CURE FOR INSOMNIA.
Mrs Phligminthrow Suggests One
 That Might Do in Some Cases.

In my own case" said Mr Phlig-
 mlnthrow, "l find that insomnia proceeds largely from worry over
 money. My nerves are all right and l have cast iron stomach. I can
 eat anything and. enjoy It, and as a general proposition life looks pretty rosy to me; but still l do oc-
 casionally have nights when cant
 sleep, when I lie awake worrying
 over how l am going to make both
 ends meet
 II never deliberately consider
 financial questions at night, but do ind that sometimes-and this may be after most completely comfortable evening--fi financial ones- tions obtrude themselves upon me after l have gone to bed.
 To slave off these unpleasant questions and enable myself to for get them so that I could go to sleep l have tried various familiar meth ods; have. got out of bed and stood up 10 make myself tired; have recalled and dwelt on pleasant journeys; l have counted from one up to million, more or less: I have said the alphabet backward over and over again; have tried many things; but do you know what in my case find most efficacious? It is story that tell to myself about now l am going to become comfort ably rich and thus free from all financial troubles.
 Tt took me a considerable time to build up this story in such shape that it just suited me, so that 1t seemed natural, like something that might have happened, you under- stand, and, then I filled in the amount that was coming to me. making that enough so that the in- come from it would be sufficient to provide for all ordinary wants and as well for few modest luxuries. including little travel-a pleas ant prospect to dwell upon. And by the time l had this story completely built up it took me some time to tell 1t to myself. with that snug little fortune that was to save me from all financial worry coming in at the end.
 And then when those money questions used to bounce on mo af- ter I'd gone 10 bed and threaten to keep me awake I'd start of and tell myself that story. as in truth have done many times And sometimes I'd have 10 tell ii 10 myself two or three times over in succession 10 drive away the specter and then again once would do. that money coming in at the end of it soothing me to sleep. and then I have some times not even been compelled to tell it all through once: I have faI- len asleep before l had finished fl before I got the money. so sure was ! that it was coming 10 me" DeWiit's Little Early Rfsers, the
