How long woman should sleep
each night depends upon the kind Of
work she does and upon temperament
II she is nervous more rest and sleep
are required than for one of a phleg-
matte nature, according to a physician
who has specialized along these lines.
The number Of hours of sleep
woman or man gets is usually habit
governed by their mode OF living" she
says. "and for this reason one can
easily regulate the time to have suf-
ficient rest.
The accepted time for sleep is
eight hours, and for the average in
dividual this is enough, but if less is
needed then the extra time can be
spent IN some profitable way. while
II nine or ten hours are required they
should be taken, even il the recreation
period has to be cut short. For a
woman who does not get enough sleep
is not only never a success in busi-
ness. but is irritable in her home and
undoubtedly is encouraging mental

Each woman should find out just
how much sleep she needs every night
to feel well. and then take it regular
ly. For except definite habits of eat
ing nothing insures good health more
than certain number of hours of
sleep taken at the same time every
night. For instance, eight hours one
night and three or possibly less the
following is harmful in that the habit
of regularity is broken into, and with
nervous women this often brings on
indisposition. because after one lapse
from the usual time 1t takes several
nights before the old routine seems
natural.
Just as there is a stated time for
rising, there should be one for retiring
and it should be made as many hours
before midnight as is convenient, for
the old saying that the beauty sleep
comes before II o'clock is true in a
measure, for as the night drags on the
vitality of the body gets lower, and if
a person is UP he draws on the reserve
strength when he should be conserving
his powers with sleep. The rest he
gets after the fatal hour is not only

The amount of sleep needed de-
pends largely upon the work done dur
ing the day. If 1T is mental more
rest should be taken, for with physical
labor the body may be more wearied
but it recuperates much more quickly
than the brain. A woman who is
nervous needs from two to three hours
more each night than one who is not

An ingenious mechanism for convert

invented. The magnetic generators

IN that hard-fought battle of the dia-

When the boys of the two classes
made arrangements for the champion
ship game short time ago some one
suggested that one girl be permitted
to play on each side.
While this was largely in gallant
compliment to the fair sex-the girls
had always taken a deep interest in
school athletics-it was acknowledged
that the two girls named could play as
we'll as the majority Of the boys.
Few thought the seniors could lose
the game. Their twirler was Marion
Sallee, pitcher on the regular high
school nine, and his well known Prov
ess In the box caused confidence to
settle upon the minds of his adherents.
Moreover, they had defeated the fresh
men in an earlier game. The juniors
alone stood between them and the
championship.
But they reckoned without Miss Ger

sadly admitted their mistake. Her good
