When You Can't Sleep.

There is all odd theory. which many
people believe and which is certainly
harmless. that sleap!essness may often
be cured in the following odd way:
Move your bed out into the room 30
that no part Of bed or covers will touch
the wall. Then place under each caster
Of the bed piece OF rubber or a rubber
overshoe or set the caster in a thick
glass dish. Tnen go to bed, making
sure the covers do not touch the wall.
Thus the bed and yourself will be cut
off from all electric contact with doc:
or wall. Such absence of electric con-
tact, it is claimed. will make you sleep
better. 1t is said to have cured stub
born cases of insomnia.
