TO PROCURE SLEEP
OBSERVANCE or NATURAL CON.
DITIoNs ESSENTIAL.
Certain Laws That Must BE Obeyed
II Insomnia Is to Be Conquered
Preserving the WelI-Being
of the Body.

Two sad letters have come to me.
One says: Can you tell me of any
harmless sleeping powder that l can
take? can't sleep and my looks are
being ruined" The other asks more
calmly for tonic for nervousness"
and adds: II cannot sleep or eat |
am SO nervous and restless. hope
you can help me-"
Where shall / begin my answer?
With common sense, it seems to me,
with the warning that neither drugs
nor nostrums will promote either
healthful or identifying sleep; with
advice to these two women. and to
all others who suffer in similar
way. to look first to Nature for the
cure of this great i'll.
The healthy body is the one that
knows the great boon of sleep as a
matter of course, so If the soft I'M
consciousness that "knits up the raw
eled sleeve of care" is denied you, you
may be sure that something is wrong
with the casket that holds your rest
less spirit Are your habits of life
regular, reasonable, which is to say,
hygienic? Are the hours for your
meals prompt, is the food itself well
cooked and of a digestible and nour.
ishing sort? Do you drink plenty of
water-quite three pints day are
ecessary-breathe deeply, sleep in a
well-ventilated room, exercise out
doors and void the bowels at least
once thoroughly in every "a hours
All of these things, and more like
unto them-the warm bath that
cleanses the skin and soothes the
nerves, for instance-are necessary
for the body's well being.
In short, sensible and regular habits
Of life constitute the first and really
only sure cure for sleeplessness,
which is the sensitive temperament's
way of showing that something is
wrong. Two weeks of regular living
alone would put the worst nerves in
something like order, so unless wom-
an is desperately i'll in some other
way, there is no excuse for her not
sleeping. Drugs are out of the ques-
ion for the ordinary case of sleep
Iessness, and no tonic, however good,
will in itself alone reach the root of
The matter. The habits of life must

wakefulness and sleep to come at their
light times and to be good and
wholesome and identifying.

we can only add to the praise ex-
tended by us last year. 1t was the
healthiest plant we had on the place,
the first to get into bloom, and every
flower was perfect the entire season;
which, in our location, was a most
trying one, owing to the extended
drought.
In justice to the many florists and
seedsmen who have stocked up on
Jack Rose, it is only fair to say that
no attention should be paid to detri-
mental remarks made by inexperi-
enced growers. or even experienced
growers, who only know the variety

verse conditions. in the face of the
perfect flowers produced by competent
growers in probably the worst season
we have experienced in the last 25
years with the exception perhaps Of
1895.
Another thing not to be forgotten is
the forcing quality of Jack Rose,
which is even to-day being placed on
the market and sold at prices far
above chrysanthemums, as 1t has that
brilliant rich crimson that appeals to
all. and cannot be found in the
chrysanthemum; a decidedly richer
shade than found even in Jacqueminot
rose.
Perhaps one of its best qualities is
largely responsible for the criticism

Then the tramp outdoors lifts the
mind to higher plane, the troubled

once all humankind lived outdoors, is

body's breathing is done through
them. If the hot bath at night pro-
notes wakefulness, 1t had better be
taken in the day, but if it can be
taken without this effect, then all the
better, for in this case it will be still
another aid toward sleep. But remem-

using it. A medicated bath is also
sometimes of enormous benefit In
cases of sleeplessness.

FEEDING THE
LITTLE CHICKS
Should BE Given Nothing Until
Forty-Eight Hours Old to
Check Inroads of In
digestion.
CBy BESSIE L. PUTNAM.)

Avoid feeding the little chicks until
48 hours old. 1t is hard to resist the
vociferous demands for something, but
it is a great deal easier than to check
the inroads of Indigestion few days
later.
Give fresh water and grit before
food, and let the first meal be not
more than they will pick up in five
minutes, including the learning how
to eat.
Five times day for meals, and five
minutes at a meal, should be the rule
for the first two weeks. Then lessen
TO four and soon to three meals daily.
Clean the feeding board after every
meal, and If milk is given the dish
must be cleaned and scalded daily.

Scarfs In Variety.

1t seems women cannot possess too
many scarfs, and certainly the variety
is legion. Chiffon scarfs, Syrian
draperies, Turkish clouds, Spanish
lace, spangles, net, gauze have all had
a tremendous run, and now comes the
Madeira theater model. This new
conner is really best described by say
ing it looks like an extremely long
bureau or sideboard cloth. 1t goes
without saying that the foundation is
exceedingly sheer, while the needle
work is delicate and dainty. The
edge is scalloped and buttonholed all

LITTLE study of the pattern
A hats shown in this group will
~ make the reader familiar with
three of the very best models IN
elegant millinery. The black chip hat
on the standing figure has a medium
high crown with a crushed band about
it of wide velvet ribbon. The full
rosette of white lace is centered with
a jet cabochon. A big spray OF arti-
fetal wheat made of white silk fiber
springs from this aigrette. Black and
white is a beautiful combination and
harmonizes with any costume. The
hat having flower crown of violets
and chrysanthemum is all in laven-
der and amethyst shades with the
satin facing shading off toward pink
the color known as pink-lavender
Wide ribbon is crushed about the base
of the crown and three loops at the
right make sprightly finish.

Homemade Buckles,

There is no end to the possibilities
of fine wire and the metallic laces, if
one has the slightest ingenuity. A
charming buckle few days ago was
made from scrap of this net sewed
to the wire outline. 1t was long in
shape and not wide. All the wire was
concealed under mock jewels, sewed
in no especial order of coloring, and
the buckle destined to catch a dra.
perry arranged under the arms and
ending at the bust. For millinery
purposes these homemade buckles
are exceedingly effective.
