beauty but to health and fitness.

The amount of sleep needed

A. safe to state that you need at

If YOU cannot sleep, the chances
Ara YOU have broken some physi-
cal law Of health or else are upset
mentally and emotionally. The in
telligent way to overcome insom.
MIA is to trace and remove the
cause.
That cause may be too much
coffee or tea, excessive smoking,
lack OF ventilation, indigestion,
over-fatigue, worry or fear.
If you do not sleep we'll try
these suggestions:
Fifteen minutes outdoors before
YOU go to bed.
Leisurely undressing and re-
rnoyal OF CRIME from the face with
cold cream.
Al loisurely lukewarm bath.
Slipping glass of warm milk or
even cold milk, twenty minutes be-
fore retiring.
Relaxing comfortably and read
ing about ten minutes from an I'M
exciting magazine or book before
switching out the lights.
One minute Of deep breathing.
Above all else, do not take drugs
to induce alumber, ercept on your
physicians personal prescription.

then you should be able to let
go'' and drop off into sound sleep
five minutes after you lie down
on your bed at night.
Speaking of beds. it is most i'm.
portant that the mattress and
springs should be of the best.
Money spent on a good box spring
and mattress is well invested in
health and beauty.
Open all your bedroom windows,
and, il necessary, protect yourself
from flies and mosquitoes by
means OF mosquito netting thrown
over the bed. Use only a small
pillow.
Overeating sometimes brings on
sIeeplessness. Under-exercising is
another potent cause. If you make

five miles daily, the chances are

awaken in the morning with the

and WEAKNESS banished from mind
and body.
DO not worry,if YOU find It hard
fo sleep. Resolve to rest, even
though you do not sleep. Just
getting up and walking about the
room may rest you.
Put cold compress on your
head, make your bed coverings
comfortable, neither too heavy nor,

ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
by Beatrice Fairfax.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have known a. certain young
man for about two years. / am
friend Of his sister. | liked him
the first time l saw him.
He got angry with me--you may
say for nothing. He has a quick
temper. He told his sister he
would never come to my house
any more. / am still friendly with
his sister. Shall4I call him up?
It's Leap Year. SO l suppose 1t
would be all right.
/ shall have to face him some
time as ! go over to see his sister.
Shall speak to him when ] see
him? Or shall l wait for him to
speak first?
Please do not tell me to give him
up. ! like him very much.
l. NJ. S.
OF course you like your friend,
my dear. Hasty quarrels should
not be allowed to break up a
good friendship.
Were you not just the least bit
in the wrong? If so, the very
next time you see your friend,
you tell him so. and ask whether
you and he cannot be friends
again. ! think you will find he is
glad to make up" and only his
pride stands in the way.
If you were not in the wrong,
treat him nicely anyway when
next you see him. Don't carry a
chip on your shoulder-life is too
short. And / would not call him
up il / were you, Leap Year or
no Leap Year, unless you have
an urgent, important message.
You will find that most young
men like to take the lead them
selves when it comes to calling
up. Just be so sweet and attrac-
tive that he will wish very much
to call you up and come often to
see you. Good luck!

CASH PLAN PAYS

ure and Fewer Reposses-
sions in Survey.

One reason the Canadians seem to
despite their relatively smaller incomes
Is that they pay cash for what their
American cousins are accustomed to
purchase on the Acknowledgements plan.
The Canadian will save for months
to buy radio set, piano or an auto
mobile. and, once the merchandise Is
his. he feels sense Of ownership and a
pride of possession which more than
rcpays him for his sacrifice. There is
a certain feeling Of security in owner
ship and in cash payment that can be
enjoyed under no other purchase plan.
These observations were suggested to
G.. M. williams, automobile head, by a
perusal of a recent bulletin issued by
the Ohio Council of the National Auto
mobile Dealers Association bearing on
the repossession problem as the finance
companies find 1t in that territory.
Down Payment Guide.
This bulletin, Mr.. williams found,
furnishes an interesting commentary on
human nature. II showed that In case
where the initial payment on a motor
car represented third OF It's price
the percentage OF repossessions was
only 81.
This percentage increased however,
in almost gcomctrical proportion as the
first payment grew smaller. Thus, II 1t
represented only a quarter of the cars
value. rcposscssions rose to So per cent.
and II less than a quarter Of the selling
price, rcposSessions reached II per cent.
"Of course" said Mr.. Williams. the

Americans, and If the automobile man.
