the other hand, she he very nervous, She
can increase the number of hours to nine.

Again, the one who wants to slcep
soundly must not sleep without pillow
for nothing so drives the blood to the
brain. In eases 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 very well elevated.
The eight hours comfortable sleep will
be followed by n vigorous awakening for
the healthy. If one be in poor physical
state one can take few light gymnas-
tics, for, when all things are considered,
it is exercise that does tue body good; not

realize that she is an independent crea-

alone.
As soon as the girl who gets her
beauty sleep early and who gets up at
the end of eight hours of repose fully

not an automotan she will begin to
improve in health and in looks.
