The force exercised by growing

tons. No incident illustrates this

| gate one and one-half hundredweight
was pushed out of position. After
| cutting out several bricks a mass of
| mushrooms was found, three pounds

Remember, that while you sleep the
vital organs are at rest. The vitality
| is lowered and the circulation not so
! strong. A sudden spring out of bed
is a shock to these organs, especially
to the heart, as it starts to pumping
the blood suddenly. Take your time
IN getting up. Yawn and stretch.
| Wake up slowly. Give the vital or
gans chance to resume their work
gradually. Notice how baby wakes
up. 1t stretches its arms and legs.
| rubs its eyes and yawns and wakes UP
slowly. Watch kitten wake up. First
| it stretches out one leg, then another,
| rubs its face, rolls, over and stretches
| the whole body. The birds do not wake
up and fly as soon as their eyes are
open; they shake out their wings and
stretch their legs-waking up slowly
| This is the natural way to wake up.
Don't jump up suddenly. Don't be in
| such a hurry. But stretch and yawn
and yawn and stretch. Stretch the
arms and the legs, stretch the whole
I body. A good yawn and stretch is
better even than cold bath. 1t will
get you thoroughly awake, and then
| you will enjoy the bath all the more.
Wake up like the baby. like the kitten.
Stretch every muscle in your body.
Roll over and yawn and stretch, and
stretch and yawn, and you will get up
feeling wide awake and the heart and
the lungs and the stomach will resume
their work without shock or jar and
the bodily functions start off in a nor
NAL, healthful manner.

extent, says the Scientific American.
! The greed for gold is far more pre-
| dominant in the human makeup than
is the philanthropic spirit which seeks
TO elevate mankind, though its purse
may suffer in so doing. England reaps
| more benefit from the cultivation OF
