Sleep for the Nervous.
A hot water bottle covered with fam
mel should be placed at the feet. A very
thin silk tissue bag of rubber partially
filled with cold water should be placed
at the base of the brain. This bag can
be about ten inches long and six inches
wide. soft as silk and only half filed
with cold water, so that 1t does not feel
bulky back of the head. In many cases
the patient goes to sleep within few
minutes with this treatment, because
the blood is drawn from the active
brain, which is one cause OF insomnia.

too close, yet rather snug, is an old
method, for it does not retard the foW

but it does retard the flow to the head,

these methods are simple, effective, and
harmless.
A cup of hot milk taken just before
retiring will induce sleep. Those who

RULES OF BUSINESS.
Are to BE More Clearly Defined By the
Supreme Court.

Washington, Dec. 25.-More clearly
defined rules for competition in busi-
ness are to be promulgated by the
supreme court. Within the last few
weeks the court has directed lower
tribunals to send up cases involving
alleged unfair competition for deci-
sions which are expected to be Sec
ond in importance only to the courts
anti trust decisions
The law as to patents and trade
marks has been regarded as compare
lively settled: but few cases involv-
ing the domain Of unfair competf-
tion'' in business have come before tho
court. The gravity of the absence OF
definite rules in that sphere was
brought out in bold relief before the
supreme court recently. when q st.
entire profit from the manufacture
and sale of certain line Of shoes for
four years was about to be turned
over to a Cincinnati rival. The sum
amounted almost to half q million
dollars.
The st. Louis firm had been guilty.
according to the lower courts. of put
ting out shoe with a name resemb-
ling that Of a competitors shoe. That
was alleged to be- unfair. For the
purpose Of argument the st. Louis firm
admitted the unfairness of the trans
action but contended that the amount
of its punishment should only be the
amount of business that it's rival fail
ed to get by reason Of the act. The
lower court held that was not q proper
rule for melting out the proper pun
ishment; but that the erring company'e q
entire profits must be taken away. The
supreme court decided to review the
case.
Many business concerns are said to
be anxious over the outcome Of the liti-
cation. Carelessness in adopting trade
names is said to threaten them with
loss OF all profits for many years. A
rapid change Of trade names would pro-
baby follow decision Affirming the
decision Of the lower court.
Another case the court has decided
to review, involves the question OF
whether q flour mill that unconscious
ly adopted the same name for a brand
of flour as used by another mill, must
turn its profits over to the mill first
using the name. The point has arisen
in the case OF an Illinois flour COM
pany that developed trade for q
brand OF flour in the southeastern
states only to have q demand made
in court that its business be con-
demned as unfair competition be-
cause an Ohio firm had for years been
using the same name for flour in
