SUFFICIENT SLEEP IMPERATIVE.
KATHERINE.-A woman who leads an active
life, yet gets very little Sleep cannot hope to
retain her beauty health for any length OF
time. A complete rest for from seven to eight
hours nightly must be cultivated until it be-
comes fixed habit. Have a regular hour for
rising and retiring, and do not deviate from it
unless forced to- See answer below.
GETTING THE MOST FROM SLEEP.
MRS. B. and FRANCES W.-Cultivate the
habit of sleeping in attitude which is healthy.
1t may seem absurd to suggest cutivating
habit while asleep yet it can be done and the
health greatly improved thereby. One is often
really startled by the extraordinary attitudes
assumed by small children in their sleep, and
yet the grown members of the family are doing
the same foolish things in modified degree.
The extreme weariness felt by many persons
upon getting out of bed in the morning is often
largely due to the unnatural position in which
the body reposed during the night; the muscles
have become strained and, worse than all else,
the lungs have labored all night long without
sufficient air, the result being that the blood
is poisoned by the gases and the whole system
is debilitated.
Beds which are too soft, springs which sag
and too many soft pillows all help to throw
the body in an unnatural position. Heavy quilts
and over-heated rooms cause restlessness and con-
sequent twisting of the body in uncomfortable
positions room kept at rs or so degrees at
night is much too warm for health even if one
is accustomed to this temperature. Refresh
ing sleep is impossible until the room is kept
cool and an abundance of fresh air admitted dur
ing the night.

MRS. T.-By all means take massage treat
ments, if You can afford them, They are most
beneficial, and will do a universe of good to a
complexion that is run down at the heel and
frazzled on the edges OF course, it is vitality
necessary to go to a good operator, one who
knows something about treatment of the facial
muscles and who has studied the work from
scientific standpoint. The masseuse who pounds
her patrons face with her finger tips, wipes
some cold cream into her hair and charges 81

NATURES ROUGE POT PREFERABLE. 2
