For a Quiet Moment HURRYING TO WORK THERE'S more in this than appears on the lace of it, The chances are that the hurrying per- ' son got up late, dressed hurriedly, had. a, rushed breakfast, snapped at someone rather cruelly, tore off to the station and arrived, at the office or workshop in bad condition, both physically and men tally. Back ol" it all, maybe, the cause was the unwisdom of going to bed late. It is foolish, first of all, to rob oneself of sleep. If we have to get to our job by a certain time, it, means that continuous late hours take away a considerable rmount of sleep in the course of the year. And frequently that means further loss of mental control and vitality. Our energy and nervous resources are reduced and there's a feeling of being good for nothing. It doesn't pay; it can't pay. If we keep it up, we shall lay the foundation of illhealth, bodily and mentally, in the years to come. And in the prcsI ent we. shall not succeed in the | struggle for position. i All that is necessary is a regular way of life; going to bed at ■a reasonable hour, being content and therefore sleeping well, getting up promptly instead of turning over for those extra few minutes, giving ourselves time to dress, time to eat our breakfast, time to be kind to those around us __time to catch the train. It's worth trying— G.H.G.
