This is a humorous comic strip about snoring and its domestic consequences. The narrative follows a man who has an "IDEA" to stop snoring, then attempts various solutions—shown working at a desk, consulting with what appears to be a doctor or specialist who says "NO MORE SNORING." The strip satirizes marital bedroom dynamics, depicting the wife's escalating frustration. Her complaints progress from "SWEET AND LOW" (a lullaby reference) to "ROCKED IN THE CRADLE OF THE DEEP" to "GO TO SLEEP MY BABY." Finally, she sings "SWEET ADELINE" while apparently hitting him, before they both leap from bed in exasperation. The caption suggests the snoring "goes in a snore and comes out a lullaby—or the nasal flute that failed," mocking both snoring remedies and marital patience.
