Overcoming Insomnia.

The treatment Of insomnia or sleep
lessness is a simple matter. Psyche
! analysis or physical examination dis
closes the real source of the disorder
Insomnia has Its foundation in los
Of general health. worries, bad habits,
need Of ventilation and sunlight. Re
tire early at night even If you cannot
sleep. This restores the normal habit.
Take glassful of hot milk, few
crackers and hot bath before you re-
tire. A cold pack to the head and a
hot water bottle to the feet help to
WOO slumber. A triple effervescent
bromide tabloid or two in a glassfuI
of water before bedtime will usually
soothe the sufferer back into the lanO
of Nod and a good eight hours OF
sleep.

Diamond Thieves Easily Detected.

Diamond stealing In the South AZ
frican mines is becoming preearlous
business. The blacks still swallow
them or hide them in selF-Inhicted
wounds, but these methods no longer
suffice. Coolidge Xray tubes are so
mounted in a frame as to illuminate
the whole body Of the stripped native
standing before them. The entire body
of the hundreds Of miners can thus be
brought into view In the horoscope In
a few seconds, and any diamond pres
ent, even If behind thick bones, is
quickly detected. The glow of the dia-
mond under the X-rays, as we'll as its
dense Opaqueness, aids in detection,

the power of her lungs and the vigor

upon apprising the whole common

she was vastly displeased with the
person she was addressing, who was
certainly not Flynn. Amid sounds of
scuftle and the continuous outpouring
OF billingsgate the light over the
garage door flashed on suddenly and
disclosed Flynn in the act of precipi-
tating himself into the fray. Elsie had
