sizes and forms are used in 1t.
Saving Is a simple all-round exercise that
brings every muscle more or less into play
If you can get your left knee up on the
board with no discomfort or difficulty, you
are wearing the proper kind of skirt. In
this. as in all carpentry, you must wear no
stays. You must be able to raise the knee
easily, making the stretch required, II you
are to bring the knee well forward on a
wide board. If the skirt strains. then 1t is
too close fitting Cor anybody except the

She is called upon to be only the observed
of all observers while she does not raise
finger to accomplish this function. You are
called upon to live and move and have
your being. and you want the freedom to
do it.
The arm is given splendid work in saw
ing. To be sure, the right arm is the one
that derives the most benefit in this as in
all the other tool work, unless you happen
to be left-handed. Then the case is re-
versed, but no better. If you happen to be
bidextrous, take advantage of the fact
and change about from left to right while
you are in your carpenter shop.
OF course, this one-sidedness is the
disadvantage of nearly all exercises that

Take, for instance, a simple lesson in
Strengthening the arms out at the sides and
raising them to the shoulders. 1t is directed
that. you use both arms together, putting
them through exactly the same motions
But IL you watch yourself carefully, you
will probably find that the right arm, the
stronger one, is going through the motion
with the expenditure of much more energy
than the left consequently 1t is deriving

because the right is stronger it must gain
even more strength in proportion. 1t Is all

more force into it's work.
Hammering is more an eye than a body
training for a woman in her light shop
work will seldom hammer anything that IS
really hard to drive but eye training need
not be excluded from physical culture.
Many gymnasium teachers make strong
point of the accuracy of sight trained by
gymnastic work.
The force in hammering must come from
the shoulder not from the arm. as 1t is In

work. That is why a man drives tack

The blow comes from the right place, the

over use of the complexion brush. Leave
the brush and massage alone if your face
is looking fiabby. You should battle it in
cold water every morning. dashing the wa

a week you may resort to the sort of face
bath that the southern bellies OF old days
knew the value of-cologne. But only the
purest imported article. 1t cleanses the
pores and at the same time gives the firm.
ness that you want. Never rub the face
hard. You say you are taking cold baths
for nervousness Is the reaction proper af-
ter them? That is. do you feel warm and
glowing after the shower and the rub? If
so. persist. If not, you are not strong
enough for the heroic treatment.
Blackheads are the result of improper
cleansing of the pores. Keep your diet
moderately light, eat plenty of fruit, take
plenty of exercise and wash the face every
night with hot water and CASTLE soap. Give
it cold dash in the morning.
