QUALITY OF
SLEEP

TIME need for sleep varies from
Il one person to another, chill
dren whose growth is very rapid,
requiring more sleep than the
average child of the same age,
says DR.. Max Seham, in Hygeia
for October. Girls, especially
during maturation, require more
sleep than boys. More sleep is
needed in winter than in summer.
The child in the primary grades
sleep. No child between II and
Ia years should have less than
nine and one-half hours of sleep.
The quality Of sleep is also inn
portant. Noise, excitement. irri-
tating music and strenuous play
before retiring induce a state of
emotional fatigue which inter-
feres with falling asleep and is
associated with fear and night
terrors. Crowded sleeping quar-
ters and bad ventilation are also
disturbing to sleep.
If two children must share one
room, separate bed should be
provided for each of them. They
should retire at the same time,
or else care must be taken so
that the one retiring later does
not disturb the sleeping one. I'M.
proper food, especially if eaten a
short time before going to bed,
robs many a child of his needed
sleep.

causing a buniOn.
Often combined with this con-
dition is the fault known as
CLAW toes" also caused by mar
row pointed shoes, especially
when the sole is made concave
from side to side. The unnatural
pressure thus induced under the
and sometimes even on the tips
of the toes. This condition is
usually associated with depres-
sion of the front of the trans
verse arch. Sooner or later a
burning pain is felt under the
balls of the toes and the sufferer
is glad to sit down and rest.
Later he feels pain over the
whole front part of the foot,
sometimes even up the leg. The
swelling and pain are due to a

body-as in the teeth, tonsils or
sinuses-the Inflammation may
become septic and infected, with
very grave results.
The height of the heel largely
depends on the length of the
Achilles tendon. A person with
a short Achilles tendon should
wear a heel just high enough to
compensate for the shortness.
The Louis type of high heel is
preferable to the Cuban because
it gives a better support to the
long arch of the foot. and would
he better still if fashion allowed
it to be made broader.
