1t was Monday, the day which al
ways follows Sunday, the day on which
business and housework and worry
and rushing and school aud regular
hours all begin again after a day which
was given the world for rest.
Almost directly after breakfast Mrs.
S. had gone up to her bedroom and.
sinking down In a chair had said.
why. l cannot understand It. / did
absolutely nothing yesterday - you
know how laid around all day-yet
this morning l am tired to death"
The Daily Programme.
The lecturer replied "But really, you
know. a part OF you did work very
hard. This Is what you did: Usually
you arise promptly at an early hour. so
as to have breakfast for your son at
half after Z. You are busy about the
house and apt to go out in the fresh air
for some time during the morning,
You lunch at / O'Clock. In the after
noon you may lie down, but not for
hours, and you 60 out or move around
and have many things to occupy you.
Then you dine at half after G. Each
day has its regular duties. and you
are a busy woman, with your club
work, your philanthropies, friends and
pleasures, and you accomplish much.
The sunday scheme.
'Now, what did you do yesterday 2
You arose late. had breakfast at 8
o'clock, and because of the late hour
you were hungry, so you ate heartily.

the cook had been working all the
morning to provide an unusually elab-

an unusual amount. The afternoon
was spent on the couch-no exercise,
no fresh air. But when Z O'Clock came,
although you were not hungry you
fancied you might be later, so you ate
a light lunch Of bread and milk. You
went early to bed, and Of course you
feel bad today.
How blue Monday Comes In.
'You fancy because you did not use
your arms and legs that you did no
work. But what of your head and your
overworked digestive tract? Eyes and
brain were occupied all day, and your
digestive apparatus. without the usual
aid of exercise and fresh air, was more
than usually overburdened. You crowd
ed two hearty meals fairly close to-
gether; there were scarcely more than
three hours between them, and then
fortunately FIVE hours elapsed before
the next one. Bread and milk contains
considerable nourishment. Milk is not
easy OF digestion for you, and you ate
a good sized bowlful. You may call
that a lazy, but l call It a hard worked
Sunday, and there is good reason for
your feeling so tired. Your whole sys-
TEN is feeling the effects Of trying to
asslmilate and dispose Of more food
and waste matter than it demanded or
wanted"
