How to sleep Comfortably.

NJ. A. i. ret, French scientist, has
undertaken to teach us how to sleep,
saws the New York American. He has
experimental scientifically in the art
of sAeeping comfortably. As a result
he advises the abolition of the pillow
and the bolster. The only natural POI
sition for one to assume while sleeping
is the horizontal. First one must get
used to sleeping without bolster. The
next STEP he says, is to remove the Pill
low. for not until then will the circu-
lation of the blood be as free as 1t
should be. In further explanation he
says that the pillow and bolster keep
the head and neck at an abnormal an
gle and that consequently the sleeper's
entire body remains during the night
In an uncomfortable position, and one
which impedes the free course of the
blood through the vessels and organs.

f.OWfTOYKEEP WARM. =
vsIne of Newspapers as "A Prof action
Against Cold.


Tew.peoplelknow that by the use OF
newspapers they can keep warm In
cold weather when without it they
would suffer, says writer IN the
Washington Post. Several sheets of'pa-
per pinned to the inside Of man ssor
boys vest before putting it on ana an
other part Of several thicknesses worn
underline vest when going out into the
GOODWILL take the place of an oyercoat
sofhespoor man who has none and viii
furnish as much warmth.
Many poor families have not bed
clothing enough in winter to protect
them from cold during extremely cold
nights. Such families can make them
selves perfectly comfortable by spread
ing three or four newspapers between
the scant bedclothing they have. They
will be agreeably surprised to find that
the papers are equal to the heaviest
blanket in excluding the cold. II peo-
PIE generally understood the merits OF
this simple remedy and practiced 1t,
there would be less sickness and fewer
cases oe consumption. Men and women
frequently stand for hours about the
market, at the depots or other places,
exposed to severe cold or drafts of air,
and before they are aware Of it have
contracted a cold which terminates In
consumption and death.
Newspapers under the vest or wrap
when thus exposed will nearly always
prevent taking cold. The newspaper Is
nonconductor Of heat and when
placed over the stomach preserves the
supply of what has been called the res
ervoirs Of heat in the body. 1t would
seem probable that these suggestions
were already known by almost every
well informed person in the country,
but in fact very few have ever tried 1t.
The public schools of the country
should teach the children these and
kindred rules for their comfort and
health, for by their use great suffering
would be avoided.
