BEAUTY OF A GOOD CHEST
AND WELL DEVELOPED BUST

AND WELL DEVELOPED BUST
(Marion Martineau in Chicago Tribune)
The beauty of good chest and Of a
well developed bust is something that
admits of no argument. A woman who
is well balanced as to her chest walks
better, looks better. feels better, and
enjoys better health than the one who
is slabsided.
The filling out of the chest depends
largely upon the manner of standing.
Many women would be full in the bust
if they were to stand straight. They
have acquired the habit of bending for
ward. This is frequently the result of
Indigestion. The stomach feels uneasy
and to make it more comfortable the
woman bends forward still more, thus
easing the folds a little
For the stomach does lie in folds and
it can be easily compressed and easily
squeezed out of shape until it cannot
perform its natural functions. The re-
suit is indigestion and stopping posi-
ton and a ruination of the figure.
Nearly all dyspeptics. men and wo-
men, stoop as they walk and most of
them lob forward as they sit 1t gives
them exquisite pain to bend backward.
The stomach is too weak to permit them
to do this
Good Digestion the First Step.
Strange as it may seem, the first step
toward a full bust is a good digestion.
Get the stomach so that you can stand
straight and even bend backward and
You will have accomplished a great
deal
Second. accustum the shoulders to the
backward bend. If necessary, train
them to be hollow Train them to bend
backward instead of forward. Always
stand straight, always sit straight. Do
not lop forward in an easy chair and
soon the habit of sitting and standing
straight Will grow on you.
There are a few shoulder exercises
which you might try. They will
straighten the back and the shoulders
and will help widen the chest
The first one rs the stretching move
ment. Stretch we'll end thoroughly
then stretch over again; go through
with the stretching until you are thor
oughly loosened up as to the muscles.
In the dramatic schools they compel
The pupils to stretch and also to cape,
They must open the mouth wide and
cape and stretch, going through with
the motion many times This makes
the face and the mouth timber and gets
the pupil ready for the days work of
talking and acting
One can stretch lying down or stand
ing, but it is best for the shoulders to
stand. Stand and throw the arms back
of the head and stretch we'll. After she
has exercised her back and shoulders
in this way a woman will find it hard to
sit in a slumping attitude, and she will. |
without effort, square her shoulders and
hold herself erect
Diet has a great deal to do with the |
development of the chest The woman |
who lives on meat is much less apt to !
have a fine chest development than the |
one whose diet is of a more starchy or
der. The sauces that are served with |
meats, the gravies, the dressings, even |
the mayonnaise' which is so trying TO |
some digestions all of these are potent !
factors in the development of the chest.
Eat What Agrees With You.
Eat what you like and all you want
OF 1t is good rule for those who want
TO develop the bust and get stout across
the chest and full in the shoulders.
MIX, if ii agrees with you, is good. and
chocolate is thousand times better.
The breakfast foods are good, if one
likes them and can assimilate them.
But the patient must experiment until
"A
do not agree with all persons.
Eating fruit is good for the person
of poor digestion and for the woman
with narrow chest. But she must NOT
eat 1t before meals in sufficient uuanti-
ues 10 take away her appetite MANY
delicately constructed persons can eat
no breakfast after they have taken
fruit and these people should not try
TO eat fruit before their meals.
sleeping great zeal develops the
llgure' while II quiets the nerves, and it
Is as good tonic as one could desire.
But, IN the lesson of the DEVELOPMENT
of the figure, deep breathing is the first
hlng TO be learned and the last thing
10 be forgotten, Unless you can breathe
deeply and hold your breath a long time
You cannot hope to attain perfection of
lug development
Deep breathing consists of ia king air.

urinary process of breathing, but done
az al extraordinary manner. You must
learn to completely empty the limos
and you must learn to fill them to their

OF only half using the lungs. while i'm ]
