SLEEP RIGHT
One Of the FIRST REQ
Uisises for Health
ADd Beauty.

A certain vell-known society cir
Who is noted for the freshness of her
complexion and the general air of res /
fulness and well being that seems to
emanate from her was recently asked
TO tell the secret of how she managed
to keep SO well. She answered non,
chalantly:
Il just sleep-and ! sleep right"
Naturally, for words aroused some
curiosity. and discussion followed as
to just what was meant by the words
''s.>epins right" After listening for
some time to the conjsctures and
questions of the group Of girls with
whom she was conversing. the girl
whose careless words had set the ball
n conversation rolling condescsnded
to explain.
In the nrst place." she said, Il
sleep with the windows open. Moth.
ing is worse for ones health and good
looks than sleeping In . room where
the windows are closed and the air is
impure. Then l sleep on q bed thai
is hard rather than soft. Too soft a
bed Is enervating.
Then l sleep on a pillow that is
hard and small. l am careful to be
warmly covered. but l have the cover
1gs light Of weight and pliable. 1t is
better to have lighter covers and
more of them than two or three heavy
horse blankets that tire the body
merely by resting on it.
No matter how late l get home, |
always follow out regular program
before l am settled for the night |.
first of all, take a warm bath. Then
| rub down well with Turkish towels.
When l am all aglow l slip ON gown
and ba'hrobe, put my feet into warm
slippers, and then drink cup of hot
milk and eat cracker or two
'Next l massage my face for about
five minutes with cold cream | put
another five minutes into the work of
brushing my hair vigorously. Then
l am ready for bed, clean, warm, and
well fed. and with comfortable sense
OF having performed every duty that
l snould have performed.
Il know that sometimes one feels
too tired to get ready to sleep right.
One comes home tagged out, and the
one thought in the mind is to get into
bed as quickly as Is possible. This
is all wrong. have done this and
have found that after l was once un-
der the covers l was incapable of
sleeping. l was cold, nervous, and
had wretched feeling that my face
was dirty and my hair tousled. After
few of these nights l made up my
mind that. no matter how late the
hour or how tired felt, would get
ready for bed in a proper manner and
sleep right.
AS a rule, l sleep about nine hours
and l find that do not feel right un-
less l get fully this much rest. Sleep
is not only the power that keeps me
well and full of energy, it is my medi-
cine. No matter how poorly | am
feeling. good. sound sleep will usual
ly set me right"
This girl has. in reality, solved the
problem of right living. Physicians
agree that sleep does more for the
human body than any other one thing.
Therefore, II a woman would be beau
tiful. and we'll, and a pleasant person
to have about, she must sleep-and
sleep right.

Agricultural Lore
Asparagus Culture.


One of the best and easiest grown
of our garden perennials is the aspara-
gus plant. 1t can be started either
from seed or from plants. If one
wishes to raise plants to sell, it is bet
ter, of course. to plant the seed, but
if asparagus is wanted for home or
market use, in the shortest time posi-
BILE, it is better to set out yearling
seedlings.
1t is important, in laying out the as
paragus plantation, to select a place
where it can remain permanently for
if taken proper care of, the plantation
will last for twenty years. The old
idea was the asparagus bed" the
new is to plant in rows the same as
corn, etc, so that for the market
horse. The land selected should be
deep, rich, fertile, moist and cool
soil, having a warm exposure, grad
ual southern slope being preferred If
the land is originally hard and coarse,
it shodld be worked year or two in
advance by the raising of some thor
oughly titled crop, using as much
manure as possible in the process
Late, deep fall plowing is preferable.
turning under thick covering of well
rotted manure. In the spring when
the frost is out of the ground, plow
burrows from six to ten inches deep
and four feet apart. If the soil is
not of the best quality, two or three
inches of well rotted manure should
be placed in the bottom of each trench
and on this add couple of inches of
loose soil. Then, place the plants in
the trench. three feet apart. Cover
with three inches of earth, it not be-
ing well to cover deeper, as it takes
too long for the young shoots to push
their way through. AS the shoots
grow the rest of the earth can be
filled in around them by after cultIva.
tion. When filled in, the crowns of
the plants should be about six inches
below the surface of the ground, for if
planted much less the roots will push
up to the surface and interfere with
cultivation.
If asparagus seed is to be planted,
| it should not be more than one year
old, as the terminating per cent of
older seed is low. Soaking the seed
several hours in warm water enables
termination to take place sooner, as
ordinarily it takes about six weeks
for the plants to come up. The seed
is planted by the garden seed drill.
in rows about eighteen inches apart.
When the plants are up, thin out to
about four inches in the row. 1t is
| well to sow radish seed with aspara-
gus, as the radish will come up much
quicker than the asparagus and enable
one to detect the rows for wedding.
The radishes can be pulled without in
terfering with the asparagus, as they
can be matured before the asparagus
reaches any height. The seedlings are
set cut the next year.
AS the asparagus is gross feeder,
it is well to mulch in the fall with more
or less well rotted manure, although
straw and leaves will do. Before
mulching, the old stalks should be cut
and carried away, and, if, affected
with rust, should be burned, In early
spring the straw and undecayed leaves
