The overwork habit.
Habitual overeating or taking food
at bedtime that is difficult of dige5-
tion.

The fond mother" who awakes the
baby to exhibit him to friend.
The "early-to-bed" who interferes
with the "late-to-bed's" morning nap.
You Must Remember:
That sleepiness Is an Indication
Of the need of sleep, and. so far as pos
sible, the sleeper should be allowed to
awaken naturally.
That brain workers, nervous people
and children require all the sleep they
can get-ten to twelve hours of the
twenty-four, usually.
That stimulants and narcotics will
iii time prove sleep destroyers.
That sleep that is alike restful to
mind and body can only be induced by
natural methods.

IT'S night at Old Point, and the music
IS heard
OF the band as It plays on the pier
A farewell 10 the troopers, who are walt

To embark on the ship lying near.

But. Nell. true until death I'll be-"
And over her hand he bent low his head,
As she whispered, "Pll be true TO thee"

Another night, and the falling rain
Bathes the upturned face Of the hero.
Who led his troop 'gainst the army OF
Spain.
On the heights of Santiago.
A comrade who reached him as he fell
On the crest of the hill he had Won,
Caught, as he knelt there, one word

And his mission in life was done.
Still another night-Old Point again
And though not a month has flown
Since the soldier embarked 10 fight with
Spain.
To be true to whom she had sworn.
When into the moonlight. out on the pier,
Came a couple, fresh from the dance,
And he whispered, Nell, 1 love you

While love answered love in her glance.
