Beehive Bombs.

with beehives." says this patriot.
Let each aviator carry one or two
hives and launch them on the foe

several days. Then our men would
have nothing 10 do but 70 end them

choiogy and Parenthood." etc.
In fighting sleeplessness have found
nothing so helpful as simple procedure
based on the conditions which recent
psychological experiment has proved to
be fundamental to sleep. These are:
Mental and muscular relaxation, limi-
tation of voluntary movement, and mo-
notony 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 hight from the moon
or street lamp, seems to stand out clear
ly from its surroundings. Having Sc
lected this spot, assume comfortable
position in bed, taking care that you lie
in such way that you can see the spot
on the wall without straining 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 il seems remote
and indistinct.
Be sure not 70 try to get full view
of it. That would mean tension, not re-
taxation, and would defeat your purpose.
Your gaze at the spot, while steady,
must be without any straining of the at
tention.
Soon, if you have continued to lie per-
fectly quiet and 10 think Of nothing but
the spot on the wall, you will find your
eye-lids grow heavy and close completely.
Open them half way, as before, and re-
sumo 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 il
impossible to open them, for you will be
sound asleep.
Even If your room be in total darkness
you can still make use Of this Sleep
bringing method by calling up before
your minds eye some imaginary object
and gazing at II between half-closed lids
exactly as though ii were really before
you. Remember, however, that you must
lie perfectly still, moving neither your
hands nor your legs. ~
Try this device the next time you are
troubled by wakefulness. From personal
experience ! am satisfied that, IL you
follow IL faithfully In it's details, you win
find that 1t works IKE q charm.

How she will wish she was back in
those girlish days when Harold still
brought her chocolates and the alarm
clock held no terrors for her!
How she will long for the old order OF
things when mother ironed the shirt
waists and left her 10 dream how she and
Harold might keep a bright red auto!
We see her separated for the first time
from her husband, when each makes a
field bed where possible among the
boxes, crates, canned fruit and new
chairs.
And sleeping apart from his manly
arm the crash of fiat iron falling from
the piano in the still night echoes like
the crack of doom through the vacant
rooms.
She dreams uncanny dreams Of Indians
and robber knights and starts up at their
imaginary cries.
But the cries, she finds later, only en-
anate from her brave husband. whose
feet, in his sleep, have fallen OF the
ironing board into the cactus.
But in time they get settled.

in place over the parlor door and the lost

Peace finally abides.

to buy home of their own, real home

trees, home to come back to instead of

DANGERS of Middle Age Can Be Prevented
Blu Caring for Health In Early Life

I'VE find that we have at that
time Of life what are called degen-
erative diseases. diseases IN which
the vital organs have gone TO pieces
one way or the other from various
causes.
THE point I want TO make about
those diseases is this: BY the time
those degenerations have been SO
established that anybody knows they
are there and they can be given o
name and treated as a disease, by
that time the Jig IL up. II Is too late.
"Oh. yes. you can patch II along.
you can temporize, you can adjust.
you can do all sorts OF limitation
things. but II In too late to do much
about that class OF diseases, and
that r. the class OF diseases with
which we as physicians are dealing
all the time and In increasing
numbers along In those two decades
OF life.
The question Of maintaining
health is very largely question OF
what you won't do. not a question OF
what you do. tits purely question
Of self-discipline. Purely question
OF first seeing what 70 do and then
having the sand 10 do e."
