A Graceful CARRIAGE,

A graceful carriage is as necessary
to S0od health as to good looks. Ger
tains exercises will DO much for the
woman who hasn't always cultivated
the habit Of standing and walking
correctly, says the Brooklyn Times.
A great aid in the development of a
good position is to raise the crown
OF the head as high as possible and
then try to make the chest meet the
chin. This will make a graceful car
riage, smaller stomach, fuller chest
and more lung power To reach
either above the head as far as pos.
sible or TO the floor without bending
the knees will decrease the size OF
the waist and round it: also fill in the
hollow in front of the arms.

Catarrh and Colds,

A person suffering from any catarrh,
whether of the head or chest, should
sleep alone and if possible without
another room occupant. Towels, soap,
etc, used by the patient should not be

should take" his breath and kissing
