Age-Description Of the Trestment-A
Professional Besuty's Confession.
CLAIMING is the latest occupation of
women who devote themselves to the pur-
suit Of health and beauty. Glame Is a raw
word which represents the chief object OF
these disciples of physical culture. Those
who seek 1t are said to be CLAIMING and are
dsnominated glamera
Not only are many maids and matrons
OF fashionable society occupied In CLAIMING,
but at least one professional beauty has
reeorted to the process to helghten and pre-
serve her charms
Alexandra Martens, the professional
beauty, confessed to q reporter that she
had for some months been trying the prin-
eiples of claiming on her own person, and
obtained the most pleasing results from
them Daily she takes copious drafts OF
milk fresh from the cow at a temperature
of 9S degrees She also reposes In fresh air
and sunshine at regular intervals. The
treatment she follows is described In de-
tail hereafter.
Nine Martens has appeared as noted
beauty in all the capitals OF Europe, ana
received first prize in every contest she en-
tered. The car and the Prince OF Wales
are said to have declared that she was first
among stage beauties
She is a woman of splendid figure, but
her face is her principal charm. Her skin
As smooth and soft and very fine. Her eyes
are bright and dark brown and have much
expression. She bears a strong resem blance
to Mrs. Langtry at her best. For the pres
eryation of all these charms Nine. Martens
declares that claiming Is doing much.
What is glamingp According to high
authority the nearest word In the English
language to represent glame Is vitality.
Yet glame Is not the same as vitality.
Chemicals have vitality, but no glame.
The chemist can take the four elements Of
blood and preserve them, but they are not
blood Ho can collect from other sources
all these four elements and put them to-
gether, but he cannot make them live.
How is it that the exact parts will not pro-
duce their originalp They lived Some
thing called the spark of life imbued tho
combination with vital force 1t was i'm
pulse This impulse was glame. Organic
vitality is originated, directed and con-
trolled by glame, and when this is gone
Life becomes at once prey to dissolution.
The food substance which contains glame
In the most efficient form is milk, fresh
from the COW, mt temperature of 90 de-
grees AS soon as this falls nearly all OF
the glame yanishes. II you should look
into dairies In the neighborhood Of New
York these days, you would catch
glimpse of beautiful glamers busily en-
gagged in CLAIMING
Some of the essential rules of claiming
may be briefly stated for the benefit of in
quirers. They are:
To drink milk fresh from the COW at
OF % degrees.
To initiate tho lungs at regular intervals,
close the eyes and let the mind dwell on
one Of the pleasantest prospects I'm life.
To repose at regular periods during the
day In air which has recently been in mo-
ton and on which the sun has shone.
To have tho skin kneaded daily with
sweet oil
CLAIMING, IL Is claimed, retards indefl-
nitely wrinkles, gray hair and all the other
signs Of old age, beauties the complexion,
gives the eye wonderful powers of fascina-
ton, keeps the figure youthful and elastic
and preserves the powers Of the mind.
The aim of the glamer's diet is to pre-
vent the ossification produced by the de-
posit of calcareous or mineral matter in the
heart, brain and arteries This deposit Is
the cause Of old age. Physiologcally one
may become old at 80 as we'll as at 60.
The skin hardens, wrinkles and gets old,
the hair is killed and the blood docs not
circulate freely. The brain turns to bony
substance I'm intricate parts and thinking
becomes difficult.
To guard against this ossiflcation It Is
necessary to prevent or dissolve the osseous
deposits. One or two pints Of distilled
water daily are of great benefit. The diet
should include apples, pears, grapes, orange
juice, cherries, plums, peaches and ber-
ries.
As animal food fish, poultry and young
mutton are recommended, because they
contain less earthly salts than other meats.
Phosphorus Is necessary for the nourish-
ment of the brain, and this Is to be found
In lean meats, fish, cheese, whole wheat,
oatmeal, almond nuts, white cornmeal,
beans, peas, figs and prunes.
The glamer seeks by diet to increase and
strengthen the glame that Is In her or
him, and by exercise to draw In the pre-
cious fluid from natural sources, the chief
of which is the sun.
Glame Is the most mysterious Of all
principles and appears In many forms Of
life. The soil creates II, and man creates
Il by the functions of life mhe value of
glame may be realized when 1t is under
stood that 1t imparts buoyant feeling,
identical with the vigor Of youth, into the
nature Of even an old person.
Some physicians say that II q person Is
standing In a slaughter house near cattle
at the time when life Is passing from the
animals some portion Of the vital princi-
pie OF life enters the person. This Is glame.
As glame In the system becomes more
abundant the pulse will become flrmer, the
skin take on a healthier hue, the eye grow
