The points of contact with the bed are

that degree, if necessary. Begin at
your toes to relax, loosen all your
joints and muscles, unbend your fin
gers, shake your wrists loose. take the

when Mather came home to his little
room on the second floor he found 1t a
veritable oven. Sleep in that place was

much banter between the occupants Of
