When and How.

A physician remarks, apropos of the
question Of exercise for women, that
exercise may be taken under condi-
tions that will defeat its best effects,
as, for instance, just after a hearty
meal or when one is in tremendous
hurry. To rush about in the open
air from one appointment to another,
while II certainly is exercise in the
sense that it uses some Of the muscles
does not produce the benefcent results
that brisk walk devoid Of any sense
of haste or nervous pressure would
have. To rise from the table and
skurry for train may technically
come under the head OF exercise and
in the open air. but 1t is not such pro-
perly. IL is impossible to digest food,
exercise and attend to business all at
the same time. and the nervous waste
entailed in trying to do it quite de-
stroys the good that should have been
derived from the ercise.-Pittsburg
