Intelligent Observation of Rules

BY DIR LEONARD X. HIRsHBERG.

BY DIR LEONARD X. HIRSHBERG.
One of the greatest physical annoy
ances is the gritting and grinding Of
teeth. This symptom. while not Sc
rious or painful, in most instances is
usually manifested during sleep,
when even the most tranquil-minded
Individual is aroused to vexation.
1t is a mild kind of nightmare. with
source in some irritation of the
skin, stomach, head, ears. nose, throat,
teeth. bladder or intestines. Adenoids
and tonsils, as you would probably
suppose, are not the most frequent as
sociates OF the exasperating grinding.
Many times the victim eats his
heaviest meal late in the evening or
even, perhaps, goes to the ice-box or
pantry and takes a "cold snack" just
before retiring. This Is one of the
most unwise things a person can do.
No peaceful slumber, In perfect trim

pected when such careless procedures
are INDUCED In.
Ventilation Important.
A well-aired bedroom with the win
dows open during the night Is the pri-
mary step toward warding off any an
noyances that bid to disturb the sys-
tenn. Cool, clean bed linens are the
next things to be considered. Who can

Thorough elimination. preferably with
small doses of podophyllin repeated

one tablespoonful Of EPSON salts in
