Insomnia '
Because of the many dis
tressing problems of modern
civilized life, insomnia is a
, common com-
plaint. The
man who
I works all day
I with his brain
is likely at
I night to oe too
i "lit up" men
tally to sleep.
This Is partic-
'r j ularly true of
Alvarez the man who
works with his brain in the
evenings. The man who works
all day with his muscles can
usually drop off to sleep right
after supper because he is
tired all over.
An important point that V
was never taught in college
Is that there are two main
types of insomnia: one in
which the person's only trou
ble is to get to sleep around
10 p.m., and the other, in
which the person wakes, per
haps at 4 or S a.m., and then
cannot get to sleep again.
There are some people who
. from early infancy are good
sleepers while others are poor
sleepers. Some people keep
waking and going to sleep
again all night, while others
sleep like a log and perhaps
can hardly be waked at seven.
Many old people are forced
to get up half a dozen times
a night by an irritable blad
der. Some people lie awake
much of the night trying to
solve some life puzzle or try
ing to decide what to do about
some urgent matter. They
ought to try to learn to do
their thinking and deciding
during the day, I know this
is far from easy because many
a time I have had to struggle
to force a problem out of my
mind. But with much self-discipline
one can learn the
trick.
Muscles Contracted
Many persons cannot get to
sleep because their muscles
are tense and perhaps even
contracted. Their head is not
even resting on their pillow.
If the person could relax and
slay relaxed he might sleep.
A man of this nervous type
ought to spend quiet evenings
at home, doing nothing that
will add to his feelings of ten
sion and fatigue.
Many mothers develop In
somnia during years when
with perhaps an asthmatic
child they learned to sleep
"with one ear open." Some
married people develop in
somnia partly because they
share a bed, and when they
wake and would like to thrash
around or sit up and read a
while, they cannot do it. They
do not want to wake the
spouse. Some women cannot
sleep because of a husband's
snoring.
Other persons are kept
awake by the pain of arthritis
and others feel wide awake
because in the evening they
drank too much coffee, which
is a brain stimulant, or so
much water that their bladder
keeps waking them. A person
who is kept awake by intesti
nal gas may get relief from
this by emptying his bowel
(perhaps with an enema) just
before he goes to bed.
Many persons who wake
around five with a bad cough
ing spell might cure this early
morning insomnia by giving
up cigarettes. Insomnia that
comes suddenly in later life
can be due to a little stroke.
Severe Insomnia can be due to
a toxic goiter or, in the cases
of women, to the frequent hot
flashes of a hard menopause.
For most persons with a
severe insomnia, I recommend
the use of a barbiturate, Many
of us physicians are too much
afraid of these drugs. I am
not, because in the last SO
years I have seen only a few
undisciplined eccentrics, per
haps alcoholics, who when giv
en a dozen pills took half of
them the first night; they did
not have good sense.
Often It is a good plan to
go to bed and read for an hour
before hoping to get to sleep.
Usually an experienced insom
niac can tell a few minutes
after going to bed if he has
any chance of getting to sleep.
If he hasn't, he had better take
a pill. Quite a few married
insomniacs tell me that if the
spouse will read to them for
IS minutes, they will go to
sleep; the reading keeps their
minds off their problems.
Obviously Asleep '
People who suffer from in
somnia should know that of
ten when they think they have
been awake for an hour, the
spouse can tell them that they
spent much of the time breath
ing heavily obviously asleep.
It is a good idea not to be
panicky about losing sleep;
great fear of insomnia can
keep a persop awake. In many
cases, an Insomniac should get
out of a double bed and sleep
alone where he can toss about
when he wants to. Persons
who tend to have nightmares
should keep a food diary to
see if their bad sleeping is due
to the eating of some particu
lar food for supper. Some
time a glass of port wine or
a pint of beer will bring bleep.
A barbiturate should be pre
scribed by the person's physl-
.

150 Students Are Expected at Tourney
Ashland - One-hundred and
fifty high school speakers -
the largest group ever to at
tend a Southern Or' g o n
Speech Conference - will de
bale the Issue concerning the
adoption of a policy of free
trade by the United States,
extemporize on probleir . con
cerning the Far East, and will
present impromptu talks on
the executive branch of the
United States government.
Radio speakers will com
ment on current affairs, origi
nal orations will be p esented,
and others will read poetry
cian. Among mild sleep-makers
to be taken at 10 p.m., are
Seconal, Butisol sodium, Ada
lin or Carbrital. A more pow
erful drug needed by those
who are highly resistant to
sedative drugs is Nembutal.
Among the short-acting drugs
that can be taken at 4 or S
in the morning are Butisol
sodium and Bromural. The
commonly used phenobarbital
often has an undesirably long
action. It certainly should not
be taken after 10 p.m., if the
person Is not to have a "hang
over." The curse of many poor
sleepers is their hatred of tak
ing a pill; because of this,
they will lie awake until 1
or 2 a.m. Then if they take a
powerful or long-acting drug
they will find it hard to wake
up at 7.

Hazing Probe at
UO Continuing
Eugene (UPD A spokesman
at the University of Oregon
said Wednesday that a hazing
investigation was continuing
at the school but its results
were not available.
The spokesman said the re
sults of the . investigation,
which is being conducted by
Donald DuShane, dean of stu
dents, would not be an
nounced until after a report
was made to Dr. Arthur S.
Flemming, president.
The spokesman made the
statement in response to a re
port which said that the in
vestigation had failed to sub
stantiate any charges of
serious hazing.
Flemming's office said Sun
day any fraternity at the
university found guilty of
hazing its pledges would be
closed for one year unless
there were extenuating circumstances.

Physical Fitness of Youth Said Lower
Eugene - A second physical
fitness test by Oregon State
university and the University
of Oregon of incoming fresh
men reveals that those who
did not participate in physical
education classes in their jun
ior and senior years in high
school have significantly low
er physical fitness scores than
those who did participate.
A similar study was con
ducted by the two universities
in the fall of 1961 and the
same conclusion was reached.
"Both universities are in
agreement on the results for
both men and women stu
dents," according to Dr. H.
Harrison Clarke, research pro
fessor of physical education
at the University of Oregon.
"The results of the testing
this year demonstrated again
that students who did not
have physical education in
grades 11 and 12 and who did
not participate in interscho
lastic athletics had low aver
ages on the physical fitness
tests."
He said the amount of
physical education in high
school also contributed to the
fitness of the athletes. The
athletes with physical educa
tion throughout high school
had significantly higher physi
cal fitness averages than did
the1 athletes without physical
education in the 11th and 12th
grades.

99 Million Consumers Read a
Daily Newspaper Each Weekday
These readers make up the largest audience available to any advertiser in any
medium. A recent study of this national newspaper audience shows that it in
cludes 80 percent of all men and women over 21 . . . and 72 per cent of all teen
agers, age 15 and over. This huge and consistent readership can be depended
upon by advertisers because the daily newspaper is a habit with most people . . .
an established part of their everyday lives. For the national advertiser, this
amounts to almost the total market for a ny product. For the local advertiser, this
massive readership symbolizes the local reach of his own local newspaper - into
almost 9 out of 10 homes every day. No matter what the product or service an
advertiser wants to sell, more people can read about it in the pages of the daily
newspaper.
