noids, enlarged tonsils, etc. Chronic
inflammation of the nasal Innings
may cause an enlargement of the
tissues sufficient to clog nasal pas
sages. When the cause is patholog-
ical, removal of the source will
generally bring noiseless slumber.
But what to do if nothing's
wrong and you still snore?
One woman solved the problem
neatly by putting her husband to
sleep on porch. ''He makes a
good burglar ALARM" she explained.
Until l put Bob out, we were
robbed twice. But in the two years
since, not a burglar has broken in"
Cure-by-isolation is one method,
but there are a number of home
remedies which attack the prob
lem at its source. Some are ages
old and neither the results nor the
comfort can be guaranteed, but
the surprising fact is that they
have worked successfully on many
confirmed and noisy snorers.

CNoRING is one of mankind's
- oldest, commonest and most
battling Affections. Victimizing one
person in 10, it has caused divorces,
nervous breakdowns, lawsuits.
Yet amazingly there is almost no
serious discussion of the problem
in medical literature.
DR.. Abraham Stone, former
president of the American Associ-
alton of Marriage Counselors, told
me that this miserable affection"
is an important contributing cause
of marital difficulties.
This doesn't sound far-fetched
in view of tests conducted by DR..
James F. Bender, director of the
National Institute fof Human Re-
lations and an authority on sleep.
Using a sound level meter. DR..
Bender found that some male
snorers registered as high as 50
decibels, which is only Is per cent
less noise than the roar of lion.
How 70 Stop Il?
WHAT actually causes snoring -
and how can it be stopped? Any
thing that narrows or obstructs
the air passages will produce a
snore. At the rear of the mouth is
the soft palate, which tapers off
into a tail-like uvula. When these
soft tissues are pushed against the
equally soft membranes OF the
throat, vibrations are set up by the
air entering and leaving the air
passages. The same thing happens
when the base of the tongue says
against the pharynx.
In a large number of cases, the
air passages are obstructed by ade-
Evening star., 1952-10-12

Sleeping on the back causes the
flabby soft palate and uvula to fall
back against the throat men,
branes. So avoid sleeping on your
back. There are two ways:
I. Sew an empty thread spool on
the back of your pajamas. In a few
weeks, you should be able to break
yourself of the habit. (Variation:a
towel tied around the waist with a
large knot in back, or a pocket
sewn in the pajama rear, into
which a baseball is buttoned. Same
objective.)
z. Tie one hand to the bedpost
with a short string. 1t will keep
you from turning.
A Bandase Will Do Il
MANY cases are due to mouth
breathing. Stop it by the following:
I. Put a short strip of court
plaster across your mouth nightly
for several weeks. If there are no
nasal distractions, you can soon
get rid of the habit. Also your
snoring.
Z. Tie a bandage under the jaw
and over the head to keep your
mouth closed.
Clever promoters have picked
up nice piece of change by appeal
ing to the desire of loud snorers to
effect a cure. One man distributed
leaflets in which he claimed: II can
absolutely cure snoring"
1t cost the gullible one dollar to
get the answer. 1t was printed on a
white card:
