TO BE A WELL WOMAN.
Eat Substantial, Wholesome Food, Take
Geld Baths and Exercise Freely.


No woman can be well unless she is
abundantly nourished. She must have
plenty of healthy blood. To keep up a
sufficient supply of this she must eat
an abundance of nourishing food. She
should drink plenty of milk and eat
plenty of eggs and meat. Fresh meat
is especially essential, according to
Dr. F. Winckel. Director of the Royal
University Clinic for Women in
Munich.
A woman will not have sufficient APP
petite to eat ahGnGantly unless she ex-
ercises freely, and If she does eat abun-
dainty she will have need of still
further exercise to promote the active
performance of their functions by her
digestive organs.
If slLe exercises freely, that exercise
should be taken under the most health
full conditions possible. She should
wear loose clothing at all times, but
above all when exercising. All her eX-
srcises should be taken, so far as prac
ticable. in the open air.
On rising in the. morning take q
plunge in cold water. | mean by that,
take a plunge into the water and out
again without remaining a minute or
even a second under the surface.
Many women will imagine that this
will give them n cold. but it will not
if properly done. The whole point is
To have reaction take place Immediate
". To secure this have the apart
ment in which the bath is taken heated
to at least 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Then the moment that the fair bath
er energies from the water the warm
air will strike the momentariiy chilled
surface of her body and reaction will
Immediately take place. This should
be still further promoted by vigorous
rubbing with a Turkish towel lying
fer few minutes between warm blank
cts. etc.
1t matters not how cold the water,
provided the entrance into it and exit
from 1t be instantaneous. No cold can
be taken where there is immediate re-
action. On the other hand, q similar
plunge into warm water and an emer-
gence from it into the atmosphere of a
cold room will almost inevitably cause
the bather to take cold.
A judicious system of home gymnas-
ties faithfully followed will correct
round shoulders, fiat chest and a
STOPPING gait. Show me woman
who has persistently and persevering-
ly taken fifteen minutes wise gvmnas-
tic exercise each morning and evening
in the open air daily for year and
will show you a woman with an erect,
noble bearing, a firm and graceful
walk, complexion whose bloom no
resource of art can stimulate, and a
calm, self-poSSeSsion that enables her
10 meet your gaze without flinching,
hlushing or any other evidence of awk-
wardnesS, embarrassment or self
consciousness.
Among the best movements to per-
form in such a system of exercise as
am recommending, | may mention
the following: The lady should stand
perfectly erect with her heels together
aud thoroughly initiate her lungs with
the pure morning air, drawing in her
breath very slowly and expelling it in
the same way. This should be re-
peated eight or ten times. Then
bring the arms forward at full length
with the palms together and throw
them vigorously backward till the
backs touch.
Repeat this motion seventy-fiye or a
hundred times. Then let the lady put
her arms down with her hands close
to her sides, the thumbs pointing for
ward. THEN let her raise her arms
straight up till the backs meet above
her head. Then bring them down
again till the palms again rest against
her thighs.
For The next movement let her ex.
tend her arms to the utmost above her
head, with the palms pointing forward,
and let her then lean gradually for
ward without bending her knees until
she touches the ground in front of her
toes with her finger-tips. Then let
her slowly recover her former position
and repeat this movement ad libitum
the doctor 81 life was that he was re.
garded as too tough morsel for even
a hungry Georgian to eat.
When things quieted down the
doctor" was growing old and remained
more about home. taking little interest
In the politics of the country until his
people all went wild at the election of
democratic president. which event he
celebrated by biting everything and
every body who came within reach of
his bill. And now this remarkable old
gander is listening to the joyful news
that we are TO have another democra-
tie president, and he will talk to YOU
about il, for when his master calls
"oh, doctor" he'll answer, ~Ah-ha. I"
and then when Mr.. Taylor says: The
democrats are going to win again,
Dock, he shouts "ah-ha" at the top of
his voice and chuckles TO himself in
glee at the prospect of such a thing, aud
shouts again and again: "Ah-ha-ah-
ha-l knew i'll knew it, Doctor
Alexander is the most remarkable bird
that ever walked on Georgia soil. and

represent the Empire state of the south
