Looks of Varied Kinds.


From the Philadelphia Times.

chopped meat without any potato in it.
Drink little fluid of any kind except
strong tea. Exercise a great deal with
out drinking and do not eat bread, but
ter, or candy. Lemonade, acid drinks
of all kinds. and saline mineral waters
are excellent Drink a glass Of clear
water before breakfast.

sleep after each meal. Go to bed at 8
O'Clock and lie in bed half an hour af-
ter you wake up. Laugh a great deal
Drink water by the pint or the quart II
you can. Drink weak and sweet tea
with plenty of milk in it. Take cod
liver oil and sweet oils as much as you
can. Eat until you feel as If you would
burst at the table. Put plenty of but
ter on your bread, and do not be afraid
of ales, layers, and sweet wines. This
will guarantee a gain Of five pounds a
month, and, if you can sleep u great
DEAL of double that amount.
To Have u White Skin.-Eat no meat
at ALL Become a vegetarian; they al
ways have beautiful skin. Once in six
weeks or so eat a meal of fresh meat.
This does away with the tendency to
scurvy-that curse of the vegetarian.
Drink as much water as you can, eat
little grease, and touch no tea or cof-
fee. Your breakfast may be oatmeal
and oranges; your dinner fruit, nuts,
fruit tea-preferably ounce tea-gra-
ham mullins, caulifiower Croquettes,
marmalade, and dishes of stewed vege-
tables. The diet is not so bad when
you get used to it. In large towns you
will find one or two restaurants cater
ing to such as you.

great deal, carrying something always
in the hands. This develops the arms.

meat, drink milk, and practice bending
backward, forward, and sideways
every day. At night rub about table

on the under and tender part of the
arms.
To Have Plumb Hands.-Rub them
with sweet oil night and morning Ex-
ercise them by rubbing together. Never
wear tight sleeves or snug gloves.
To Keep Ones Feet Small.-This is
difficult. The first sign that one has
passed youth is the tendency to wear a
larger pair of shoes-and this is neces-
sary. The feet spread and really
grow. To remedy this wear shoes as
long as can be managed, but not
as wide as seem necessary. Never
wear old slippers around the house, un-
less they are snug in the width, and
be careful of corns. These are never
necessary while the chiropodist exists.

face with the juice of preserved straw
berries in the winter and in summer
rub ripe berry on the face.
For Smooth, White Skin, Without
Dieting.-Bathe the face daily with
buttermilk. A preparation of tincture
of benzoin and rose water is excellent
for whitening purposes. There are
very good prepared creams, but these
are never cheap. Do not go under a
dollar for them if you want them COM
pounded of fine and pure materials.
To Have Ones Garments Sweet
Scented.-Make sachet bags and slip
them in the Innings of dresses They
will, If good at first, keep their scent
for year or more. Fold the bodices
of the scented gowns and lay them
away in air-tight boxes This fills
them with scent.
