Exercise Not for Women.

A famous physician of late has been
calmly pointing out to women the fool
ishness of physical exercise as means
of resting the mind. He says emphat-
ically that the old theory is is all non
sense-tbat the MIND cannot rest when
the body is tired. He says that the
practice of taking long walk at 4
fast trot when one has done a hard
days work is entirely the wrong thing
TO do. In his words, ut adds one
fatigue TO another" He does not be-
lieve in strenuous exercise for men
tally overworked people.
Another belief of his will cause more
excitement and discussion than any
other. Women" he says, who do not
indulge in physical exercise live longer
than men," He does not think women
need exercise This Is q daring state
ment to make i'm the middle of a gener-
alton that is absolutely given over to
the exercise fad. He is not alone in
this belief, however, for Il number OF
women Who have gone to rack and ruin
through physical exercise agree with
his theory. Too many women have be-
come useless burdens through over-ex-
ercising for this statement to be en-
tirely denied. The theory that athletics
gave grace to woman has been dis
carded and there is quite good deal of
support given in high quarters to the
new theory that heavy exercise units
a woman for living her life.
The doctor says that plenty of fresh
air day and night and one hours walk
is enough for any woman. Regarding
the subject of the annual vacation for
women the doctor says: Mine out of
ten women feel worse after =. vacation
than when they started and are unable
to resume work properly. a woman
does not need long rest, but n great
number of short ones. 1t is better to
rest four separate half hours day
than to go like mad through the week
ard rest sixteen hours on Sunday. Ii
is better to divide the twelve months
CT work into stated half holidays rath-
er than take two months after ten

Cultivate sound, health-creating emo

Allow yourself sufficient time In
which to do your work. Hold in re-

who do not fear the roads or pavements
in any kind Of weather, have rubber
soles put on their walking shoes. This
also prevents fatigue, as rubber is light

added to heels to make walking easier

The Correct Time for Bathing,

The morning is the best time for a
cold-water bath, tepd one morning

be taken just before retiring, inasmuch
as it is relaxing. Never battle just

every day.

Keeping Ferns,

E. 1t is said that ferns may be kept
fresh by giving them a steaming of
three hours. Once every week or SO
they should be put into the bathroom,
shutting all windows and doors of the
room to keep in the steam. The bath
tub should then be filled with hot water
1t will give out a good steam. The room
should not be cooled suddenly after
this Is done.
By treating the ferns to this bath 1t
is not necessary to wash and spray the
