All thc mnssnge nnd benuty bntlis nnd

Do ynu suffor from Insomnia? Totl
must set nbout n cure nt once.
Mnny nre the dcvlees for oonrpUerlng
thls trouble, One is to cohcontrate the.
thoughts on some unreal, Ihtanglblo sub
leet, such n? a dream or a fancy, nnd to
'c-arefully nvold thlnklng of anythlng to
do wlth actual on concrete Ilfe, Another
dcvlce ls to count Imaglnnry sheep as
they jump over a hvpolhotlcal wall, or
plgs ns they push under a gate.
To coiult backward by threes, slxes or
nlnes ls stlll another way nf gettlng
sleep; or open yonr cyes ns wldo ns pos?

Ing. Thc wearlnoss Of dolng thls will
put you to sleop. Llstonlng to Imngl
nnrv muslc or thc ilpplo of 11 dlsldnt

effect.
Another wny ls to tlre out tlio muncii

you foel weary.
Another exorclsr Is to llo faco up. rost

touching tho baclt. Thls ln eallcd tho

dors of a wrestlcr aro mndo to touch the

Tho eft'ort to malntnln thlH posltlon, even
for tho brlefest tlmo, helps to woo tho
goddess nf slumber.
Gottlng up u"<l taklng a walk nroumt

Another exorciso 1h to knfeol upon tho
floor. and, holding tho hands abovo thn
hoad, ulowly rock backward and fnrward,
as far as possiblo. Agaln, pace back and
forth, with the hands clasped above thc
hoad. and thlnk of fiowers and muDlc,
murmurlng fountalns and rlppling brooks.
Or go through wlth a sorles of rythmtc
gestures.
To put the feet In water as hot ns can
be borno ls often effectlvo. or a hot sltz
hrah may be a sleep lnducer. Flve or
ten mlnutes ln tho tub is enough. In
many cases a rocllntng bath ln water is
sedatlvo. lf lt seems too much troublo
-to -get'things togother for a b?ith, a (eri
mlnutes' r'ub down wlth a Turklsli towel

Sleeplessness ls almost unknown to
any one who Is devotcd to out-door
uports?golf, tennls, rldlng, rowlng, swim

Mo under such condltlons.
Livlng ln the open alr nnd tnklng sov?

but not laborlously Interested, causes a

Ihe lndlspensnblo condltlons of sound nnd

from tho woman who takes dally exor

Por sho who hns no tlmo durlng tha
day for out-door sports, a walk of half
a mllo, about an hour after supper, ls
hypnotlo ln Its effect. Add' half a mlle
each nlght, until the walk ls equal to
doihg three mlles in an hour.
The heart beats, and so llfts lts load,
nbout ten tlmes le3s a mlnuto whlle a
womari sleeps, thaii^ whon she ls awake;
or slx hundred tlme3 tn nn hour; or about
flve thousand timea ln the nlght. Any
InrOnd, therefore, Into sleep, especlally
for many nlghts In a yoar, cuts down tho
rest the heart should have, and so over
w'orlta It and makes It wear out early.
The sufforer from Insomnin rnust know
that posltion In bcd ls all-important.
Lio on tho rlght slde, wlth tbo rlght arm

may rest on tho thlgh. Flox tho llmbs

Lylng on tbo bnck, with the nrms

Injurlous condltlons thero result many
dlsenses of the tliroat nnd resplratorj' or

Nor should the nrms be folded on tho

It Is also well to rotnember that to lio

In sunimor, n hard, smonth mnttress,
linen bed sheets nnd a llght supper aro

Another wny, nnd a vory luxnrtoua one,
to lnsuro sleep on a hot nlght, ls to havo
two beds. It ls certulnly n blesslng to
bo able to leavo a warm bed for a cool
one.
If obllged to go wlthout the usual

Don't take a narcotlc to put you to
sleep. You take ono; It works like n
charm. You can't sleep without it, nnd
then you can't sleep wlth lt. lt hns worn

pose of inducing sleop Is always attendod
wlth dahger. Sleep produced by such ar

'"Taln't no use, 'taln't no use," mut
tered old ' _nc" Bob," as he sat on the

eernestly talklng to himsolf and obllvlous

bo stlll that but for tho odnr from hls
plpo and hls brokon convorsatlon wlth
hlmaelf, ono would hardly havo thought
that anybody was n?ir.
Crosslng over the deop sand, so common
to tho roads In Tldowuter Vlrglnla, I hnd
Just started down tbo path ou tho oihor

hlm. Ho wns looklng ln tho. opposlto dl

"'Taln't no use," when Just then 1 ealled
out ln a somewhat Jocular manner: VWoll,
Unc' Bob, what ls that that ls of no uso'.'"
"Hl! who is dat?" he asked wlth aur
prise, and the next moment, as If ln apol
ogy, ho said: "Lawd, boss, is dat you?
Well, sar, ] dldn't know dat anybody wuz
near, an' I wuz Jes Borter reiisonln' wid

? I hardly stopped, nnd then started on,
whcn tho old colored man said wlth a
deep Blgh: "But, boss, ]'s got a mighty
lu-ap 0' trouble now a' days." Boolng that
he was anxlous to tell the burden of liin
hoart and thereby muko It more ensily
cnrrled, I stopped to liston, for thero whb
no colored man ln all thnt sectlon thnt
wa_ more hlghly thought of thnn "Uno1

He Immedlutely took hls r'pe from hla
mouth and got down slowly from the rall
fence, and when he had falrly settli-d
