Habit is a cable. we weave a
thread of 1t every day, and at last
we cannot break it.
One of the strangest things about
our existence is the fact that the
bad habit seems to come naturally
and the good habit a matter of
training.
The ultra fashionable society
woman cultivates only the habits of
luxury and ease, and very often only
awakens when seeking entertainment.
This type of woman is very much
the same in every country and since
she is not considered a useful mem
ber of society, this article is not
written in reference to her.
No woman can sink into a state
of mental laziness and be alert phys
ically. nor can she be physically lazy
and alert mentally. The two go
hand in hand and until they are ac-
tually put to the test will we be on
the highway Of progress and know
the full joy of living. Then will we
also know that trained and we'll
groomed body is the outward ex-
preston of a keen, wholesome and
sympathetic mind.
The secret Of grace is complete
control of the body and when a
woman has once cultivated the habit
of controlling her nerve force she has
gained the first step toward attrac-
tiveness. And through this control
she has made possible the free ex-
nf MIR ,tytfb -,
Is a reckless spendthrlft of strengt h
and so deeply is this habit imbedded
that she doesn't realize her condition
till she is broken down by pain and
WEAKNESS and her nerve force COM
pletely exhausted.
Such habits as mannerisms of
speech and movements tricks of the
voice, and facial quirks and grim
aces, make many women absurd car
features of what they might be.
The fullness of life with all it's
joys and pleasures is almost sealed
book to the woman who does not
know how to correct homely habits
and make herself interesting and
attractive. She is but half living
who does not understand this, for
through that channel we form
friendships which are the staff of
life and opportunity es are given us
that are otherwise passed by.
Concerning the training of the
girl, can do no better than take
Ruskin's words: THE first of our
duties to her-no thoughtful persons
now doubt this-is to secure for her
such physical training and exercise
as may confirm her health and per-
feet her beauty; the highest refine
ment Of that beauty being unattain-
able without splendor Of activity and
of firm delicate strength
To perfect her beauty, I say, and
increase its power, for It cannot be

Whistle for Health

Boys with a tendency TO- Bronchitis and
pneumonia and girls, too. are nov being
encouraged to whistle by the advice OF
physicians. for, n has been proved that
children who whistle are least troubled by
these diseases. zt-sase-s--
''Whistling is not so poTnilar2 among boys
as 1t used TO be, and. IL Is considered in
decorous for girls by many people" said
a physician TO the London Daily Mirror.
But all that should be changed For
quite commonplace boys look more intelli-
gent. The boy who never whistles is gen
orally a lout
People who find they are apt to lose
their wind when climbing hills should
make habit OF whistling Loudly at every
second step. This viii soon cure them OF
bFeathiessness. They must whistle. not

1t would be a good plan to have classes
for whistling started where children and
Older persons could learn TO whistle notes
