DOING YOUR OWN WORK

The first step toward success is to de-
eide that 1t is yours, and that all crea-
tion is ready to help you manifest it.
The next step is to work with the
world, taking hold anywhere that the
world win let you, in full confidence
that the world will promote you as fast
as you prove your fitness for promo
ton.
To prove your fitness for promotion
necessitates doing your best with any
job the world gives you, and at the
same time using your spare time and
thought in fitting yourself for a better
one. .
To do one of these things is not
enough. The man who does his work
exceptionally well will be kept at that
same kind of work until crack o'doom
unless he shows aptitude for doing more
valuable work The world is always
looking eagerly for men who can fill
the more difficult positions. 1t is al
ways trying to tempt people into high
er, better paying POSITIONS and the
man who is faithful and efficient in one
place, and evinces the slightest ca
pacity for higher work, is always the
first man to get a chance Of promo
tion.-The Nautilus.

EXERCISE FOR THE STOUT

Although the food that one takes
often has much to do with the amount
of fat put on and a restriction in the
intake of fat-forming foods may pre-
vent the formation of more fat in the
tissues or even effect a reduction, 1t
is seldom that this alone will prove
efficacious
A strict diet is irksome and most
fat people are too easy going to carry
it out faithfully. This is not that they
are weak or deficient in self-control,
but they are too happy and content
with their flesh to be willing to suffer
overmuch discomfort in any effort to
rid themselves of it. Moreover, too
radical a change in a diet may prove
injurious, and it is better to be too
fat-a little too fat, anyway-than to
suffer from indigestion or damage TO
the kidneys, as one may easily do by
inconsiderate and injudicious dieting.
1t is much better to restrict some
what the intake of fat-forming foods,
enough to prevent the increase of fat
and to effect the actual reduction by
mechanical means-that is to say, by
exercise, massage and in certain cases
by the wearing of belt or abdominal
bandage
Massage, when skillfully performed
not simply desultory rubbing here
flesh, when combined with dieting and
with active exercise in the open air.
EXercise-systemati active exer-
cise-is the greatest value in restrain
ing a tendency to overproduction of
fat and in causing a reduction of fat
already formed. 1t must, however, be
combined with dieting, otherwise it's
object will be defeated. 1t naturally
increases the appetite, especially when
taken in the open air, and if this appe-
tite is satisfied with the articles Of
diet that the fat people prefer the last
state will be worse than the first.
The best exercise is walking-not
strolling, but rapid, springy walking,
with shoulders back and arms swing
ing. This kind of walking fills the
lungs with oxygen, which burns up the
fat, puts all the muscles in motion, by
which a natural massage is effected
and increases the circulation, by which
the waste products are more rapidly
eliminated.
Golf is an excellent game for the
overstout, and so is tennis if the heart
is strong. Equestrian exercise is also
good, but driving and motoring are not
the ways to reduce flesh, as they in
crease appetite and assimilation with
out giving the requisite exercise

Table Hints for Hot Weather

Guns sugar. tWo-thirds cup putter'
four egg whites, one cup sweet milk
one cup corn starch, two cups hour,
two teaspoonfuls baking powder, one
teaspoonful Bakers extract of lemon.
Mix in order named. Bake three-quar-
ters of an hour, or until done, with
steady fire.
Nature intends us to eat fresh fruits
and vegetables in summer, so DO not
bother about made desserts.
There are baked peaches, baked Just
as you bake apples, taking out the
peach stone and filling the cavity win
sugar, chopped nuts and raisins. Set
the peaches in a pan with a little wa
ter and bake. Serve each in an 1ndl-
vidual glass with whipped cream. Ba-
nanas that are not quite ripe may be
baked in their skins, first loosenlng the
skins, for twenty to thirty minutes,
then arranged on a hot dish with melt
ed currant jelly poured over them.
Ounces may be baked by cutting
them in halves and putting them in
a pan with a little water. When
cooked cover with butter and sugar.
The plain, everyday baked apple may
be varied by filing the place where the
core was with sugar, cinnamon,
almonds and lemon peel chopped hne.
When baked let cool, then serve with
whipped cream, favored to taste. A
a half of a cantaloupe and fill 1t with
ice cream or ice. Pulled pineapple Is
always acceptable for a first course or
first dessert. Pare the pineapple, take
out the eyes with a sharp knife, then
pull the pulp apart. using two forks.
Only ripe, sweet pineapples should be
used. The pineapple shell, when left
intact makes a pretty receptacle for
fruit salad.
Few Americans would be willing to
forego the fresh fruit pies of which
we are so fond. One housewife makes
her pie shells by turning the pie tins
bottom side up and covering them with
the sheet of dough. This she thinks
easier and makes a better shell than
to line the tin. She stews the fruit or
adds 1t fresh just before serving.
Another makes individual pie shells
In her muffin tins, uses only as many
as she needs for the meal, and sets the
others away. Both of these declare that
soggy, juice soaked pies are unknown
on their tables. One always serves in
dividual lemon meringue pies at her
company luncheons and dinners No
one fully outgrows his liking for patty
pan" pies and tarts.

w HEN the good old summer time
w is here there are a few causes
~ for real discomfort. One of them
is the aching of the feet
The reason for this is obvious, if you
give it any thought at all. First of all,
how much attention do you pay your
feet? Battle them, of course, but is
that enough?
We battle the hands and face, cream
them, If necessary. to keep them
smooth and white we wear gloves to
protect the hands and give them an
air bath most of the time, but our poor
feet are abused.
In the first place we buy readymade
shoes, whether they fit or not, and put
our feet under pressuse so that every
muscle is twisted and pulled until the
nerves tingle; the feet swell, and cal
loused places form. Still we do not
take care of them, and at last we are
mincing along in the most ungainiy
fashion ever imagined.
just turn over new leaf and see
what the result will be.
Do not soak the feet every day. That
makes them tender and very soft. Bathe
them every morning in tepid water
with soap lathered well over them, then
rinse with cold water. If you put n
little alum in the water it will help to
harden them and prevent that aching;
a handful Of bran in the water occa-
sionally is very good.
At night wipe them off with a wet
wash cloth; wipe dry and then rub
with the slice of lemon. The juice Is
very refreshing to tired feet.
Those who are afflicted with persplr-
ing feet will find that a lotion applied
of white oak bark every night will aid
them wonderfully after soaking in alum
water. The white oak bark has a good
effect in, every way and is not in
furious.
Dust the feet with talcum powder and
rub in vaseline every night before re-
firing, no matter what else you have
done to make them comfortable; this
will massage the muscles and give as
great relief as 1t does the hands or face
The muscles of the feet bear the weight
of your body day after day and receive
| the least attention. Fancy the care
and attention they should receive.
After you have bathed them the vase
line is applied, the powder busted on;
but you can wipe off all excess of vase
Los Angeles herald., 1909-08-19

line after the rubbing process, for the
feet should be quite dry. You will sleep
better and feel better when these little
details are looked after.
SO much for the direct care of the
feet. Now, for the dressing of them.
If you cannot afford to have expensive
stockings and sufficient changes, buy
one dozen pairs of the cheap hose, but
change every day. Rinse out those you
have taken off. having the water soapy
for the feet of the stocking. If you are
careful to use a little salt in the water
to set the color it will not be apt to
make them fade quickly.
White feet may be worn If you have
shoes high enough, but with pumps
and low shoes this is impossible. The
white feet will not heat the feet and
give relief to many.
In regard to the shoes, here is a most
important feature to consider. Be sure
you know what kind of feet you have
and the right shoe to wear.
There are all sorts of shoes, the low
fiat heel with low arch and the Cuban
heel with high arch, and there is the
shoe with the French heel and the very
high arch. You must belong to some OF
these shaped lasts.
If your foot is quite fiat in the arch
wear the low heel but you should have
a protection for the arch so that you do
not get fiat foot. The low arch in the
sole of the foot is strained by wearing
high heels. and the woman with high
arch. who despises the high heel, think
ing 1t is a cause of i'll ealth and born
Of frivolous notions, must be careful,
for she viii surely have cramps, fiat
foot and all sorts of difficulties unless
she wears a brace for the arch OF her
foot with low heels. Never attempt to
make your foot fiat If you have the
arch, and those muscles must be pro-
tected when walking or giving any
strain upon the feet.
AS to the heels for walking purposes,
the Cuban heel will give you sufficient
standing room and. if not too high,
they are comfortable for the woman
with the arched foot. But, after you
have come indoors, take off those shoes
and put on pair of sandals Take on
your hose, If possible, and air the feet,
change the shoes, and see what rest
full feeling you will have.
No matter what size shoe you wear
let the shoe dealer put on his measure
and make the shoe a bit longer. IL the
