A Hard working thief

rHE JOYS or TODAY.

BY Paul Fleming.
Why shouldst thou fill today with sorrow
About tomorrow,

One watches all with care most true;
Doubt not that He will give thee, too,
Thy part.

Nor seek earths favor,
But rest.
Thou knowest what Gods will must be
For all His creatures-so for thee.

HOW TO WOO SLUMBER

breeze because of drawn curtains or
shades.
There are several ways of making the
bed actually cooler to sleep in than it or
dinarly is. Probably the best way is to
let it air thoroughy-even longer than
usual-and then to make 1t only partly.
Spread the bottom sheet tight, turning 1t
snugly under at the corners. II the room
need not be used during the day. leave the
bed this way until night. Then. at bed
time, spread the top sheet evenly over the
bed and fasten it to the head and foot
boards foot or so above the bed. This
arrangement creates a draught of dir
which, in its passing, cools the body.
OF course, an unmade bed is untidy, Mrs
Good Housekeeper. But what of that?
Is it not better to let your family sleep
comfortably through the few really torrid
nights of the summer at the expense of
untidy rooms for a few days, than 70 have
the rooms always in order and the family
threshing about wakefully on their cots
Take your choice between comfortable
family and neat rooms.
Linen sheets are cooler than cotton ones.
most every one agrees; so, If you have
linen sheets, use them in the hot weather.
Let the sheets be always crisp and fresh
looking. even at the expense of a bigger
laundry bill If sleeping comfort is what
you are trying to bring about
Some persons find sleeping without
mattress cooler than sleeping with one.
But doubtless it would take most of us the
few hot nights of the summer to learn to
accustom our poor bones to the some
what doubtful comforts of springs covered
with blanket and sheet. For the a1-
vocates of the no-mattress theory recon-
mend blanket in consideration of the
human weakness for a soft place to lay
| the head.
| Others sleep with strip OF mating be-
tween the sheet and the mattress. This
method of making the bed really does
bring GOODNESS. for the mating is porous
and so permits the circulation of air be-
tween the body and the mattress all night
long.
If 1t Is possible to do SO, convert some
veranda into an outdoor sleeping place dur
ing the very warm weather. But il this
veranda is not screened don't send your
family forth unarmed against flies, mos
quitoes ard other insects. Provide each
with a big piece of mosquito netting to
drepe over the cot, couch. hammock, bed
or chair which is TO be his sleeping place.

The phrase college life" is an
Anericanism and it has no equivalent
in any other language but English It
describes, to those whose use with

perience out of which grows a deep
sentiment made up Of pleasure, friend

peculiar grace that reaches out

Back to their Alma Mater, and the
comradeship Of their classmates To
most graduates their college life
seems their golden age; through the
mist OF years the campus becomes an
Island OF Utopia whose very tediums
grow bright in the retrospect. the
sting of whose sins and failures was
always lessened by the power Of the
ideals and hopes that filled it's air.

Another sought to regulate the size of
