Before Going to Sleep.

He who would reap the greatest benefit
from sleep should also cultivate the habit
of eschewing all worry and vexatious
ponderings for considerable time before
retiring. The attainment of this end is
far easier than might at first be imag
ined; indeed it is largely question Of
habit, and the individual who exerts
himself systematically will soon find tina,
he shall be able to divest the mind OF
thought at the proper time very much as
he would take off superfuous garment
Where, as in certain neurotic and irri
table persons, it is impossible to acquire
this habit by a mere fiat of the will, the
individual should seek by laying hold OF
the law of substitution to drive forth the
depressing and irritating train of reflec
tions. And just here we find the true
function Of amusement. Light reading
light plays, light operas, light games
light conversation and the presence Of
friends, these are the things which serve
to exercise the specter of omnipresent
care.-Dr. j. Leonard Corning.
