"Sleep Starvation"

"Sleep Starvation Tries Looks!" cried the fashion column of London's Daily Telegraph last week, bravely offering health & beauty advice to a host of war-worried feminine readers. "Even the women who are accustomed to fall asleep as soon as their heads touch the pillows may be suffering from a minor form of insomnia, and the real victims of insomnia may be having a worse time than usual." To save British complexions from wrinkles etched by air-raid fears, the Telegraph offered with a straight face the following pseudo-scientific "receipts for easy sleep."

> "Make sure that the last meal of the day is light and easily digestible . . . avoid fresh fish and all fried foods . . . stewed tripe and boiled onions is a particularly good dish for those who like it. The boiled onions have a soporific effect."

> "When getting ready for bed, take off your makeup, massage your face and throat . . . massage your scalp. This has the effect of soothing nerves and relaxing muscle tension."
