The woman who suffers from sleepless-
ness may try various simple remedies with
more or less success unless her insomnia is
due to such II derSipgcd condition or fhe
nerves as requires a ddetor's care. Warmth
is an adniira bic aid to drowsiness, and a
glass OF boiEiig mills or Of hot lemonade
or cocoa is an excellent bedtime drink. Slim
ulants should, OF course, be avoided, as
they arouse and excite one instead OF merely
dulling. Even the soothing glass OF beer
should be ayoided by those who donot desire
corpuiency and bad complications. A few
crackers may be taken with the lemonade
or milk.

During the terrible tramp, tramp, and the

consciousness that she had feet

her haste to make her way to the chiropo-
dists.
But see her again, as she lightly issues
forth, after an hour or SO spent quietly
