by tomorrow expect Nature to have sup
piled the desired avoirdupois than the
fat woman who puffs and blows at ex-
ercise cam expect ITO seduce her weight
with a single bicycle ride.
Thinness, like fat, is constitutional
with certain people, but in that event
not wholly unamenable. Natures sure
FESTIVE, balmy sleep, is one of the frs,
and most potent remedies for the maady
in question. The thin woman should
strive to get all the sleep possible, not
| less than nine hours each night begin
| ming as early as 10 o'clock, and am af-
| ternoon siesta as regularly as breakfast.
| A half-hour nap in the daytime is suf-
ficient, if taken under proper conditions.
| Remove corset, shoes and collar, while
mapping. This is valuable suggestion
| for everyone who lies down for "a rest.
A change of clothing, taken off for a
| time, what one wears the day through,
will refresh quite as much as sleep.
"A tonic for thin people is the cold
bath. This should not be tried at once
| if one is unaccustomed to the chill of
cold water. In the morning, if the cold
plunge is too severe, take a sponge bath
| in water at a moderate temperature,
| decreasing day by day until you can
stand the shock which afterward brings
the glow to the cheeks and a tinge to
the blood. Dash cold water upon the
face and neck and rub vigorously with a
Turkish towel
A thin woman should not wear heavy
night clothing, like ponderous skirts and
| cumbersome wraps.

equal, provided it is moderately INDUCED

pedaling before she is weary Take sew

run. Tight cloi hing must be eschewed
Before going to bed a glass of milk

| healthful. In cases of excessive lean

three. Chocolate is good health pro-

Thin persons must above all eat slow

after eating. Soups. vegetables, beams,
rice and fish should be the chief of rheir
diet. Nothing is more beneficial than
| much open air exercise.
