 activity during the day, as 9 result of overaddiction to business, S0cial and intellectual pursuits often per sists at night in the form of rest less and broken sleep.
 It is curious fact that the more tired one is the harder it is to get to sleep, and that emotional states of excitement, anxiety and worry may postpone the onset of sleep. It is not the rhythmic type of exercise that induces insomnia, but the marked degrees of tension &C., companying mental work and worry. For these reasons, overtense men, tai workers always complain of in, somnia. Too much emphasis cannot be placed on the fact that many in- tellectual workers try to exist on rations of sleep which are far be- low the necessary minimum Be- cause mental work tends to drive

BY MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer

Together with the national drive to build up our defenses, great interest in food economy sweeps sweeps across the country. House. wives realize that necessary taxes for rearmament will cut into their domestic budgets. But wise buying and intelligent menu planning, kite chen efficiency and the determina- ton not to waste one calorie or one vitamin will keep the family nutri- tion standard as high as ever.
 Saving on food costs because of the national taxes for defense, is important. But not as important as keeping the family's standard of nutrition up to an adequate level. Growth, vitality and the abil- ity to achieve depend on having in the diets foods that serve all the necessary purposes.
 Your daily food for the family must include some items from each of thse groups: CD milk and cheese, t2) fruits and vege- tables, (3) eggs, meats. poultry and fish, (4) cereals, breadstuffs, sweets and fatty foods. In order to keep foods appetizing and to prevent blandness, you'll want some from this group, too; (5) tea, coffee, bak- ing powder, spices and herbs.
 If an adequate diet for your family takes a larger proportion of your income than you planned, try to offset this by buying only seasonal foods that are abundant, by using every edible part of the food, by preventing any waste through poor refrigeration. Learn how to use less expensive fruit, vegetables and meats. Study cook books and cooking time tables.
 If. however. despite these econ- omies. your food budget still takes e greater proportion of your inc come than you like to give 1t, face the fact. In times like these, every American citizen has a pa- triotic duty to keep well and vital. You can't be personally it with- out an adequate food supply. Therefore. cut down on your en- tertainment, your travel and on any other desirable but not 60 es. sential budgets and spend the money on nutrition for yourself and your family.
 Diets to Fit the Family -In- come" Is q booklet prepared by Inc Department of Home Eccnom. les. It viii guide you through Illese days when . crisis ir world affairs is bringing about changes h our normal ways of living. Write to the Superintendent of 1 Documents. Washlnstonl D. O. ,

Rssrse to argue after dinner. one to stage of hyperexcitability. the intellectual worker feels alert and is inclined to scrimp on sleep.
 When he lives on 8 minimum of sleep, he is constantly in a stage of physiologic as well as psychologist Apprehension, which in its turn will carry the body toward eventual breakdown.
 One of the worst features of men, tai work is that it may keep an individual in 6 state of neuro-mus- cular hyperexcitability late in the evening. A sure way to counteract a habit of lying awake is to go to bed before one is tired or to be- come rested before trying to go to sleep.
 That may sound paradoxical, but just try these few rules for several evenings in succession:
 l. Refuse to do any work con- nected with your business after dinner.
 ?. Refuse to take part in an ar- gument after dinner.
 3. Refuse to participate in hectic recreation in the evening. 1. Get into bed very soon after dinner, rest your body. and read a book unconnected with your work When you begin to have dificulty getting the meaning of the sen- tences, sleep is not far of. It should be wooed, even if the hour is early. You have gone to bed to sleep, so give yourself up to the luxury of a long nights rest. Do not let yourself stay awake to review the affairs of today or to plan for the future. Nothing will prepare you better for tomorrow's work or play than tonight's sleep.

 And who, in leafing through a southern songbook, ever skips Eos ter's 'Oh Susanna? Happily. you warble:
 T came to Alabama wid my banjo
 on my knee,
 I'm g'wan to Louisiana, My true love for to see." Of course you'll want to wind up the program with a stirring old | time spiritual. Nobody Knows the ! Trouble I've Seen" calls for lots of feeling.

If mosquitoes went about their work silently mosquito bites would not be so maddenins. But that cheerful song they sing as they come upon juicy moseilis so de- moralizing that even if the attacker escapes your furious blows to hum again later in the evening, you suf- fer as much from Illustration as you would from half a dozen bites.
 Male mosquitoes are vegetarians. The females only bite men or anil mals, requiring animal blood for the full development of their eggs.

Just the reverse of the usual procedure, The breakfrcnt, two important consoles, a handsome library desk and two lamp tables at either end of the sofa are in strip ped pine. The coffee table ispaint- ed a lovely tone of cafe au lait that llarmonizes perfectly. Two loung-. ing chairs have mahogany frames and legs, and beside one is a quaint 18th century plant stand in naIo- gany.
 In modern exhibition rooms there is wide use of bleached walnut with natural American walnut. And often natural walnut is combined with one of the other bleached woods.
 French Provincial schemes, when not in all walnuts, usually are wall nut and fruit, wood.
 BLACK LACQUER IS
 FINE CONTRAST TO MAPLE
 Black, painted pieces set off early American maple. For instance, black ladder back chair Is lovely with a maple desk or dressing ta- ble. Mahogany is attractive with maple attractive and right. Black lacquer chairs might make a per- manent grouping around walnut card table.
 Satinwood and mahogany are nice r together. And one of the most at- tractive living rooms we have seen has low modern coffee table of bleached mahogany. two, consoles and plant stand of walnut and 8 desk and two beautiful side chairs of rich, mellow mahogany. The walls are pale, grayish green, the rug slightly deeper green.
 Incidentally, we have seen num- Der of floors covered wall to wall with carpeting that matches exact- ly the color of the walls.

A designing" sort of dress-Pat- tern 939! For though 1t appears to be perfectly simple and straight forward, every inch has been care fully planned by Claire Tilden to slim and enhance your silhouette; to deftly correct your figure faults. You'll like the easy way that the neckline continues into a convenient and decorative bodice buttoning. The yokes are shaped in graceful curves, with gathers or darts to hold in the softness below. Two panels in the skirt front give tall, slimming lines and nice walking freedom as you step along. Make long sleeves or short ones that may be smartly finished of by rounded tabs. Notice that two neckline versions are shown-one V-shaped; the other high and curved. with the front bodice extending in one easy piece to the back to form collar-efect. This smart frock Is so quick to cut and stitch with the Sewing Guides directions that you'll probably make the low-necked style in colorful print for now. and save the pat- tern to use for higher-necked wool or dark crepe frock this fall.
 Pattern e39 is cut in women's sizes 36. 3e, 70, 42, A, 46 and 46. Size 36 requires 3h yards 3o inch fabric.

 New York = Midsummer furni- ture sales, with a bumper crop of bargains in separate and odd pieces as well as in related groups, give the amateur decorator chance to follow teh professionals example of using different woods and different periods in the same room.
 Furniture of different periods, of about the same date, can be con- bined compatibly," says one import ant decorator. Using different woods in one room not only is per- missible, but often most desirable, :" she continues.
 Then she shows one room with French Provincial walnut and early American maple arrestingly com bined. The warm brown walnut with the honeyed tones of the maple is pleasing as contrast as well as restful to the eye.
 WALNUT GOES WE'LL WITH MAHOGANY
 In another room by decorator, handsome Georgian walnut pieces share the spotlight with later and lighter English 18th century fur niture A wing chair, an octagonal table, candle stand and coffee table are in walnut, while secretary, com mode, mirror and upholstered chair are in mahogany.
 In other words, if you need a new coffee table for a room fur nished in English 18th century mahogany, you can consider tht Georgian walnut, the French Pro- vincial, even the modern coffee ta- bles displayed in sales, as well as the 18th century mahogany ones.
 In one of the newest exhibition rooms, there's prodigal use of strip.

 The women who is determined to reduce could do 1t with a great deal less trouble to herself If she would put the whole matter on business like basis, considering the loss Of weight as job to be done-with no more fuss and bother and conversa- tion than necessary. Even though the job isn't exactly fun she could look on it as she used to look on a not exactly pleas ant task the boss gave her to do when she worked in an office. She could do 1t just the same way-get-. ting proper directions, then quietly doing the job in systematic fash ion.
