Certain Cure for Insomnia.

Insomnia is a ,self-inficted curse through
the violation of natures laws. The cause
may be over-anKiety, planning for the NOR
row, thinking and worrying over the YES

move the cause, even though it,may bring
sleep. If the cause Is merely mental over
work it may be quickly removed by reliey-

to fifty times until you feel the congestion

and his following to keep behind certain
defined limits around Apia, the prescribed
district covering an area of twelve miles
long and six miles broad. and which was

to avoid mistakes in the future, went over
the boundary line with several Mataafan
CHIEFS who promised to keep the peace
until the commission had time to act.
The district which the rebels have evacu-
ated Is quite large enough to supply food
to the Malietoans in Apia, and thus one
of the great difficulties Of the naval au-
thorities has been obviated.
Punishment of LOoters.
Since the rebels went to Falenta a strong
patrol of 700 or 800 men daily make the
round, seeing that all is quiet, and that no
looting or damage is done by Malietoa's
