THE HUMBLE ECHO
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1963
this day to convince my
husband that I was not try-
ing to choke him with his
own tie.
Another sure-fire reme-
dy that doesn’t work is to
trickle ice water into his
open mouth so that he will
become discouraged in his
subconscious mind, turn
over and stop snoring. The
only one who benefited from
this venture was the drug-
gist who filled the $10 pre-
scription we had to buy for
the flu that my husband
contacted from too much
ice water in the winter.
I have tried waking him
up to mention to him that
he is snoring and disturb-
ing the neighbors. He is
always very surprised,
quite congenial and agree-
able, while he rolls right
over and begins again, in
another key.
Finally I have given up.
But, as I lay night after
night, listening totheseun-
earthy sounds, I am com-
forted by something I read
recently. It seems histori-
ans have decided that pre-
historic man, in order to
keep wild animals out of
his cave and protect his
family and loved ones, lay
down at the opening and all
night emitted long, loud,
horrible noises. This prac-
tice has carried over into
modern-day-man in the
form of snoring. So now,
as I lay listening through
the long night, I know that
my husband truly loves his
family and is only protect-
ing us and trying to keep
wild tigers, lions and dino-
saurs out of the bedroom!

Psychiatrists tell us that
all women should have
some sort of hobby. I think
you will agree that my hob-
by is one of the most ori-
ginal and unusual you have
ever heard—I collect
remedies for snoring. My
husband holds the world’s
record for consistent, un-
relenting, unnerving snor-
ing I do not mean the whis-
tling, wheezing, grunting
sort of “milktoast” kind; I
mean the roaring, ranting,
bed-shaking, window-rat-
tlin variety. To look at
him in the morning-light
you would never believe
this kind, generous, hand-
some-type husband has this
dark, hidden vice.
I am trying to be brave
and live with this afflic-
tion; therefore I collect
suggestions and remedies
to counteract these snores.
I must, in all fairness,
tell you that none of them
have worked, but perhaps
some of you have a like
condition in your homes and
these may prove helpful
to you.
One cure that almost
worked was when I strapped
a bicycle horn to husband’s
back...whenever he rolled
over on his back and began
to snore, the horn was sup-
posed to blow, waking him
up and causing him to roll
back on his side. Ha! The
only fellow it woke up was
me jumping three feet in the
air everytime the horn
blew. We gave this up after
a few nights.
Next I heard of a woman
in Florida, who, after her
husband was sound asleep,
tied a man’s tie under his
chin and up over the top
of his head. This was to
keep his mouth closed,
thereby omitting snores.
I have never been able to
