Austrian Women Ambitious.
The steady streams of American WON

have aroused the younger women Of
Austria to Il vivid sense of their own
limperfections The active. free-step-
ping and healthy American girl has
proved Il revelation to them. and espe-
cially among those who rank there as
the middle classes, there has grown up
Irecently the keenest interest in the man
ner of life American women lead at
home. The result of this trend of
thought is sho wing itself in a way that
threatens an economic revolution The
typical American girl the Austrian wom-

factory and the workshop, TO the inn

Putting on Flesh.
1t is as hard Il task for some people
! to take on flesh as it is for others 10
reduce flesh. The person who wants to
gain flesh, must do just the opposite of
the one who is seeking to reduce his
weight
| First of all. the lean person should
| try to find the cause of his leanness 1t
may be caused by improper food, wrong
habits of eating, bad cooking, or perhaps
| the food he eats does not digest or it Is
not assimilated; it may be due to over
work and nervous exhaustion, or there
may be some disease of the organs CON
nected especially with nutrition, as the
| stomach, liver. etc. In some people
! leanness seems to be constitutional or
| hereditary, and although they may enjoy
| the best of health, yet they always re.
main thin.
If the cause of the leanness can be
ascertained then the treatment would
consist of removing the cause.
The diet of the lean person should
consist of those foods that tend to pro-
duce fat. They are chiefly sugars and
starches. A good dietary for a lean per
son would be an abundance of fat meats
tbeef. mutton, chicken, etc), butter,
cream. milk, cocoa, chocolate, bread, POI
tatoes. beans, peas, cereals especially
! oatmeal and coFnmeal; tapioca. rice and
sage pudding with sugar and cream,
cake. sweets. honey, syrup and sweet
fruits. Malt preparations of all sort are
useful.
The thin person should avoid pickle~.
acid fruits and should eat very sparingly
| OF green vegetables.
| Light exercise should be taken every
| day, especially exercise to strengthen the
digestive organs. The first thing i'm the
| morning take ten OF fifteen breaths of
air at an open window. Learn % breathe
| abdominally, as this deep breathinS
strengthens the stomach and aids in the
digestion of food. Then try this exercise
| Lie fat on the back. raise the feet p, v
pendicularIy, bend the knees and MAKE
the legs 80 as if you were riding a wheel
| Better than this would be q ride on "A
wheel in the open air, breathing deeply
as you ride But proper aIet and exer-
| else cannot alone make a thin person
| plump. II is almost useless to attempt
il unless other favoring conditions can be-
| secured. Chief among these the mind
should be free from mental strain and
worry: incesSant mental work or a very
active physical life viii prevent the TAX
/ ing on of flesh, A tranquil mind an
! easy. luxurious life and warm climate
are very conducive 10 gaining flesh. of
equal Importance is an abundance If
sleep.
/ Summing it all up. then. the thin per
| son who wants to get fat should live an
| easy. care-free life. eat nutritious fat
producing foods. take light exercise. keep
warn--staying in the sunshine as much
as possible-sleep ten or twelve hours
| every night, in fact. take things easy
and not try 70 keep up with the gtreuu-
