From City to Farm.
We are continually hearing about
the farm boy who goes to the city, but
we hear little about the city boy who
gees to the farm. Yet, just as many
faint boys have become successful
business men in our cities, so there
:ire undoubtedly many city boys who
have become successful farmers. This

"Doctor, Why Can't I Sleep?"
Many times patients come to MO
and say, "Doctor, why can't 1 sleep?"
Intrannia, however, seems to15e a hard
mater to combat, for the reason that
the average Canadian is continually
using his er her brain during hours
of wet*, and when night comes can
not easily drop the worries of the day,
'Numerotts drugs are treed to coax or
induce sleep, hut none of them can
take the place of natural sleep. Such*
drugs as chloral, opium, end the vari-
eites bromides ere frequently employed
as hypiattics. There is another class
a' $o -called "synthetic" drugs such
as trional, sulphonal, veronal, etc.,
that at flint weireclaimeer.ot only to
be very successful hut harmless to
sleep produCers. It has been found
that none of them drugs ado harmless,
and that only in severe cases should
their use be encouraged. '
Bathing the forehead With cold
water before retiring will sometimes
induce sleep. Another way ;is to count
until one forgets biinself. Repeating
the multiplioatf& table, or repeating fee
over and over some verse or poem,
has sueceeded in .other instances.
Often the whole trouble rests upon
the fact that the air of the sleeping
room is stale or tog warm, and the
op•ening of a window •or other place
for ventilation will cure insomnia. A
cup of hot milk, malted milk, -or weak
cocoa jliat benore retiring Will -some-
times help, while for those who are
indoors all day, a brisk vralk in the
night air may promote sleep,
After ell, the surest means of pro-
clueing a natural sleep is a tired body
and a feeling ot .satiefaction over a
day's work well done.
Oldest Things Alive.
The oldest living things in the world
are the famous big trees of California,
They are also by far the largest of liv-
ing things.
It is easy to determine their age by
Counting the rings of annual growth,
each ring representing a year. Thua
it its ascertained that some of these
trees are at least 4,000 years old.
