"The Gift of Sleep"
ARRANGED BY EDWIN MARKHAM

That Interesting person, Bolton Han,
author OF Three Acres and Liberty and
other books, calls his latest volume "The
Gift OF Sleep" Here is some of Mr..
Halls advice on how TO quiet the mind
for sleep:
Sometimes we cause our own sleepless-
ness unsuspeotlngly. but none the less de-
liberately by the false requirements that
we lay upon ourselves. People often say,
4 could not go TO sleep in room like
that II there is time and opportunity
10 put the room In order, why. do Il! II
there is no time we can resolve, as the
boys say 10 forget IT,
Another person insists always on be-
ing walked up by the last person to come
home in order TO be sure that the house
was closed up. still another cannot go
to sleep TN nc has balanced up every cent
Of petty cash spent that day
Many persons spend the most OF their
thoughts and exhaust themselves over
things that are just as trivial and incon-
sequent as these; though they seem Inn
portant to them. When anything has be-
come such a habit, even though reason
able in Itself, that you cannot sleep with
out IT, you are paying too dear for II and
It is time to change II, There IS danger
even In good habits-they may master us.
III the mind has been so stimulated
that Il cannot relax, there Is little llkell-
hood that sleep will come quickly. bui
we cannot relax by impotence. Tossing
and turning will not quiet the mind; VIC
must either accept the condition calmly
and follow out the train OF thought that
has started or deliberately sldetrRck the
exciting cause. This may be done by
setting up a counter activity in the mind
along quieting lines.
For instance, II one lad walked the
streets late on some such instance as q

New Years celebration IN New York
ana had become stimulated by the crowd
and lights. he might deliberately recall
the most peaceful day In the country that
II had been his fortune ever to know.
IN the same way.I IL one has read an
exciting book, or has seen a thrilling
play, one must either live them over
until the feelings exhaust themselves, be-
cause no longer new, or one may DELHI
erately divert ones self from thinking
or them and devote the attention to more
soothing things. Either course removes
all causes for impotence with the fact
OF wakefuness and leaves tho mind
qmeted' This tends 10 drowsiness, even
IL IL does not really induce sleep.
Sometimes, 1t may help us II We rise
and read some quieting book, not "a
thriller. Such a volume as Thoreau's
walden or that more modern little
volume Adventures in Contentment,' by
David Grayson, or we may repeat some
soothing poem like Tennysons Sweet
and Low or Burroughs MY Own Shall
Come TO Me-. and similar verses.
Amy OF these will help 10 relax ten
sion. and put US in more restful frame
OF mind, and, as minds differ, so some
persons will find books and verses OF
other sorts 10 have the desired effect
upon them.
When We cannot sleep. to rise, throw
back the bedclothes so as to cool the
bed, walk about the room, go 10 the win
dow and fill the lungs with oxygen often
tends to quiet the body and mind. Rise
after a sleepless spell and eat a crust OF
bread, slowly chewing IT, then return Ia
bed and sleep will sometimes come al
once.
I'VE must learn TO know our own need,
and to find out each for himself what
meets them. To know thyself Is only
the first step to control myself"
