the digestive and asSimlativc processes otthc
stomach and its allied organs are impaired.
that means the impairment of every organ of
the body which must suffer from diminished
sustcnancc.
1t is a remarkable fact that people triflc
with the stomach as with no other physical
organ. They let it grow "'W eak, know that
it's functions are failing: and will do LITTLE or

And still they neglect stomach trouble which
is probably the cause of tilc disorder of other

Beauty Measured In The Eyes.

In perfect face every feature should
bear certain fixed proportion to every
other feature. Take, for example, the re-
lation between the width of the eyes and
the width of the face
The width of the face should be equal
to five eyes. The distance between the
eyes should be exactly equal to one eye.
Another important relation is that be-
tween the eyes and the mouth. The
width of the eyes should be equal to two
thirds that of the mouth
The nose should be equal in length to
the height of the forehead, of a regular
shape and precisely defined outlined. The
forehead should be equal i'll height to the
length of the nose and of that part OF
the face below it.
Foreheads arc high or low, round or
square, fiat or convex. A smooth,
rounded, slightly convex forehead is the
most beautiful, but the higher, and fuller
it is, all other things being equal, the
greater the capacity and strength of the
mind.
The ancicnts admired a low forehead in
a woman. a large, broad forehead gives
a woman a masculine and defiant look
The ideal head rounds out above the
cars, globc-likc; its size should he an
eighth part of the height of the whole
figure. The height and width of wo,
mans head should be one inch less than
