fort in the coming years of manhood
and wOmanhood.
Chore Seven
Bedtime should come early. No
child can play we'll without abundant
sleep nor sleep we'll without play in
the open air. No child can develop
into strong manly man or womanly
woman without abundant sleep that
! is cool and restful in the open night
, air. Too much bed clothing causes
over heating and excessive sweating,
which should be avoided.
ChOre Eight
Tea or coffee is injurious to the
growing child. The drinking of
water in abundance before meals
and after supper promotes increase
of body-weight and regularity of
habits. 1t washes out the wastes of
the body. At school and in public
places and on railroad trains, water
should be drunk only from your own
individual cup, never from one used
by stranger.
ChOre Nine
Eating slowly means thoro chew
ing and the proper moistening of the
food with saliva, helping the diges-
tion of food within the stomach and
intestines. Some fresh fruit or leafy
vegetable and at least a pint of milk
should be taken each day. Avoid
greasy fried food, soggy breads and
highly spiced foods of any kind.
Sweets should be eaten only at the
close of the meal, never between !
meals. When eaten between meals,
sweets disturb the appetite and diges-
ton and in this way may bring about
and under-height for
the age. The children of the rich
often suffer from this cause.
Chore Ten
If you expect others to have regard
for your health and happiness you
should be thoughtful of their well
fare and happiness. Remembers
Others" Keep your mind clean
from impure thoughts and be clean in
your behavior. Avoid accidents by
being watchful. Cheerfulness pro-
notes digestion.
Chore Eleven
Cleanliness is said to be next to
godliness; it surely is akin to right
eousness. 1t promotes cheerfulness,
and personal health
and efficiency Bathing is practiced
'or personal appearance, comfort,
cleanliness, health, prevention of
disease and for comfort and welfare
# others. The hands and face should

demands. Uncovered parts of the ,

ARTS where sweating is profuse or /
re confined and parts liable to be d
