that as soon as the line is compile

nation has been received as to
where they will cross the Rock Is

an effort made to secure this line

WARM BATH TO INDUCE SLEEP
Effect Of Water, with a Liberal Dash
Of Ammonia, 10 to Dlspel Un-
natural Fatigue.

l have frequently heard young peo-
pie, especially girls say that after a
dance or ball, they are totally unfit
for anything all the next day, and
very often they are unable to sleep
owing to fatigue and long hours In a
heated atmosphere.
Now, propose an unfailing rem
edy for this state OF things. True, 1t
may entail little trouble and delay
going to bed, but only few minutes.
My advice--is to have warm bath,
to which q liberal dash OF ammonia
has been added. Do not remain In the
bath, but jump into the warm water,
sponge the body all over and then dry
quickly. Sleep, sweet and restful. will
follow. There will be no twitching OF
the limbs through over-fatigue, and
you will wake some hours afterward
with an appetite for breakfast and
ready to enjoy q brisk walk In the
fresh air.
In these modern days there is no
difiiculty about hot water, and there
should be no excuse for neglecting
this advice. 1t must be remembered.
also, that the body must shave been in
state OF perspiration for many
hours, and the warm bath with am
monis Is not only cleansing but will
prevent your taking cold.
