How to Secure the Best sleep.

Though much has been said on the
subject of ventilation it is surprising to
know how many women sleep with the
windows of thelI room closed or open the
very least little bit. This is ruinous to
our wage-earner's looks. At night she
can regulate her supply of air to suit
herself. and these cannot be too mitch
of it. Put on plenty of covers, and
have the bed warmed with a hot-water
bottle. but open the windows. Now and
then in waking up IN the morning one
will feel ones throat TO be thoroughly
parched and dried. This Is sure sign
that one has been sleeping with open
mouth. inhaIing through the nostrils.
Many devices have been invented and ex-
plotted to keep the mouth shut during
sleep The simplest way IS to bend the
head down slightly. closing the jaws so
that they cannot fall. When the

Handsome Men a Mistake.

An aggrieved woman has gone upon

As a brother the handsome man is Ger
tainly not an unmiXed blessing From
the first moment he opens his beautiful"

will not bring men friends home to smoke
