Early to bed and early to rise makes man
healthy and wealthy and wise"
The early to bed plan embraces a great deal
beside going to bed. 1t means full line of physi
cal culture exercises at night and bath which is
known the beauty bath. In the performance OF
the beauty bath there may not be as much as one
drop of water.
The beauty bath consists of massage the knead-
ing the of the face and the neck the driving away
of wrinkles, the checking of the insidious advance
of crows feet, and the absolute driving away of
all blemishes which have accumulated during the
day upon the countenance.
To get eight hours good sleep should be the
aim of every woman who wants to keep her beauty.
If the woman be inclined to adipose tissue she
should limit her sleeping hours to seven, for it is
rest and sleep which make her fat If, on the other
hand, she be nervous, she can increase the number
OF hours to nine, for there is something about the
beauty sleep which not only knits up the ravaed
sleeve of care but also mends the nerves and re-
stores the nerve fluid.
But in order to get this seven, or eight, or nine
hours Of good, restful sleep. the may be,
the woman who wants 10 look her best must take
the right precautions. She should be entirely COM
Portable as to her digestion. And this means that
her stomach should be well supplied with easily
digested foods. Rarebits, greasy nuts, meats and
the like do not come under this heading
The foods that easily digested fruits
toast and some kinds of cake. Cake made light
without butter is nourishing as bread. which is
often we'll baked and far too buttery to be good
for the stomach.
To go TO bed hungry is never good thing for
beautys sake. The body feeel uneasy during the
night and the face shows this uneasness You wax
en- with furrow in your forehead, and often the
victim of empty stomach will make up lying
fiat upon the face and tossing restlessly
Again. the one who wants TO sleep soundly must
not sleep without pillow. for nothing so drives the
blood to the brain In cases of great nervousness
the pillow should be extremely high and those who
work with the brain should also cultivate the habit
of sleeping with the head well elevated.
Again the girl who wants 10 waken pretty in
The morning must not go to bed without perform
ing few calisthenc feats. And, while engaging
at these. she take comfort in the thought that
her brother and all her cousins doing like
wise in a certain way.
A man after his evening meal goes out He
takes a walk makes a call, maybe goes to gym
nasium. Perhaps he goes back to his work In any
ease he has exercise. He has not fallen into the
habit of sinking into the easy chair for four or FIVE
hours before he goes to bed
woman. on the other hand. rarely goes out in
the evening and. unless she supplies herself with
some artificial exercise, her figure will suffer and
her brain will grow loggy. 1t is claimed that a
great many women doze off after dinner: and, aft
or mapping an hour two. over book ora b. il
of sewing, they roll off to bed. sinking into heavy
sleep until morning
Women who do this will certainly grow heavy
below the belt line; they viii certainly grow thick
through the hips; they apt to grow bulky in the
lower limbs; they are sure TO grow pudgy under the
chin. Fat advances rapidly under such encourage
ing circumstances this, and the woman who in
duge thus will find that her youth and her beauty
are soon left far in the background.
What can she do, this woman who has grown
out OF gymnasium practices and who is so tired
at night that she feels as if she could not stir?
Why she can do many simple thing. And one of
The hrst and the last Is that of pole climbing.
Have you ever tried to be Jack to slack and

late to begin
You must find way 10 fasten pole so that
1t will be upright. Perhaps there is friendly door

thing else. Elevate the pole between two chairs and

feet from the floor.
How they got over it the first time they never
could tell. But ii sent them 10 bed putting and full

OF course there are people who should not ex-
