Drugs are useful to break UP thu

thought suitable to the case A cause
of s1eep1essness which has not been men

One of the best remedies for sleep

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 a biscuit, a slice of
bread and butter. or some other light
refreshment. such as has been found to

for time A hot bath is excellent for
that kind of sleeplessness, 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 a cold compress placed on the
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

sideration of the subject. 1t is not such
a 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 1t. 1t seems
heartless and unsympathetic often to say
this to a person melancholy because OF
lack of sleep.

! " Americans IS insomnia The
- national cry IS, How can l
get enough Sleep" To answer this
question It Is necessary III the first place
to determine how much sleep Is neCes-
sary; and IN the next place to find out
the cause or causes which prevent It.
The amount Of sleep necessary varies
with the individual Some require more
than others, and among such are nervous
people The length OF time one sleeps
depends upon habit. There are those
who contend that the majority Of people
sleep too much, that they are rendered
inert and stupid IN consequence
The regulation amount Of time to
spend IN sleep IS generally set down as
eight hours Those whO'lcld an active
life in the midst Of The whiri and ex
element OF the city require more sleep
than those who spend their days in COM
paratiye tranquility.
Causes Of Insomnia
The causes OF insomnia are many It
may be that the room IS not sufficiently
ventilated. One cannot sleep II a room
that IS close o. overheated- The super
stition that night air IS unhealthy Is

strated that health has been restored,

One IS often rendered sleepless when
buried under too many bed-COthes- The
head should not be too high; besides
oftentirnes preventing sleep. It makes one
rOund-shOuldered. Tea and coffee taken
at night will often keen one awake Tea
and coffee IN any great amount are bad
for the nerves and the heart, and should
not be INDUCED in too freely by anyone
at any time
The digestion and food have much to
do with insomnia. Everyone knows the
wakeiulness caused by Over-eatIng or
taking into the stomach before going TO
bed that which IS rich and indigesuble;
if sleep itself IS not banlshed, the SUM
Der IS disturbed by unpleasant dreams
and nightmares. Sleeplessness may also
be occasioned by hunger. which gives a
