after all. A normal condition is what
is being sought. Exercise wears away

where 1t is insufficient, the daily light
exercises causing better circulation and
thereby better food assimilation make
for flesh rather than otherwise The
following eight exercises are light and
effective, and would probably not be too
violent for anyone:
L. In the correct standing position
raise lightly upon the toes, then down
again. Repeat and repeat. This COM
paratively simple exercise gives poise
and equilibrium, resulting in a good car
riage
II In position. move the body 50 as to
describe as large an imaginary circle as
possible without losing balance. This is
also for poise
III In position, raise the arms up to
their fullest extent then, slowly lower
floor. The knees must remain unyield-
ing, even though the floor is not reach
ed within many inches This exercise
should not be repeated often when first
adopted as it is a little severe.
IN. Roll head Imply upon the breast
and shoulders from right to left and re-
verse, until a good circulation is ac-
Quired in the neck and chin.
". With the hands upon the hips, bend
the body forward from the hips and
round in circular movement from
right OF left and reverse. This exercise
has been known to cure some cases of
indigestion.
VI. From a position fat upon the
floor; raise both legs so as to make a
right angle of the body, then lower the
legs slowly to the floor. It is very inn
p0rtaHt to do this very slowly, as will
be seen by those who try it,

the body in a sitting position, then slow

the exercise, which is one for the hips

These exercises should always be taken
in a well ventilated room and in a loose

The Care of Flowers.
A woman who knows all about flowers
and their care has compiled the follow
ing rules for keeping cut flowers.
The ends of the stems of all flowers
should be cut off before they are placed
in water. It is better to strip the leaves
from that part of the stem which viii

Do not allow the ends of the stems to

Change the water each day. and at the
same time again cut the ends of the
flower stems.
DO not place flowers near, or under
lights-gas or lamp-when lit can be
avoided.

up in moistened paper, and on ice, or
with the stems in water, in q cool place
until ready for use. In this way it viii

Many flowers do more satisfactorily if

the stems have become filed. and are
then allowed to stand in an ice chest, or
