THE ART OF KEEPING YOUNG.

Don't Worry One Of the Most Impor-
81. tant Rules. !.
There's no trouble at all about keep
ing young if you know what to do.
Sarah Bernhard says that she has kept
her youth by the aid Of hot water and
soap. ...ta..
when I am tired / take hot bath, =
she says. when am nervous take
a hot bath and massage. When I am
depressed nothing exhilarates me and
puts me In form SO soon as hot bath.
Every night when am playing, as
well as when am at leisure, I take a
hot scrub before going to bed. Yes, I
scrub my face with soap and hot water
twice. and sometimes three times in the
tweDty-four hours.
There is no beautifier like soap and
water, and no preservative against ill
ness, nerves and age that compares
with hot water MI
Clara Barton keeps young by not put
tering. :s..
~ don't putter," she says; that's
what ages women-puttering.
when I'm not working I either rest
or play. When I see a woman breaking
down with nervous prostration I Won
der when women will learn to stop put
tering.
"sleep is a great thing for women.
Half the women don't sleep long
enough. I'VE cultivated the accomplish
ment Of mapping. / shut my eyes and
go to sleep whenever there's "a lull in
my work. il.
"It isn't the work that wears women
outfits fretting and puttering. Here's
the way to keep young: Stop worrying
and go to work."
"Indulging in fit of ugly temper not
only shortens woman's life, but makes
her old and ugly before her time" says
Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller, the apostle
of dress reform. Control your temper,
for every time you allow 1t to- control
you you spoil your good looks and in
jure yourself physically.
~sNot only that, but the woman who
governs her temper is the woman who
wins in this life; and, as a rule, she
makes the best match, because men
like sweet-tempered wives. Then, an
ger curdles the blood, binders circula-
tion and consequently makes the COM
plexion bad and du1ls the eye"
One woman who Is beautiful, though
sixty, gives her recipe for retaining
youth as: "Have great patience with
fools" Worrying or being annoyed by
the foolishness of others only makes
unnecessary lines on brow and cheeks.
Here are a few rules for the guidance
of the woman who would be beautiful
at sixty or eighty, with fresh COM
plexion-not one of parchment-and
bright eyes and mental faculties active:
Sleep eight hours during the twenty
four. Don't drink hard water. That
Iong-lived race of people, the Chinese,
drink only rain water, if they can pos.
sibly obtain it.
Avoid food that contains lime. Every
article of food contains lime, but, Of
course, there are some that are freer
from lime than others. Onions are ad-
mirable youth preservers; SO are fish,
rice and eggs.
Eat fruit of all varieties. Fruit con-
tains a large amount of acid, and this
neutralizes the effect of those elements
which make old age creep fast upon us.
Not long ago a German discovered
that all you had to do to live forever
and be beautiful forever was to eat a
sufficiency of lemons. There was only
one objection to the plan, but that was
fatal. You had to eat daily one lemon
for each seven years Of your age.
