will waken in the morning of her own
accord.
Don't allow yourself to be awakened

destroys the effect of your beauty sleep
The true beauty sleeper never goes tc

who wants fine complexion will eat
a dish of prunes before going to bed
They will be of the ordinary blue variety

the tired-out woman will take some form

"The beauty sleep is the sleep Il wo-
man gets after she has slept seven hours
and before she has slept nine hours,
said an old Viennese specialist. "A wom-
an needs seven hours sleep for the
building up of her SYSTEM, said he.
Then she needs two hours more for the
regeneration of her body. The extra two
hours will restore her complexion. make
her eyes bright, take the wrinkles out
of her face and make her form elastic.
This is supposing." said he. that she
is woman who lives an active life,
does not eat too much and who keeps
her disposition cheerful. Such woman
can stand nearly nine hours sleep out
of the "a, particularly If She be Il
modern society woman"
If possible, get into the habit of wax
ing at a certain time and wake up of
your own accord. If you have slept the
right kind of sleep, you will feel rested
and will want to get up. 1t would be
impossible to lie in bed longer. Every
nerve and every muscle will long for
exercise You win feel that it is time
to be on your feet.

long public life he always remembered
IA yarn that he carried from his school
days.
One year when the district schools
opened in his town one of the teachers.
in making record of the ages Of her
pupils. as required by law, found that
one little girl, who came from a family
not noted for being especially bright. was
unable TO say when her birthday came.
So, in order to complete her records,
the teacher walked two miles to see the
girls mother one afternoon after school
Asked if she could remember just when
fcr daughter was born the woman
thought for some little time and then
with sort Of puzzled look, said:
