You know that means n nervous head

thing is done quickly.
Try this: Slip of Your bodice and bare
your neck. Twist your hair into a loose
knot on the top Of your head. Then take
q sponge and a basin of hot water-just as
hot as you can bear it,
Pass the hot wet sponge slowly and
steadily over the face and forehead for
eight or ten minutes, keeping the sponge
rs hot aS it can be borne. BY that time
your face viii look and feel as if it were
parboil"d. But don't worry.
Then hathc the back of the neck as YOU
have done the face, carrying the sponge
each time well up the back Of the head.
Keep this up for the same length OF
time, then, without looking at yourself in
the glass, because that would be sure to
diSquiet you, cry Your face and neck softly
and go and lie down fiat on your back.
Close your eyes and think of just this
one thing, How heavy you are on the
couch and how easily it supports you.
That is really an important part OF the
cure.
Lie there for half an hour, if you don't
fall asignp a9 You probably will. Then
get UP and take the deferred look in the

TRAINED NURSES.
Work for Which Women Are Peculiarly
Adapted and which Is Wen Paid.


Adapted and which Is Wen Paid
In this world of suffering many find their
life work beside the couches Of the sick aud
dying. Some have this work thrust upon
thcm by the stern hand of duty; others
voluntarily devote their lives TO lesscning
the human misery to be found about them,
while Il third class undertake the work for
money.
Necessity or desire for independence
sends forth each year large number OF
youn9 women to swell the ranks OF the
worlds workers. and to me none seem TO
have chosen II nobler calling or to be better
equipped for lifcs work than the army Of
trained nurses sent ont from our hospitals.
Those who have served the apprenticeship,
varying in time from eighteen months TO
three years, go forth, not necessarily hard
ened, out accustomed to sights and sounds
of suffering, trained not to give way to
their feeling, on even the most trying oc-
casions, to obey the doctors orders to the
letter, to note the slightest change in the
patients condition, to follow the best
methods for promoting the comfort of the
sick and assisting nature in her efforts to
restore health.
There is a demand for this sort Of knowl
edge aud it is profitable from a financial
standpoint. TraiLed nurses receive good
wages, the most profitable field Of work
being the large cities. Of course every
one may not succeed in this work. / am

The proportion of women whose daily lot
IL hard labor of some kind or other is not
greater now than it has been in other pc
RODS On the contrary, it is probably
smaller. But at no former time has the
wage earning woman been so distinct u So
Cal and economic factor. Woman's work
was formerly hedged in very closely hy do
nestle conditions. Her lifc WAS a part Of
the life Of some family, and as an uuat-
tachcd industrial unit she was practically
nOucyiScsnt.
Newer conditions have obviously changed
ell this, and every city has its army OF
young working women seeking an indie

army OF youug men. The army of young

tiuct social element, and one for which pc
cuiar poYision should he made. But its
recognition has been more general, and
there has been better provision made for
it than for the other army of young work
ing women.
Yet the position of the young woman ia
much the more difficult. The kinds of
work open to women are not half so nut
merous as those that young men can enter
And women's wages average little more
than half as much as their brothers. The
practical difficulties in the way of prOcur-
