The girl who let's go is the one who

| every joint is supple; even her muscles
| have timber feeling as though they
! would be capable of a great deal of
strain. The girl who can let go, as it
is called in gymnastic circles. is also
the one who can perform her feats of
strength without fear for, having no
nerves. she is not timid
TO let GO stand upright in your
gymnasium suit. and, when you have
gained control of your nerves and mus
cles so that you can relax them sue
cessfully, throw yourself forward and
land upon your hands. This is an ex-
celent exercise for any woman, this
standing upon her feet and her hands
all at the same time, and one that cam
not injure the mechanism of the body
STANDING ON THE HANDS
Perhaps after you have tried this YOU
will say that it is easier said than done
To stand upon the hands is not
thing that every woman can do the first
time she tries, for her back will feel as
though it were breaking the minute she
stoops forward far enough to let her
hands touch the floor
But if she will take a chair and rest
one knee upon it, perhaps it will not be
so difficult, for she will then have the
support of the chair as well as that of
her own muscles.
A shopping headache or a nervous
headache afflicts women who use the
m oh &c
especially noticeable and acute Few
women can go upon a shopping expedi-
ton and arrive home in perfect condi-
ton. and many sufferers from shopping
headache are laid up for the rest of the
day.
The strain is a nervous one and comes
from threefold cause.-the strain upon
the brain, the strain upon the eyes. and
the strain upon the body. All three
unite to PROSTATE the shopper
To quiet a headache of this kind the
sufferer should loosen her clothing,
battle her eyes and face in hot water
or cold water. whichever is the moro
agreeable. and go to bed for awhile II
she does not want to do this she can |
take little light gymnastic work
Exercise with the arms until there is |
d feeling of rested nerves across the !
chest and body. Really. it is the brain |
and the optic nerve that tire rather |
than the muscles of the arms and chest |
and this exercise will force one to
breathe deeply and so it will bring re-
pose of the nerves when nothing else
will do the work.
And repose of the nerves is what is
wanted. The nerves must be quieted.
When the stomach manifests cray
ing for food it means that food must
be given to it, and when the nerves
witch and show that they need exer-
Use it shows that exercise must be
given to them.
For the woman whose head is con-
;tantly moving about, who jerks in her
hair, who continually moves the posi-
ion of her knees there is an exercise
Which will help her. and this consists of
throwing back the head as far as pos
ible. 1t opens the chest and rests the
back, thus giving exercise to the mus
les of the front of the body
No matter what you do, remember
hat the main object is to rid yourself
# nerves, and that the popular girl
will never be. a nervous girl. Do not
orget that the mind eXerts a great ,ieal
f influence over the body, and that
our cure must be a mental one as we'll
S a physical one.
