Insomnia is not disease. IL
simply is sleeplessness.
II has numerous causes, and
the cure for insomnia depends
on the elimination of, or adjust
ment TO such factors. Such a
simple change as moving into a
new neighborhood, with a new
set of environmental noises COR
even lack of noise), sometimes
causes sleeplessness. But IN
somnia of this type is temporary
and disappears when the victim
gets used 10 the new circum-
stances.
Ordinary insomnia is most Of
ten the result of emotional dis
turbance, such as anxiety, re-
sentiment, fear, disappointment
and VIGOROUSLY love. AL
though these disturbances may
not be recognized by the per-
son affected as the precipitatlng
factors Of sleeplessness, they
must be done away with If nor
NAL sleep is 10 be resumed.
Certain stimulants are we'll
known causes of wakefulness,
like coffee. tea, and even alcohol
for some people-but not all
people are affected by all these
things. Stimulating talk, eX-
change of ideas producing eX-
citement may lead to insomnia
also. Sleeplessness may for one
of these reasons come TO one VINO
normally sleeps well, and take
on the aspect of bad habit,
which can be broken, but which
for the time being is extremely
annoying.
Persistent, habitual insomnia,
particularly in older people, may
of course be due to some organ
ic disorder like hardening OF the
arteries or high blood pressure.
But elimination of most insom-
MIA except the last mentioned
can be undertaken by the victim
himself once he recognizes the
source of his stimulation and re-
moves il from his scene.
AVOID POTENT DRUGS
The treatment for sleepless-
ness takes several forms, any one
or all of which may prove use
full. It is important TO set the
stage for restful sleep. A glass
of warm milk before bedtime
can be soothing, and the habit
of light reading in bed helps
many. Absolute quiet, complete
darkness are necessary to some
people, and all find a comfort
able bed in well-ventilated
room of moderate temperature
beneficial.
The occasional use OF a mild
sedative such as bromide each
night for week is entirely JUS
titled, and will frequently serve
to interrupt the habit OF Sleep
lessness. More potent sedatlves
should not be employed without
direction. They may lead to

than six million chickens, one
fourth million hogs, owned close
to 100000 head of dairy cattle.

lion bushels of vegetables in All
Victory Gardens; canned over IL
million jars Of fruits, vegetables
and meats. They bought over six
million dollars worth of War

ties In fire prevention, nutritious
meal planning, first-aid and home
