When it comes to such & state, it seems to me, enough is wrong so a doctor should be consult- ed. After all, health and looks, to say nothing of efficiency during the day, depend on sleep vou have had the night before, and there are many means of inducing sleep. Some people need nothing but a of hot milk and a cracker or two. This brings the blood from the head to the stomach, or rather from the brain to the stomach and that in- duces sleep.

You will prob- ably find it better than anything else to make you sleeps. Counting sheep or forcing your thoughts into light and pleasant channels is all very well. The person who sleeps like a top the minute he finds his pillow will hold forth eloquently on how to sleep when you feel restless, but his theories won't necessarily work for you. One thing that will, that must work, that must force your thoughts into pleasant ways is reading a pleas- ant book or a pleasantly prosy one.

Pick the meat from the hones of left-over cooked chicken. Stew the bones in enough water to make a quart of broth, adding any left-over gravy or sauce that will furnish chicken flavor. In a large pan cook slowly in two tablespoonfuls of but- ter an_onion which has been minced fine. * Do not let the onlon brown. To this add the quart of chicken broth. When it boils up rapidly sprinkle in slowly three-fourths of a cupful of rice which has been washed free of surface starch. Cover the pan. Allow the rice to simmer in the broth,. and the grains will be until the grains swell and become soft. Shake the pan from time to time to keep the rice from sticking, but do not stir it unless absolutely neces- sary. By the time the rice is done it will have absorbed practically all the broth, and the garins wiil be large and separate. Then add the small pieces of chicken which were picked from the bones, turn the mix- ture onto a hot platter and sprinkle it generously with grated cheese.

Having no competition in the fm- mediate vicinity, business flourished for Mr. Rosenblutt. The clerks and clerkesses of the financial quarter | thronged about him buying the suc- culent hot' dog.

He had seen a white Robin. He knew that every once in a whil a bird or animal was all white. But to find three white Bluebirds in one nest was an unheard-of experience. But there they were! Certainly it a queer family, armer Brown's Boy climbed down and took the stepladder away. Win- some and Mrs. Winsome had been hovering about anxiously.

AS a _matter of fact, Winsome and Mrs. Winsome did think that these babies were queer. They didn’t know what to make of them at all. At first Winsome had insisted that these queer white children were not their children at all. “Somebody changed eggs with you,” he insisted to Mrs. Winsome. “No such thing,” declared Mrs. Win- some. “Nobody could fool me about my own eggs. These are our bables, all right, even if they are queer. And just because they are queer, we'll have to take all the better care of them.” ‘Winsome Bluebird still looked doubt- ful, but he went on about his duty of finding food for those hungry little mouths, “It's a queer family,” he kept saying over and over again to himself, “it's a queer family.

Then inspiration came to his harassed brain, “Lubin,” he said, with a warm and friendly smile, “as an accommodation to you I'd like to do it. what you ask. But, Lubin, no, positifiy no.
