Health and Beuty Rules.

Sleep is the magic brush which, in
the master hand of nature, spreads the
elusive eolors of beauty on the human
canvas Those who see the picture call
it pretty face, and while there are
many limitations, none can equal this
masterpiece inspired by repose, health,
hygiene and right living.
The accepted duration of, the sleep
period as fixed by students of the hui
man body is eight hours. Unusual eX-
ertion should be followed by at least
two hours more. Less than this amount
means drain upon the strength of the
mind and body.
Sleep is the generator of energy. 1t
is the coaling station of time, where we
store enough fuel to take us through
the hours to come. When the supply
of fuel runs low we are compelled to
trundle along at half speed. Our limbs
feel as if they were chained to prevent
free action, our mind is sluggish, slow
to grasp a situation and slower to re-
spond. Lethargy is the foe of beauty of
the radiant type.
As for the actual colors themselves
no one can turn night into day with
out paying the price in pale cheeks,
dull eyes and sagging muscles. Heavy
headaches. shattered nerves and faulty
digestion are the forerunners of a sal
low complexion and a dark brown saw
toothed" disposition. The men or wom-
en- who stay up until the birds begin
to sing their morning paeans to the sun,
who consider anything before midnight
early, who consume endless cups OF black
coffee and refer to themselves as might
owls" are paving the way to failure and
nervous prostration. Hysteria. vertigo,
and acute Indigestion do not make for
beauty.
The real beauty sleep comes before
midnight and ends when the day is
young. This is as nature intended. If
work prevents following the natural
hours for rest things should be so ar
ranged that sleep will be undisturbed
by the noise and activity of the day.
If eight hours sleep are impossible,
make up for the lost rest by sleeping
ten hours the next night. Insomnia is
often the result of irregularity of sleep
ing hours.
Do not neglect to have plenty of fresh
air in the room devoted to rest and
sleep. Oxygen is meat and drink to the
worn down tissues of the body, and

SHORT, SNAPPY
PLATFORM
To Be Drawn Up For Democrats
at Baltimore
FOR THE PARTY'S ADOPTION
Democratic Document Will Neither
"Point with Pride" Nor "view with
Alarm"-Roosevelt Men Confer
With Bryan.
FOR THE PARTY'S ADOPTION

Baltimore, June 26.-That the Demo
cratic platform to be adopted will be in
direct contrast to that of the convention
/ that renominated President Taft was the
concensus of opinion among the leaders
yesterday. That Bryan will be one Of
! the dominant figures in shaping the doc
ument was admitted. Whether he wins
or loses his fight on the temporary or
ganization, he will be Nebraskas mem
Der of the resolutions committee, and if
the progressives are in control he will
be the chairman of the committee.
1t has been definitely settled that
there will be no specific consideration Of
the initiative, referendum and recall, al
though it is possible that they may be
suggested as proper measures for con
sderation by the states themselves.
The direct election OF United States
senators and preferential primary, as
well as the direct nomination of most
officials, will be favored in strong terms.
The platform will declare for the regu-
ation of all corporations and for the
criminal prosecution OF all persons in
official positions on corporations that
violate the anti.monopoly laws.
A tariff for revenue only will be ia
vored, but if there is an organized at
tempt to put the party ON record as
favoring the free introduction of all raw
materials there will be a strong fight in
opposition from the southern states.
Regulation of the money trust and
pledge that the party will, if placed in
power, enact currency legislation which
will put it beyond the power OF the
banks to create panics, will also be one
of the strongest planks.
An income tax will be specifically ia
vored, and many of the leaders believe
the party should 60 on record as favor
ing a government inheritance tax.
Full publicity in all of the affairs OF
the government will be favored. as well
as the fullest and most complete pub
Lefty before election of the receipts and
for campaign purposes.
The Republican party will be scored
for its failure to reduce the tariff, the
Payne Aldrich bill being specifically de-
nounced as an assault on the wage earn
ers OF the country President Taft viii
be condemned by name for his veto OF
the various low tariff measures.
1t is the plan of all OF the leaders
to make the platform adopted here the
shortest in the recent history of the
party and to eliminate from it the elab
orate verbage usually associated with |
the declaration OF principles. The docu-
ment will neither point with pride" nor
view with alarm"
