Excessive Perspiration.

Whether a warm OF cold bath should
be taken daily all depends on the phys

take the tepid bath only. the duration
Of which should never exceed a quarter
of an hour. The beneficial effects OF the
tepid bath are increased by the use Of

High Collars.

In this day Of high collars. every one
is annoyed either by black line around
the throat, cause by the rubbing Of the
collar, or else with the soreness resulting
from It. The only cure is 10 rub cold
cream into the skin around the throat
and let it remain there all night. and in
the morning rub peroxide on after having
first washed of the cold cream.
This line may be entirely obliterated
by having collars Of three heights, low,
medium. and high. and wearing each
height about two days in succession. This
gives no opportunity for any one height
TO wear on the skin.

Ca11rLk3YA Le~on dAe-0a~

@ HERE was once woman so
prominent that she had few
hours for sleep or any kind Of
mental or physical relaxation,
till her health gave way under the strain
and celebrated doctors We're called IL. but
10 no avail. Finally. some one suggested
that she should make a point of learning
how to relax her muscles. This she did
and whenever she was alone she would
lie fiat on the floor and stretch her arms
and figure out straight In time she
found that her few hours Of rest at night
did more good than ever before. and.
after little while, even when she slept
but a few hours. she awoke completely
rested. This she attributed to her habit
Of absolute relaxation Where she had
formerly laid in bed curled up like a
kitten, she now threw her head back
and Strengthened out her body so that
every muscle was in a comfortable po-
sition; her whole spine got the support
of the mattress. with the result that it
was better able TO stand the strain Of
the next days fatigue.
Lying in bed in a cramped position
produces round shoulders, while II the
head Is thrown back on the pillow and
the arms are not brought up TO the
face the shoulders must of themselves
stay straight.
Allowing the bed clothes to partially
cover the face is injurious to the COM
plexion and general health. for it does
not allow fresh air TO get to the lungs.
Needless to say it IS more than harm
fuI. 1t IS dangerous. to sleep in room
where the window is not open and where
the air cannot freely circulate about the
room. All the exercise and all the correct
positions OF lying In bed or walking will
not take the place Of fresh. cool air in
the sleeping apartment.
Holding the hands back of the head is
another unrestful way TO sleep, for II is
a great strain on the heart. and il does
not allow the lungs to do their full work
No complete rest viii come 70 her who
does not drop her hands at her side and
lie perfectly fat and straight To do this
it is necessary 10 sleep on the back; and
as so often people cannot do this. the
next best thing IS 10 carry out the idea
as far as possible. when on the side-the
right side II possible, so that the heart
will have full play.
The height Of the pillow is another
very important matter. It should not
be high enough to give the head any
angle, and she who can sleep on her
back needs no pillow whatever. for its
only use is to fill in the space made by
the width Of the shoulder when on the
side. The pillow should be soft and al
ways laid fat on the bed-not braced up
against the headboard. Two pillows are
injurious, for they allow no straighten-
ing OF the spinal column and the cramped
position Of the head prevents the long
breath so essential TO healthful slumber.
A baby up TO the time its shoulders are
wide enough TO cause the head to hang
10 one side should sleep fiat on the mat
tress. and when at last a pillow is pro-
Vided il should be low and only increased
ia size as the child grows up.
II is only by following out the simplest
rules of nature and doing away with
whatever is artificial and unnecessary
that we can get the best results from
sleeping, walking, and eating.
