Overpressure often means under feeding

another kind Of rest, the best rest often for
the higher or intellectual centeIs; and an i'm
mense amount of mental labor can be safely
undertaken, II sufficient variety is secured.
But in the end the brain demands sleep, and
this is especially the case when the lower or
more animal centers have been much used,
as in children at play.
Habit has a great deal to do with insuring
good nights rest, the habit of going to bed
at a regular hour. Hard mental work up TO
the moment of retiring may cause tho loss of
a nights rest, and it is IA good plan to I'M,
