DIET 70 cure sLespLsssNess.
Common Causes of lnsomnIa-lndl.
gestion and Hunger.

DR. William Stevens says that in,
somnia is not a disease itsen, but the
effect OF an unhealthy condition Of
body or mind When the cause IS re
moved the insomnia may be expected
to disappear.
Every physician has had stubborn
cases Of it which would not yield to
any treatment and for which a change
Of air or Of scene became necessary.
But such cases as these should not
occur, and do occur only when
the sufferer has neglected precautions
that should have been taken when the
trouble first made itself manifest.
Insomnia results from causes which
can be removed II attended to in sea
son. The most common cause is found
in the digestive organs Either insult
able food, causing insomnia as a fea.
ture Of indigestion, or insufficient food,
causing the patient to be kept awake
by hunger.
There are few things which can be
universally recommended as diet for
sleeplessness, since what win agree
with one man will disagree with an.
other. But two things that may al.
most always be recommended are let
tuce and celery.

PRosAlc ORIGIN OF THE HALO.
Said 70 Have Been Placed over Stat
ues Of Saints TO Preserve Them.

The origin Of the halo dates back
TO the eleventh and twelfth centuries.
Those years were rich In the building
OF churches and eathedrals There
we're erected around the outside OF
tho sacred edlaces statues OF the
saints, placed under the caves. IN
time the oaretakers Of the buildings
perceived that the discoloration from
the rains falling from the roofs dis.
figured the images. Accordingly they
placed over the tops Of them fiat wood.
en- disks Of sufficient size TO protect
the statues Glotto began to paint
pictures when boy, and his igno-
rance assumed the protecting disks as
an essential part of the saint His
earliest pictures represent each sacred
figure topped off with what looks much
like the bottom OF barrel. He ideal
tied this into a circle, dark nc first.
but growing more luminous with each
successful production of his artistic
fancy, until he developed the circle
OF light that has come down un-
changed through generations OF paint
ers as 4 badge OF sanctity.

camnhor to Break Up q Cold.

One or the most efficient remedies
for breaking up a cold during its
earliest stage Is camphor. When the
eyes begin to water and there Is the
accompanying tinglng OF the nose and
feeling OF ehilliness. place three drops
OF camphor on a lump OF loaf sugar
and place the sugar In the mouth.
Repeat this every rs minutes till
four or five doses have been taken.
At the same time place the feet where
they will become thoroughly warm.
This will usually prove effectual in
breaking up a cold II the cold is taken
at its very beginning For a child but
one drop should be placed upon the
sugar. and five or six doses admins

Few Desertlons from Mexican Army.
Instances Of desertion from the
army in Mexico are very rare and for
the best OF reasons said senor Jose
de Minaldez OF Nueya Leon. The rea-
son lies in the almost sure capture Of
the fugitive and the certainty that he
will get not one but numerous nog
gings on his bare back. These lash
ings are done in the presence OF the
comrades OF the deserter, and when
the men see how great is the suffering
OF the miserable wretch who tried in
vain to quit his military obligations
they are forced to conclude that II Is
