THAT advice" said the American
woman to the writer, cost me over
81 500. and it was worth it. Pass 1t

The question of exercise is CT the
utmost Importance. A walk OF TWO
miles a day in the fresh air should
keep one in good condition, with the
additional moving about that is done
in the usual routine. If, for any rea-
son, this walk is not practicable, the
windows should be thrown wide open
and one should practice faithfully Tor
at least ten minutes night and morn
| ing the ordinary calisthenic exer-
cises with which every one is more
or less familiar. Special attention
should be given to breathing exer-
cises-drawing in ten or 20 long.
deep breaths and exhaling them again
slowly.
Every one realizes the value OF this
as an aid to health. We all know that
to flush the lungs with pure air is as
necessary as to battle the body. Yet
not one woman in 10000 makes
daily practice of the exercise. One
need not make elaborate preparations
for It. 1t should be done Immediately
after arising, before putting on cor
sets, and in room which has beer
freshly aired. But it can also be done
at any time during the day and in any
place where the air is pure and tho
seeker after health is free from curl
Gus and interested observation.
