SOFT BEDS AND LARGE
PILLOWS ARE INJURIOUS
philadelphia Inquirer.)

No matter how comfortable a soft
bed and large, soft pillows may be,
they are not healthful, and women es-
pecially would do well to avoid them,
for they assist materially in injur-
ing their physical appearance. When
the body sinks down in a soft bed
considerable portion Of the skin is
robbed of its proper ventilation,
and the circulation is interfered
with. It also helps to make the mus
cles fiabby.
A hard bed will make the flesh
firmer, and the form must therefore,
appear somewhat better as a result.
The large pillows are not good to
sleep on because the head is too
high when it rests on them, and it pre-
vents that deep, regular breathing
which gives good lungs and in conse-
quence better appearance to the
bust and shoulders.
One ought always to sleep on the
left side and preferably with the
arms at the back. This may be a lit
tie awkward at first, but as soon as
one become accustomed to il she will
find it not only the most restful and
easy, but the position in which sleep
is more easily induced. The pillow,
should, of course, be small and the
bed hard, or at least firm. The body
is then in the correct position for
sleeping and for helping the physical
appearance of the person while at
rest.
The arms at the back throw the
chest forward, make the shoulders
broader and the back straighter, SO
that material assistance toward
good carriage in thus obtained.
When one lies on the back, even tho
the pillow is small, it has a tendency
to crook the shoulders, and many
cases of stopped shoulders have prob
ably originated in that way.

KENTUCKY DER
BY SATURDAY
Eternal and Billy Kelly VIII Settle
the Question Of Superiority.

The forty-ffth Kentucky Derby
will be run at Churchill Downs next
Saturday, and the most interesting
race in the history of the derby, be-
fore the greatest crowd on record, is
the promise that is held for the 1919
renewal.
The Derby is easily the foremost
race on the American turf today. It's
history, dating back to 1875 with an
unbroken succession, gives it a pres
tige that surpasses that Of any 9TH
er race, and the honor of winning the
Kentucky Derby is more keenly
sought than any other a turfman can
hope for.
The Derby of 1919 is the first to
be run by the Kentucky Jockey Club,
the organization that is epoch-mak-
ing in the history of the turf. 1t will
be the richest Derby ever known, the
club having added $4,000 to it.
The crowd will not only be the
largest but the most brilliant on rec
ord. The rush for boxes and reserved
seats surpasses any ever known.
Churchill Downs next Saturday will
be the scene of the most picturesque
and most representative gathering in
the history Of Louisville.
The millionaire sportsmen of the
East and North and of the United
States in general will be at the
Downs when the barrier rises. for the
Derby. Louisville society will be out
in force and parties from New York,
Chicago, st. Louis, Lexington, Pitts
burg, Cincinnati and other cities will
enhance the social interest Of Derby
day.
To complete the value Of the 1919
Derby, it has the keenest racing in
terest that has ever been known.
Eternal and Billy Kelly, the great q
year-old rivals, will meet for the first
time since their great race in the
John R. Mclean Memorial Handicap
at Laurel, when Eternal won by a
head.
Sir Barton, Vindex, Donboyne, Be
Frank, Sailor, st. Bernard, Under
Fire, Drummond, Toto, Col Taylor,
Sennings Park, American Ace, and
Regala are considered sure starters,
while a number of others are placed
of the doubtful list.
