Learn to Do With Less Sleep

THE beauty Sleep theory has a sue
cessor. You must now learn to do
without sleep as much as possible.
OF course sleep is a half conscious
pleasure; but, like other pleasures, it
is 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 theater oftener or do work
which will increase your income. ~ r.
And now Thomas Edison says we
need only two hours Of sleep night
Physicians have formerly maintained
that a woman needs from seven to nine
hours' sleep q night. while most men
need take only five or six. They ac-
count for the difference by explaining
that women are nervous by tempera-
ment and that sleep is the only thing
that will scounteract this fault. ia
+ When Edison was siXty-seven years
OF age he conducted forty day cam
paign for the perfection of his phono-.
graph and took only two hours Of sleep
leach day. And now he has converted
his wife to the short sleep theory /.
He says that little eating prolongs
life and makes the eight hour sleep I'M
necessary. He believes that the baby
lis quite creature Of habit and that
one can just as well teach cells to re-
pair the WEAKNESS Of the day in four
