Nappy and normal people do not dream. But the abstalutely^ normal are is a very' Small minority.

They ]nave slept. perhaps very badly, and only for a minute or two at a time, but they have slept. Probably the record for this sort of sieeplesaner,s was that of a woman who "didn't sleep"` for two whole years. This instance was a case well known in medical 'scienre. It is not meant that the unfortunate woman literally never slept, but that she only got a fete seconds at a time. As a matter of fact, she got into such a ter- rible state that all the time, day and night, was sort of "awake sleep." A Battle in the Brain. One very common thing that starts insomnia is this; Por some quite gond reason --toothache ar trouble or some- thing—you miss your night's . sleep. Probably you did sleep a little, but You tell yourself you did not "sleep a minute." The next night you begin ;thinking how dreadful it would be if you didn't sleep that night either—how you wouldn't be able to do your work next day, and §o forth, If you remind yourself that, even though you are not actually asleep, You are getting as much good out of Just lying in bed resting, and that it Mrs. Alfred Nand, Natagan River, Que., writes; --='I do not. think there is any other medicine to equal Baby's Own Tablets for little ones.

Don't allow anything' opposed to your ideals, to the things you want to realize in your life, to obtain lodgment an your mired. If you want health, hold the health consciousness; if you want prosperity, hold the prosperity conseiottsness, the opulence consciousness; if you want success, hold the consciousness of sue - cess ; if you would be happy, hold the consciousness of happiness; if you would be efficient, hold the consciousness of efficiency, of initiative, of executive ability. In other words,. whatever ideals you wish to realize, whatever qualities you wish to establish, to dominate in your life, hold the consciousness of these things in mind, for this is the doorway to all attainment.
