perly. If a child is accustomed to a
regular bedtime from infancy, not
only as his chances improved for nor
NAL development of body and mind,
but the parents problems of child
management are s~implified.
Long hours of sound sleep are
one of the essentials for a child's
mental and physical development.
The night rest depends largely upon
how the day has been spent. An ex-
citing day without a nap may leave
a child too tired to sleep. Especially
should the half hour before bedtime
be free from excitement. Pleasures
then should be tranquil. without
romping games or exciting stories. A
child who goes to bed in a calm state
of mind is likely to sleep we'll and
to be easy to manage the next day.
Clashes between parents and child
often are due to the fact that the
child is worn out from lack of
sleep.
The well-developed child with
firm muscles, a sturdy body, erect
posture, a clear skin, clear eyes
without circles under them, a happy
disposition, and a good appetite is
probably Citing the right kind and
amount of sleep.

Way "BuiId-up" Helps

The cause of a woman's periodic
suffering from headache, irritable
ity, cramp-like pain, may be fane-
tionai dysmenovrhea due to malnu-
triton, a condition that is often
helped by CARDUI.
Principal way CARDUI helps is
by stimulating appetite and the flow
of gastric juices. Thus it may aid
digestion; help build up a woman's
strength, energy and nerve-force;
so increase physical resistance to
periodic discomfort.
1t also helps reduce periodic dis

In 1888 Denton helped organize a
