HERE is CURE FOR INSOMNIA
English Woman Writer Tells How She
Successfully overcame the Demon
Of Sleeplessness.

A woman writer in a London
newspaper says she has found a cure
for sleeplessness. She calls it GAY
zed' because it has to do with the
letters of the alphabet. The title
may puzzle Americans that are not
aware that cay" is the sound Cock
ney gives to the first letter of the al
phabet, and that "zed" is how the
English pronounce o." Here is the
scheme:
Tonight, say, you are wakeful.
Review your friends; how many men
or women you have known or do you
know whose Christian name begins
with A? | prescribe Christian names
because they are more lovable, and
listable, than surnames. You will
find that it is like what we are told
of drowning-al your life will pass
before you in a vision till you sink
blissfully beneath the waves Of sleep
before one letter is disposed Of"

BRITISH COINAGE SYSTEM OLD
Movement Started for Change In cus.
renee That He'd Its Origin Seven
Hundred Years Ago.

Crest Britain's present system Of
oinags, which is threatened to be
changed, goes back something like
700 ysars. In the early days, the
barleycorn was a standard for meas
ure. Three barleycorns laid end to
end made an inch. The wheatcorn,
at the same time, became the meas
ure of weight. 1t was laid down
that British penny should weigh
80 wheatcorns, each taken from the
middle of the ear and thoroughly
dried.
These, of course, were silver PEN
mics. Later, when the silver pennies
we're standardized, an act was passed
decreeing that 20 silver pennies
should make an ounce, and IL
ounces one pound. Twelve twenties
equal 240, and there are stsll $40
pennies to the sovereign, while Troy
weight, which jewelers. and gold
smiths use, preserves the old hume
ration to the present day.
The reason why Troy weight is
so called is that the French town of
Troyes was in the middle ages the
site Of a great annual fair in
precious metals. Troyes had its own
system of weights, and these, or
some Of them, were introduced into
England.

I0SS.PAPER INDUSTRY LARGE
Big Demand for Material Without
Which No Chinese Funeral Cere-

The Swatow district is probably
The largest producing center of joss
paper in China. Its average annual
export amounts to half the total ex-
port from all China. In addition to
supplying the local demand, the fol-
lowing amounts were exported: y
1888 pounds, valued at $1,249,-
$50, in 1916, and 7,O23,2OO pounds,
valued at s1,071,332, in 1917. About
one-half of the export was sent to
Hongkong, Siam, Straits Settle
ments and Dutch Indies.
Southwestern Fukien supplies this
district with the paper for joss-pa-
per making. Only the lowest grade,
third quality, paper is used. Chao-an
district is the chief center Of the in

paper are cut in the desired sizes

WRITER, HUMORIST, AMERICAN

Irwin Cobb, whe Is not without
reputation as a writer and humorist,
is still more interesting as an Ameri-

the platform national preparedness.
And he puts the case so that anybody
can understand, what he means. He
says, for instance:
''It's human nature that makes the
nations, and so long as human nature
exists the land that sleeps with a
loaded pistol under its pillow, in the

GOOD ROADS FOR UNITED STATES

Senator John H. Bankhead of Ala

post offices and post roads, to which
all highways legislation in the upper
branch of congress is referred, is
believer in good roads at home. He
says:
"The war showed what the ma
tional strength could accomplish in the
swift construction of rapid-transit high
ways and the use thereon Of rapidIran-
sit vehicles. The nation trained its engi-
neer corps and sent them to Europe
equipped for the quick construction of
roads. The part which the United
States took In the decisive campaign
was rendered possible by the use of
automobiles and motortrueks over
rapid-transit highways.

HOG CHOLERA LOSSES IN
YEARS SHOY BIG DROP

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.--Losses from
hog cholera declined greatly in the
four years 1914 to 1917 and further
reduction is expected for 1918, says a
letter from the Secretary of Agricul-
ture to Addison T. Smith, member OF
the House of Representatives
The secretary calls attention to the
necessity for state cooperation in the
federal governments campaign against
this destructive animal disease.
The losses for 1914 totaled 6,304,300
animals, which, valued at 5000 a
head, made a monetary loss of $67,-
697,461! for 1917, 2,952,144 animals,
valued at $1173 head, monetary
loss Of $32, 1850 During the four

the disease was 1S,S35.9 1901, represent

100000 persons in the past four years,
has been almost at standstill. Fur
thermore, we are not sure that our
whole army is coming home much be-
for a year from now War taxes are
a source of apprehension, but these,
too, should be looked at in the light
of the fact that taxation in this country
has not assumed the all-pervading
character impaired to it in Europe
by centuries of custom and precedent.
Unless most signs fail, the possibili-
ties of future state control, interfer-
ence or regulation are not so great as
seemed certain when we were in the
full stress of war.
Lower prices may come, not all of
them at once, by the way, and may
delay, but should not radically inter
fere with the processes of proper re-
adjustment. While war imitation may
have been responsible for some of the
present high prices, the latter in the
last analysis merely spell scarcity,
which it should be our work to re-
move, and i'll removing make bust
