THE AFTER-DINNER NAP.
A Luxury About Which Opinions
Dine-.

There is much difference OF opinion
concerning the desirability Of an after
dinner nap. Those who advocate it
cite the example Of animals. but these
gorge themselves with food whenever
opportunity offers, and are heavy and
drowsy in consequence. A short rest
is. however different from lethargic
sleep, and often appears to do good.
Brain work should certainly 10 for

tween it and bedtime should be devoted

case OF elderly people short nap after q
late dinner often aids digestion. but rs
q general rule it is better for such
persons to make their principal meal at

elderly people are ut low eJb in tho
evening. When sleeplessness is trouble
some relief should be sought for in the
discovery and removal of the cause
whenever possible. The condition Ii
often due TO indigestion, and when
this is the case the ordinary remedies
for Inducing sleep are worse than use

the brain and the stomach are SO init
mate that disorder of the one organ is
almost certain to affect the other. En-
citement, worry, and anxiety, which
have their seat IN the brain, interfere
with the functions of tho stomach, and
in like manner anything that unduly
taxes the power of or irritates the
stomach disorders the circulation and
nutrition Of the brain. The sleepless-
ness often complained of by gouty
persons IS due TO the poisonous effect
oil the morbid material upon the nery-
Gus system. Excessive smoking, too
much alcohol. tea, and coffee, often re-
sorted TO by over-worked persons, arc
frequent causes of sleeplessness. In
all these cases the cause is removable.
while the effect may be counteracted
by appropriate treatment Nothing is
more mischievous. however, than TO
continue the habits and to have re-
course to drugs to combat the effects.
