Dr. William Stevens says that IN.
somnia is not disease itself. but
the effect of an unhealthy condition
of body or mind. When the cause is
removed the insomnia may be ex-
pected to disappear
Every physician has had stubborn
cases of 1t which would not yield
to any treatment and for which n
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 pre-
cautions that should have been taken
when the trouble first made itself
manifest.
Insomnia results from causes which
can be removed If attended to in
season. The most common cause is
found in the digestive organs. Either
unsuitable food, causing insomnia as
a feature of indigestion, or INSULT
cient 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 will
agree with one man will disagree
with another. But two things that
may almost always be recommended
are lettuce and celery.

Guarding Bank OF France.

Like the Bank of England, the
Bank of France is now guarded every
night by soldiers. But within quite
recent time the officials at the French
bank resorted to a very novel method
Of protecting their bullion.
This consisted in engaging masons
to wall up the doors of the vaults
in the cellar with hydraulic mortar
as soon as the money was deposited
each day in these receptacles. The
water was then turned on and kept
running until the whole cellar was
flooded. A burglar would be obliged
to work in diving suit and break
down cement wall before he could
even begin to plunder the vaults.
J When the bank official arrived
next morning the water was drawn
off, the masonry torn down and the
vaults opened.-Strand Magazine

Massillon, Ohio.-In the laboratory
of the Massillon State Hospital DR..
John ID. O'Brien reiterated state
ment recently made by him before
the American Medico-Psycholog
natl that he had discovered the germ
of paresis, and that the disease is
durable. He summed up the result
of his experiments in these two dec
larations: That paresis undoubtedly
is a germ disease and that the germ
has been discovered; that, while in
the experimental stage, sufficient tests
have been made to show that paresis
Is durable, and that he has specific
cases to point to as definite results.
DR.. O'Brien does not believe it
would be proper to make public the
names of the patients whom he as
serts the treatment has cured, but
he gives the specific cases as a news
paper man of Washington, d. c., who
was treated for paresis and is again
at work, cured a civil engineer of
prominence in Nashville, Tenn, who
is cured and at work, besides a num-
ber of people in Ohio who were
brought to the hospital with acute
forms of the disease and cured. 9th
ers who are now at the hospital still
under treatment are showing marked
progress toward recovery.

tion to his own statements and re-

Hospital, and the patients when dis
charged from the hospital as cured.
Il know" said DR.. O'Brien, that
1t is a bold statement to make that
the germ of paresis has been discov-
cred. Many scoffed when the germ
theory of diphtheria and tuberculosis
was advocated. We feel warranted
from the number of cases treated and
from the satisfactory results of the
experiments made, in stating without
qualification that paresis is a germ
disease. We also feel that, from the
work done, we have found the bacil-
lus. We have cured patients, are
helping many now and expect to so
forward with the work"

when the men will be taken back.
Two large dry goods concerns told
the committee that they decided to
celebrate Employment Day" by put
ting back some 5000 employees.
Similar assurances have been made
by other concerns, and the committee
believes that June will mark in a
large degree the return of prosperity.
Pittsburg That return to pros
perity has come was evidenced here
when 1t was announced that many of
the Carnegie Steel Company's mills
had been started up again.
The Carnegies started their Twen-
ty-ninth and Thirty-third street mills
here, also two more of the Home
stead group. The Singer Nimick
Mills, making hoops and bands, were
started full after an idleness of sew
eral months. The Carter Iron Works,
outside Pittsburg, were also started,
and the National Tube Company,
which has been repairing mills at
McKeesport, announces that 1t will
ask for an additional appropriation
Immediately for more repairs.
Evidence of returning prosperity is
furnished by the announcement that
the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad
has ordered the Standard Steel Car
Company to begin construction of
1000 all-steel cars for that road. The
new cars will be used to handle the
tonnage between the coal and coke
regions and the lakes. The order
calls for 1000 specially designed all
steel coke cars, and 1000 all-steel
gondolas. The contract was origin
ally awarded last summer but held
