HOW TO SLEEP ON HOT NIGHTS

How to secure a good nights
sleep in hot weather is often q most
trying problem, especially to the
sick. Here is a method that I find
successful: I pour cold water in a
hot water bottle until about half
full, screw top partly on, then with
one hand squeeze upper part of
bottle until all air has been forced
out. Then I tighten the top and
a soft, pliable pillow is the result.
I wrap this in a towel or slip it
inside the pillow case, and lay my
head so that the bottle is at the
back of my neck. In few mo-
ments I am cool and comfortable
and sleep quickly follows. Just try
