SOME MISTAKES WE MAKE.

By Anon.

It is a mistake to work when you are not in a fit condition to do so.

To take off heavy underclothing because you have become overheated.

To go to bed late at night and rise at daybreak, and imagine that every hour taken from sleep is an hour gained.

To imagine that if a little work or exercise is good, violent or prolonged exercise is better.

To conclude that the smallest room in the house is large enough to sleep in.

To sleep exposed to a direct draught at any season.

To imagine that whatever remedy causes one to feel immediately better, as alcoholic stimulants, for example, is good for the system, without regard to the after effects.

To eat as if you had only a minute in which to finish the meal, or to eat without an appetite, or to continue after it has been satisfied to gratify the taste.

To give unnecessary time to a certain established routine of housekeeping when it could be more profitably spent in rest or recreation.—Anon.
