The Cure for Insomnia.

Insomnia is almost invariably the re.
suit of some nervous tension or excite
ment that forbids mind and body to re-
lax in slumber. In its mild forms, be-
lieve it is largely matter of habit,
which people form by lying awake and
thinking after they get into bed. Their
cure is that of the Irishman, who said
that when he started to go to sleep he
paid attention to it."
Too much mental exertion and too lit
tie physical exercise will often cause
sleeplessness. A person who has ten
dency to insomnia for this reason should
always try to get good long, brisk walk
in the evening. If this is impossible,
some vigorous physical culture exercise
Indian clubs or dumb bells are good
just before retiring will often work won
ders. OF course a well-yentilated sleep
ing room is absolutely necessary for
restful slumber, says Nine. Jeanne La
Place, in Woman's World.
But after all, the most common and
fundamental cause for insomnia is fear
the dread that we are not going to sleep.
If the idea occurs to you or forces itself
upon you that you are going to lie
awake, contradict the notion fatty. As
sure yourself that of course you are 60
ing to sleep-thst sleep is natural and
desirable, and that you have a right
to it.
When you get into bed, relax physical
ly and mentally. Get into comfortable
position and lie still-don't toss and
tumble about. Keep the mind quiet
don't allow it to go off on some inter-
estinp or exciting train of thought sim
ply lie quiet and wait for sleep.
But of course there are cases where
the nervous tension is SO intense that
mind and body absolutely refuse to be
soothed into this sleep-inviting attitude.
If you don't find yourself in this con-
dition, don't try counting sheep or recit-
ing poetry; such expedients only in
crease the malady by keeping the mind
on the thought of sleeplessness.
The grand remedy for sleeplessness is
to give up trying to sleep. 1t won't hurt
you to stay awake all night if you
must; you will be sure to sleep all the
better the next night. At any rate, you
can lie and rest. Get up if you feel like
it, get drink of water, rearrange your
bed clothing. Make yourself as COM
Portable as possible.
Now calmly and deliberately make up
your mind to wait for morning. Let
your thoughts wander idly as they
please, only keep the idea of rest in your
mind as much as possible. There isn't
more than one chance in hundred that
you won't fall off to sleep within 10
minutes.

Table oilcloth catches fire almost as
easily as paper. One housekeeper, in
ignorance of this fact, left large lamp
burning in her kitchen, not directly I'M
der, but near shelf covered with oil
cloth. Returning to the room after a
brief absence, she found the shelf and its
cover burning briskly, and but for her
cool head and prompt action the fire de-
partment might have had call. As it
was, she suffered severely from burns on
her hands and from nervous shock.
To clean coat collars, try the follow
ing way; instead of cloth, which has
to be kept in motion for long while to
avoid leaving ring, in place of it use
an old tooth brush. Dip it into the

a few brisk rubs and the spot or CRIME

vet can be cleaned in this way, though
it would not be advisable to use brush

BRAINY BASE RUNNERS
Wagner and Cobb, Two Bag
Stealers, Use Judgment.
PIttsburp putchman Made Many pou-
blss BY Stretching Pure Singles Into
Two-eagusrs- Georgia Peach Stud
lee Pitchers.

Proper base running, such as the
New York Giants indulge in. consists
in taking chances without being too
reckless. Nothing is ever gained by
the conservative runner who sticks
close to his base until the ball is hit
over the fence. The followers of the
old army game will win only a small
portion Of the games for ball club.
On the other hand, the reckless run
ner, who is always getting pinched
off at the most critical stages. Is
about equally worthless. A combina-
ton of aggressiveness and caution Is
the right dope for successful base
running. A better way to put II would
be aggressiveness tempered by good
judgment. Every pitcher has plenty
OF little signs unknown to himself
which an observant runner can soon
get next to. If more base runners use
their brains to detect these signs and
take advantage of them there would
be more bases stolen. The man who
is smart enough always to take an ex-
ira base when the opportunity offers
is the winning player.
For years Wagner OF Pittsburg led
the league In two-base hits. He was
a hard hitter. to be sure, but the rea-
