of insanity in from 15 to 20 per cent. of all cases-that is to say, one out of every five or sit persons sent to the insane asylum would never have been put there were it not for drink." The frequency of overwork as a cause of insanity cannot be accu rately stated in figures on account of the great difficulty of obtaining accu rate data for statistics, but Dr. Seward expressed the opinion that if such figares could be obtained they would be large. Insanity brought about by overwork, develops in overconscientious or overambitious persons, who burn the candle at both ends and reduce themselves to a condition of chronic fatigue and nervousness. Recovery is uncertain and convalescence slow and tedious. "Is any provision being made at present for this class of patients, simply on the verge of nervous collapse ?". was asked. "There seems to be a tendency to establish clinics, particularly one in connection with the Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore, for the care of commencing nervousness, with a view toward preventing insanity. In Europe these institutions have been in existence for some time and the results have been most gratifying." "Until these. clinics are an estabjlished fact in - every large city, what course would you prescribe for nervous people who might have tendencies toward insanity?" "First of all, the advice of a good physician, who would naturally prescribe regular hours, an even, everyday life and plenty of exercise in the open air, in addition to any medicines which he may suggest. These are the essentials for nervous people to follow in their daily life if they wish to ward off insanity." - To the young men who happen to read these lines I have a few words, which, I G ood believe, are well worth their attention. They are: No matter what your income, save a little. My present feelings, as I write this, would not be with me now, had I saved a little each week. each month, each year. Always earning a good monthly salary, I always spent it, not in riotous living, but carelessly and foolishly, for things I could By H. W. HAYWARD -well have done without and from which I received no returns whatever. - . .This kind of living led me into careless ways. My credit being unquestioned at thati time, I was able to procure my wants, if I cared to, on charge accounts, and while not making a habit of that by any means, I did procure some things in that way, to my regret. - I foun<Lit harder, still living the careless way, to pay for what I had purchased, than to get the charge accolint. I was consequently in debt when married, and, in fact, I married when I did because continuation at her work would have made a nervous and physical wreck of my wife. I was therefore with the added burden of supporting two and main taining a household. But, oh, the feelings that have possessed me at times, when pressed for money by those to whom I am in debt. As I am honest at heart as the day is long, words cannot express those feelings. Suffice it to say that instead of being as happy as a lark, which I would be if freed of dent, I am today troubled in spirit and despairing and discouraged. My advice is save, save! Spare the dollars you would spend in care liss ways and save yourself the feelings that attend the position of the young man who writes this.

"Fine!" cried the subterranean gar, dener when he observed how thel miners had left the "rooms" intacti with supporang columns and walls re.; enforced by heavy timbers. If he had dug into the buried treasure house of a grandee of Pompeii or Herculaneum he could not have been more deligh tel. In those "rooms" stretching side by side, he knew not how far, he be ieved he could ultimately cultivate enough flowers and vegetables to make it-so far as concerned vegeta tion-eternal spring and summer in the homes in the big western and northern cities. But he planned only to experiment on a small scale at first. He would attempt to raise just a few things fo his own use. Posey selected one of the smaller chambers and trans formed It Into flower and vegetable beds, laboring in the atmosphere of summer, but without having a blister ing sun beating down on his back.

For his experiment in growing he selected such varieties of flowers and vege tables as he knew grew besf. by artifi ciallight-some of these having already been named. He planted his crop and adjusted the gas plant so as to produce "days" in the mine of a. length equal to the natural days above: ground in tne sprouting season of'| spring, although it was in reality winI ter on the surface. Not to his surprise, but to his in finite delight, Posey soon saw little green shoots thrusting their tiny way up through the soil of his under fertile. Besides that, the plants drank in every bit of the fertility of the soil, for there were no foul weeds in that garden. Cultivation the plants needed, and they got it. Rain they needed, and they got that, too. throughj a sprinkling device. Acetylene gas, gave the nearest artificial approach to, sunlight that is known to modern. science. It seemed to fulfill all thei requirements of the growing plants. In fact, it almost outdid the sun in developing the plants to maturity. A Great Success. Within little more than half the time usually needed, Posey's tulips and other flowers were blooming. His vegetable crop grew with like rapid ity, and before his friends discovered that he was a midwinter farmer he was giving a few preferred ones some of the choicest, most toothsome vege tables they had ever tasted, all from the subterranean garden. His own table was often supplied, not only with the edibles, but with beautiful and fragrant decorative blossoms as well. Posey, to qluite a satisfactory de gree,' proved his theory and realized his dream. Meanwhile he planned to extend his subterranean flower and vegetable growing to undertake mar ketin'g in the future. "There's no limit to the possibil ities and the profit," he told his in timate friends.

And then they came back and took the cash ions off the wagon. Eventually, be coming daring, they unhitched 'the wagon and took it away. True to my trust, I stood there, holding the horse.
