A French physician comes forward with the theory'that people stiffering from insomnia will sleep better and be in a much better condition the next day, if they sleep with the' head to the north and the ,feet to the south. Magnetic currents, he main- tains flow from the north to the south, and will thus pass easily and freely through the body and produce quiet and rest. If they pass across the body he believes they will cause nervousness and irritation, prevent sleep, and produce a feeling of rest- lessness and lassitude -the following day. A United Press dispatch from Par- is says that as a result of this doc- tor's statement, "Paris hotels have been beseiged with requests for the change of position of their hotel beds to run in a north -south direction, ane guests have expressed themselves as having been greatly benefited in their sleep through the new Posi- tion." 771,268.

Was it for this I have loved, and waited, and worshipped in silence? Was it for this I have followed the. flying feet and the shadow Over the wintry sea, to the desolate shores of New England?

All is clear to me now; I feel it, I see it distinctly! This is the hand of teh Lord; it it laid upon me in anger, For I have followed too much the heart's desires and devices, Worshipping Astaroth blindly, and impiety idols of Baal. This is the cross I must bear; the sin and the swift retribution." 1. Insomnia may be caused by vari- ous noises which assail our ears while we are trying to fall asleep. If the noises cannot be overcome, re- moval to a quietier location is indi- cated as the remedy. 2.

Mr. and Mrs. Fisher were calling at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. William Winer, the intention being for the two families to go together to a party. Mr. Fisher stopped his car on the opposite side of the street from the Winer resi- dence and his wife, carrying the small child, going around the back of the car, in crossing failed to see a car driven by Mr. Hess, of Zurich. The fence of the impact threw the child through the windshield and into the front seat of the car, and Mrs.Fish- er was, herself, thrown to the pave- ment, suffering two fractures to one leg and it is feared serious in- ternal iniuries. Mr. Fisher, who drove off after let- ting his wife alight front his car, was not aware of the accident until he re• turned after putting his ear under cover. 4. Some indulge in various amuse- ments which excite the imagination. This is particularly true of people with delicate nerves. Any such ex- citement tends to drive sleep away. 5. Much harder to remedy perhaps impossible, are the innumerable men- tal causes of wakefulness, such as worry, grief, anger, or other troub- les, which frequently overcome the nervous and turn occasional sleep- lessness into a chronic condition. 6. The best general remedy for sleeplessness conditions is a whole- some mode of living. 7. Other aids are cold rubbing. light exercises, or a warm or cold bath, according to the habits of each individual, 8, One may read in bed until he is so tired that his eyes close , if the book is not of an exciting nature. 9.

Every time we breathe out, we get rid of some 'carbon dioxide oneof the major waste products. While we are active, we do not get rid of the waste products as quickly as they, are produced, and it is this accumulation which causes true, fatigue. We eliminate any aecumula- work.
