SHORT DISCOURSE ON PROPER
METHODS OF SLEEP.
ritter Declares the Human Race Does
Not Know How Properly to Woo
"Nature's Sweet Restorer"-
Beware the Snorer.

Man is the only animal that sleeps
on it's back, says the New York Press.
Many animals sleep on their sides.
but most sleep prone-that is, face
down Dogs never dream when prone,
but invariably do so when sleeping
on their side. ,, All of us from tho
country have seen Bung, the hound.
chasing rabbits in his sleep. An ami.
NAL would be perfectly helpless If 1t
slept on its back. And so Is man help
less in that position.
If some other fellow wants a fortune
let him invent pillow that will allow
man or woman or child to sleep face
down without having to twist the neck
nearly out of joint. We still style It
the "back-ur cure" and introduce it in
all homes. There is no excuse for
lyiLg on the back and keeping the
spine hot all night, while the front of
the body-the abdomen, the stomach,
the chest, the throat, etc.-is allowed
to become chilled. A hot spine is
disease generator. And, on the other
hand, a cold spine is death.
Snoring is an Internal nuisance to
every one except the snorer. People
who sleep on their fronts never sLore
Those who sleep on their backs in
variably do. The palate as we know
1t is the roof of the mouth and the
floor of the nose. Some style it the
hard palate. Back near the throat is
the soft palate. When you aleep ON
your back this gets down about the
breathing apparatus and you snore.
Some .snores are worse than the mid
night howl OF a hyena. Never marry q
woman that snores. Ask her before
you propose If she Is addicted to snor.
ing. and If She says yea" avoid her.
It is much easter to relax when
sleeping on your front than when
sleeping on your back. And what we
all need after touching the bed at
night is relaxation. 1t is billion
piles that some. scientist cannot teach
the art Of relaxing. Our strenuous
life, o: course. is not blameless In this
natter. We go to bed in excitement.
and the nerves are strung all night.
That Is 10 say. we go to bed In full
tune. like piano. and cannot pos;'tb,t
let the strings down. Therefore We
do not rest Could we relax we could
sleep four or five hours and arise re-
freshed; but as we cannot relax, wa
