Talks.
DON'TS-FOUR OF THEM.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1903, by Edwin A. Nye.


Don't get out of your bed in the
morning and so Immediately to the
window and breathe deeply twenty
times" or ten times. Don't stand at
all in front Of the window just then.
Why?
Because while you have been sleeping
your blood has withdrawn itself from
the skin surfaces and your nerve forces
have concentrated themselves at inside
centers. If you expose yourself under
these conditions. unless you are very
strong and robust, you are likely to
catch your death of cold"
Don't take a cold bath the first thing
in the morning after you arise.
Why?
For like reasons-your blood is not
in the surface. 1t has not been needed
there. The bedclothes have kept the
skin warm And cold plunge at this
time, unless you are quite strong. viii
do you more harm than good. If yor
take cold bath Immediately after
brisk physical exercise, which brings
the blood to the outside, or If you take
cold bath following hot bath, which
produces the same effect, you may gel
some benefit.
Don't drink a glass of cold water
as soon as you get out of bed If you
drink anything before breakfast, take
a little sip or two of hot water.
Why?
Because the stomach is not ready t.
do business before breakfast. The
blood is withdrawn. If you douche i
with cold water at such a time. yol
chill that organ and derange its func
tons; also, if you pour a lot of ho
water into it. you wash out the gastric
juices and impede digestion.
Don't take violent exercise before
breakfast nor Immediately following.
Why?
Because your vital forces before
breakfast are low and need recuperat
ing from within. After breakfast thu
processes of digestion should not b.
interfcred with until the stomach get
chance to begin operations.
But you say
