Sleeplessness

We all experience from time to time the
feeling of sleeplessness; the head falls
upon the pillow. but 1t may be few
hours before you actually go to sleep.
and even then with a readiness TO wake
up at the slightest sound.
You may not exactly realize how serious
is the outcome of this condition If allowed
to go on. 1t is form of nervousness
which may prove to be the foterunner
of many complaints.
To use your brain power until a late
hour at night is a certain "anti-sleeping','
draught Let it be remembered that sleep
is the next important item to food in
keeping the body in healthy condition.
You may find the following simple ex-
ercse helpful; it has certainly proved a
good corrective in many cases of sleep
lessness. When ready for bed lie fiat on
your back, removing the pillow so that
the head is on the same level place the
hands under the back. take a deep breath,
hold it for a few seconds and then exhale
Keep the eyes partly closed and think
about nothing but the slow breathing;
counting to a certain number for each
breath taken may help you in this re-
spect. Repeat the exercise two or three
times. and you will shortly fall into a
sound sleep.

NNT3Y the other day case appeared
Oin the papers in which French
woman residing on Long Island was so
crushed by the deaths Of her nearest
relatives In the war that her mind be-
came deranged grief brought on violent
mania and she had to be removed to
the insane asylum.
Her case strikes one as exceptional
and vet It has parallel in hundreds Of
others which remain more or less in
obscurity, but which are none the less
terrible News came to this French
woman from her old home in Alsace that
her two brothers had been killed, then
her brother -in-law, and finally her
nephew.
shortly after the reception Of this news
more information came. II appeared that
her father, aged so. and her mother,
aged rs, had got in the line OF fire and
been shot down. and that her old home
had been rddled with shot and burned
with all it's contents Small wonder then
that the mind of the unhappy woman
should give way under the terrible loss!
Another case appeared recently where
a mother. Russian woman, had lost
five sons. one after the other, in the
war. She did not go mad with grief
though her heart was we'll nigh broken
Instead she set to work with redoubled
energy on behalf of the poor soldiers

and poverty all her life, has cultivated

anxious mammas are busily engaged

numerous dresses of this kind, beautifully

WOMEN IN

SorrOw as the Great LeUeLer

knitting In your hands, Maggie?" asks
one Of her brothers.
And Maggie looks at him. wondering
that he should know so little of women.
"If we women didn't knit. we would go
mad" she says. knitting is what pre-
vents us!"
The women of the world have taken
upon themselves the very hardest sort
of work so that their men can go off to
the front and fight for home and coun-
try. In London, the Parliamentai secre-
tary to the Board of Trade dec ares that
the total number of women registered for
special war service up to April l6 was
approximately 1900. OF whom over 5000
had entered their names as willing to un-
dertake armament work. In connection
with the production of armaments, some
of the principal factories had informed
the Board Of Trade that they would need
during the next few months an additional
number of women amounting to 1900.
II is n great and wonderful thing that
the women of England have such avenues
of work open to them. without work to
do. the mental strain Of idle waiting
would be too much and they would break
down under the load of suspense. For
idle waiting is the hardest thing in the
whole world to bear.
The wealthy Edinburgh lady who Is
running one of the street trolley cars,
thereby allowing the driver to go off to
the front with the knowledge that his
weekly salary is going to his wife and
family as usual, has solved a problem
for herself as well as for the driver For
in hard work she will have less time
for broodlng over the mischances Of war
which may come to those she loves.
Wartime is a great leveler For war
means devastation and sorrow-and sor-
row is the greatest leveler of all. When
1t comes to the loss of husbands. brothers,
and sweethearts. 1t is true that
