WHY ONE is SLEEPY.
Many Hypotheses Are Advanced BY
the Scientists.

Ine OClcnIlSISs
Scientists disagree as to the cause
of drowsiness. Some curious and re-
markable reasons are assigned for the
desire everybody has for sleeping 1t
is attributed by some people to an
accumulation in the system of the
poisonous products of the wear and
tear Of the body during the day.
There seems to be some measure of
truth in this. for in many diseases
the patients are often sleepless. An
other hypothesis is that the nerve
cells of the brainu dwell apart from
each other, as it were, during sleep.
The brain is composed of millions of
tiny bodies called cells, each having
several delicate prolonsations, or
branches, for the purpose of communi-
eating with other cells. When the
brain is fully active all these cells are
in contact, or ready to be in contact,
with one another; but the time oc-
casionally comes. it is thought, when
the branches of all the cells curl up,
and their isolation means that com
plete communication between the
cells ceases. The state OF. body and
mind that follows is what we call
sleep.
The most probable explanation of
sleep, however. is that in some way
or other the internal condition of the
cells is changed, partly from exhaus-
ton and partly because of diminished
stimulation from other parts of the
body.

| Mrs. IN. NVriohf

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
a. For two years l suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated my entire system that
was unable TO attend to my daily duties
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and it caused disturbance in my
stomach l tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. i was ad-
vised to give Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound trial, and was happily surprised
TO fin1 that it acted like n fine tonic, and in a
few days began. to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid and in
five weeks | was well woman. have rec
ommended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed dendorsement,o or has such record of
cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
Il. Pinlfham'S Vegetable Compound.

No beggar in New York makes less

ceive contributions varying from one
penny to $25. Some of them are eX-

telling plausible stories of unpaid

WHEEL THAT ABSoRBS HEAT
Invention Of Englishman That Solves
Auto Difficulty-Cost Of Tires
Reduced to Minimum.

London.-If the invention OF a Mr..
Robinson, of Beccles. proves, under
more extended tests to be what he
thinks 1t is. 1t would seem that motor
lists will owe him vote of thanks. Every
motorist knows that practically two
thirds of the cost of the sport Is In the
tires, and as it has so far proven impos-
sible to use solid tires because of the
fact that in high speed cars the friction
of the wheel with the road created a suf-
ficient heat to contract the wheels and
allow the tire to run OF, motorists have
been at the mercy Of the pneumatic tire,
as being the only thing that would stand
the strain and meet all requirements.
Mr.. Robinson claims to have invented
a specially constructed wheel that in it.
self offers sufficient resiliency and is so
adjusted with springs as to take up all
heat contraction due to high speeds,
thus permitting the use of solid tires of
either steel or rubber. Mr.. Robinson de-
clares he has special set of his wheels
on nine horsepower car, and had run It
distance OF more than 1000 miles at a
speed of 80 miles an hour without the
tires requiring the slightest attention.
