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

How to get to sleep. when every de vice faiIa and one feels desperate, is a matter worth solving. especially fl there be simple methods that can be tried.
 A well-known lecturer on hygiene, whom & very sleepless wonian con suited or the subject Of bad nights. gave her. valuable advice. the efficacy of whicto 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, Tor if that IS not com fortable in any downward fashion"
 Sometimes you may find 1t foy the moment resttul to clasp tho arms above the head. but on DO account give way to the habit of doing so. for this position drives away the blood from the heart and sends it to tha head, causing uneasy dreams, and therefore restlesanesn, and may even prevent sleep altogether.
 Gently close your mouth and breathe through your nose, This ia highly important. Then Let all the muscles of the facs sud neck be rs- faxed. and all musclea Of the body, too"
 Women Of mature age should be as careful aa girls to xss that they sleep with the mouth shut. for this habit combats & tendency, growing with thu 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.

There arc microbes that are menacing the church with dire de teats; they're bacilli that produce the plague entitled Vacant Seats.

If diagnosis we would make of churches void of heat, we'd find the mercury had dropped down In the vacant seat. church's health to save, because this situation Is becoming very grave. Napoleon wished once. 'tis said. to break a conquered bell; his soldiers swung their hammers free, and pound ed hard and well: but firm. uninjured. strong. 1t stood. resisting every stroke, until they hit from the inside, and then. 1t quickly broke. Thus what the church needs most to fear, Is not the outside sin. but spineless, lackadaisical inanity within. And that which blocks and trips the church, and rolls her down the stair, Is the nominal adherent who, however. isn't there. If we could but eliminate this stunting empty seat. the church would soar in glorious flight, amazingly complete.
