Everyday Wisdom
BY DON HEROLD
Utilization Of Insomnia

Insomnia takes great deal OF
time, but is worth while Too long
have we regarded insomnia az a
disease and bother. II is an op-
portunity We should not try TO
drive II away. We should welcome
II with open arms, and seize Il as It
flies
We should even make Insomnia
appointments with ourselves, and. at
such hours. take things up with
ourselves In business like way
First we can dispose Of details left
over from the previous meeting,
then we can outline plans for the
immediate future, and then we can
consider our career in life--as the
concluding feature OF the evenings
program. At no time viii ,be so
free from interruption for quiet.
calm disposal OF these important
things
Why should not incomnia boa or.
ganized and utilized like any other
portion OF our lives7 Yes, too long
have we misapplied our insomnia.
counting sheep Is a child's pastime
and rectting the multiplication table
is waste of time. Let us be cf.
tcient even In our insomnia Let US
be as poised and orderly with our
insomnia az we are. say, with our

lie mocks at death and he iests 81 toll ~
one ihAt ia never weary
ile japes a. danger and discipline
Or the muddy trench that he's s'anDhs
There's nothing sau banIsb bis merry grin
Or dNmpen his spirits chgcry
The honors OF war 10 it, heroes 70, iot
them are the pomp and glory
Bat seldom It is that the types relate
victory inside story,
And few shall know when the strife Is done
and the hisiory's made hereafter,
How much depended on hinf who stirred
The souls Of men with a cheerful woSd'
And kept them brave by lest absurd,
And frightened their days With lagghlet,
