More Exercise.

All exercise is good. even II some
kinds OF exercise are better than
others Walking is the top notch in
the list, and it has the IrestInabIe
advantage of being within the reach
Of all, exceut severely crippled men
and women We are not sensible in
this matter at all. for we walk long
distances without purpose and take a
car to our daily work.
Do you ever reflect upon the patron
age Of tramways? They are not sup
ported by the wen-to-do. but chiefly
by the working class. and men and
women who would be better of for
the walk which would take them to
and from business, or q, least one
way. The rich men and women are
doing the walking for the sake Of
health and beauty, and are setting
one of the few examples We might
follow with profit.

health and comfort.
The first thing is to dispense with
the pillow. IF this change cannot be
accomplished all at once. then let your
pillow gradually be made smaller and
smaller until none at all is desired,
Your sleep will be much better. and
after the habit is once formed a pillow
Is looked upon with derision
If your sleep is restless and you
waken with dull headache and the
feeling Of WEAKNESS that makes you
want to begin the night over again
so as T. get refreshed. you may be
sure that something is wrong,
Heavy bedding is also distressing
and as good a source for nightmare as
deviled crabs or plum pudding. Light
blankets make the best covering.
Let the windows be open at tor and
bottom, so as to have perfect ventila-
ton. Don't eat an indigestible supper
before retiring; this Is the greatest
of all beauty foIlies.

Ten Health Rules

l. Don't leave your rooms in the
morning with an empty stomach.
2. Never expose yourself to cold air
Immediately after you have partaken
Of warm liquid of any kind.
3. Don't leave your warm abode in
cold weather without warm wraps
around your shoulders and breast.
4. Begin respiration in the cold by
breathing through the nose. This viii

before reaching the lungs.
5. Never place your back near a
heated oven, nor against a wall, warm
or cold
6. Don't stand before an open win
dow or take a drive in an open car
rage after violent exercise.
I, Don't remain motionIess in a cold
room. and do not stand in an open
space on ice or snow.
S. Talk only when you must. for the
old phrase, speech is silver, silence
is golden" holds good even in hygi-
ere.
8. Don't put off your regular bath.
When the skin is not kept fresh and
soft, the cold draws the pores to
gether and you are rendered susceptI-
BILE to pulmonary troubles Of all kinds
TO- Don't retire with cold or wet
feet Nothing prevents sleep with
so much certainty as the neglect Of
your pedal extremities.

Hoe 10 Reduce FLESH

Obesity may be successfully treat
ed by a fruit dietary. This is due not
to The fact that fruit is a natural
food and thus aids the system TO es-
tabIish normal tissue metamorphosis
and a normal balance between the
processes OF. assimilation and dissimi-
lation, but also because IT affords a
very. comfortable means of reducing
the amount Of nutrient material re
ceived to a minimum quantity,
Fruit is chiefly water, the amount
Of nutrient material it contains vary
ing from . 10 s or 10 per cent. in most
fruits. rising 10 a high figure only in
dried fruits. such as cried grapes,
prunee. dates. etc. The writer has
succeeded in reducing excessive
weight in the most satisfactory man
uer By prescribing diet consisting
almost exclusively of grapes or APP
pies, allowing only q small bit Of
thoroughly dried bread in connection
with the fruit. In some cases the
fruit may be allowed as often as three
OF four times a day, if necessary to
relieve an uncomfortable sensation of
emptiness.
In fevers. fruits, especially in the
form Of fruit juices, are a most
convenient and certainly the most
OF all foods, It IS now
almost universally recognized that
beef tea and meat prepara-
tons of all sorts should be
wholly prescribed in cases of fever,
as the patient is already suffering
from the accumulation Of waste mat

ton Of even the small amount con
tanned in beef tea or a small piece of
meat may be sufficient to give rise to
an ezacerbation of the disease and

Enjoying Childhood

She was a woman whose sympathy
and enthusiasm drew girls to her
wherever she went. It was from one
of these girls that the letter had just
come She laid It on her desk, with a
little sigh.
If only girls wouldn't keep pulling
themselves up by the roots." she ex-
claimed.
You mean the morbid ones?" her
companion asked.
= mean often the most conscien-
ti0Cs and sweetest ones" was the
quick response,
But you're Fight-it is morbid. They
weigh and worry over every little
trife till they lose all sense of pro-
portion and power OF judgment.
Here's one child who seems TO think
that it is positively wrong to enjoy
things as she calls them, the non
sense and the gay times and pretty
gifts that make so large a part of
the happy girl life.
She thinks that she ought to care
for nothing but faith and hope and
love! As if God didn't give a girl her
happy things as much as He gives
the trees sunshine! If only she'd take
them and be glad, and let her glad
ness make her strong and joy-giving
to others! She has no idea that she
is selfish, but it's the most subtle form
of Observation-Disclosures If only she
would let herself go. and think Of God
and other people instead, she would
have no time to worry over her faults
and faiIinss."
God and other people! 1t is the
secret Of all the rich and radiant lives
To get from God gIadness, strength,
love: to pass it on to others-the soul

to waste in worry over itself. VIII

The Bath Proper

So 1t appears that we in civilization
need currying as well as ablution. We
need for a little while at least to have
the skin in contact with sunlight and
moving air, to have it brace itself to
shocks Of cold. to get vigorous exer-
ctses looking toward restored blood
ciTculation-this by some sort Of rub
bling OF friCtt0n-and incidentally we
want to entirely remove such accumu-
lated eXcretons as are in and on it.
We say IN; for a good deal is
thrown out by the civilized skin. It
has to be literally scrubbed out-as if
the skin were a piece Of soiIed linen.
With some persons heat is Of con-
siderable aid, and the Turkish bath
accompIishes what nothing else does.
There are often stout sedentary per
sons. for whom exercise to the point
of full perspIration is not easy. But
plenty of US can do perfectly with
warm or cool water.
The Turkish bath does not, in fact.

but do well on oil baths. or Just sun
and air, along with vigorous rubbing
with the flesh brush, followed by
downward stroking with the palms
of the hand. The skin is a compound
organ. The whole Of it more than
equals in bulk the liver. It's neeqs
are correspondingly compound, and
so, too, are the objects of a bath.
Just how much and what sort of
ar0using is best for them varies i'm
menseIy with persons. and hence the
kinds Of baths and the amounts of
each vary correspondingly in getting
best results Thirdly, the skin is a
dumping ground, covered in by civil
lied usage and calling for a special
cleaning up-for most of us by warm
water and soap, for a few by oil or
Cd and ammonia, and for still fewer
by brush, ali ana sun.

The Hiding Craze,

The walking mania has given place to the craze for hiding oneself or ones possessions and challenging the world to find either one or the other, says the London Tatler. The mystery of the missing lady has raised the question whether it is possible to conceal oneself in London effectualIy. There are at least a score of criminals hiding in London at the present instant whose appearance, habits and usual haunts are we'll known to the police, and yet they remain undiscovered.

 "Who shot Gorski?'
 ''I shot him, and Roeski helped"
 In answer to other questions about robberies of saloons Van Dine general ly replied, T and Roeski did it."
 ''We were planning some big rob- heries here." said Van Dine. "and wa would have got away with lot or money soon but for Marks 'squea1ing' on us. I'd like to get him and put him where Driscoll is.'
