ONES INABILITY TO SLEEP
Insomnia May Be Overcome by For
getting About Il and Avoiding
Unnecessary Excitement.

II you don't sleep we'll don't worry
about 1t. Your lack of sleep isn't 60
ing to kill you or drive you insane.
That is the substance Of the advice
given by a doctor writing in the Amer
ican Magazine.
1t is advice that a good many nerv.
Gus people need. observes the Kansas
City. Star. How often do you hear
some one apprehensively complaining
that he lies awake "all night" The
chances are that he only thinks he was
awake all night, and that in reality he
got several hours Of sleep between the
spells-of wakefulness. But eyen II he
was wakeful. 1t Is nothing to be
alarmed about. Especially Is 1t moth
ing to warrant taking medicine.
The way to get over insomnia is to
pay no attention to 1t, and not to talk
about 1t. Sleep is largely a matter Of
habit. 1t depends on living ration
ally and going to bed at a regular time.
You are likely to be wakeful II you
stir yourself up in the evening. If
you work at night or get deeply In
terested in anything you find 1t diff
cult to relax. That IL the chief rea.
son for wakefulness after q party. The
excitement of the crowd interferes
with sleep. The ideal way is to taper
of the days activities as evening

you will receive when you call at the

William Reid accepted the order,

to sign a receipt, and this the furmer
did for forty pounds.
"You are to receive one hundred
