Millionaire Goes To Sleep At Last

HIS FIRST FOR

TWO YEARS

LONDON FIRM SENDS:

CURE TO INDIA

TEN thousand people have sent "cures" for insomnia to Rai Bahadur Bajoria, a Calcutta millionaire who has not slept for two years.

He offers a huge reward for any. one who can make him sleep.

The millionaire, after trying hundreds of the "cures" without success, received from a London firm an electrical massage machine which has given him the first real sleep he has had since.

A Harley Sirect nerve specialist's explana-: tion is that the machine produces a rhythmic motion which produces sleep in the same way us a perambulator rocks a baby to sleep. The throb of a ship's engines or the rhythmic knocking sound of a train-often has a similar effect.

A FORM OF HYPNOTISM

There are often reputed cures. The author, Mr. De Vere Stacpoole, has just produced one and sent it to the troubled millionaire. He advises a binckened electric bulb which shows only a single spot of light. The mere watching of this spot

MAKE-UP HINTS

By

MAX FACTOR

Wherever possible use the pencil on hair rather than on skin and work against the direction in which the hair grows, If your face is broad and sturdy it is best to place the greater emphasis on the centre of the brow, toward the nose,

If you are eager and thin-faced, you can create an interesting effect by darkening the brows towards the ends. Brush those long hairs down to cover the short, stiff bristles, frequent brushings encourage quicker growth. The Ideal span between brows is at least the width of the eye. The average height of the arch over the eye should also be about this distance.
