NOW SLEEP MAY BE WOOED
Movements of the Feet VIII Quiet
the Nervous Brain.


Most OF the mental devices for WOO
Ing sleep have failed because they have
nearly always tried to resort to local
treatment" In other words, they have
made n homeopathic attempt to stop
thinking by thinking about something
else, Il process which might also be
called elimination by substitution"
But all thinking. spontaneous or fore
ed draws more or less blood TO the
brain, prevents deep limitations and
bars the gate to the kingdom of dreams.
Any device, on the other hand, which
Will make one take deep, long breaths

ncr of sleep, may be counted upon rs Il
genuine remedy for Insomnia Even

win sleep, but II the deep breathing

seat of difficulty" which In the case
of insomnia would be the feet. Lying
ON the right side, with the knees to-
gcther and considerably fcxed. the
victim of insomnia should begin TO
pedal both his feet slowly up and
down, with the movement entirely in
the ankles. The pedaling should keep
time with the natural rhythm of res
piration and be continued until IL is
followed Ivy deep and spontaneous
breathing.
Several people who have tried this
remedy report that involuntary deep
breathing invariably begins before
they have pcdalcd up and down a
dozen times. In obstinate cases of in
somnin the patient may need to keep
up the pedalng two or three minutes
or even more, with intcrmlsslons, If
necessary. The treatment may also be
varied by moving the feet alternately
instead of simultaneously, though the

In the preface to Gail Hamllton's
poems, published under the title Chips,

verses written In childish hand.
One such sheet has the heading
"Chips and Parlngs." Another is call

were all written before she was twelve
years old. But the earliest, written
when she was eight, Is the best:

Revelation of Bitterness of
Racial Feeling in Cape
Colony a Blow - Final
Talk With Afrikander
Delegation.
Secretary Expresses Hope
of Closer Union Will
Not Suspend Constitution,
But Refuses Martial Law
Inquiry.

LONDON. Feb. 21.-The ten weeks
tour OF Colonial Secretary Chamberlain
in South Africa will end on next Wednes-
day. when he will sail from Cape Town
for England. His progress has been
watched with lively interest in England.
where his compatriots of all parties &C
knowledge the energy he has SHOWN in
meeting, discussing. and negotiating
vital matters with everybody who was
willing to meet him. His speeches
have been marked by the same outspOken
lucidity and optimism that mark all his
public utterances. Yet even his reso-
lutte temperament has been almost dis
mayed by the state of things which he
found in Cape Colony
Bitterness in Cape Colony.
He publicly complained. more than
once. that the racial feeling in the two
conquered republics showed nothing
Ike the depth Of bitterness which exists
throughout the British governing
colony. The present Cape ministry re-
tsins Offices only through the support
OF the Afrikander Bund. which COM
pletely controls the politics OF the col
oRy. Mr. Chamberlain has been using
Nvery possible occasion to appeal to the
leaders OF the Bund TO let the race ques-
tion drop. but from the ministers of the
Dutch church. who are the most infiu-
entail element in the Bund, nc has re-
ceived no encouragement.
The veteran Afrikander leader. J. H.
Hofmeyer. who headed deputation
which called on the colonial secretary
os tel
fully worded speech. in which he said
he would do his best TO bring the two
races together. Mr.. Chamberlain. in re-
ply, expressed himself. almost elusive
". a very grateful. He declared that the
address OF Mr.. Hofmeyer an admirable
speech. and would be more beneficial
than anything that had gone before.
Will Not Suspend Constitution.
Mr.. Chamberlain promised absolutely
that he would not suspend the working
OF the constitution in Cape Colony. On
the other hand he refused to grant
public inquiry into the administration
of martial law and the communicating
or supplies etc. by the military forces
In a final appeal he declared with an
usual emotion. that the time OF his ac-
tive service for the empire was neces-
sarily drawing to a close. and that II
would be the greatest happiness OF his
life if his last act of statesmanship
should accomplish something toward
bringing about a union OF the two white
races in South Africa.
IL will be many months before Il is
possible to judge of the effects of Mr..
Chamberlain's tour. but IL may be ex-
Dected that the educational effects upon
Mr.. Chamberlain himself will have i'm
mediate results.
There is general commentator OF the
part Mrs Chamberlain has taken in her
husbands mission.
