Wisdom for the Sleepless

From "The Technique of Lying
 Awake" by Mrs. Winfield Scott
 Moody, in the Scribner.
 A wise physician once defined in somnia as nothing but sleeplessness Jus worry thus robbing the idea. to begin with, of the worst of its ter rcrs. For once to realize that worry
 is not only a part of this nightly trag- edy. but literally the plus part. is to shake the mischief out of it as readily as the presidigitator shakes rabbits out of his handkerchief. Perhaps, too, to carry on the figure we may concede that to do this as readily and success fully as the coniurer does demands a technical skill which, like hs must be learned. It it in the hope of offering to others some suggestions for acqulr- ing the technique of lying awake sue cessfully that I am gathering together in this paper the results of my own extended and most unenviable expert ence
 I believe that the first step is tho elimination of the mental distress tha almost always attends upon sleepless ness. This is of a peculiarly polgnan | kind and often amounts to actual de spair. rooted in a firm belief that mucl 1 loss of sleep is bound to result in
 mental and physical breakdown. Ther l is no warrant whatever for this fear | One who. I believe, has put the matte 1 to an ultimate test, is able to be quit certain that nightly average of fou hours sleep, supplemented by four hours of real rest, is sufficient no cnly for fairly comfortable living, bu | It will also leave margin for slov gain in health. It is. to be sure no affluence--one might easily wish t,
 have more; but, like narrow income l 1t can be made to cover ones needs i

Erosion Is Found Intractable

Clear across the extreme southern point of Illinois, the Cache river flows parallel with the Ohio. and only about ten miles away, until it turns and joins the larger stream just below Mound City Along it's course are some S1 1,00o acres of fertile swamp soil and overflow land, only awaiting drainage to become highly val uable. Some time ago the engineers de- cided to cut a channel between the two rivers by way of Post creek, where the fall is small and the canal would grade only foot to the mile, according to an illustrated story in Popular Mechanics Magazine A channel was planned with a thirty-fo base, a maximum depth of forty-one feet and top width of ll5 feet and erosion, when the way was opened, was. counted on to do most of the work
 Once unleashed, however, the natural force failed to recognize the boundaries set for it. The forty y-one feet depth be- came fifty-six feet, and the 115 feet width spread out to 300 feet, like min iature Culebra cut. H.A
