themselves performing Ilttle pnySlcai
tasks such as might ordinarily be
reiegatcd to servants. a womun
who sweeps and dusts, lifts and

"A morning, has taken exercise In n
practical and valuable way"
Probably the eight training" OF
the athlete writer who can "lift
three men weighing $50 pounds
apiece and trot with them for 100
YARDS would not fall short of the
measure OF u day ut the washtur.
Don't be afraid, my dear young
woman, oil exercise and work down
right work, leaving you coarse. 1t
VIII render you supple If you spring
to 1t quickly, actively, and 1t VIII
prevent your gaining n thirty-lnch
waist when you are ten years older,
1t Will not do to step into hard
work ut once or hard gymnastics,
but drop your measured movements
| getting around, not n clumsy rush,
but light swiftness, a lndy's alert
ness, not the heavy movements Of
n servant girl. Time yourself In
everything, doing IL with accom-
| pllshed celerlty In the brlefest space
possible. In this you are only
training yourself to what princes
and princesses are taught.
| should like to see the petted
darllngs of common families trained
To dress themselves and perform
their morning duties with the
brevity required from an emperor's
children. American boys and girls
would feel abused IL the strict obe-
dience and celebrity enforced on
princes were demanded of them.
Yet young people with their
places to make I'm the world need
all the swiitness and strength they
can acquire.
Moderate outdoor exercise e-that
Is, fnst while one Is about 1t, but not
prolonged to exhaustion--is the best
medicine for digestive trouble, es-
pecially for the queasy stomachs left
by the grip.
One of the very best exercises for
this Is the very essential one In most
gardens of picking out stones from
he borders and throwing them in u
heap There is no brain veal about
IL, but shoulders and arms come In
play, and the bending and rising
call the muscles of the back and
abdomen Into action, strengthening
them and the organs they contain.
II Is valuable for reducing the girth
OF the waist, and better than horse
back riding for contracting paunchy
J outlines.
i Sallowness from the grip Is the
subject of daily complaint by cor
respondents. The great remedy is
outdoor sunshine. Dispense with
the fashionable broad brimmed hat;
wear q toque or the small bonnet,
with only brim to shade the eyes If
they are weak, and keep yourselves
In the sun every hour possible from
now till snow flies.
Every cloth weaver knows Oc-
tober and November are the best
months of the year for bleaching, as
the chemical rays Of light have
force rather than heat rays. Re-
hners of wax expose 1t to sunshine
these months in large watts and
sheets; linen weavers put out their
webs. Compilations freely exposed
to light at this period lose freckles
and tan. Sunshine, In short, il the
only outward application to be
recommended for bilious sallowness.
Yellow tan isremoved by outward
applications, like toilet cerate, which
is the best outside cosmetic L have
known, and the safest.
The best bleach for the hands /
lever found Is toilet cerate. After
pairing fruit for preserving and an
afternoon gathering wild plants and
gardening, my hands were in con.
dition to keep one out of society for
a week; but to use all means for that
end rubbed in little cerato and
drew on thread gloves for sleep. The
gloves were not solied, ana my sur
prise was as great as my satisfaction
to find the hands very presentable
In the morning, much more 80 than
cosmetic gloves would make them
in three days. For protecting the
skin from cold winds and hot fires
in housekeeping nothing in my eX-
perience compares with 1t.
Those ladies in Colorado and New
Mexico who have repeatedly written
to know of something to protect
their faces from the parchlng winds
and dust will find this what they
have been looking for. 1t is com
plete protection for the skin, with
out greasiness or Disagreement. To
use 1t to advantage, wash the face in
warm or hot water, dry carefully,
and rub q bit of cerate the size of a
pea into the skin with light, brisk
rubbing, till the shiny look passes
and the skin has delicate but
effective protecting film, under
which the skin softens and whitens
by Its natural action when shielded
from its enemies-glare wind and
dust. 1t is not a hair dressing, and
