EXERCISE AND SLEEP.
CeunsaI for Women Touns and old Regarding Subject of Vital
 Importance.

Importance. 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 1t is the rest and sleep which makes her fat. It, on the other hand, she be very nervous. she can increase the number of hours to nine, for there is something about the beauty sleep which not only knits up the rayeled sleeve of care, but also msRds the nerves and restores the nerve fluid.
 To go to bed hungry is never good thing for bsauey's sake, states the Brooklyn Eagle. The body feels un- easy during the night and the face shows this unsasiness. One wakens with furFow in ones forehead. and often the victim of an empty stomach will wake up lying fiat upon the face i and tossing rsstiessly.
 | Again, the one who wants to sleep soundly must not sleep without 3 pill low, for nothing 50 drives the blood to the brain, h cases Of great nervous ness 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 ele- va1ed,
 l The eight hours comfortable sleep 1 will be followed by vigorous awaken { ing for the healthy. IT one be iu poor :, physical state one can take a few light ] gymnastics, for. when all things are considered, it is exercise that does the body good, not idlenesg. Of course there are people who should not exercise at all, and unfortunately these are the very ones who are most apt to take up gymnasium work.
 Elderly people who feel the need of outdoor exercise. yet who cannot, for some reason. take 1t, can have 1t sup- piled to them through light massage This will keep the muscles from getting soft and will invigorate the flesh. A great many elderly people receive strength through the finger tips and i many claim that certain magnetic stimulation is imparted in this man ! ner.
 In any case the elderly woman who l feels all tired out and whose strength is I slipping from her, would do well to try massage at the hands of some healthy young woman who thoroughly under stands her business. Many a naasseuss works not wisely. but with entirely too much vigor, leaving her patient all , worn out.
 The girl who gets up early can have a routine of her own, and in arranging g 1t she can be guided not by the peculiari- ! ties of anyone else but by her own ec- centricities pure and simple. She must realize that she is an independent crea~ ] ture, not like other girls at all. but just like herself, and that she is g law--not unto the woman next door--unto herself alone.
 ] AS soon as the girl who gets her beau ty sleep early and who gets up at the end of eight hours of repose fully re- alizes that she is a human being and not an automaton she will begin to improve in health and in looks. l For one thing she will not take the cold plunge unless 1t agrees with her. Perhaps she is of a build which cannot take hot bath in the morning, or any bath at all. It may be that her pecnl- ldElJlSS OI ucdEt luuSS dHu fIN6lAty dlS such that she must eat as soon as she rises, and rest half an hour after eat ing. There are people who must dc this.
 But she need not think, if she is one of the persons who wakes up weak and faint, that she need always be thus She should try to take plenty of exer- else in the open air; and that heart o1 yours will grow stronger. Here are a few suggestions for the seeker after health and beauty:
 Don't sleep in a close room: don't try to spend all your hours in the house; don't think that dusty air full of mi erobes is as good for your lungs as pure air, and don't be afraid to get out and get the sunshine. Form a little sun. shine society of your own, and be it's charter member, if there is never an. other one in your society.
 Don't bs afraid of oyerdoing the ex. ercise business And remenb Der that tho strongest women in the world are thos< who belong to the tribes and races whoef lives are spent breathing the outdoor air of the fields and the sweet perfume of the gardens
