coming style, whether It be the Ian
guorous robe of Porto Rico or the snug

And its material is all gems and silver.

How to Sleep Comfortably.

M. A. Faret, a French scientist. has
undertaken to teach us how to sleep.
He has experimental scientifically in
the art Of sleeping comfortably.
As a result he advises the abolition
of the pillow and the bolster. The only
natural position 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 pillow, for not until then
will the circulation Of the blood be as
free as it should be.
In further explanation he says that
the pillow and the bolster keep the
head and neck at an abnormal angle.
and that consequently the sleeper's en-.
tire body remains during the night in
an uncomfortable position, and one
which impedes the free course Of the
blood through the vessels and organs.
The only remedy, he maintains, is to
adopt a horizontal position, since by It
alone is absolute rest guaranteed, and
this rest is due to the fact that in such
position the ligaments Of the neck
are not strained or distorted, the lungs
easily perform their proper work and
the heart beats regularly.

When old age comes on catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is al

This explains why Peruna has become so
indispensable to old people. Peruna isl

Such cases cannot be treated locally;
nothing but an effective, systemic remedy
