fat is taken as follows: Lay fiat on
i the back on the floor and place the
hands at the sides

keep the feet down and keep the knees

HOW TO AVOID FLAKY SKIN.
At this time of the year rough,
chapped and faky skin is due TO hard
water, impure soap, and careless eX
posture to the winter winds, and to
lack Of the use of some good, pure
cold cream
If few simple rules are persistent
ly followed the skin can soon be made
soft and smooth again.
Never wash the face for an hour
before or after going out in the wind.
Soften the water by means of a pinch
of borax and substitute a good. pure,
and mild soap for the one which you
have been using.
Use plenty of cold cream on the face
to remove the roughness and fiakiness
and to make ii smooth and soft.
Never go out without protecting the
face from the wind with plenty of
cold cream and powder Here is the
proper. way in which to apply them:
Gently rub the cream into the skin
until every spot is thoroughly covered
|, and leave it on for few minutes, so
that the pores can absorb all that they
can contain With a soft, old linen
cloth wipe away all that remains and
lightly dust the face over with a pure
vegetable powder. The powder will
stick to the cream and stay on until
washed off
With such care and an occasional
steaming to open up the pores and
soften the skin the roughness will soon
be removed.
BORAx FOR GREASY SKIN.
One of the greatest of complexion
annoyances is a greasy skin. Soap
fails to remove the grease, powder
stays on but a short time, and the
face generally has a greasy, uncIean
look which is disfiguring.
This condition is due to an unusual
secretion of fatty matter, by the skin.
There is simple remedy which, 1t is
claimed, is a sure cure for this Attic
ton. 1t is a saturated solution Of
borax. to be usde instead of soap.
Wash the face with borax night and
morning. allowing it to remain on for
several minutes, and then wash the
face in rain or filtered water
1t is claimed that the borax, q mild
alkali. unttes with the minute globules
of fat to form Ct soap, and thus the
face is both cleansed and freed from
its greasy appearance. This solution
also has another delightful result:
It frees one from that humiliating
affictfon-a red nose. or redness OF
the knuckIes.
FIAT CHEST CAN BE DEVELOPED
Skipping and running in the open
air or near an open window will soon
develop and broaden out a fat and
narrow chest.
The best way to dilate the lungs and
expand the chest is To perform exer-
cises which will increase the depth Of
respiration.
