Mew Ramad tor Insomnia.
An expert In nervous disorders In
Paris recommended to an Amcrlonn gen
tleman a cure for Insomnia which was
tried with such success that the patient
baa preacrihed It to many of his friends.
It is simply to keep your eyes open when
yon want to go to sleep and cannot A
person Whose hrnln is too active will
sometimes closo the eyes and vainly
endeavor to sleep. The very closing
of the eyes seems to concentrate tho
menal faculties on business affairs and
other distractions. Tho theory of tho
French physician Is that if thnvintimof
insomnia will As his eyes upon soma
gleam of light, aomo shadow, or even
ou thn dnrkucas Itself, he ran relieve his
mind from thoughts that perplex it and
divort attention from himself. Try the
experiment when you are sleepless and
seo how nnaonsclously your eyes will
close and your thoughts begin to tnko
possession of you. Struggle to keep
them oMn nnd fixed upon an object,
either real or imaginary, and before yon
are aware of it thn struggle will have
ended and sleep will Is) victorious.

Many people believe that all paint
are alike that they are nothing but oil
and color mixed. That's the case with
common, inferior paints.
Are also used to blend good paints. So
is conscience. Paint made without a
blending of skill and honesty is no good.
We keep only the Best. It would not
pay us to handle poor paint at any price.
We have all sorts of the good sort, ready
mixed and fit for use.
