So long as these canals are in healthy

the brain, like the engineer of a battleship

things so.
Il cannot believe In clubs for women
who have families to care for" said wo-
man on a hotel piazza this summer. TO
New Nork correspondent. Il know in my
own case when I belonged to a club my lit
tie SRI was neglected, though l did not
realize it at the time. II was a weekly
club. whose meetings I always attended
and ! did not think much about it until
one day my little daughter exclaimed, with
a lonesome note in her voice:
1T seems to me YOU are never In the
house when / come home from school
now, mamma.

have not belonged to one since where l
would have TO neglect my home. / ike

when l SO with MIN 1 always see my lit
tie daughter safely in bed before l leave
her.
1T is not alone my own experience
which has made me afraid of devoting too
much time TO clubs. l know what is hap

place which l visited this summer. This
woman has no servant. and when she Is

The one thing woman usually wishes
| to do when she goes away from home
| in the summer, says the New York Times,
is to gain flesh and plumpness enough
| for pretty arms and neck. Here is a good
receipt that a woman who was down on
! Cape Cod this summer learned from a
man The man, however, had no idea of
teaching such a lesson. He was a big fell
low from the city whose flesh was piing
up to such an extent that 1t was becoming
annoying, and he had made up his mind
that during his two weeks vacation he
| would reduce in weight even though IL
| took heroic methods. It Is strange, but
| heroic measures appeal to people stronger
| than quiet, common-sense methods of life.
The heavy man began his treatment as
soon as he reached the cape. He was up
| early in the morning, donned his bathing
| suit, and took a long run on the beach,
| until he was dripping with perspiratlon.

Talk about training" said the stout

There was real curiosity among those
around and they gathered about th'

scales triumphantly, you all know wha
