FIGHTING INSOMNIA.
Some Advice About How to Woo "Na

Some Advice About How to Woo "Na-
ture's Sweet Restorer."
In fighting sleeplessness | have found
nothing so helpful as a simple Pre-
cedure based on the conditions which
recent psychological experiment has
proved to be fundamental to sleep.
/ These are:
! Mental and muscular relaxation, lin
ltatiOn of voluntary movement ant
mOnotOny of sensation.
To obtain these the next time you
find yourself wakeful select on the
wall of your room some ornament or
spot which. by reason of a ray of light
from the moon or street lamp, seems
to stand out clearly from its surround
ings. Having selected this spot, as
sumo a comfortable position in bed.
taking care that you lie in such a way
that you can see the spot on the wall
without stTaining any part of your
body.
Next remaining perfectly mOtionless
and thinking Of nothing but the spot
on the wall. gaze at it through half
closed lids in such a way that 1t seems
remote and indiStmct.
Be sure not to try to get a full view
of It. That would mean tension. not
relaxation. and would defeat your pur-
pose. Your gaze at the spot. while
steady. must be without any straining
of the attention.
Soon. if you have continued to lie
perfectly quiet and to think of nothing
but the spot on the wall. you will find
your eyelids grow heavy and close COM
pletely open them half way, as be-
fore. and resume the process of gazing.
They will again grow heavy and
close. when you must if you can, open
them once more. Before long you will
find it impossible to open them, for you
will be sound asleep.
Even If your room be in total dark
ness you can still make use Of this
sleep bringing method by calling up
before your minds eye some imaginary
object and gazing at It between half
closed lids exactly as though it were
really before you Remember, how
ever, that you must lie perfectly still,
moving neither your hands nor your
legs.
Try this device the next time you are
by wakefulness. From per-
sonaI experience l am satisfied that, If
you follow it faithfully in its details.
you will find that it works like a

Iberian Case Analogous
to That of Armenian

Washington, July 31.-Nothing to
complcate the matters at issue be-
tween the United States and Germany
is soea by State Department officials
in the attack or the Leyland liner
Iberian, in wlich one American was
killed. 1t is not believed that in any
of it's aspects the case warrants add
tional representations TO Germany by
this country. Nor is it believed that
the attack on the Iberian could be in
any way construed as coming within
the scope of tn deliberately unfriend-
ly" warning in President Wilson's last
note.
The case is considered to a large de-
gree analogous, in so far as information
al law is concerned, 20 that OF the Ar
menian, also a Leyland liner, which
was shelled and sunk by submarine
after attempting TO escape by night.
Several Americans lost their lives IN
the attack on the Armenian, but the
State Department, recognizing the fact
that the shells were fired TO arrest the
fight of the merchantmen after her
commander had disobeyed mllder warn
ings TO stop, concluded that the sub
marine commander was within his
rights. and decided there was no ground
for protest.
In view Of the fact that the Iberian
was westward bound, however. officials
are expressing some surpri-e that Ger
many seems disposed 10 take the chance
of complications. No military ad-
vantage could possibly -ccrIe from the
destruction Of the vessel, whereas cir
cumstances might easily have arisen
in the course of the attack which would
have necessitated protest from the
United States, with possible grave con-
sesuences.

keep out curiosity seekers. Detectives
from -hicago were scattered about the
