it, diet, exercise and baths sink into insig-
nifcance. My rale-faced countrywomen

reaijustment Of the dress about the mid
die of the body. The part contains the
vital organs. Is q man strong? it is be-
cause the middle Of his body is strong. Is
! woman vigorous? it is because the middle

lance is in the order named:
l. The dress about the waist is to be very
loose, without whalehones or other stiffen-
ing, and the skirts carried with suspenders
over the shoulders.
2 The arms and legs are to be so warmly
dressed as to maintain healthy circulation.
3 The skirts to fall 70 the knee.

several changes is in the order named. The
lungs, heart. liver and stomach, which to-
gether make up the fountain of life. must
have room, or the vital forces must hall.
With the corset and tight lacing, these or
gans are reduced one-third in size and two

living thing, either animal or vegetable, has

Whoever, whatever living thing has defec-
