SECRETS OF
HEALTH
By DR.. C. A. L. Reed

A RE you bohered with sleep.
"A lessness? If so, you are
probably likewise bothered with
some form of digestive trouble.
/ say this because a very large
proportion, but far from all. of
sleeplessness is caused by indiges-
ton. The patient wakes regularly
every morning at given hour
lit may be three or 1t may be
six-and lies tossing for a long
time before he can get to sleep
again. Some have to Danish all
hope Of sleep for the rest of the
night.
Now, the large majority of this
class of sufferers have no idea
that there is anything wrong with
their digestion. They have no
pain and, perhaps, no discomfort
Of any kind, and II their doctor
asks them if they have any indi.
gestion they deny fatty that they
ever experience anything Of the
sort. II they observe themselves
closely, however, they are likely
to discover that they have a good
deal of gas to get rid of during
their sleepless hours. This is
sign that the digestion is not as
it should be.
There are many important rea.
sons why they should be treated
at once. In the first place. lying
awake is a bad thing for the
ordinary persons mental life.
To have opportunity to think is
good, but to be forced to run
round and round in circles of
thought when the mind and emo
tions are harassed and need
rest is bad. and the thoughts pro-
duced usually lack logical balance
and suffer from unhealthy emo
tional bias.
In the second place. insomnia
very soon creates vicious circle,
and one of the worst vicious cir
are far less afraid of bad stomach
ache than they are of sleepless-
ness. The fear of indigestion
may produce more indigestion,
but not so much more as the fear
of insomnia produces insomnia,
when the indigestion is latent and
the patient does not know why he
cannot sleep.
We are assured by Creighton.
Miller, an authority on the sub
ject, that it takes a very slight
degree OF indigestion 20 spoil the
sleep. The most important
change accompanying sleep is the
drawing off from the brain of
considerable proportion of the
blood which circulates in it by
day. This may not be actually
the cause of sleep, but sleep can.
not occur without it. Anything,
therefore, that obstructs the
descent Of the blood from the
brain will cause sleeplessness. A
heavily loaded stomach, or a
stomach distended with gas, will
press upon the aorta, or main
blood vessel, and cause such an
obstruction.
OF these two conditions, disten.
sion is the worse. A loaded stom.
ach chiefly tends to obstruct the
aorta when the owner is lying on
his back; If he lies on his side,
the obstruction is generally re-
moved. 1t is more likely to pre-.
vent him going to sleep than it
is to wake him up half way
through the night. A distended
stomach, however, ohstructs in
any position and usually allows
the patient to sleep for some
hours before the pressure reaches
It's maximum.

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland

Mixed Grill
A 7 the first kiss q woman's
"A mind races ahead to the
altar-and there 1t has to wait
for a mans consciousness to
catch up"
Actions speak louder than
words; and no man can say any
thing half so eloquent as that
heart breaking sound of the door
slammed behind his back.
Success in love consists in play
ing a waiting game and in know
ing just when to hold on-and
when to LET GO!
You can't lure man into mat
rimony any more: you have to
lease" him into it, as you do
into his evening clothes and make
it seem as little like a harness as
possible.
No man realizes how i'll he is
until he sees a clinical thermom-
eter, nor how much in love he Is
until he sees the love-light in a
rivals eye.
Why is it that canned food al
ways tastes so much better to a
man when it is dished out by a
grimy hand in camp, than when
it is served, disguised with let
tuce leaves, by his wife's dainty
hands, at home?
Never consider a man g. con.
firmed bachelor until he can sit
on the beach beside a pretty girl.
In the moonlight-and talk about
his dyspepsia.
A mans love is not quite dead
until his emotions for you have
dwindled down to three: Impati-
ence before breakfast, forgetful-
ness all day, and mild tolerance
all evening.
After 40 the tenderest spot in
a mans makeup is the tiny in
cipient bald spot on top of his
head.

KEEPING HEADLIGHTS IN ORDER
Lamps Must Be Adjusted Frequently
to Give Good Service and Stop Glare

Simple directions for keeping head
lights in proper focus are given by
the Delaware Automobile Association,
which urges upon all motorists the
necessity for cooperation in eliminat-
ing the deadly menace to night driv-
ing caused by glaring lights.
"There is,' says a statement by the
Association, "no reason why every
motor car owner or driver should not
be able to adjust his own headlamps.
There is nothing mysterious or diff
ficult about it, although the average
car driver appears to know less about
lamp focusing than he does about any
other vital part of the automobiles
mechanism"
The following directions, formulated
by "Reds" Kenton, of the Road Pa
troll, are non-technical and easily un-
derstood even by motorists who are
not mechanically inclined:
"First, stop the car on level road
way and measure the distance from
the center of the headlights to the
ground"
Second, measure twenty-five feet
from the front of the car and place
there some object. for the light to
strike. (The beams may be trained
on a garage, another car or a person.
The important thing is to have the
distance exactly twenty-five feet)".
''Thfrd, observe carefully where the
beams strike. If the highest beam is
projected at a height greater than the
distance of the headlight center from
the ground. the lights are out of TO
Gus. In other words, if the center of
the headlights is 2ls feet from the
highway, the highest main beam of
the projected light should not be more
than 21s feet high at a distance Of
twenty-five feet"
Fourth, turn the focusing screw at
the rear of the lamp until the rays
are brought down to proper level. If
turning Of the screws does not result
in proper focus, the trouble is in the
lamp brackets. Loosen the nut hold
ing the bracket and adjust lamp it
self until thep roper angle is attained.
Then make final adjustment with fo-
cuSing screw"
III many cases it will be found
that the brackets are in need Of ad-
juStment, due to vibration and run
ming over rough roads The import
ant thing to remember is that the
main beam of light Should not pro-
iect higher at twenty-five feet from
the car than the distance between the
center Of the lamp and the roadway"
at should also be remembered that
lights will not stay in focus Indefinite
ly, Frequent inspection should be
made to determine whether further
adjustments are necessary"

for depressing the street car tracks
that now traverse First street east.

This arrangement, according to
Chairman Moore of the commission,
