Never Lie Down Dressed WitheH a

When dropping down on n coueh tnaf
a nap during the day many persons
seem to feel that, because they are
fully dressed, it is not at all necessary
TO add extra covering. iii
While we are awake we are constant
" In motion of some sort. Every move
ment, no matter how slight it is, brings
into action some muscles. Every hms
an effort is made the blood rushes for
ward to deuge those moving muscles.
The heart beats more quickly follow
ing effort. and the air streams in great.
or abundance into the lungs. az, a.:
..Alr'of this means that action, and The
consequent effort creates and keeps up
what we call normal bodily heat
Now during what we call sleep all
these conditions are charged. The
muscles rest as well as the brain. The
heart beats more slowly, and tie
breathing is, in consequence, more
quietly done-all of which tends 20
bring about the lowering of the body's
temperature, and the sleeping person
loses some Of this heat. He senses or
feels this loss readily and often, # ne
has lain uncovered, such person Is
heard to complain Of feeling cold upon
awakening.
Therefore to enable one 10 keep In
or retain the normal bodily heat Thile
