Cheaper Tapestry

The problem of how tapestry may be
woven by machine has at last been
solved by French inventor. Lace
brought the cost of these products within
the reach of the moderately well-to-do,
but tapestry has always been a hand
product and too costly for the average
home. The machine initiates the move

Tired and Neruous-fron1 the Lack
of Sleep? Do You Know
the Reason Why?

Sleep time Is the time when
the reconstuctive processes in
your body are busiest - turning
food into blood, and nerve tissue,
and living cells.
That's the reason why lack of
sleep makes you irritable, ineffi-
Gent and nervous; and why you
lack "punch"when you don't get
a proper amount of the right
kind Of sleep.
1t has been the experience
Of many that the cup Of tea or
coffee, taken at meal-time, robs
them Of sleep.
In Gould and Pyle's Cyclo-
pedia of Medicine and Surgery
you'll find that "caffein is a rap
idly acting stimulant to the brain
and spinal cord, quickens the
action Of the heart, and raises
blood pressure"
This makes II a very good
medicine if prescribed by a doctor
for cases Of collapse, when a pa
