Do With Less Sleep

The beauty sleep" theory has a
successor. You must now learn to do
without sleep as much as possible.
OF course, sleep is a half-conscious
pleasure, but, like other pleasures. il
is, a great waste of valuable time. II
you learn the rules of the new theory
you will have opportunity to read
those books you intended TO finish
last month or go to the theatre oft
ener or do work which win Increase
your income.
And now Thomas Edison says we
need only two hours of sleep a night.
Physicians have formerly maintained
that a woman needs from seven to
nine hours sleep a night, while most
men need take only five or six. They
account for the difference by explain
ing that women are nervous by tenn
permanent and that sleep is the only
thing that will counteract this fault.
When Edison was slxty-seven years
of age he conducted a forty-day cam
paign for the perfection of his phono-
graph and took only two hours of
sleep each day. And now he has con-
yerted his wife to the short sleep
theory.
He says that little eating prolongs
life and makes the eight-hour sleep
unnecessary. He believes that the
baby Is quite a creature of habit and
that one can just as well teach cells
to repair the WEAKNESS of the day
IN four or five hours as in ten or
tweive.-Exchange.

A Moonbeam Wish Book

An ingenious woman who is fond OF
music and art has made an interest
Ing wish book, which she calls THE
Moonbeam." Its plan is based on the
superstition that wishes made when
seeing the new moon will be granted.
1t is a charming little conceit and
has just that symbolic touch that
every person wishes. 1t is gotten up
in an artistic way. with a number OF
illustrations representing scenes in
which the moon appears.
Each page has a border illustrated
with fanciful and symbolic designs.
In fact, the spirit of superstition is
brought into play on every page OF
the book. On the pages are spaces
for each day of the year, in which
wishers are to write their most pre-
cious desires, signing their names be-
meath. There are also pages for COM
mon everyday wishes. Quotations ex-
pressing sentiments about the moon
or omens for good are inscribed for
every month of the year.-Exchange

food. After thoroughly cleansing the
face rub the cream well into the skin
and when it is applied at night dc
not remove the coating.
A Skin Food.
White wax, two drains; oil OF
almonds, two ounces; orange flower
water, two ounces; oil of sweet or
ange, one dram; spermaceti, two
drains.
Carefully examine. the face each
morning, and If the skin is firm and
elastic, simply rub it well with the
cream, but If it appears dry and out
of condition it must be massaged
with a skin food. Apply 1t to the
skin with the finger tips, using a
firm, rotary motion until the skin
has absorbed all the oil 1t can. Now,
smooth out the wrinkles in the fore
head by drawing the fingers straight
across the brow from the centre to-
ward the temples. Continue this for
some time, so that the blood will be
brought to the surface and the cream
we'll worked into the skin.
Banishing Crows Feet"
Hard water is very trying to the
skin, particularly in winter. and the
woman who values a smooth skin
will try to obtain enough rain water
to use for cleansing her face. The
use of soft water will prevent many
wrinkles.
The small wrinkles about the eyes,
commonly known as crows feet"
begin to appear when cold weather
arrives. Massage is the only remedy
for these unsightly lines. Dip the
forefinger into the cream and apply
it with a rotary motion to the cor
ner of each eye. Make the upward
stroke much harder than the down.
ward. Before long you will notice
that the fine lines will have begun
to disappear.
One OF the oldest remedies for
wrinkles is milk of sweet almonds.
Our grandmothers used this and no
other skin food, as it possesses prop
critics which soften and whiten the
skin. Almond milk may be pur-
chased at any pharmacy, but you
can make it in the following manner:
Take 80 Jordan almonds and blanch
them. (This is done by covering them
with boiling water and removing the
outside brown skim Pound them in
a mortar with three quarters of a
