The "Get- Thin-Quick" Rules.

After the physical culture expert had
given this titled American woman these
rules, he went away and left her to
work out her own salvation. But he
cises which she was to practice every
day. They were called the "Get-thin-
quick rules And they are highly rec
commended to every woman who wants
to get thin quick.
They are physical culture exercises
for two. For, though they could be
practiced by one person alone, they are
much better with two working at
them. Like President Roosevelt s
wrestling matches, they are made
much more interesting if two work at
them than though one alone were do
ing all the wrestling.
If you want to get a small waist and
know anybody else who wants to dc
likewise, there is no reason why yOu
should not take the exercises which the
titled American in distress took. She
found another titled American to joir
her. Both ladies were unable to weal
their gowns because they were toe
tight. And both were reducing in tkt
hope of being able TO put them or
| again. "One capped an inch and the
other capped an inch and half ac-
cording to their own pathetic story.

not drink a drop of water. They grew
thirsty, but were Obliged TO take it out
in oranges and other tart fruits
Their limbering up exercise was q,
Scottish hippety-hop sketch. They put
on loose waists and short skirts and
hippety-hopped across the floor. They
hoped first On ona foot and then on
the other, following the step which chill
dren take in the street. It is a real
pleasure to hippety-hop if you have the
space for the exercise. The game is to
throw back the shoulders. throw out
the chest, put your hands upon your
hips, and hippety-hop around the room.
Children find a great deal of physical
pleasure in this exercise. and grown
poole will also. They will find actual
recreation in the limbering up of the
muscles. Take five minutes for the ex-
ercise and keep at it until you get out
of breath. Five minutes will be about
enough 20 get you in good physical
trim for your other exercises.

ly followed the physical culture rules
which were given TO them to follow.

New York ever had. And there Is eIro

Don't exercise one day and lay off

be any good must be regular
The same with dieting. You can
not go without food one day and eat
the next. You must eat about the
same amount every day. if you want
to control your weight.
Don't try absolute fasts.'
These little printed slips are given
to all who want 30 become physical
culturists, and they are to be pasted
up and read every day.
The titled American women tried
the physical culture stunts. And they
succeeded in reducing their weight very
rapidly. When they had come down
nearly to normal and were able to put
on their presentation gowns they made
out a set of rules for themselves which
they gave to their friends who wanted
them. They are maximS and precepts
as well as rules and they are most
useful as a guide to getting a smaller
waist line.
Watch the size and position of your
waist line. If IL gets large, and your
waist has a tendency TO crawl up, it
is time to get to work.

MRS. GIL BERTS VIEWS ON LENTEN tOuSEWIfEPY

These people, perhaps are eXtrava-
gantly fond of heated animal fats OF va
TiouS kinds. They enjoy the flavor of
lard clinging to certain Tics1 fritters, GRO
quotes, etc, and are not averse to hav-
ing some of the frying element absorbed
by their food. No feeling of nausea
overpowers them at sight of generous
spoonfuls of clear fat being ladled over
their helpings of meat. Delicate cream
sauces and GRAVES may now be made TO
fill the places of certain Of these oily
foods at least a part of the time. Dishes
cooked with cream may well take prece-
dence now of those formerly prepared
with butter OF other fats, though cream,
butte, suet. and lard are as truly ami
NAL fats as are the layers of concrete
substance which we find encircing cur
slices of roast beef. our portions Of
steak. chops. etc. but cream is the
most easily digested of the whole list.
And yet cream that Is heated to high
temperature is positively injurious to
some persons whose digestion is not OF
the strongest. The same also Is true OF
other kinds of fats. though butter treat
ed in this way has been found to be the
most Objectionable of all Where there
Is one person who cannot eat foods
cooked in cream there are twenty who
are obliged to shun melted butter as
they would shun the plague We could
mot without injury drop all fats from our
bill of fare, even though it were done
gradually, for that would be to deprive
ourselves of a necessary food and one
that is useful in producing heat and
force. We can, however. make certain
changes in the use of this food which
cannot help but be beneficial to us. In
determining matters of this kind there
are several things To be considered
Where high pressure and lightning speed
form the rule of existence, Lent and its
customary palmer fare may often serve
as a brake and may frequently be useful
in preventing accidents on the digestive
course.
The Washington times., 1905-03-12
Some General Deductions.

Limited space forbids the discussion of
this question of change of food at
length, but one or two points should re-
ceive at least passing attention. This
month is a good time in which to sub
stitute fer complex mixtures of various
kinds certain palmer foods which
nature has given US. foods that If used
simply and reasonably are far more
paiatable, more easily digested, and of
much greater value than if blended to-
gether in one general dish. Among these
may be mentioned milk, cream. vegeta-
bIes, grains, dried or fresh fruits,
oysters. the lighter meats, fish, etc. A
dainter table, more attractive and sat

keepers rejo.-e to be done
with entertaining for six
weeks in hopes that they can clear off
the butchers and bakers bills, etc"
To the wise and progressive house
keeper Lent means much more than
this. It also means more than the sub
stitution of fish for flesh meat and
cutting down of the usual allowance OF
food on certain days of the week. With
the matter of fasting this article has
nothing to do. That is q question TO be
settled by each person for himself. The
period Of self-denial and penitential re
solve may embrace few or many par
ticulars according to individual concep-
ton of the meaning of the season. Some
one has defined Lent as the time when
every sane man needs to go apart and
meet the truth about himself squarely-
This. l take it, is an instance of putting
a great big truth in an extremely small
nutshell. There are several sermons
and at least a months Sunday school
lessons comprised in these few we'll
chosen words. The usefulness of thus
taking spiritual stock il were and
reviewing ones self at 81 stated time Is
also a matter for individual settlement.
To the writer it would seem that it is
not half so important when the review
is made as il is that We should remem-
Der To make it. That is the idea In it
