LADY DECIES.

and il she bows to the order OF the
British queen she will have to give
up her wardrobe and have new gowns
made in fuller fashion.
OF course Lady Decies may have
specially made coronation robe, but
most peeress brides prefer to wear
their wedding gown WITH a court train
added. Lady Decies' wedding gown
was probably made with the corona
tion in mind, but now will have to be
remodeled to meet the almost Vic
torian prudishness of Queen Mary. AS
for her other gowns, theC were all cut
in the prevailing tight hobble fashion.
BY friends who have seen all her
gowns it is said that it will cost the
bride a small fortune to replace them
by gowns that shall please the queen.

Aduoeafas Erercise.

J
As to exercise. precisely the op-
posite course should be followed.
Stimulants if used st all should be
used only on exceptional occasions.
Exercise should be taken regularly,
though always in moderation. One of
the chief objections l have to the com
petitige games so popular nowadays
football hockey and the likes thas
they tend to OveFeXerCise the player,
taxing his nervous system fully as
much as If not more than oyervork
would, tax it. Oyerexercise is indeed
ovefwork. Accordingly have always

ations of an indisidualistic character

guish the moment the distress signaE
of fatigue appears Pre-eminent among
such forms of exercise ! place, walk
ing, driving, horseback riding, row.;
ing, sailing bicycle riding and playing
golf.
Eight Hours Sleep.
II also feel strongly with regard to-
the matter of sleep. My own allow
ance is eight hours, and am inclined
to think that man cannot get along
on much less and do his best work.
Some people require ten hours. One
often hears, on the other hand, Of
men who boast that they can do with
four or FIVE hours of sleep and feel no
Ill effects. Ny observation is that
such men sleep more in the day
than they realize and that they often
go to sleep at most inopportune mo-
ments My firm belief, then, is that
the man who as general thing sleeps
less than seven to eight hours out of
the twenty four will find nature COM
pelling him at intervals to make up for
che lost hours.
There are many ways by which a.
man may be helped to acquire habits
sf cheerfulness and serenity. The best
way assuredly is for him to live as a
man should-honeStly and uprfghtly
A good conscience will go far toward

Deafness Cannot be Cured

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that IS by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed CON
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube When this tube is
lnilamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be DESTROYED
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
