The Salvation Army, which has oc- cupied unique field in so many re- ligious and social reforms in the past, has entered upon a new campaign. This time 1t is the suicide who is the center of the army's solicitude, and Gen. William Booth, the aged leader of the organization, has just opened up in London a special bureau whose mission shall be to snatch from the brink of self-imposed death those who would plunge over. Tks bureau Is in charge of two Salvation Ark.y officers of wide experience of life, to whom those who have come to the conclus- ion that their difficulties are insuper- able and that life is not worth living may apply for advice. The office will be at 101 Queen Victoria street. E.. C.. and applicants may either call be- tween 10 a. m. and 5:30 p. m. or write. The following rules have been laid down by Gen. Booth:
 Condolences will be rigidly kept and secrecy inviolably preserved.
 No inquiries into the antecedents or private circumstances of appli- cants will be made.
 Nothing will be committed to writ ing without the express permission of applicants.
 No financial assistance can be promised. t
 All those living in any part of the United Kingdom who are in serious difhculties are melted to apply. They will be certain of getting counsel which will check them on the path which leads to self-destruction. -4 The need for such an experiment lies in the fact that suicides in the United Kingdom have increased by 200 per cent. in 50 years and by 150 per cent in 25 years. In 1904. the last year for which official figures arc available, 2.523 men and s22 women took their lives in England and Wales alone, while the total in the Metro politan police district was 660. At least an equal number of persons were prevented from accomplishing their intention.
 How rapid has been the increase during recent years may be seen from the following official statistics of sui cides in England and Wales since 1885:

HEALTH AND VIC0R

 BODILY EXERCISE.
lts Benefits Not as Rule Sufficiently Understood by Women-HoW to Get Rid of Nervous
 Dizziness.

If women only realized how much they might improve themselves by ju- dicious and specific forms of exercise, promoting not only bodily symmetry. but correcting various bodily disor- ders, am sure they would give the subject serious thought and study writes Mile. Adrienne in the Los An geles Herald.
 Women would not only save doc tors bills, but would add materially to their physical health and charms.
 We'll directed exercise promotes bodily symmetry by developing the muscle structures, and increasing the circulation and aeration of the blood. A woman should always enter upon a systematic course with comprehen- sive idea of just what she requires and how the same may be accomp. lished.
 In order to gain any benefit from a special exercise a woman must be pa tient and persistent in her efforts. This means of improving your health does not require much time in the morning before dressing. and at night after disrobing, and let me say that five minutes regularly given at these times each day, is more valuable than an hour or two several times a week at gymnasium. It is the little work day by day that accomplishes the real good, whereas something is lost dur ing the longer intervals.
 A good exercise Is circling the body about the hips. The trunk is turned only on the hips and describes wide circle from left to right. then from right to left. All of the muscles about the hips. as we'll as those of the ab.

domen, are exercised, and the whole digestive apparatus Is stimulated. It's practice is very beneficial when there is inactivity of these parts. If you are troubled by nervous dizziness this exercise will help you, for by 1t you will get used to turning your head in circle. If this is hard to do at first begin by performing 1t when you are in sitting position. You will then grow used to it by degrees.
 An excellent exercise for giving boise and symmetry to the whole body is that of standing erect with the chest thrown out. extending the arms horizontally to their full extent. and while holding the arms in this posi-. tion, twist the hands upon the wrists.
 Many exercises have been devised for lengthening the waist and render ing the body pliant and supple. but the following one will not only exer- else the muscles of the trunk, but brings those of the rest of the body into fine play.
 have given the first and last posi-. fion of the exercise. The first posi- fion is to place the hands back to hack, while the arms hang loosely in front, then the arms should be gradu. ally raised to the second position, bringing the hands in front of the chest, at the same time gradually rise
 
 ing and straightening the arms. bring ing the hands above the head. with the finger tips touching, closely to- gether. At the same time rise still further on the feet until standing as much on the toes as is possible and still maintain your balance. This ex- ercise gives a wonderful grace and suppleness to the whole figure and is easily done with a little practice.

These figures give a total of over 50,000 suicides in England and Wales in 20 years-a number larger than the casualties on both sides in the great battles of Blenheim, Austerlitz, Sadowa, wagram or Gravelotte. and far exceeding the deaths at Water loo.
 To an American representative Gen. Booth said:
 "The act of self-destruction is a violation of the sacredness of life, the law of the land and an outrage upon the moral sense of the people. Sui- eide is indefensible.
 Vet it is on the increase in every land and among all classes. Modern civilization cannot claim that 1t has fostered and developed the bonds that bind men to a just appreciation of life. Statistics of suicides are alarm ing. especially in such countries as Denmark, Bavaria and several parts of the German empire. But. no doubt. many more perish by their own act. whose names never appear on the statistical roll of suicides.
 "The offense is either committed in a way that bafsies human skill in its effort to determine the cause of death. or means are found by infiuen- tial and wealthy friends to hide away the crime.
 But if so many with suicidal intent find courage for the sad deed. who can calculate the number who would cut the sacred thread which binds them to this world if they dare. Nay. how many of the gay. laughing crowds around us have at one time CT another contemplated suicide. and
