S. writes, "I have been much Interested in your helpful articles and would like to ask some questions. What can I do to overcome the ex ceedingly light sleeping with which I am troubled? The least little noise awakens me, so that unless In a very quiet place I get very little sleep and this loss of sleep makes life seem almost a burden at times. I am living just now in 'a small community where there are many chickens and the crowing of roosters disturbs me greatly. I cannot become accustomed to it , I have tried faith fully to overcome the tendency to sleeplessness by will power. What is the cause, of such a con ditions? If I could overcome this tendency it would make life so much happier for not only myself but for my family. I will be very grateful for any sugges tions." Reply. Those who are light sleepers are usually over tired in body and mind. This 'exhaustion, -or tired nerve cen ters. Is accumulative. It has been coming on over a period of years, what ever the cause may be be it family cares, worry, fretting, too much work and too long hours. Indigestion and constipation, too close confinement to the house, and too little time for phys ical and mental repobt. These are a few of the conditions that make for insomnia. Avoid late and heavy dinners. If you use tea or coffee discontinue them, for no light sleeper should drink beverages that use up energy but pro duce no equivalent. A warm tub bath at 98 to 100 degrees, remaining perfectly quiet in the water, and continuing the bath for 20 or 30 minutes, drying and going right to bed, often produces the most restful sleep. Sleep in a cold room, with as much light as possible excluded. If the feet are inclined to be cold use a hot water bag. - Sleep alone. As an aid to exclude external sounds I would suggest that you place a Jirm wad of cotton in each ear at bedtime and remove In the morning. This Iftay annoy you for a night or two, but you will find that slight sounds will not reach your brain so easily. Then I would suggest that you start an active campaign in your neighborhood to swat the roosters. The time has come when the chicken fanciers should develop a rooster without a iprow. Until such a product can be produced, there should be a strong public sentiment in every neigh borhood to exterminate this disturber of the silent night as well as of the egg basket. Those who have choice birds and cannot afford to swat them for all time should be required to put them in solitary confinement within sound proof walls for the night. Except for a short breeding period In the Spring a rooster is an unmiti gated nuisance,- and there is no ! adequate reason why they should be allowed to exist in all parts oi our cities and towns, promoting neighbor hood quarrels and disturbing our slumbers at night. Moreover, hens do not lay so many eggs when a rooster is distracting their attention, and what is more important to those of us who live in the cities and have to buy eggs, fertile eggs do not keep so fresh as the non-fertile eggs. Therefore for these and other reasons let us swat the roosters. Dvoreedlife JfelenfessonpFuesse. (Copyright The Adams Newspaper Service.) The Morning After. MARIAN lay awake for hours, un able to sleep, after her supper in the Pompeiian room with Bert. Crouched under the covers of her bed, she seemed to be lying at the bottom of a world-wide void. Already the few wonderful hours In which she had stood on the hilltops of hope seemed a lifetime ago. Again, life stretched ahead of her in grays and blacks. Suddenly one of Bert's sentences leaped at her. out of her chamber's gloom. "She's a divorced woman," he had told her, in explaining his inability to maryr the woman he loved. Who was she? For the first time the ques tion flew into her mind. Could it have been she whom he meant? It was possible strongly probable and the more she thought of it the more certain she became. He had given her no reason to suppose that he meant another. Everything that had preceded seemed to bear out her conclusion his manner, his words, everything. Could it be. she wondered, that he had come to her as he did for the sole purpose of hurling this harsh fact into her face? The speculation revolved around and around in her mind. Had he guessed how much she had always cared for him and taken this oppor tunity to punish her for the manner in which she had married? The belief took root and bitter resentment for what he had done took possession of her. She hated him for his cruelty and wept herself to sleep" in sheer and utter de spair. - ' When she awoke in the morning the events of the past evening came back to her. a grim procession of unwelcome visitors.' The prospect of marrying again, this time to a man she genuine ly loved, followed by the Jolt Bert had given her, left her almost sick and when she rose she was aware of a rag ing headache. "Come here, shoes, old comrades," she said as she began to dress, "you've got your work cut out for you today. We're going job hunting and we've got to find something. Unless we work we can't eat. Heavens," she moaned, "if there were only something that I knew how to do! How do women ever ac complish anything anyway?If I only had some sort of talent! if I had only learned something at school that amounted to anything!" Such is the complaint of thousands of divorced women. Marriage is a serious venture, but divorce is a thousand-fold more serious. The problem Dainty waist of embroidered Voile.

Clamoring at the doors of occupations that are open to women are multitudes, their wits and efficiency sharpened by dire need, willing to endure much for little return. Marian was not yet hardened to re buff, to adversity. Hitherto she had always done the easiest thing, when choice was imperative. Her often reiterated threat to go to work, at times of domestic conflict, had never been accompanied by serious thought on the matter. Now she had to act. Her .remaining funds were terribly low. Whither was she to turn? (To Be Continued Tomorrow.) bittle Discussions OF boveMarriaqe BY BARBARA BOYD. Seeing Life. I RAN across Jack Hinton today," I said the Newly-Made Benedict. "He didn't look quite upkto the mark. I am afraid he is getting into bad habits." "That's a shame," responded the New Bride. "He used to "be such a nice fellow." "Yes, I hate to see a fellow going to the dogs. I told him he ought to get married and settle down. But he said he was going to see life first." "He isn't seeing life," protested the New Bride. "He is seeing death. He is seeing and knowing the things that are destructive, that pull one down. I wonder why people call that seeing life?" "They certainly do confuse the is sue," replied the Newly-Made Bonedict, "when people talk that way, it always New Waists $1.35 TWELVE different models in dainty crinkled crepes and embroidered voiles.

He picked up a little volume from the table and read: " 'When an opulent papa sends his son and heir 'round the world to en large his mind, does he reflect, I won der, on the places into which the inno cent strolls under the guidance of equally inexperienced friends!'1 He turned a leaf or two, and read on: 'It was not till a fat person In a black dressing gown began to squeal de mands for horrible stuff called a bot tle of wine that I began to understand the glory of the situation. I was see ing life. "Life" is a great thing. It consists in swigging sweet champagne that was stolen from a steward of the P. and O. and exchanging bad words with pale-baced baggages who laugh demnibly without effort and without emotion." 'So they cursed and they drank and they told tales, sit ting in a circle till I felt that this was really life, and a thing to be quitted if I wished to like it.' 'There was an interlude and some more shrieks and howls, which the generous public took as Indicating immense mirth and enjoyment of life..' 'They spoke about themselves as "gay." This does not look much on paper. To appreciate the full grimace of the sar casm hear it from their lips amid their own surroundings. I winked with vigor to show that I appreciated life and was a real chippy, and that upon me, too, there were no flies.' 'There is an intoxication in company that car ries a man to excess of mirth; but when a party, of four deliberately sit down to drink and swear, the bottom tumbles out of the amusement some how, and loathing and boredom fol low." 'if this be life, give me a little honest death, without drinks an'd without foul jesting. Any way you look at it, it's a poor performance, badly played: and too near to a trag edy to be pleasant. But it seems to amuse the young man wandering about the world, and I cannot believe it is altogether good for him." " "That's the truth," agreed the New Bride, gravely. "1 wish that view of what is called seeing life would be come more general. So many people, especially young folks, seem to think it Is smart and clever and quite the thing, to do the "seeing life' stunt. If they would only, think a little deeper and get at the real meaning of such an experience, how much better they would understand what life truly la, and what joy Is In it. This method of 'seeing life' makes me think of look ing into a charnel house full of grew some and awful horrors loathsome disease, and dead men's bones, and creeping and crawling things; when all about is a ifc'autiful landscape for them to feast their eyes upon, with flowers and blue skies and brooks and birds and children's laughter.

One of those thrilling pictures of Parisian crime and clever detective work is being exhibited at the Majestic. It is entitled "Fantomas, the Mysterious Fingerprint." .tnd is a production of the Gaumont Company. That the pic ture has merit was evidenced by thv fact that the theater was crowded all the afternoon and evening. The story is a typical one of tht: Paris underworld, replete with murder, assassination, miraculous escapes and marvelous detection. In a way the story is a serial, although it is com plete in itself, or it might be more correct to say that it is to have a se quel, for the announcement is made at the end of the film that "the re markable adventures of the phantom I crook will be continued shortly." Xcw Parasols-' in Odd Shapes. In parasols odd shapes are to the fore, especially In high novelty lines, according to the Dry Goods Economist. Among the most interesting of the new shapes is one which has the widths hollowed out and the tips upcurved so as to represent the petals of a flower. A feature of this shape is its extreme lightness. The flexible down-curved tip, sug gesting the East Indian type of para sol, has been embodied in another shape of exceptional grace. Japanese ' shapes embroidered with quaint Japanese characters and de signs are a feature. The box-pleated gore is a new feat ure, as is also the gathering of the covering at the ferrule end.

If you have any cutaneous blemish, don't use paint, powder or anything else to cover it up. Too often this only emphasizes the defect. Be sides, It's much easier to remove the disfigurement with ordinary mer colized wax. Applied nightly, the wax will gradually remove freckles', pim ples, moth patches, sallowness, red or yellow blotches or any surface erup tion. The affected cuticle is absorbed, a little each day, until the clear, soft, youthful and beautiful skin beneath is brought wholly to view. Ask the drug gist for one ounce of mercolized wax and use this like you use cold cream. Remove in morning with soap and water.
