It's their idea that if you

not likely to fall into an >un-

matter what you call it, they
include rationing as minor

il is the habit of worrying and
stewing over such things that
makes it hard for you TO relax
and get a sound sleep.
Try New Work
Their advice is 10 get into
some worthwhile work that
gives you contact with other
people. This is particularly i'm
portant if you are a home maker
and see your family only at
mealtimes. How well they do
their jobs depends on you-and
yet you are very apt TO feel left

Get into some activity like
