CHECKS, which came in with

a rush at the beginning of the season, show every sign of carrying us right through the summer and beyond.

REST for BEAUTY

because it is such simple treatment and costs nothing.

The woman who lives at continual high pressure all through the day, whether occupied with her work or with social galetles, will soon pay the penalty in early wrinkles, pre- maturely grey hair, and a tired, hag- gard appearance.

In addition to eight hours sound sleep at night, every woman past her first youth should try to arrange for an hour's complete rest during the dny. The hour after lunch is the deal time, but if this cannot be managed, the hour preceding the evening meat is atroost as good.

Good restful sleep at night is most 15 Common important. Insomnia Is complaint in these days of hurry and worry, but nothing ages a woman Pale Imed faces, tired more rapidly. dull looking eyes, and a strained, anxious expression, are the Inevitable consequences, apart from such dis- ustrous consequences as irritable, un- balanced nerves, continual headaches, and general inssitude.

Early to Bed

The slightest tendency to insomnie should be warded off at once before it has time to develop into a habit. A heavy meal late at night is a fre- quent cause of sleeplessness, to is en l-ventilated room, an uncomforatble bed, or being too hot or too cold, but the most important thing of all is to compose the mind.

Some people and that a glass of hot milk, sipped slowly, or a warm but no! hot bath just before getting Into bed, will help them to sleep. If, after lying awake for some time, sleep does not come, an excellent plan, is to pace the room for a few minutes. Getting back into a warm bed when just slightly chilled hus a wonderfully soporific effect.

Sleeping drugs, above all things, should be avoided, so if the simple remedies already mentioned are of no avall, a doctor should be consulted. A Trained Nurse
