Beauty Hints

successor. You must now learn
to do without sleep as much as
possible. OF course, sleep is n
half-conscious pleasure, but, like other
pleasures, it is a great waste of valn-
able time. If you learn the rules OF

crease your income.
And now Thomas Edison says we only
need two hours of sleep a night. Physi-
clans have formerly maintained that a
woman needs from seven to nine hours
sleep a night, while most men need only
take five or elk. They account for the
difference by explaining that women are
nervous by temperament and that sleep
Is the only thing that will counteract
This fault.
When Edison was sixty-seven years
Of age he conducted a forty-day cam
pagn for the perfection of his phono-
graph, and only took two hours Of sleep
each day. And now he has converted

ance around Kagoshima run into the
thousands. The government authori-

of Kagoshima, which was almost COM

had population of sixty thousand.
The adjoining island of Cakura, the
center of the disturbance, had popu-
lation of fifteen thousand. Hundreds
on this island were reported as having
perished under the streams of lava.
Many others drowned in attempting to
escape from the island. Great show
ers of dust are falling here today,
