KEEP LIPS CLOSED
WHILE SLEEPING
Rules That Should Be Followed If
One Is TO Retain
Beauty.

Lying on the back with the arms
thrown over the head invites disease Of
the throat. eyes. and nose.
The pressure Of the palate against the
back of the throat prevents free breath
ing and weakens respiration: the mouth
opens and collects foreign and injurious
matter floating I'm the air. Nor should
the arms be folded on the chest, which
needs freedom from weight To lie with
one hand on the cheek invites wrinkles
and slightly nuTnbs the skin.
Beware Of the frOwn Of disconnected
expression, else they may leave their
imprint during the lOng hours OF the
night. AS you find yourself yielding TO
drOwsiness sumOmn pleasant thought
that shall set the seal Of peacefulness
upon your face. Beware the dropping Of
the Jaw, even a tiny bit; around the
mouth will settle heavy curved linz, so
