How TO Sleep.

The question of chief Importance TO
most people in these overweight,
wakelul days and nights is how to get
good sleep enough. DR.. Corning drops
A few simple hints which 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 a 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 we'll is to go to bed at a
regular hour, and make it as early as
possible. The next thing is to exclude
all worry and exciting subjects of
thought from hemind 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 boon
which must not be tempered with and
put off, for if compelled to wait, it is
never 50 perfect and restful as if taken
in its own natural time and way. The
right side is the best side to sleep on,
except in special cases of disease, and
the position should be nearly horizontal.
Finally, the evening meal should be
composed of food most easily digested
and assimilated, so that the stomach
will have very little hard work to do.
heavy, rich dinner taken in the eve
mig is one of the things that murder
Seep. Late suppers with exciting
6Ts and stimulating drinks make
{ eeai.y restorative sleep next to impossi-
ible. Narcotics are to be avoided, save
as used in cases of disease by COM
petent physicians. The proper tim e
according to DR.. 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.-Nel0 York star.
