Stop Before You Are Too Tired.

Margaretta Tuttle writes fiction story
entitled The Runaway Rest Cure"
In which a physician gives a patient
the following good advice:
1T is not the brain, nor the charac
ter that suffers first from overworF
but the body; and it is not until after
the body has rendered up its excess
vitality-its youthfulness-that the
nerves begin to pay toll. You are not
yet az that place; you are simply phys
ically tired. But this tire is Danger
Gus, because It is the warning that the
limit of your physical support is nearly

value of fatigue as warning. Those
who do the best work stop just before
they are tired"

The lnacsive Woman.

Women the world over have a bane-
ful habit OF leading inactive lives.
They persuade themselves that they
get plenty Of exercise while doing
housework, and then when they go to
bed at night they cannot sleep. Just
for a change, try little exercise out
of doors after the afternoon sun has
gone down and the air is cool. Fill
your lungs with all the fresh air they
will hold, taking deep breathing exer
cises as you walk along, then go home
and see if you do not sleep better than
you did the night before when you had
not taken any fresh air into your
starved lungs.
