Show AH AID TO SLEEP Use a Beg of lee Water for Pillow on Hot Nights. ' Somo ono has written the newspapers newspa-pers suggesting ulng a water bag filled or partially filled with cold water wa-ter as a pillow on hot nights. Now this Is oxcollent for thoso who can stand It. Tho writer flits a two-quart hot-water bag moro than halt full ot Ice wator and slips It between tho bnso of tho neck mid tho pillow on very hot nights. It serves to cool the whole body, nnd one sleeps blissfully throughout tho whole of a sultry night, llocauso n strong, healthy person can bear ico water or cold water for somo hours at the base of tho brain, It does not follow thnt a very dellcnto or neuralgic person could. The writer, despite excellent health, never having heard ot It properly applied, tried It, at first with some slight misgivings, months ago with good results. Probably one who could not bear the Ice wntcr about tho head could uso It applied to somo othor part ot tho body, the ankles being a good place also, without any but good and comforting com-forting results. However, tho artlclo referred to mentioned tho me ot tho water bag as A pillow, and It ono has thick hair it might not be more than comfortably cool, so used, but qulckor results arn obtained at tho base ot tho head. |
