In the treatment of ordinary in
somnia drugs should not be en-
ployed. When the cause OF the
sleeplessness is ascertained, it is
generally possible to relieve it by
the correction of some sin against
the laws of health. Indeed, to take
hypnotic drugs when the cause OF
insomnia is easily removable is the
height of medical folly.
A very common cause of insomnia
is fatigue, associated with late eat
ing and Indigestion. a meal eaten
early in the evening. but undigest-
ed, may keep one awake, the failure
to digest the meal properly being
due either to the kind OF food eaten
or to its manner OF cooking. Fa-
tigue may OF may not enter into the
problem. Dental defects which
make effective masticatiOn difficult
have much to do with the insomnia
of indigestion.
People prone to insomnia because
OF digestive disorders should take
a light and easily digested meal in
the evening, and a warm bath and
hot drink just before retiring.
Hot drinks act in three ways:
they divert blood from the base OF
the brain, they dilute the poisons
which are present in the blood in
excess when one is unduly fatigued,
and they facilitate the elimination
of such poisons.
When we say hot drinks. alco-
holic connections must not be I'M
derstood, for alcohol is a narcotic
poison. the use of which as a
remedy" for insomnia would prove
a boomerang, for il would produce
sleeplessness after its hypnotic eff
feCts had passed off.

In the winter the flood pours down
from all sides and envelopes the
castle. But it stands firm. never

such times, shut on for weeks from

wicked and malignant to a degree.
How was II chat had dared
trust myself to sueh a man?
Presently we reached the plateau
upon which the castle stood, and
the horses drew UP. painting and
out OF breadth before a ruined
archway. A crowd of men pressed
about us-the most viIlainous-look-
ing lot OF cut-throats that you could
imagine. They all stared at ne with
aggressive eyes, but Valenski shout
ed a few words to them-in Mag
var, l presume, or in their own
dialect, for l could not understand
a word-and they drew back. To
him they showed marked and al
most servile respect. 1t was, indeed,
as IL his boast was true, and he was
regarded by these men as their
king.

My limbs were stiff and numb

He gave some orders to Paul
and led me through the gateway. The
great courtyard within. which we
had to traverse, was filled with
gypsy tents. as was the plateau
outside. From all sides, swarthy
faces, men and women glared at
me while rendering obeisance to
my companion. Then we reached a
massive door, which Paul opened
with a key he had evidently been
to fetch, and We entered.
The vast hall was absolutely
bare. Paul kindled a torch and
conducted us across the floor to a
massive door which he threw open
for us. Opening first, he applied
the torch to a large number OF
candles affixed to brackets in vari-
Gus parts OF the room, and there

When You Can't Sleep
SOME COMMON SENSE SUGGESTIONS

A potent reason for keeping up
the evening beer guzzling on the
part OF so many people is the in
ability OF such people to sleep I'M
less charged to capacity with the
amber fluid. And the same thing is
true of those who shock themselves
into sleep every night with third
rail whiskey-which means any
Whiskey.
An empty stomach will some
times produce insomnia. Sleep in
such cases may be wooed with hot
milk. Wakefulness in the midi c
OF the night from this cause may be
overcome by eating a piece of che
colste.
Constipation may prevent or dis
turb sleep. and so also will disten-
ton Of the stomach from any cause,
such as drinking serated waters
late at night.
The insomnia OF hiEh-bIood pres.
sure is apt to be accompanied with
apprehension and unwelcome ideas.
a rather prolonged hot bath Is fire.
quently effective in such circum-
stances.
Tea, coffee and tobacco are COM
mon causes OF insomnia which de-
fies relief unless the patient re-
forms his habits in these respects.
When insomnia follows brain
work in the evening and the feet
are cold upon going to bed the
sufferer should avoid mental activ-
ity after nightfall and use a hot
water bag at the feet In severe
cases a hot bath may usually be
depended upon to equalize the cir
culation.
Run down people who are drowsy
when upright and wakeful when
resumbent need to have their cir
culation toned up. The daily cold
bath is effective in such instances.

Great Slaughter of the Piave.

Italian Army Headquarters June -.
With the capture Tuesday of be-
tween 1000 and 5000 prisoners the
total captures by the Italian forces
during their counter offensive are
brought up to the ne,ghborhood of
$4,000 men.
Many pitfable sights We're witnessed
by the Ttalia"S during their advance
over the J !i-Swept battle-ground Ere
quently they would come upon their
own men who had fCcn taken prisoner
and abandoned by the ! 'StranS in
their retreat Men of these were
wounded. but virtually were stripped
Of their shoes and all their good cloth
ing.
The whole region for miles is cut up
by shellhOleS. and even the bushes had
been mown down by he gunfire.
In the higher A'nr there are evil
denceS of renewed . tivity. Italian
Alpinists surprising the enemy on the
summit of Cavello 10,50O feet high, in
the Tonale region. took sixty prisoners
and captured several machine guns
North of Monte Grappa detachments
of the fourth army after violent ar
tillery and machine gun prepapartion
made thrusts and gained advantages
despite severe enemy resistance.
Under the fire of Italian machine
guns and artillery which were brought
up rapidly. the Austrian withdrawal
across the Piave soon became n dis
orderly rout. 1t is estimated the Aus
TRAN losses total more than 100000.
IT was terrible sight as the mad
dened Austrians fled under the deluge
Of Italian bullets and shells. They
leaped into the river and grabbed
pieces of wood or anything that would
aid them; they tied themselves TO
mules and horses but their efforts
We're in vain, for as the enemy troops
reached the opposite bank they were
again caught by the fire of Italian
guns which had been trained accurate
~ on the eastern bank for some days
