II was cured of an annoying Dropen-
sity to sleep at the wrong time in
rather an original way" said Snoozer
''Some time ago there were a num-
Der of nights when I could not sleep
until just before it was time to rise
In the morning. Then. of course 1t
was hard to wake me. My friends
advised all sorts Of remedies, but my
wife set her wits to work and found
the right one. The next night l fell
into Light doze after l got into bed.
but in less than twenty minutes l
was as wide awake as ever, pitching
and tossing and unable to close my
eyes. Well, my wife got up, struck
a match and pretended to look at her
watch. Then she said:
az wouldn't try to go to sleep, dear,
as it will soon be time for you to get
up now
THAT settled it. In three minutes
I was asleep and slept like a log.
This was repeated once or twice. and
now l get my regular sleep every
night. The best Of it was that didn't
know for number of days the little
ruse that had been employed to send
me to sleep.

FOR REDUCTION OF FLESH.
Exercise That VIII Bring About De.
sired Symmetry.

Massage can be OF great use I'm the
reduction OF tho abdomen and hips.
The exercise about TO be described Is
highly recommended by one who has
had much experience IA giving and
directing exercises for heshy reduc-
tion and the Improvement OF bodily
symmetry. Whom beginning Il one
should be careful TO get used to IL
gradually, as II puts a great strain
upon the muscles and Is apt TO make
one quito lame. the same as the first
horseback ride. One should be ex-
tended upon the floor supporting
oneself by one hand. while the other
is placed upon tho hip. While hold
ing this position raise the body grad.
ually from the floor until the whole
weight is supported by the hands and
feet. II is easy 70 get the body from
the floor as far as the knees. but to
bring IL up TO the full extent Just
described is not easy at first. II
should be tried first on one side and
then on the other.
A good exercise for the reduction
OF the abdomen IS that OF throwing
the hands above tho head with the
palms outward, the arms extended.
and the body thrown back as much
as possible and then. bending for
ward at the waist, keeping the knees
straight and trying TO touch the floor
with the fingers. II is difficult TO do
without bending the knees.
The following exercise is much
easier and Is effective. One lies ex-
tended full length upon the floor. with
the feet together and the arms folded
upon the breast. Raise. first one leg.
stihly extended. and then the other.
This will strengthen the muscles Of
the lower eNtreIaities. The third
movement. which is simple. is TO
bring the legs, kept closely together,
into position as nearly as possible
at right angles with the body.
1t takes some time TO describe these
exercises. but after they have been
learned It will not take long TO do
them; each should DO repeated a Ger
tain number OF times daily.
The great point in order TO attain
beneficial results is TO be faithful in
keeping them up persistentIy.
