ToDAY'S HEALTHoGRAM

If you have insomnia try the good
old-fashioned hop bag. The best plan
is to get quantity of dried hops from
the chemist and pack a small pillow
evenly with the material. Place this
on a larger supporting pillow. To
get the best results the pillow should
be packed with fresh hops every few
months. Some obstinate cases have
been cured in this way.

London Nov. 14.-I1owever import
ant the operations in Flanders and

overshadowed both in extent and the

Russian infantry and artillery in force
are said to be within striking distance
of the German frontier.

ince of Bukowina is at an end and
that the way is opened for the inva-
sion of Pennsylvania.
The Petrograd correspondent of the

Poland up to the Vistula, wintering at
Warsaw and Ivangorod, and when es-
tablished there, to aid Austria to re-
cover Galicia.
