II the people who have been lured
into Dakota will, after realizing their
folly, go to some Southern State and
there develop their energy and in,

to hnd comfortable habitation.
Yesterday was Memorial Day. The
Nations defenders, buried in Middle

hands OF surviving friends, save per.
chance tear or sigh from an airec-
tionate mother. sister or sweetheart.

How to Sleep.

The question of chief importance to
most people in these overweight,
wakeful days and nights is how to get
good sleep enough Dr. Corning drops
a few simple hint5 wfich may be of
value. In the first place people should
have a regular time for going to sleep,
and it should be as soon as can well be
after sunset. People who sleep at any
time, according to convenience, get less
benefit from their sleep than Others;
getting sleep becomes more difficult;
there is tendency to nervous excita-
bility and arrangement; the repair of
the system does not equal the waste
The more finely organized people are
the greater the difficulty and the dan
ger from this cause. The first thing in
order to sleep well is to 60 to bed at
regular hour, and make it as early as
possible. The next thing is to exclude
all worry and exciting subjects of
thought from the mind sometime before
retiring. The body and mind must be
let down from the high-pressure strain
before going to bed, so that nature can
assert her rightful supremacy after
ward. Another point is, never to
thwart the drowsy impulse when it
comes at the regular time by special
efforts to keep awake, for this drowsi-
ness is the advance-guard of healthy,
restorative sleep. Sleep is a boon
which must not be tempered with and
put off, for if compelled to wait, it is
never so perfect and restful as if taken
in its own natural time and way. The
right side is the best side to sleep OH,
except ihspecial cases Of disease, and
the position should be nearly horizontal.
Finally, the evening meal should be
composed of food most easily digested
and assimilated, 50 that the stomach
will have very E.s}e ss.ry. work to do,
A heavy, rich dinner taken in the evel
ming is one of the things that murder
sleep. Late suppers with exciting
foods and stimulating drinks make
really restorative sleep next to impossi-
BILE. Narcotics are to be avoided save
as used in cases of disease by COM
petent physicians. The proper tim e
according to DIR. Corning, to treat
sleeplessness is in the daytime. and it
must be treated by wise and temper
ate method of living rather than by
medicines. This is good common
sense. And doubtless a vast deal of
the debility, the nervous arrangement,
and the insanity of our time would be
prevented by more good, restful natur-
al sleep.-Ne10 York Star.
