Hypnotics are sleep -producing medi- eines, The tendency of our present form of civilization, especially in the groat cities, is to interfere with the normal faculty of sleep. When that harm has been done, the victims na- turaily struggle to regain the lost gift, for they soon realize how much they are handicapped without it. To take refuge in some form of hypnotic is the easiest thing to do. It seems to the sufferer that a dose or two .of "something" will reestablish the habit of sleep, and he does not foresee how fatally easy it is to form that worst habit of all—the habit of depending . on a drug for a natural function. Many people are unnecessarily trou- bled on the subject of sleep. They believe they need more than they real- ly do, and are terrified every time they miss a few hours. Others de- liberately train themselves to take an excessive amount of sleep, and ii till others forget that it is neither neces- nary nor natural' for middle-aged persons to sleep as ling as do the young. But after counting out all these classes, there are still a great many people who must work steadily through the day and who do nob get all the sleep they need; they are the persons who -are in danger of the hyp- notic habit The worst thing for them to do is to attempt self -treat - meet; here is no crisis in life when the advice of a wise physician.is more urgently called for. The condition can often be over- come by a thorough reform of the mode of 'life. Some people eat and drink too late in the evening; others need to eat and drink a little just be- fore retiring; to soma a warm bath will bring sleep; many people cannot take tea or coffee in the evening with- out hours of nervous wakefulness; sometimes -heated direussion or argu- ment has the same effect.

Effort to Restore rTraffic on Interior WaterHendee, China is reported to be considering the restoration of the old canal sys- tem, of which there were at one time 60,000 miles within the empire. Cen- turies before the Christian era the great rivers of China were diverted from their natural courses, the wa- ters of one turned into another's bed and the waterways carried along in the direction of desired traffic. The ancient Grand Canal, extends from Hangchou to Tientsin, travers- ing the provinces of Chekiang, Kiang -i so, Shangtung and Chili, the total length of the canal being about 850 miles, says the Christian Herald, China is in desperate need of trans- portation, and it has been estimated by engineers that the canal system can be restored at a less cost than that which would be involved in the building of the necessary railways. With the canals again in operation the railway building can go on at greater leisure. Mtaexd's Liniment Ite1ieVeg Neuralgia. DUKE AS AN INDIAN CHIEF.

With reference to the statement of a Canadian soldier's wife, that sire was stranded in England, a Canadian soldier writes to the London Daily Mail that she was either exaggerat- ing or it was entirely her own fault. "In nearly every case where a soldier's wife arrives in England," he says, "she gets into touch with the Canadian Pay and Record Office, Im- mediately her letter is received a let- ter is written to Ottawa requesting them to transfer her account, and in all cases where it is found that the dependents are urgently in need of funds a cablegram is sent to facilitate the ebntinuauce of payments from this end, "Only yesterday I was talking to an officer of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Families Associations, who mentioned the case of a woman who had told him she was stranded. He rang up the Canadian headquarters and was in- formed that a cablegram would be sent at once, A reply was received within three days and on the fourth day a cheque was sent to the woman."

Psychologists who have carefully studied the characteristics of instinct in woman have discovered just why mothers sing their babies to sleep. It is not merely inspired by the expect- ation of better sleep in their children, but it is the primaeval call of the fem- inine nature. It is a maternal prompt ing which occurs naturally to each i mother. Savage mothers who are never known to sing upon other Occa— sions invariably hum and croon to their children tit night, and upon' one other instance, when they are plant- ing seed. It is a peculiarity, of the Zuni native women and one which has been but recently understood. The theory of primitive people is that there is some mysterious connection between the sound of a woman's voice and growing things. The Right Breed.
