fectly healthy woman. )
 So oft n women come to me to see what I can do for their oomplexions, and say; New. l know it isn't my stomach, for I never suffer after eat ing" No. the stomach has not gotten to the hurting point yet, perhaps, for the digestive organs are s;rong, and it takes quite While to wear them put. Bad compleXions are caused, ninety nine tim,s s ,yut of a hundred, by dis ordered stomach, and no amount of cold CT ans or lemon washes is going tJ do any good until the stomach has been put into Q god condition. lady not long ago asked me if I could do something for her face. It was badly broken out. Shr said her doctor had been trying to fix it by blistering it. said: You blo2d is out of order; no application will do your face any good until We get at your stomach and fix that up. You are eating somethiaS that is not agreeing with you"
 "Oh, no, l am not" she replied. What do you rat?" "Oh. not much of anything. Just a cup Of coffee fer breakfast, and then several times dur ing the morning I get faint and take q cup of tea and a slice of bread. You see l am a dr-ssmaker, and I get so nervous and faint somstimes over my work. and I just have to have some thing to stimulate me-"
 Well. l could not do anything for that young lady. for she said she could not possibly eat any breakfast; that she only wanted coffee. and that the tea habit was so strong that she would rather have u bad complexion than 70 give 1t up.
 Mime. Qu Vive. who writes for the Chicago Tim,s Herald, says: "A lot of women who think they have troubles and who rail against fate, would be as happy as larks and as pretty us pie lures If they would cease eating hot dOughputs. pickles and salad dressings strong enough to pull terth,."
 was eating my luncheon at a down town lunChroom in Chicago one day q ordered tomato crean soup, entire wheat bread. tCaG,ed, and rasp- btrries). and 'wo pretty women sat down at my table. One bug..d her face In her hands and groansd: "Ch. have such head ache" After a while when the wait ress came. she reused up and said: "oh, dear, don't feel like eating a blessed mouthful." You must cat, Grace" said her companion. Well. let me see; what do I want (scrutlniz- ing card)? Oh, bring me cheese sand wich, a cup of coffee an1 piece of lemon cream pie" Maybe I was not saying "it is nlCs day inside of mo.
 A woman will hardly ever acknowl- edge that her h' aiache comes from her stomach being out of sorts. It is any thing but that. Oh, well, a3 the song g res, "Therell come time, soma day" And then she will wish that she had listened ro reason. About every other w,man I meet is troubled with lndi- gestion That causes headaches. pal pitatlon of the heart, dizzy SD lls. melancholia. "grouchiness. and oft times causes a woman to look anything but 3S.ractive. and vt. when they are told to eat wholesome food. to give up certain things that they know are harming them. th-y say: "Oh, l can not do that" And so l. goes. Women want to be well and strong, but the av- craze woman has not the will power to 'at simply and avoid the gay and festive preparations that are slowly but surely undermining her ccnstltu- tion.
 I know 1t is hard for people in a boarding house to follow diet. but out of all that is set before one, surely a few healthful things can be selected, and a few things are better than a good many, anyway. Too great a vari- ety Is bad.
 If your landlady gives you han and eggs three times day. with roast pork and apple sauce (apple sauce is good) on Sunday. change your boarding plnCr.
 Any klnd-heartei land'ady will buy entire wheat bread If you ask her to- anl you can leave pie and cak', tea and coffee alone, and make up on mea, eggs. fruit and vegetables
 Buy fruit and keep it in your room Eat an orange when you first wake up in the morning. If you can take the juice of 1t in hot water. SO much the better. As I said before, that warm drink the first thing In the morning is onh of the leading things on my health list.
 Please bear in mind that it is injuri- ous to eat between meals So many people are in the habit of doing it-for- ever munching, The stomach needs rest, just as WI do. It cannot work all the time and amount to anything. Hhree meals a day are ample.
 If you are a victim to the habit of eating three meals day. pull up for a while and see how much better you will feel. Eating candy between meals is one of the worst things know of: eating candy at any time is bad. Il know yoI tn nk am cranky. All rig |. perhaps I am. but am well, and eIat Is because I trnat my stomach with great respect. Can anyone doubt the perfect health of woman who can ride forty miles on horseback in a day, and then go to party and dance twenty-one danes in tha evening? And 1t is what she eats that keeps her blood clean. and the exercise that she takes keeps the blood in gooI circula- ton, and that is such an important part in onr's hearh. And th-n she sleeps frcm eight to ten hours every
