The majority of travellers will tell
you that they don't sleep soundly in
sleeping cars, that they never feel
rested in the morning and that night
railroad trips are an abomination. This
may be all true but if they don't sleep
well it is cften their own fault Very
few people know how to sleep i'm a
sleeping ear. The secret is this. Sleep
with your head toward the engine. by
50 doing you will not wake up with
headache or spend a restless night.
When the feet are toward the engine
the motion OF the train causes the blood
to settle in the head and rest is then
out of the question The porters know
this, but )nly on a few lines will they
bother to change ends when making up
berths. Insist upon their doing IL and
you win pass "A comfortabl night-that
is, if you have good health and clear
