If YOU took up a milk diet for seye-
raj months you would not fail to gain,
but not every one can do it. This
consists of three or four quarts OF
rich milk, slipped very slowly each
day, and six or eight raw eggs, beaten
up in the milk if preferred If the
milk is unpalatable in this way, the
addition of q small quantity of grape
JUICE will make it palatable Acid
fruits must be used at other times
Of the day to counteract the tendency
milk you can eat any of the recon-
mended diet you care for, but you
will find you do not care for a great
deal of extra food
Now you positively must get eight
hours sleep every night, and if you
can manage it get in a nap every
afternoon In fact the more you
sleep the better for gaining weight,
and after each meal take a rest of as
much time as you can spare.
Don. rush around, you thin women
who are trying to take on weight.
Take life as easily and as pleasantly
as you can. Don't get tired or angry
or neTvous-those things keep you
thin and tend to make you "scraggly
! looking Smile often, every time you
think of it, in fact; think what a nice,
comfortable place the world is, eat
cheerfully, and in good company, and
the first thing you know you will
begin to round out all the hollow
places and look like what you want
to-
Remember, in exercise and walking
not to wear yourself out by working
at too high tension. To get the best
results you should go through
your exercises with a great deal of
energy, not rapidly, but as though you
were pulling against a heavy weight
and in a manner to make you feel the
pull on your arms. Fifteen minutes
of this sort of exercise daily (at any
one time), followed by a quick cold
or tepid bath and british rubbing with
coarse towel stimulates the circula-
ton and leaves you much refreshed.
