METHODS OF INDUCING SLEEP
Relaxation Of tho Mind and Muscles
10 the Principal Thing to Keep
In Mind.

How to get to sleep, when every de-
vice fails and one feels desperate, IL
matter worth solving, especially II
there be simple methods that can be
tried.
A Well-known lecturer on hygiene,
whom a very sleepless woman con-
suited on the subject OF bad nights,
gave her. valuable advice, the efficacy
of whicts she has proved.
"Stretc. out your limbs to the full
length, with the arms rather close to
the sides OF the body, and straight
down." said he, cor II that is not COM
Portable, in any downward fashion"
Sometimes you may find 1t for the
moment restful to clasp the arms
above the head, but on no account
give way to the habit of doing 80, for
this position drives away the blood
from the heart and sends 1t to the
head, causing uneasy dreams, and
therefore restlessness. and may even
prevent sleep altogether.
Gently close your mouth and
breathe through your nose. This is
highly important Then let all the
muscles Of the face and neck be re-
laxed, and all muscles of the body,
too"
Women Of mature age should be as
careful as girls to see that they sleep
with the mouth shut, for this habit
combats tendency, growing with the
years, to drop or protrude the jaw as
the face is settling to sleep. A closed
mouth and relaxed muscles help to
keep you young looking.
Above all. sleep on your right side.
Wonderful for inducing sleep is

MAKE WIGS OF SPUN GLASS
Natural Hair Becoming Scarce, Deal
ers in Artificial Product Are
Driven to Extremltles.

No one outside the artificial hair
business knows the difficulty that
merchants in hair-goods have expert
enced in getting material of sufficient
quality-especially in braids--at any
thing like the prices which most peo-
pie are willing to pay. Many coun-
tries, indeed, place such restrictions
on wig-makers, owing to hygienic rea-
SOILS, that natural hair is becoming
more and more rare.
IN certain parts of France the ex-
pedient was resorted to of making
wigs from certain fibrinous plants;
especially was this done with those
which have served to furnish mate
rial for rugs and blankets. BY split
ting the fibers very fine and treating
them chemically, 1t was possible to
make artificial hair, but the labor in

complaints were made that the substi-
tute was not satisfactory. Horsehair
was treated to like process Of d.
vision and Frightening, but the imita-
tion, except for the very poor class OF
trade, signally failed. Now, thanks to
series Of experiments, it has been
found possible to utilize spun crystal
for the purpose, reducing 1t to any
shade which may be desired and to
any degree of finenes. Indeed, the
resemblance to human hair Is said to
be all but absolute. The new product
