Women are such reckless spend
wonder we do not see more cases of
nervous exhaustion. They make the
most ruinous overdrafts upon their
nerves, sapping their vitality. until
they are so broken down by pain and
WEAKNESS that the reserve force, the
nerve capital, is utterly worn out.
Every woman should fight on nery-
BUSINESS as she would wild beast.
A nervous woman is never a healthy
woman or a beautiful one. for a soN@d
body makes sound nerves. and where
these are unstrung or easily put on
edge trouble is brewing somewhere.
A nervous woman must train her
mind; she must not allow things to
upset her; she must not take the
world too seriously. For. after all.
the mind is much to blame in connec-
ton with her unstrung nerves.
The brain needs relaxation; here
exercise plays twofold part.
A nervous woman should never at
tempt to take violent exercise or to
overtax her strength She should
cautiously test her strength and at
the same time taking all the kinks
out of her mind. The only device re-
quired is strong bedroom chair OF
convenient size and shape, one that
is not likely to give way under her

weight
For a good exercise assume the posi-
ton as shown, and, with the body
rigid, turn as far as you can. endeav.
oring to catch a glimpse of the cell

cially good for developing the chest
and arms. After firing in this posi-
ton then reverse it,
While these exercises are being
taken open the windows and breathe
deeply Just before retiring is a
good time, as the exertion will then
! produce sound, wholesome slumber.

FLOWERS FOR SICK ROOM.
Two Things TO BE Remembered When
Sending Them.

When choosing flowers to send to
sick friend remember that the two
necessary qualifications are that they
have only faint odor, and that they
are OF some variety that is lasting.
Some flowers last very much longer
than others.
Carnations probably give more sat
isfaction than any other flower In
this respect, and the odor is very re-
freshing. Roses, lilies of the valley
and yiolets are all suitable for sick
room, but they do not last fresh for
very long.
They will keep much better. how
ever. IL they are removed from the
sick room every night, and this
should always be done with any kind
of flower. Put them into cool place
and cut the stems, then fill the vases
with fresh hot water into which a
nineh of salt has been added This
will not make the fragrance last. but
it will freshen the flowers and make
the colors look brighter.
Always remember when calling
upon any one who has been III, Oh

about illness or sorrow OF any kind
and do not ask the symptoms or ex
nerience of the invalid during his OF

PROPER MANNER or WALKING.
Body Should Be Carried Well to De.
rive Real Benefit.

There is no exercise so thoroughly
strained nerves as walking. When
there is no organic weakness which Is
aggravated by the exertion 1t is the
easiest thing to walk right into health.
Almost all fatigue and ungraceful-
ness can be traced to a violation of the
laws of economy within which the
body moves
To derive any real benefit from
walking the step must be light and
elastic. Swing the body so easily from
one leg to the other that it's weight
is not felt. The harmonious play of
the muscles imparts supple grace
and litheness that is felt mentally as
well as physically and produces a
healthy glow, showing that the slug
gish blood Is stirred to action in the
most remote veins.
This manner of walking, as may be
imagined, strengthens the whole body
giving tone to the nerves and produc
ing just the sort of healthful fatigue
which encourages sound rest and
identifying slumber.
When one rises to walk the whole
body should be thrown into state
of gentle tension, putting every mus
Gle which harmonious movement EN-
ploys into vigorous. responsive actor
and so perfectly balanced that every
part does its work without perceptiblt
strain.
