INSOMNIA.
Errors in Dict Which Cause Indigestion

Errors in Dict Which Cause Indigestion
ard Result in Loss OF Sleep.
As is we'll known any disturbance Of the
digestive organs affects the amount Of re-
freshment which sleep ought to afford.
The Boston Medical Journal notes as fol-
lows some causes which ultimately pro-
duce insomnia through indigestion;
First, errors are made as to the quantity
Of food taken. An excess causes an en-
barassment TO the digestive organs; de-
composition and hatulence set in under I'M
moIested microbic rule Putrid and more
or less toxic gases and ptomaines are gen
Grated, and bilious condition supervenes.
That insomnia should attend such state
Of things IS not surprising. The remedy
for this is 10 reduce the daily rations 20
the physiological standard. The necessity
Of eating slowly and deliberately is ap-
parent, as rapid eaters are more than like
ly TO oyereat. Second, poor food may en-
gender insomnia by inducing anamia or
starvation of the vital organs. IL cannot
be TOO much insisted upon that the daily
fare contain an adequate mixture Of albu.
men, fats and carbohydrates.
indigestible food produces essentially the
came evils as excessive amounts Of food
Under this head may DO ranked improper

Sunlight and Health.

Houses in places otherwise unexception-
able are often so closely overhung with
trees az 10 he IN a state of humidity, owing
to the prevention Of free circulation of
air and free admission Of the suns rays.
Trees growing against the walls Of houses
and shrubs in confined places near dwell
ings are injurious also as favoring humidi-
~. At the proper distance, on the other
hand, trees are favorable to health. On
this principle. according TO Halls Journal
Of Health, it may be understood how the
inhabitants of one house suffer from vari-
Gus ills as the consequence Of living in a
confined, humid atmosphere, while their
nearest neighbors, whose houses are other
wise situated, enjoy good health; and even
how one side Of a large building fully ex-
posed TO the sun and a free circulation Of
air may be healthy, while the other side,
overlooking shaded courts or gardens, is
unhealthy.

Why Household Cloths Vanish fast-Cuii-
nary Em erssnoies Anticipated.
A young housekeeper is often puzzled by
the frequent necessity for new busters,
glass cloths, etc. II she were to inquire
closely into this sbe would probably find
that the busters or cloths were often thrown
away as rags long before they had reached
that condition. having been used for pur-
poses for which they were unsuited.
Experienced hOusekeepers have learned
TO keep each household cloth solely for the
use for which IL was intended, but careless
servants Will take the one that comes first
10 hand IN any emergency, and the buster
IS sometimes nsed Unfortunately 90 wipe
knives, 1atirons, etc, or to supply the
place Of a securing flannel or even as a ket-
tie OF iron holder Kitchen cloths are NAL
treated in the same way, being frequently
scOrched or burned into holes by being
used in lifting q hot baking tin ffom the
oven. Glass and china cloths last much
longer if they are spread out to dry after
being used than when they are carelessly
thrown while damp into a heap, as is often
done when they ere put aside to be washed,
or thrown hastily over the back Of a chair.
The mistress Of a household will save
herself much trouble and not a little worry
81 she keeps 4 small store Of the articles
most needed In household ready for use
when wanted. such as an extra securing
flannel. dishcloth. wash leather, scrubbing
brush. When these are lacking, as the
work has TO DO done, some other article
will be taken as a substitute, although it
IS certain that the thing thus taken viii
be rendered unfit for further use.
Every housekeeper has gone through the
experience of the unexpected guest who
drops In TO lupcheon or dinner, on a day
when the quantity provided for the meal ia
only just sufficient for the family. The
visitor may be dear friend, but 10 is diff

There Is a great confusion In America AZ

Now in potnt-of law Mrs. Clarence Man

and il o n6bie lady, Dowager Lady
Manners. However, she has custom on
her side. She is Mrs. Clarence Manners

widow. as She was the honored wife, and
therefore she Is not "old Mrs. Clarence

an absurdity IL her husband Is not junior
