Even n Mtildny Nnp " Defter Tba Ibe Nuou Menl. The txliolur nnd professional moo, like the anxious housewife, is apt to carry his careti to bed, nnd Inromnta becomes u curse. Men uud women who nru busied In getting uud gaining, tho merchant, tho banker, all alike, fnll to tecuro that eelf control which can manage the mind as well nsleep as awake. Normal sleep should be purely a physlologlcnl rrjvose similar to the rest of animals, who go to sleep with tho darkness mid nwakc wlfti tho light Home onu has Mid that sleep Is Uko hunger nnd thirst, representing n dimi nution of energy throughout the entire body. I. hardly think this can be true, but lu my Judgment sleep rather sug gests the diminution of the energy uf tho brain, nnd die Is a wise man who takes the hint when hrnlti fag sets irr of an evening nnd goes comfortably and properly to bed. Of course It goes without saying that night In not the only time for sleep. Men nnd women who nre btiby could steal Just n few minutes before or nftcr the noonday luncheon to catch n little nap. mid, Indeed, I am nearly euro that tho noonday nnp Is worth far more than the noonday meal, for the digestive processes arc surely hindered during thu pctiods of mental activity, nnd It Is tho exceptional person lu this busy world of ours who Is not called upon to life all his brain nnd brawn to mako n living. It has been my Jiablt to advise mothers to Meal 11 while away from every "eumbcrous caVe" and, even If sleep falls to be wooed, to tako ubouL twenty minutes every day Id nb.J eolutc peace and quietness, diverting thu mind from all anxieties and relax ing nil tho muscles. A habit of this kind Is easily acquired, and wo might hnvo fowcr neurasthenic women, whose nerves make life hideous to their fami lies, If a word like thli, spoken from considerable experience, were heeded.
