The Best Kind of Exercise.

Now, why not be exercised? The Turk
ish bath is one step in that direction, and
the floor rest" is another.
Any woman who is fortunate enough TO
command the services of lady's maid or
who can call in an attendant at stated
times or can secure the cooperation of one
of her own family can receive exercise in
stead of exercising. When a long and hard
day of social or serious duties is before or
behind her, this royal way of resting the
muscles and stimulating the respiration is
good and most ciiicacious.
Have warm blanket or drugget, kept
especially for this purpose, spread smooth
ly on the floor. Then get into loose gar
ments and place yourself at full length on
this hard bed for half an hours manipula-
ton.
While you lie as limp and indifferent as
a rag baby your attendant, whom you
have previously instructed, gently rolls and
kneads your body, lifts and drops and
twists and swings your arms and legs.
The head-the body's 9Th limb-receives
much the same treatment that is given the
legs and arms, but should be handled vish
special gentlcncsS
Your own duties consist in first assur'
ing yourself that your breathing Is full.
free ard controlled by the diaphragm, and
then in surrendering yourself to "a nirvana,
like indifference TO all things. .-Marianna
Mccain in New York Press.

Pbvsical Perfection In n voman.

The greatest and first essential TO phys
ical perfection in woman is figure with
out an angular line. Nature avoids angu-
lar lines everywhere, but in the human
figure especially. A perfectly formed wom-
an will stand at the average height of feet
3 inches to feet Z inches. She will weigh
from l25 to l40 pounds. a plumb line
dropped from point marked by the tip Of
her nose will touch ut point one inch in
front of her great toe. Her shoulders and
her hips will strike straight line drawn
up and down. Her waist will taper grad
ually to n size on line drawn from the
outer third OF the collar bone to the hips.
Her bust will measure from % To 90 inches.
Her hips will ,neasdre from q TO 10 inches
more than this, and her waist will call for
n belt from % 10 2S inches.
The arms of the perfectly formed woman
will end at tire waist line, so that she can
rest her elbow OH table while standing
erect, and her forearm should extend to a
point permitting the fingers to mark "a
point just below the middle of the thigh.
Her neck and thigh should be of about the
game circumference. The calf of her leg
and arm should measure about the same.
Her legs should be about as long rs line
drawn from her chin to her finger tips, or
about one-half her height, say from 2 feet
~ inches to 2 feet 81 inches. She should
measure from her waist to her feet about
foot more than from her waist to the crown
of her head. Her neck should be from IL
to II inches around, her head erect and on
a line with the central plane of her body,
and her feet should be of II size and shape
to conform with her hands.-New York Ad-

Hands and Finger Nails.

"How can / keep my hands whitei" la
ments the busy wife and mother. II have
dishes to wash, sweeping TO do, and a GER
tain amount OF cookery falls to my lot. /
must resign myself to being satisfied with
keeping my hands clean and try not to care
IL they are ugly"
Here she makes a mistake She may
have her hands pretty rs well as clean; but,
like everything else worth having in this
world, it will be at the cost OF a little time
and trouble.
In the first place. she should wear gloves
as much as possible-not tight ones that
will impede the freedom of her movements
and hinder her about her work, but loose
old pair. Let her put in claim for those
that have been cast aside by the men of the
house, and cutting off the tips of the fin
gers wear them when she is sweeping. dust
ing, cooking and washing dishes There is
no reason why she should plunge her whole
hand into u dishpan In search of stray
spoon when she can recover it by the aid of
a mop and soap shaker. The gloves will
save her hands from burns, from dust, from
CRIME.
When she washes them, she should use
only the best soap and have little almond
meal or br;.n in the water She should dry
them carefully and anoint them lightly
with such mixture as glycerin and rose
water, or glyccrin and bay rum, in equal
parts. IL her skin will not bear glycerin,
she may use frostilla or some similar prep
aration, or she may apply cold cream in
very small quantities, rubbing it well into
the skin. After this the hands should be
rinsed in soft water and dried gently and
thoroughly. Should the water be hard, a
little 5orax will soften ii. t.-Harper's Bazaar.

NOW FAT, HEALTHY BUY. sugar of milk, and with 1t is combined pure barley malt, the finest wheat gluten and the nutritious clements of the cat, and then, by thoroughly cooking the mixture by high steam heat, such changes are et- fected as are sufficient to make the food new substance, which ful6ls every physio- logical and chemical requirement. No sugar is used but the pure sugar Of milk, and this in proportion to most closely rep resent mothers milk. It is absolutely pure.
 Infants who are "run down" by the eff fects of hot weather at once begin to mend when fed with this food. Little ones who are nervous and fretful under the heat of the summer sun, and are with difficulty persuaded to take other food, eat lactated d food with evident relish.
 It is the food upon which hundreds of happy mothers have nourished their little ones. Says Mrs. H. E. Chapman of New ton Center, Mass. whose baby is shown above, in @ letter to the makers of this food:
 "I wish to tell you about our baby. We tried food at first that baby did not seem to like, as he always left half in his bottle. Finally he was taken very sick and the doctor advised us to use lactated food, which we did at once, and from that time until this he has cried for it every two hours, and although we always give him one and one-hslf cupfuls he has never left any in his bottle. He is now one year old and has grown to be such fat, healthy boy"
 Every mother should try lactated food Any druggist will sell for 25 cents pack age large enough to make piats of nou rishing food, and in large packages 1t ii even less expensive.

From the Start the Stock Market Was Weak-The Bears Hammered the List Without Oppos1tion-Spec- uIation Closed Steady.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The stock market was weak almost from start to finish to-day. The bears hammered the list throughout and met with little opposition. The heaviest declines were 51s in General Electric, in Chicago Cas- 2M in Lackawanna and E to per cent. in the remainder of the list. Unfavorable reports were circulated about the General Electric and Northern Pacific companies, and although these were denied the bears succeeded in bringing about a further decline Another rumor was that a receiver would be applied for the North American Co.
 Toward the close Lake Shore rallied easily from 1121s to 1144 and the remainder of the list was 1s to A from the lowest of the morning. Speculation closed somewhat steadier Railway bonds were weak. The sales were S7O4 900.
 Following are the closing prices, reported by PRINCE & WHITELY, bankers and brokers, 4 Broadway, N. r., and IS Center street, New Ha ven, Conn.
