CURE FOR sLEEpLEssNEss.
Carefully Study the Causes, ard Some
Simple and Effective Remedies.

Look your sleeplessness in the face
and try first to discover for yourself
its cause and cure. Do you prolong
your work until the hour of going to
bed? Do you use oyermuch coffee,
tea, drugs, alcoholic you have the
habit OF sleeplessness little of any
one Of these is apt to be oyermuch.
Are you in the fresh air for such
a part of the time during the day
that you can reckon it in terms OF
hours? Do you sleep il. a well-venti-
lated room and work in rooms IN
which the doors or windows are fire.
quently opened? Are you from any
cause anaemic-this is sure sign
which goes hand in hand with insom-
MIA, as it deprives the brain of suf-
f1ciency of blood.
I the latter is the case you will
need the help of a physician in order
to get at what will be the right amount
Of nourishment which must be sup
piled by your food
By correction Of the other things
you can effect the cure of s1eepless-
ness in yourself There is also treat
ment with hot water which you can
take alone, which is the most ap-
proved Of that given professionally.
First in order is the hot water douche
and with most people the best time
to try it is just before going to bed.
Have board placed over an ordinary
tub and sit on this while you pour
the water gently down your spine, as
hot as can be borne. Use either
small pitcher or a large bath sponge
and replenish from the tea kettle.
Put warm dressing gown on, back
to 'front.' during the process leaving
the back open. If you can have an
attendant two large sponges may be
held ct the nape of the neck and
along the spinal column, as to some
nerves this is even mere soothing
than the douche.

Disease and the House Cat.

The scientists make out a good case
against the house cat, who, with all
her charming and lovable qualities, is
shown to be an agent Of disease and a
wholesale destroyer of bird life. DR..
Caroline A. Osborne, who has been
conducting experiments at Clark uni
versity, has found that cats have diph-
liberia, whooping cough, tuberculosis,
eczema and ringworm. Even when
cats do not actually contract these
maladies, they may carry the con-
.tagion about with them. As nimrods
they are responsible for the death of
about SO birds a year, according to E.
H. Forbush, state ornithologist for
Massachusetts,, not including the suf-
fering they inf1ict by their mangling
of birds, squirrels and rabbits.

Butchers Best WEIGHT euessers.

Butchers are the worlds best
weight guessers. The butchers diff
ficult trade gives him skill in weight
guessing that is almost incredible.
1t is commonplace thing in meat
shop to see a butcher seize hold on
a huge round of beef and slash off
with a great knife four pounds just,
or two and a half pounds just, or six
pounds just, according to the order.
The buyer Of meat wants to get
the weight he asked for, no more and
no less, and he wants this weight in
one piece, not in one big piece and
two or three little ones.
TO satisfy the buyer, the butcher
has been compelled to acquire ex-
traordinary skill in Judging just how
much a certain portion Of round Of
meat weighs and in cutting off that
portion smoothly sand accurately

Many attempts have been made TO

six small beads, made Of mother-of-

Hint for Dramatic Critics.

It appears that some of the Tokyo
dramatic critics have been for some
time in the habit of performing in
comedies and taking the most cele-
brated roles. The japanese critics
think. in fact, that before Judging the
play of the actors they should them
selves experience the difficulties of
dramatic art.
