INSOMNIA
Ways and Means of Overcoming This Great
American Disease

thoughts surge through the brain, chas-
ing ore another with relentless and
maddening haste, torturing one to a
wakefulncss which it seems impossible
to overcome.
Simple Remedies
First. of all, sleep in a room with
plenty of fresh air. Avoid tea and
coffee, especially at night, and food
that is rich and indigestible l believe,
however, that more insomnia is occa-
stoned by lack of food than by over
eating. Many cases of insomnia have
been cured by taking upon retiring a
glass of milk and biscuit, a slice Of
bread and butter, or some other light
rcfreshment such as has been found to
agree with ore.
For the insomnia of brain activity,
when the thoughts become un"ontrOl-
liable in their persistence, it IS well TO
Get up and abandon attempting to sleep
for a time. A ho: 18th IS c:.ccllent for
that kind Of slecplcs5ness, as IT helps to
distribute the blood in the body. A foot
bath is also good for the same reason.
A simple and sometimes very effective
remedy is cold compress placed on tie
forehead, bringing the ends well down
behind the ears, where the large blood
vessels which carry the blood to the
head are situated.
The cloth will keep cool longer and
be more effective if some cologne IS
sprinkled upon it. The habit Of wake
fulness may have been acquired by some
OF the causes which have been men
toned, and the idea takes possession OF
the would-be sleeper that he cannot get
to sleep, that the power of sleeping has
LETT him. This alone will prevent sleep.
1t can be best met with a calm con-
sideration OF the subject 1t is not such
dreadful matter after all if one loses
sleep. Regular and prolonged sleep IS
not so essential to health as is popularity
supposed The lack OF sleep is not half
as bad for the system as the worry that
one INDUCES in because of it. 1t seems
heartless and unsympathetic often to say
this TO person melancholy because of
lack OF sleep.
Keeping tho Mind Occupied
The many devices of occupying the
mind with trivial thoughts to the ex-
clusion of those in which one is vitality
interested, is founded on sound physio-
logical principles that is,. the mind can
not think intently on two things at once.

Inbrewing the Seasoning

as the soup thickens.
Inbrewing the Seasoning
If the thickening is not put in just
this way it is very likely to harm the
soup, for the -four, becoming suddenly
heated, will lump, and not only spoil
the smoothness, but fail to thicken, SO
that more -four will be necessary. If
in spite Of care-and it will sometimes
happen-the -four humps, strain once
more and return to the stove. Add to
the thickened soup a tablespoonful of
butter, we'll stirred in, teaspOonful Of
salt, one-half saltspoonful of pepper and
one-half saltspoonful Of celery salt.
Some people prefer to use meat in pea
soup, cooking a ham bone with the peas
for the sake Of the favor, and others
use with the peas a piece Of salt pork,
a scant quarter of a pound, in both
cases emitting the butter. This, how
ever, removes it from the list of vege-
table purees to heavier and richer
soup.

= you are trying to cook surprises
and extra dishes for your family,
Il you will discover that they have
lost their relish for salads and cold
desserts, and that when they come in for
dinner nothing will be more welcome
than a well-havored soup. We are to
take the soups without stock, and by

We have been talking Of the values

most as hot as when they are taken
from the stove. This little foreword
about service will be easily understood
if you have ever been served cold and

heat the dishes in which the soup IS to

over an imaginary 8tilc has been found
useful. A very good way to tire out
the mind and to change the current at
thought at the same time, is to recall
pleasant journey that one has taken, and
travel through again in imagination each
hour and each moment Of each hour re-
calling every little detail In this way
the brain is soon wcaried to the sleep
ing point.
The Use OF Drugs
Drugs are valuable in cases in which
the power Of sleep is lost and wakefui-
ness has become habit No one should
take drugs for sleep without the advice
Of a physician Drug habits are worse
thar slecplessness. The same causes
which prevent sleep are often those
which would easily lead the victim TO
dependence upon drugs Morphine
habits have thus been formed. Sui
phona and trional and allied drugs
should be avoided, as they act on the
heart, and i long continued will cause
disease OF that organ.
Drugs are useful to break up Tire
habit of sleeplessncss; and IN cases
where, through long continued lack OF
sleep, the person has become weak and
run down, then under the advice Of
physician take the remedies which are
thought suitable TO the case. A cause
Of sleeplessness which has not been men
toned is poverty of the blood. In such
cases the patient needs iron and tones
and should take them.
One OF the best remedies for sleep
lessness is electricity. The galyanic cur
.reat is used, as that is more sedatiye
than the faradic current. The faradic
current is the one that makes the buzz
ling sound, and is the current given by
the ordinary cheap batteries. That cur
rent is exciting and will not promote
sleep. Electricity should be administered
by one who has knowledge and practice.
