Only by perfect rest, and that ; forgetfulnesa that cornea only through extreme concentration, can ona acquire aleep. First of all. tha body muat b nomuahlr relaxed and aa little cum bered by clothing aa possible. v Lie fiat n your back and make no effort to cloaa your ya: In fact, abiur muacn lar affort entirely. Than, arriving for utmost concentration, carry out on of tba following axerclaea!

Contlmiej staring at thla . Sctltloua word, concentrating all your , attention on It. until the eyellda fall of themaelyea and Bleep rewarda your ef forta. Tha second exercise la mora , dlffloult and requires aome practice. In .'. tha eame way aa In tha prerlous drill.

' To pass from tha purely mental to tha purely physical. Insomnia b often . . cured by taking nourishment before re tiring and during the - night . On a til table by tha bed place a spirit or alectrto lamb, a glass of milk, or ornnge or )roon Juice, . and a few crackers or fclscuits. Thla la beat for Intermittent sleepers, aa a little -warm fnllk and a cracker taken whenever ona " awakea soon dee troy tha reason for their presence, Oranges ara also good for this purpose. If the aleeplesa ona'a neighbors do not object to the odor. . Nevor take any heavy food, but' have eomethlng warm If poaalble, if it la , only a glues of hot water. . Exercise plays an Important part In the new treatment One of the finest ' 'of these, causing actual dlsslneaa, la to roll the head from side to tide, and backward and forward, until it dvopa from exhaustion. Do not, how ever, .employ this exercise Immediately after eatlns, ss It may induce nausea. Deep breathing ta of the greatest bene- ' fit. and should be practiced regularly before retiring. Stand In loose neglige at a wide open window, and take twen ty or thirty at the deepest breaths you muster, - throwing the bead far back and rising on the toes with aach on. : . '' .. -Many persons already; afflicted wftb . Insomnia have cwred themselves by sys tematic reading. "'Naturally the hook chosen should not be too absorbing or : exciting, but, neither, should It be so dull as not to bold the attention at .. all. On of tha modern light novels la admirable tor the purpose. Cnfartu - natal, - moat- paraona- attempting thla method wrap themaelvea securely la a kimono or neglige, and alt la n chair by the bedside to read, . As a result, .when they begrn to grow drowsy they : must arise, lay down tha book, turn out the light, remove the wrapper and climb into bad. all of which effectually da " atroya any tendency to alumber. Tha correct "method la to do your read ying sitting up In bed. with tha light v near enough at hand to extinguish . without getting up at all. Better still. , If you have an Invalid'a table, yon may . elmply place your book on that and ; push it away from the bedside without, even leaning over. ' Last of all, the book' should not unless you are possessed ; of one of these tables, be heavy enough to prove a eerloua weight : V Concentration Is the keynote of all ' thaa mental axerclaea. - Perhaps the ' easiest way to obtain thla is by star- .

Q axing steadily . - at either of them, or at anything of tha ' sort will Boon close the eyellda from - utter wearin v . Perhaps tha worst thing that could b don by the aufterar from insomnia la to lie la a strained position, with the eyes tightly closed, in an effort to fore the coming of Blip. Thla la all wrong. In ' tha Brat place, one should lie m a per fectly relaxed position, with the head , at leaat on a level with the feet which precludea any but a vary low pillow. The bedclothes ahould be as right aa la " consistent with warmth, " and the room-' should be well ventilated. - Far Srom ' closing tha eye, the very best thing ens oaa do Is to hold them wide open. When exhauatlon causes them to drop, they should bo forced open again,' until one Is too weary to lift them, and aleep "comes aa a reardt .,":."' Nearly every one of theaa curea is a preventive aa well, and If for any ra aon one feara that he Is going to lose sleep, nothing better could be recom mended to forestall tha expected at- tack.

By removing the nervous strain; Inci dent t insomnia, they remove a host of petty ilia, and that beauty which only , health oan bring cornea as a result ' Finally, tha victim of insomnia need . fear the effects of none of these reme-:- dies. Each is abaolutely harmless, and tha surest proof of this assertion lies In : the fact that' even those not sufferers ' from thla "fell Disorder" would benefit greatly by their us.
