THE BRAIN IN SLEEP.
Changes In the Volume Of Blood Cir

Changes In the volume OF biood Cir
euiation When We Dream.
Dreams are due to an increase OF
sensation and circulation over that
which exists In profound sleep. Obser-
vations made upon patients with era
NAL defects show that when we are
dreaming the brain is greater In vol
ume than In deep sleep and less than
when we are awake. Thus this inter
mediate volume OF blood would indi-
cate that dreams are an intermediate
stage between unconsciousness and
wakefulness and their Incomplete and
irregular intelligence would indicate
the same thing. This increased circu-
lation IL usually due to sensory stimu-
lation affecting the yasomotor center
and causing Il return OF blood TO the
head. with resultant increased con-
seriousness.
Contrary to popular belief. dreams In
themselves do not contribute TO light
or broken sleep In which they are
present Such condition Is due to
the ever present stimuli. which accord

HOUSEHOLD RENOVATION.



The kitchen is one OF the most i'm
portant rooms in the house TO come in
for its share Of renovating, and col
umns could be written with advice on
the subject. As IL is, taken i'm a nut
shell. there are many small bits of
wisdom which when learned will renew
the brilliancy to the pots, kettles and
pans. and prolong the life of many
kitchen utensils.
Sooty kettles should be rubbed well
with soap, and then washed in hot
sudss afterward securing with bath
brick dust.
To cleanse new tin vessels pour In
boiling water with about a teaspoonful
of potash, and boil for ten minutes,
efterward rinsing out with clear water.
To clean frying pans warm the pan
slightly and pour off all the grease,
scatter in it tablespoonful of salt,
and rub with paper until all the grease
is absorbed and then wash.
A bottle of kerosene and a bottle OF
are necessary accessories to
a sink.
a few drops Of ammonia In a frying
pan will work wonders, also in the
coffee pot occasionally when 1t is
scalded.
Galvanized iron and agateware
should be wiped with kerosene. as too
frequent use OF sand soap wears away
the enamel.
If an agateware pan Is burnt put a
teaspoonful OF borax or washing soda
i'm the pan with hot water. and boil
for fifteen minutes or so.
