CURE INSOMNIA BY ALPHABET
Ay-Zed Is Name Given Discovery by
English Woman Who Has Proved
Its Effectiveness.

London.-A woman writer in a Lon
don paper says she has found a cure
for sleeplessness. She calls it "Ay-
ged" because it has to do with the let
tiers of the alphabet.
The title may puzzle Americans that
are not ware that cay" is the sound
a cockney gives to the first letter of
the alphabet and that "zed" is how the
English pronounce a." Here is the
scheme:
Tonight, say, you are wakeful. Re-
view your friends; how many men or
women you have known or do you
know, whose Christian name begins
with .AY 1 prescribe Christian
names because they are more lovable
and listable than You will
find that it is like what we are told
of drowning-all your life will pass
before you in a vision-till you sink
blissfully beneath the waves of sleep
before one letter is disposed Of"

TO H

written by Private John Yates, 311th inf.
Supply Co., with the A. E. F. in France.)
If you are ~disheartened and don't
know what to do,
Look unto the Lord-He will comfort
you;
Tell Him all your troubles, and kneel
in silent prayer,
And you will be surprised what bless
ings will reach you from the One
SO bright and fair.
But when you start the battle, pray
with all your might,
Not only in the daytime, but also in
the night;
Never yield to temptation, but keep a
good, clear mind,
And no better Christian will you ever
find.
Now, dear ones who are out in this
cruel, cruel world,
Where at all times Satan's darts are
hurled,
Why not turn to Jesus, the One who
died for all,
And at all times will answer, every
time you call.
well, you can cnange your life from
darkness into light,
If you will only look to Jesus and pray
with all your might;
So please bear all these words in
mind,
No better Comforter in all creation
will you ever find.
So, dear wanderer, if you think you're
utterly lost,
Just kneel down and pray whatever
be the cost;
The dear Lord will quickly answer and
lift you on your feet,
And then you can have a Christian
smile for everyone you meet.
But take it on the other hand, if you
live for the pleasure of the world,
Then you do not realize when Satan's
darts are hurled;
You do not realize the danger; in 9TH
er words you do not care,
Just so you have worldly pleasure, and
at last you die in despair.
Now Satan is a sharp one, and don't
like to see anyone do right,
And if there is any chance at all, he
will nag them both day and night,
He also makes you unhappy, and you
don't know what to do,
And then you always wonder what
makes you feel so blue.
So, %wanderer, please bear all these
words in mind,
Turn away from all bad habits, and
look to the One who is so true
and kind;
Don't be afraid, He will always stick
to you,
And will always be near you every
thing you do.
Now, sinner, you may think funny. but
every word is true,
If you don't believe me, try it, He will
comfort you;
He will stick closer than a brother,
and be where'er you go,
And your heart will be contented and
your light will surely show.
You will always be happy and never
have any fear,
Don't you think it worth while to serve
One so dear;
You will always be c%ontented, and
have a clean heart, mind and soul,
And as long as you look unto Him you
will surely reach the goal.

utensils, the fire destroyed an auto
truck and an automobile.
The loss will run into several thous-
ands of dollars, partly covered by in
surance.
How the fire started is not known.

We dare say you yourself had scarce
ly thought of the many, the very many
ways in which overdue ~outstandings
affect the welfare of your business.
And no doubt the man who owes
1ou the money did not stop to think
of it-otherwise he would pay more
promptly, and if his delinquency is due
to his own overdue outstandings on
the part of his customers, he will be
more strict with his own collections.
So you see, you are really rendering
him a service by holding him to what
our President calls "strict accounta-
bility"-to say nothing of the duty you
owe your w business.
Most men are fair. If you present
the matter to him in that light, a new
light" will indeed dawn upon him.
He will pay more promptly, and you
will be able to pay your bills more
promptly, taking advantage of every
discount, saving every dollar you have
heretofore had to pay for interest.

New York.-Study of cancer during
the war was impeded, not only by TAX
ing physicians from research work
but because of the shortage Of mice,
which were used In large quantities
with the allied armies for the detec-
ton Of gas and the diagnoses of GER
tain types of disease, according to the
report Of DR.. Francis Carter Wood,
director of the George Croker special
research fund of Columbia university.
Thousands of mice which had been
raised for research work were turned
over to the government. The mice
breathe very rapidly and are far more
sensitive to gases than human beings,
so that they were kept In exposed sec
tors and observed closely, because
their behavior would indicate the COM
ing of gas long before it could be de-
tected by human beings. 1t was also
announced that mice had been sent
out on board every submarine, for the
same purpose.
Mice React to Gas.
One of the most common troubles on
submarines has been from chlorine,
due to wet batteries. The mice react
to the gas long before 1t is dangerous,
or even perceptible, to the crew. thus
enabling them to find the difficulty
and repair it before the air becomes
so tainted as to be dangerous. In the
British army hundreds of canaries
were used, as well as mice, for the de-
lection of gas. In addition to supply
ing thousands of mice to the govern
ment, the George Croker special re-
search fund raised enough. however,
to supply many medical schools and
research laboratories throughout the
country.
The other use of mice in the war
was in discriminating between the va
rious types of pneumonia prevalent at
