les Anyone can DO it-anyons who
is well and strong and healthy"
Home the beauty patient goes, with
the old determination as big and
brisk as new
That night she plies the hair tonics
and the brush with the air cushion
and bristles- And the way she cod
dies those poor tresses OF hers Is
enough TO make them shrivel up and
grow gray from sheer surprise
The next night she keeps up the
good work
The third night she goes 20 bed
and weeps because her new gown
drags only three feet In the back
and forgets everything about groom
ing her crown OF glory.
Take the woman who longs for a
fine figure, stately carriage. q
graceful walk All these ambitions
are human possibilities. A little care
full regular hygiene An understand
ing of correct breathing. A strength
ening Of the muscles by exercise.
Regular bathing Simple. nourishing
diet. Gymnastic work if possible and
practicable.
Such a bother" she says.
May be. Perhaps But you want
that regal carriage and that stately
poise OF the head. don't you? Well.
III tell you right now that you'll new
er get it If you curl up in an uncom-
Portable coy corner, Ike a shrimp
on a lettuce leaf. and bend your
shoulders forward after the feeble
fashion of a consumptiye in the last
stages OF the disease.
And you won't be broad-chested and
OF splendid development il you double
up into a bowknot and read novels
until your head swims. The thing is
to keep the lungs healthy by air baths
-airings that call into play the mus
cles of the diaphram and which slim
plate the digestive organs.
Hold the body correctly-hips back,
chest up full, shoulders downward
and backward.
The girl whose bump of persever-
ance is as hollow as chopping bowl
perseyeres only when the fancy takes

She breathes correctly for five min
ute twice a week-and wonders why
her chest stays slumped-inl
Dear Dear
Throw your identifying ambitions
To the four winds of heaven unless
you know positively that you can be

can't keep your ambitions fresh
until you have succeeded in overcom-
ing your troubles. then don't waste
your time. You might better be play
ing with the baby next door or filling
your head full of good reading matter.
We are all creatures of habit from
the time when we are wailing in
fants, round of cheek and chubby of
chin, until we are grandmas. Why
not make the matter of correct liv-
ing subject of little consideration
and thought? It's easy to cease eat
ing chocolate almonds and to take to
baked apples. The baked apples will
cleanse your system of those poison
Gus materials that are making your
complexion unsightly-and the choco-
late almonds will only make the blem-
ishes a thousand times worse. To

frequent baths with good, firm bath

to cultivate feeling of self-respect
and innate refinement To be we'll
groomed, to always look your best, to
cultivate an interesting personality,
to take care of your health. to keep

of perseverance to which | have re-

After all. it is merely matter of
