CAN YOU SLEEP?

Can you sleep? II you cannot, you are
being deprived Of one of the rights Of
every man. woman and child in tho
world.
troubled sleep impossible. But many men
and women, and even children, do not
sleep we'll. who should do SO.
Sometimes q wrong physical condition
accounts for sleeplessness. Sometimes 1t
is the mental condition that Is wrong.
Sometimes 1t Is the environment of the
! would-be sleeper.
Worry and hurry SO agitate the mind
that it is dificult to relax and sleep
peacefully. and wakefulness often results
to the tired business man or the over
wrought woman. Self-control. a con-
scious effort to eliminate worry from the
mind and pleasant conversation or light
exercise. a soothing bath or a little quiet
reading just before bedtime will some
times put even the worried, nervous per-
son into the right condition for sleep.
Food has much to do with sleepless-
ness. Sometimes the wrong sort Of food
causes just enough digestive disturbance
to cause restlessness. Again. hunger
causes wakefulness. So II you are wake
full try eating a graham cracker. or sip
ping half a glassful Of warm milk, flavor
ed with nutmeg or red pepper. just be-
fore going to bed: or. If you eat rich and
hearty food. try substituting fruit for
heavier desserts for a week. eat less
meat, and indulge in all the delicious
summer vegetables that you like.
With little children. an error In diet
often causes wakefulness. and II you
cannot find out that the wakeful child's
diet is either too heavy or too light. con-

in at the bottom and letting 1t hang
loose at the sides, to permit the air to
circulate. Use wash blankets and thin
spread that can be laundered every week
or two. When the weather Is very warm
remove everything but the lower sheet.
Then fasten the upper sheet a foot above

SIX MILLION WOMEN,

DIX iNliilOn men klllcQ! nat Is the
figure eonservatively given of the
number of men who have lost their
lives since the war broke out in Eu-
rope year ago. There are 6,ooo, 900
men whose part in the frightful
butchery is over. What of the 6,ooo,-
600 women they have left?
1t is one of those things that is
hard to imagine. Like the figures
that tell us OF the distance of the
earth from the SUN it is too large
for us to comprehend all at once.
It is not SO hard to realize, though,
that each one of the 100000 men
who has gone has left a void that
never can be filled. For they were
all of the nations best. They were
the youngest and the strongest They
were the men who had young wives
and young children, the men who left
brides at home or sweethearts who
now never will be brides. Every one
of them left some woman whose life
is now wrecked. Then when you
have realized what the going away
of one such young, strong man would
mean, multiply this 100000 times.
That is what the war means to
women
Imagine if you can all the women
in the nine largest cities in the
United States-all of the. women in
New York City, Chicago, Philadel-
phia, St. Louis, Boston, Cleveland,
Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and Detroit
and even then you have not quite
o,ooo, 900 women. You would have to
imagine more than that, for in those,
nine largest cities of the United States
all the females of any age do not
quite equal 100000.
What will the protest of these
o,ooo,o 600 women amount to- Will
they suffer mutely, blindly, stupidity
drag out their desolate existence and
leave no lasting memorial of their
misery? That is what women of other
ages have done. Or will their voice
of their complaint be heard in some
way that will make future war i'm
possible?
Surely if 6,ooo, 900 women had been
swept away in single year the men
they left bereaved would not be so !
patient, so stupid. so forgiving.

I'm Finland, where all are poor"
said Miss lnez Weed, special inves-
tigator OF women and labor for the
Commission on Industrial Relations
recently, the question of the working
woman and her household duties has
been solved admirably. They have
large cooperative apartments where
some one does the cleaning for them,
the cooking which is sent to their
own private dining rooms, and takes
care OF their children. Thus only
will the home of the poor woman be
a mt place for the rearing of her
children. Every woman must work,
and there must be division of labor
IN the womanly professions, just as
there is in every well-managed fac
tory owned by men"
