IMPORTANCE OF MENTAL REST
In Right knowledge Of Subject Is Full
Measure Of life.

Not more than one person in ten
knows how to take a real rest. Most
persons, If they allow the body TO re-
lax. neglect to have their minds do so.
There is so much energy wasted, and
life is so short. and there is so much
real work to- he done!
1t is rot an easy thing 10 learn this
lesson Of mental relaxation, particu-
larly for the women subject to
nerves" but Il must be mastered if
one is TO get the full measure of lie
which is her rightful heritage.
Nor can anyone teach this art. 1t
must become habit. just as awaking
at a certain hour in the morning be-
comes a habit. After you have sought
the couch crowd out all the annoying
thoughts with pleasant ones. Luli
yourself TO sleep as You would baby.
