at the ends The linen should pass IN
der the chin and tie over the head, and
press the flabby part of the chin in, as
well as holding the mouth shut while
sleeping.
The Way to Sleep.
Young people often lose the pretty
contour of the face because they sleep
woman 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 hold
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 min
ute she says Il am too fat to run up
stairs, too fat to walk much" that is
just the time to begin work to decrease
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 diff
cult 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. alasi 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 en-
cased in rubber garments under a
sweater.
OF course, the more you exercise the
more you will perspire and the sooner
you will melt down your fat. The
trouble is that few women are willing
to keep it up long enough to feel the
good results.
An excellent movement for reducing
the waist and abdomen is the follow
ing:
Valuable Exercises.
Lie flat on the back, preferably on
the hard floor; extend the legs stiffly,
then raise first one leg. then the other,
stiffening all the muscles and getting
some! action in the muscles OF the waist,
which with the fat woman are usually
quite weak and flaccid. After repeat
ing this exercise several times, bring
botht legs together to a position as
nearly as possible at right angles with
the body.
The woman who will roll on a hard
floor 100 times night and morning
will soon find her flesh melting away,
buN it isn't a comfortable way of do
inI it,

El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-08-31

Many a girl inherits a tendency tC
flesh, just as she inherited brown and
curly hair. If fat runs in your family,
it is hard to overcome it, and a con-
tinual fight has to be kept up against
the increase in weight.
Ordinarily the woman who is too fat
enjoys good food, but some people who
are fleshy eat very little; when they
do eat, however, they always choose
just those foods which make flesh.
Then they like liquids, soda water,
plenty Of water with meals, ice cream
and half-watery foods. The amount of
fluid one takes has much to do with in
creasing the weight and suppose one
thing every woman knows by now is
that alcohol in any form promotes
false appetite and aids in storing up
fat in the tissues of the body.
The Apple Woman.
I once knew a. dear old apple woman
who was exceedingly stout You would
have thought, to look at her, that she'd
long passed the age when her personal
appearance was the slightest conse-
quence to her. But dear old Mary was
still somewhat vain and her tub-like
got plenty of exercise, and asked her
what she ate and drank. Nothing at
all! Nothing at ALI" she assured me.
Il don t eat enough to keep a bird
alive, and never drink anything but
tea" "And how much tea do you drink,
Mary?' "Oh, sure, p, % cups a day"
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 rat
has some sort of a little bad habit sim
mering in the background like Mary's
teapot. Something she never suspects
has helped to make her fat, and it's
only after much cross questioning that
you can find out what it is.
There are all kinds of bad habits
that tend TO make one grow fat. First
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-08-31

Of all, there is a dumpy way of sitting
as where 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 a good
straight backbone and hold your
shoulders back naturally, not stiffIy
but so that you are never sitting in
round shouldered position.
I have seen so many girls of Is or 10
whose shoulders were round and whose
backs already looked old just because
they do not sit up straight. When sit
ting at a desk or 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 accustomed to it.
There are all kinds of braces sold
now which hold the shoulders back and
keep one from getting a 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 a brace is
made by the English army officers of
three handkerchiefs. Knot the ends Of
two of the handkerchiefs together. slip
these over the arms and around the
shoulders. Now pass the third hand
kerchtef across the back and under the
two arm circles, and have someone
knot this together. drawing the shoul-
ders back by pulling the handkerchief
which bind them.
Another bad habit which the stout
woman easily falls init is that of go
ing around with her head bent down
so that she soon has two or even three
chins- Chin straps for reducing the
chin are sold everywhere nowadays, or
one can make them of a piece of line

quite a childish game. will also reduce
flesh. but II there is anything the mat
ter with the heart it is not advisable
TO try il.
Riding, tennis playing, bicycling and
especially swimming all will reduce
weight
The woman who wants to get thin
must never take maps in the daytime.
and she should not sleep more than
seven hours at night This applies, OF
course, only TO the fat woman of robust
constitution.
DR.. Arnold Lorrand advises abstain
ing from meat entirely, in order to re-
duce flesh, or to eat very little. If any
of it, while for the rest Of the diet

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Aurora.

The Aurora theater has been fortunate
in getting a slide splitting comedy of the
rarest type, for their program today. 1t
is a roIlieking Bunny graph. in which
Flora Finch materially assists in th.s
mirth Bunny shipwrecked, drifts ashore
and is put in a cell in the land of the
Turks He escapes as he is about to be
arraigned. and in his wanderings through
the palace comes upon the widowed Sui
tana Just awakening from a trance AS
she has been informed she is to marry tie
first man she sees upon awakening, and
of course Bunny is the one. Bunny's
trials in attempting to become one of the
faithful, his failure, and his visit to the
hare1n under the escort of the Sultana,
and his forcible withdrawal. in spite of
his fearful ent-eaties, from the company
of so many charming damsels-hy the
beard, too-are some of the laugh pFpvok-
ing incidents. Bunny escapes on horse
back: the journey must have been as
painful to the horse as to his rider.
In addition the program will be sup
ported by the popular tenor, Eddie Thorn
as, who continues to please the Aurora
patrons.
