SLEEP A GREAT
 BEAUTY TONIC

sleep IS natures most potent medi-
 clne-it relieves the weary. brings
 oblivion to the heart sore and peace
 to those in trouble.
 Just as medicinal tonic arrests
 wasting tissue and creates an appe-
 ute, so sleep brings back temporarily
 exhausted strength and endows us
 Wlth Nigor for future exertion. A
 healthy system calls for sleep just as
 the stomach demands food. though
 It is sorry fact that many people
 are gluttons in both respects.
 It is well known that the natural
 time for sleep is night, and that re-
 pose at that time is productive of the greatest benefit Day slumber, ex- cept In cases of invalids, is usually fltful. uneasy and unsatisfactory. sleep IS necessity, a preserver. and If 1t woes not you. you must court its embrace by heroic or simple methods.
 To bed at 10 if you do not wish to lose your beauty sleep, is a wise and old saw. The two hours before mid night are worth as much as four after that time. Unfortunately. the men and women in my profession are not able to take their sleep at this time, but those who are "healthy. wealthy and wise" make it a general rule to sleep if possible eight hours at least during the twenty four.
 A new theory has been evolved by a French scientist, Prof. NJ. A. Mouneyrat. in regard to a sleep pro- ducing element in the atmosphere which he calls 'somnifer." but which he has not yet been able to separate or identify satisfactorily.
 In the woods and in the fields it can be obtained in abundance. and prob ably for this reason city people who are troubled with insomnia do not find it necessary to woo sleep when far away from the dust laden atmos- phere
 Professor Mouneyrat is great automobile enthusiast, and as "somni- 1 fer is produced by air currents. a | motor ride, in his estimation, is the | greatest sleep producer within the | reach of humanity. It is an intensi- fled air bath, pouring over the body | md through the lungs.
 This air bath is also a splendid tonic for nerve fatigue. A half day spent in speeding through the country | VIII be found more relaxing and 'urative to the sufferer from insOm- lia and fatigue than months of lol- ing around on a summer hotel ve- anda. But the ride must be through 'ural districts. in woods and fields, where the air is laden with "somni- CT Pine treas possess a universally ,nown sleep element
 Lettuce and onions are laden with plum. and the idea suggests iteslf hat those plants which secrete sleep 'roducing alkaloids, such as the Opi- nm poppy, the passion flower and he sleepy grass" may be engaged in he business of manufacturing som ifer" and storing it away in an i'm ure but highly concentrated form
 A brisk walk in the open air arm bath, followed by a light mas aging of the body, then a total re- lXation of all muscles, after getting , ito bed, will woo sleep. Give your elf the feeling that the bed is hold lg you, sink into it, and you should Oon win the favor of the tickle god ess. often ones position in bed prevents eep. Changing from one side to an , her. or lying flat on the back without
 pillow. will prove beneficial. I ave already given you the Hindu ,medy for insomnia. but the woman hO suffers incessant from this an owing trouble should consult a phy- clan, for continued loss of sleep will ,on work havoc with her health and eauty. Remember-sleep not only brings aauty to your waking hours, but so brings health in its train-Lillian '. ussell.
