THE INTERMoUNTAN CATHOLIC: o. 1904

call to her aid the best of all things-sweet sleep.
If the worker, who has grown too weary to eat her
dinner, will drop off into ifteen-minute sleep
fefore. the dinner bell rings she viii waken won
uerfuly refreshed There is nothing quite as rest
tul as a ffteen-minute sleep. ~
A certain actress, who is one of the hardest
worked women III the world, makes it point to
lest for fifteen minutes every afternoon at dusk.
She falls asleep, after taking just half glass of
warm milk She sleeps only fifteen minutes, for
she does not want to spoil her nights sleep. This
leaves her refreshed for evening and she comes
out from her sleep with bright eyes and rested
head. -.
a great many women are opposed to the use
Of any beverage stronger than coffee and milk
But those who do not object 10 them can take
little light wine and always with warmed feeling
the stomach
There is no doubt that chocolate or warm milk
will do the work quite as well as hot wine But
there is something about little wine, warmed and
slightly spiced, which finds its way to the stom-
aeh OF the working woman with telling effect. 1t
Is all a matter of opinion. But the spiced wine
IS recommended by MANY physicians. Three table
spoontuls Is about the right quantity to take
The tired woman can freShen by loosening her
clothing and washing her face and hands. 1t Is
wonderful the amount of breathing you do though
the pores Of your face and hands. You have no
idea how it will rest you to hold hot water on your
lace. A little boracic acid used as a gargle will
also help the tired throat and little can be used
to brighten the eyes. 1t Is excellent as a spray.
In making boracic acid for use in the eyes it
IS always good thing to consult the druggist and
TO tell him just how you going to use the
powder This will keep you from all mistake and
VIII, at the same time, insure pharmaceutical
rectness.
The great mistake which the tired woman
makes IS that of coming home and throwing her
self down TO rest without changing her clothing.
1t Is absolutely essential that shoes and tie strings
should be relieved Of their pressure and that the
collar be unlocked. Now, if, III addition to this,
the air of the room be fresh and warm and few
Eight gymnastics taken, the tired woman will feel
a thousand times refreshed.
The matter OF diet is one for every woman who
works hard to consider. 1t is fact that all brain
workers have indigestion and the great majority
CT them cannot take a hearty meal Meat Is
specially difficult for them to digest and there
are many to whom certain vegetables, such as
beans, onions and cabbage, are so much poison.
They disagree with the stomach scandalize the
breath and upset the patient for a day or two.
Onions, If they agree with the stomach, will not
give that disagreeable after reminder But per-
sons who eat them without announcing the
fact to a critical world are few indeed. But, where
they do agree with the stomach, they make cheap
and nutritious food.
The tired woman is usually tired in her head
If it does not ache, it certainly feels like aching
and the working woman presses her hands against
1t and wonders if it will ever icel right again.
The reasons for tired headache arc too many
Tor investigation. Just what causes it no one
knows or pretends to know, There is no one gem
eral and infable reason why head should ache.
Yet ache it does when gels tired.
The English remedy of cup of good tea, boil
ing hot and not too strong is enc that can be re-
lied upon in many eases of dull ache, But the best
remedy of all is the taking out of the hairpins
and the rearranging of the hair. If the hair has
been worn high during the das, just let it down
when you get home at night. While, if it has
been worn low, it is good plan to raise it. The
hairpns find new spots and the head is wonderfully
rested
The gospel of beauty is that the tired
should not forget It is strange, though true
that good clothes do wonderfully help tired head
and a pretty evening waist will brace a woman up
to a set of tagged out nerves
The tired out woman should be careful not to
take drings that too hot into her stomach. The
practice of drinking a cup of hot water is one that
came into vogue a dozen years ago and carried
off many victim before it was checked. Hot
ter scalds the throat and the stomach The mouth
may become accustomed to it. but the delicate lin
ing of the stomach is hopelessly ruined thereby.
Let the water be hot but not scalding if you
would avoid Indigestion.
The working woman should keep cool in sum
mer and warm in winter. And just how to do this
is only one of the many lessons which she must
learn.
