p46&&S%eI en- annually indisposed for several days
after these merry hustling times have
settled themselves into history, the answer would
be decidedly negative
The trouble with most women is that they turn
night into day. They exhaust themselves ply
scaly and mentally, wearing their nerves and
tempers to a FRAGILE. The result is just what
might be expected The pleasure gained is out
weighed by the consequent ills.
Instead of taxing their strength and faculties
to moderate degree, they are not content until
they 90 the limit The ultimate effects not
encouraging They worry fret and fume over the
attendant holiday anxietes until abused Nature
revolts and forces the offenders to obey her com
mands.
The trouble with most women is that they
overestimate their strength and vitality, and
when the time comes for them to slow up bit
and recuperate, they cannot find the time. They
go along in this manner, losing little each
day, and sooner or later the inevitable collapse
places them their backs, and dscouraging
train of beauty ills further emphasizes their
impaired health and good looks
When women realize that every attention they
bestow upon themselves which is calculated to
improve their health and beauty repays them with
"A better rate of interest than any other invest
ment of time and money, then will they come
into wisdom which reaps its own reward.
Consequently, at the beginning of the New
Year wise woman takes inventory of her
beauty ills and physical discomforts and straight
way repairs them before they have done any
serious harm.
A DAY IN BED WITH PLENTY OF REST
The average woman usually submits to the
inevitable and spends day or two in bed. This
plan of seeking quietude and relaxation is the
best beauty balm in the world
A woman may literally sleep herself into
being almost radiant beauty. Have you noticed
how an hours sleep in the afternoon puffs out
your checks and smoothes away the lines in your
face? The eyes sparkle and that weary feeling
is succeeded by one of energy and ambition
And your mirror isn't fattering you without
kqQDd cause, either.
When it is not practical for woman to spend
day in bed Though this means is val
liable than medicne), take afternoon maps or
increase your hours of rest
Business women who forced to stand dur
ing the greater part of the day, those who have
close confinement at their desks or busy house
keepers, should reimburse Nature with added
hours sleep.
WAYS OF WOoING SLEEP.
Women of highly strung, nervous tempera-
ment find it difficult to calm their active brains
should resort to wholesome ways of inducing
Natures blest restorer,"
The proper amount of rest and relaxation is
not possible where corsets or tight clothes pre-
vent free circulation. There should be plenty of
ventilation in the room that should be preferably
darkened. Assume natural position, with the
body stretched at full length, the arms at the
side and not thrown over the head
Danish every worry; think of absolutely moth
ing-but your determination to sleep. When you
take your vexations to bed you might as well stay

A cup of warm milk with dash of salt, hot
clam bouillon, or few drops of compound spirits
Of lavender in warm water have a soothing eff

NVIGORATING AND REVIVING BATHS
Women accustomed to daily bathing do not
suffer with many nervous ills to which those who
skip the plunge are likely to be prone
