those who are ambitious and as rule
vigorous; 1T is not an excuse for or an
encouragement of laziness. as unfortlln-
ately, there are people who are slothfui
by character, who mistake their sloth for
inability, and by indulgence in late hours
increase the natural laziness by acquired
exhaustion. 1t requires much determina-
ton to jump out Of a warm bed with the
sun put the advantages amply repay the
effort. Most people however. REQUIRE
some warm refreshment soon after ris-

for under these conditions refreshing
sleep is out of the question; sleep In suen
a case is simply a lethargy from which
the person rouses with difficulty and
