The Way to Sleep.

Young people often lose the pretty
contour of the face because they sleep
with their mouths open, while the wom-
an who is inclined to be fat if she
will form the habit of sleeping with
her head up, instead of bent very far
down, or with such chin strap to hol6
the mouth shut and the chin up will
not acquire the dreaded double or triple
chin.
Another bad habit is for the fat
woman to consider herself fat; the
minute she says Il am too fat to run
upstairs, too fat to walk much" that
is just the time to begin work to de-
crease ones flesh; to walk and run up
and down stairs as much as possible,
for Incidence invariably accompanies
the fat woman, and that is the most
difficult thing to overcome.
Body massage, if one can obtain it,
would help reduce the weight. and face
massage will do much toward dispers-
ing the fatty tissue that disfigures the
youthful face.
But, alas! the fat woman does not
care about strenuous exercise, and
much prefers applying medicated soaps
or trying to melt down fat at the
Turkish bath or by spasmodic hard
work encased in rubber garments I'M
der a sweater
OF course, the more you exercise the
more you will perspire and the sooner
you will melt down your fat. ~he
trouble is that few women are willing
to keep it up long enough to feel the
good results.

that tend TO make one grow fat. First
of all, there is a dumpy way of sit
ting as when one falls to pieces over
the top of her stays and slumps in at
the waist just as much as her steel
armor will allow. Now. if you want
to keep your figure. you cannot afford
to slump at all. but should cultivate
good straight backbone and hold your
shoulders back naturally, not stiffly
but so that you are never sitting in a
round -shouldered position.
l have seen so many girls of eighteen
or nineteen whose shoulders were
round, and whose backs already looked
old Just because they do not sit up
straight When sitting al a desk OF
sewing table, when you are reading or
writing, place your chair sufficiently
far from the table to allow you to sit
well back in the chair, and then bend
forward from the hips. This position
is really more restful than the hollow
chest and round -shouldered one. and
it is just a matter of habit to get ac-
customed to it.
There are all kinds of braces sold
now which hold the shoulders back
and keep one from getting d broad and
round shouldered back. They are good
for the fat woman. because they remind
her to hold herself correctly which
will make her look taller and less
dumpy. The same kind of b.ace is
made by the English army officers of
three handkerchiefs. Knot the ends Of
two of the handlerchefs together, slip
these over the arms and around the
shoulders. Now pass The third hand
kerchief across the back and under the
two arm circles, and have some one

A generation or so ago, if woman
had an Grand she walked-she had to;
there was no other way.
Later she could do it in half the time
by riding. Now she can do it almost
instantly, by telephone.
That's Progress, and Progress is made
possible by science.
Fels-Naptha is science applied to the
washday problem, and it's results are Just
wonderful.
Formerly washday was time of sick
ening odors, back-breaking labor, disor-
dered house and the severest test on the
clothes. This was necessary. There was
no other way.
The Fcls-Naptha day-the
scientific washday-isn washday at all in
the old sense; merely an incident in the
routine of household duties.
And if directions on the red, and green
wrapper are followed, the result is certain.

Many girl inherlts a tendency to

it is hard to overcome it, and a con

the increase in weight.

once knew a dear OLD apple woman

her tub-like figure worried her.

anything but tea" And how mach

Well, there was the secret of Mary's
fat, and she certainly never suspected
that the teapot which simmered all day
long on the stove had done so much
to make her lose her slender shape.
Almost every woman who is too fat
has some sort of a little bad habit
simmering in the background like
Marys teapot. Something she never
suspects has helped to make her fat,
and it's only after much cross ques-
tioning that you can find out what it
is.

Notes From CenterviIle

1t has been sometime since any items
have been sent in from our town but
the Educational Column" in last
weeks paper shows that the lakeshore
town now as before is still one of the
bright spots on the educational chart
of the county.
There has always been more or less
of rivalry for educational honors be-
tween Centerville and Mishicot and in
the past when speaking of the leaders
Mishicot represented the Northern
half and Centerville the Southern half
of the county.
The writer never taught in the north
ern town but he has in the town on the
lake and knows that school matters are
always the topics of the day in the
homes.
The voters always endeavor to secure
the most capable men to fill the school
Offices and the officers in turn secure
the best teachers to be had as they
always pay fairly good salary, though
they can still do little better.
The teachers certainly are to be
complimented upon the showing made
by the pupils and they can feel assn ed
their work is appreciated, otherwise
the register would not show as good a
record.
The writer doesn't mean to insinu.
ate that those schools of the county,
where the record hasn't been as good
that the teachers are entirely at fault
but it is generally safe guess tina,
where the attendance is low the work
is not as good. When the next report
is made we wish to see Centerville
lead and if Cooperstown can't get one
of the upper places that at least it viii
get in the ground floor.
