When one has gone through an elaborate experience to bring about a desired end. 1t Is often found that a simple course would have answered the purpose much better
 A well-known Englishwoman of title. who wa was with with the Joseph chamberlains at Ak retained her youthful figure and supple charm. The reply was:
 reasonabie ones they would scarcely inter est any one. When realized my hips and waist were growing larger. and my neck a remedy. found 1t In my dressing room and exercised with 1t ten minutes each morning. Now my proportions are as they were when l was eighteen. and I shall keep
 simple Health Method.
 The apparatus used for promoting grace. renewing youth. and destroying weight was wardrobe. The Englishwoman stood with knees together. head well up. body entirely erect, facing the ins.rument 9f 6ssuty-sivtng @ ing sides gradually In a circular way, elbows stiff and fingers straight until they ap- preached the wardrobe. the top of which was finger. She repeated this exercise for ten minutes, each time endeavoring to get nearer the top.
 Gradually. as the flesh disappeared and better action of the muscles followed, the distance was lessened, but the struggie to set still went on. In the absence Of 6 wardrobe, q mantel or a cupboard or possibly door might just as acceptably be brought int" 
 All of which goes to show that it Is not atail necessary to have swimming pools ana gymnasiums m the home in ordef to secure physical development or requisite increase or decrease in weight. Neither Is 1t essenuei to accomplish the hoped-tor results through violent exercising. exnausted muscular force and undue nervous activity.
 Exercise Makes Grace.

 Before one can hope to get any great amount of good from physical training there must be good digestion and carefui IesaI . to diet. One hour of unpleasanthess caossu <, by over-eating will frequently undo the work of ak days, One hour more than the seven allotted for sleeping will unquestionapiy play havoc with the whole system A,. makes if d business He strives for results, and he takes up each task with st oetern n1, tion studying its effect in otsh. i,o ,o aims by concentrated thought and work T. 10 get himself into the desired conolioh- , ne knows if he is careless and indifferent in ms training his medals or prize money n wiI fnrn oe awarded to the man who shows better 10TH
 Adhere to Rules.
 If a woman ser iousIy wishes to reduce her weight she may do It by adherlng striSty v,1I n1 the rules that govern the change. WI. not be expected of her that she tire nerseiI conpIeteiy out that she strain every muscle or twist every Iigament fin her first attempt.

Upon awakening in the morning get up U. once; drink two glasses of water. stand erect, head up stomach in, heels together. Take elBnt or ten long breaths. expanding the lungs' and allowing the fresh air to reach every cell but always contract the muscles before with n temperature of ninety-eight degrees. rub down briskly with warm alcohol, put on the corset as 1t Is to De worn Tor the uay, eat breakfast which should consist only of fruit. toast we'll cooked through tea or COZ to fee, but no water.
