Not only the stately minuet, but the

girls become most proficient in them,

an abandon and grace which would do
credit to professional dancers 1t is I'M
necessary to say that the girls love
this part of the work and take to all of
it as a duck to water.

The Washington times., 1905-01-02

If the women Of the future don't pos
sess splendid carriage, 1t won't be the
fault of the public schools of the pres
ent day, for instead of series of mere
perfunctory physical exercise. such as
formerly occupied school girls, now the
work all has definite trend. 1t all aims
te secure a correct poise and good car
riage.
1t was only when the necessity of cor
seetive measure became apparent that
the scope or the work was changed and
instead of a hit-or-miss method OF ply
steal training, the work was planned
along a definite line. Nine out of every
ten girls entered school with some visi-
hle defect of carriage. They were stoop
snouIdered, had more or less noticeable
evidences of curvature, dropped their
head or let their chests cave in While
walking, and altogether pre- ented any
but .an attractive appearance
Hold Themselves Well.
Now, you wouldn't know the girls who
have had this corrective work. They
hold themselves erect, look as If they
possessed UNNECESSARILY more self-re-
spect, and are better in every way. Par
ticularly is the effect noticeable in the
Girls Technical High School, where the
training was first introduced by Prof.
William MeAndrew. Many of the girls
there are pretty, but even If they are
not they have pretty manners and an
easy, graceful carriage, without a trace
of self-consciousness
The work is divided into two branches,
one, the development and corrective ex-
efcises, and the other including what
Miss Sadie Sandman. the teacher of the
Annex School, in East Fifty-second
Street terms the '.esthetic' movements
which make for ease and grace. Among
the most important exercises to obtain
a good csarria ge are those called the
trunk movements which include high
stretching, high stepping. bending at the
waist line, all tG command. This
strengthens the abdominal muscles,
gives greater chest expansion and makes
the body supple.
One of the most important of these Is
that in which the pupil bends at the
waist line, meanwhile holding arms high
cutstretci1ed over her head. This has q
wonderful effect in fiattening round
shoulders and obtaining symmetry OF
| proportion. 1t also helps in gaining con-
troll of all the muscles.
Girls with weak backs should practiee

One of the best known of these rem.

been accepted by the people as stan
dard preparation for the cure of those
ailments to which women alone are
subject and which has proved to be a
certain cure in nine cases out of ten
and a sure relief in the other one.
There is nothing to conceal about
the Favorite Prescription. 1t is an alb
solutely pure medicine-made of roots
and herbs. Natures own restoratives.
Dr. Pierce is perfectly willing to let
every one know that his Favorite Pre-
scription contains Blue Cohosh (Caulo-
phyllum Thalictroides), Black Cohosh
(Cimicifuga Racemosa), lady's Slip
per (Cyprpedium Pubescens) and
Golden Seal (Hydrastis Canadensis).
Every doctor knows that such pre-
scription is beneficial in the diseases
Of women and when properly COM
pounded is certain to effect cure in
practically all cases when given a fair
trial. Hereafter every bottle of the
Favorite Prescription will plainly tell
of what the medicine is composed.
Thus Dr. Pierce will once more prove
TO the world his own confidence in the
remedy which for forty years has
borne his name and which Is known all
over the world as sovereign cure for
those diseases which. unchecked, make
our women old before their time.
There is no alcohol in the Favorite
