THE GOOD HEALTH
QUESTION BOX
By DIR. JOHN HARVEY KELLOGG

| THERE are many methods used TO in.
l. duce sleep-ltue tricks that do not
make one more wakcful, but tend to pro-
duce drowsiness.
There is tho common method Of getting
In "A comfortable position. closing the eyes
and picturlng a broad meadow surrounded
by stone wall There are beautiful leocy
clouds In the sky and there is sound Of
bells In the distance flock Of sheep wish
to get over the wall into the meadow-or
out Of it--and you begin TO count the sheep
as you see them jumping over the wall. one
after another, and as every fifth sheep goes
over, you hear n bell from the distant
church, which you count Between the
counting Of the sheep Pnd the bells, you will
soon fall asleep
Then there is the use-furnshng way:
take your own home and refurnsh it, room
by room; or build n new house and fur.
nsh IT, You win be asleep before you leave
the first floor.
Here is very successful way Of wooIng
sleep. put yourself in comfortable position
and then close your eyes, having piece
Of paper on the bed under your hand and
every time you take deep breath. You
see, you have to keep your attention on
the matter In order TO put down that little
mark. You are doing two things. taking
tho deep breath, which is muscular. and
brings in oxygen and helps burn up the
poisons; then you are also making a little
mark that moves the muscles of your
arm slightly, but not enough to arouse
you or keep you awake.
Sometimes repeating rhymes and jinglcs
taking fun, deep breaths between words or
lines, will hasten sleep or lying in GER
tain position may work IN other cases. One
man can always sleep if he lies on his left
side and reads few minutes. Many
people try the reading plan, but reading
In bed is not hygenic and It Is better to
form some other go-to-sleep habit.
All these tricks are useless for person
whose physical condition is such as TO
prevent sleep. For example, If one is con-
stipated an uneasy sensation Of the bowels
may keep one awake. or the pOsons alb
sorbed may irritate the brain and SO pre-
vent sleep EmptyinR the colon by an
enema before bedtime may induce sleep; or
better still. regulation Of the bowels to
move three times a day. or after every
meal by eating a large spoonful Of bran
at every meal and if necessary taking
little paratIin oil This will produce sleep
by removing the cause.
The most efficient Of all means Of pro-
ducng sleep is neutral bath at bedtime
The temperature Of the bath should he
% to SO degrees Fahrenheit. Never warmer
nor colder. The duration Of the bath should
be until one becomes drowsy which in oh
stinate cases may be an hour or two or
even longer. This method is practically in
