"There has been much written and said about
insomnia and its remedies" said an army sur
geon in the Army and Navy building this morn
ing to The STAR representative, land at the
killing pace at which we live it is small wonder
that men, particularly professional men, suffer
from sleeplessness ano nervous troubles.
SIN the first place, the cause should be re-
moved. The victim should exert his will power
to the utmost to leave his business in his Office
or store. He should not eat indigestible food
nor distend bis stomach by overlooking it at
dinner. Neither Golfer nor tea should be
drunk at dinner nor should half dozen strong
cigars be smoked afterward. Two or three mild
cigars are not Objectionable. Exciting argu-
ments are best maintained during the
day. However. assuming that all these things
are done, yet once in bed the brain sets up an
abnormal excitement, the vessels are distended

Physicians Advice as to the Proper Time
for Loading Up.
Gas physician said a well-known special
ist in nervous diseases to a STAR reporter, ~
ought to know something about liquor and its
effects upon the human system. 1t is of de-
cided interest to the average man, especially
kentuckian, to have some certainty of knowl-
edge Of the greatest possible amount of whisky
he can drink without material injury to his
constitution, and can give some good sugges-
tions, founded upon personal observation and
knowledge.
I'm the first place, whisky should never be
drunk raw by the man who means to prolong
the battle as long as he can. 1t should be
diluted with water at least one-fourth or one
third. and only the best rye or wheat extract or
corn juice should make the acquaintance of the
stomach. If you want liquor to win quickly
drink heavily OK whisky, rum cordials, cock
tails and brandy and fashionable mixed drinks
morning, afternoon and night. Keep this up
faithfully and your nervous system will soon be
wrecked, your stomach perforated with holes
and the lining covered with alterations and
blotches. your kidneys degenerated, your brain
diseased, and you will finally enjoy to the ut
most the peculiar sensations Of ie!rium ire
mems.
But il you yourself would win the struggle
never drink anything but good, honest, straight
WHISKY, escneWlnR all Other liquors, and take
your first drink at o'clock at night. two hours
after your dinner. You may then drink your
self happily drunk every night in the year for
twenty years if you haven't organic heart dis
ease, and while your system to a certain extent
will feel the effects you will have drunk to his
grave a score of times over the fellow who has
consumed in year in the daytime the same
quantity that you have put away at night.
Sleep, muscular repose and the consequent alb
sence of waste and wear of nervous and physi-
cal forces assist in annuling the bad effects Of

cup Of pure coffee. but positively no cocktails

man who died natural death at seventy-six,
for over thirty years preceding went to bed

"There is a real king oul an 1uthwestern
part of Indian territory" said .arlss Boyd of
st. Louis at the Metropolitan. land in a recent
trip down through tina Conanche and Kiowa
countries met Quanna Parker, head chief OF
the Comanches. The Comanches are still
blanket Indians tina. is, they are no, civilized
and educated, like the Choctaws, and they live in
tepees. But they are among the sharpest and
brightest OF Indians. Every boy remembers in
dime novels that Comanohes were the favorite
enemies OF the brave trappers and hardy pio-
neers. They were fighters aua are the most ex-
per. horsemen in the world. But they fight no
longer, are rapidly becoming civilized. and for
their progress and docility Quanna Parker is to
be Thanked.
Parker is 2 half-5reed. the son Of a chief
whose wife was white captive girl. When but
youth Parker, by his daring and bravery and
successful exploits against other tribes and the
whites in the Indian wars, rose above the older
chiefs and became the leader. Now that the
wars are forever over his same great will power
and strong personality impresses itself az
strongly upon his tribe, but in the direction of
advancement and civilization. He is virtually
king. His word is law; his will supreme. He
says he will civilize his tribe, and he will do il.
As one result of his efforts many Of his Indians
save one-half of their money received from the
sale Of their cattle. With sixty Indians wagons
he went down into Texas, bought lumber. then
came on to Washington and persuaded Indian
Commissioner Morgan TO build the houses. He
lives in fine nine-roomed frame house, hand
somely furnished in modern style, Brussels
carpets, fine upholstered furniture mural
adornments and decorated nicely. His Office,
with its desk and fittings, occupies one room,
and it is here he transacts his business He
wears white shirt and trousers with leggings,
braided hair and colors his face when
among his people. but wher travelling dresses

sports big diamond pin. He has horses with
out number. two coaches, four buggies and
other vehicles. He has six wives to brighten
his household and never heard Of any hair
pulling. There is a method in his polygamous
madness. Each wife is the daughter of a chief
of the six principal divisions or squads Of the
tribe. SO he is solid with the whole lot on this
score.
Parker is about forty, tall and muscular, with
a light copper -colored skin. the Indian facial
CHARACTERISTICS with apiercing black eagle eye.
He speaks English well and is general fayorite
with all who know him.
