He did this by curing the gaseous
condition that kept his body inflated
and his circumference much greater
than 1t should have been. Refusing
to materially change his diet claim
Ing that he was past forty-f1ve and
that after that age any radical

a little less meat and to chew we'll
whatever he ate. He promised to
give twice as much time to con-
Stunning n beefsteak as he formerly
had done and. strange to say, self
indulgent man though he was, he
kept the promise. Beside this, after
each meal he swallowed an even tea
spoonful Of what in the kitchen we
call baking soda or in the dressing
room bicarbonate Of soda, in q small
glassful Of water. This simple
remedy aided digestion and prevented
the formation Of gas. In a fort
night there was a noticeable change
in his waist line. In two months
the waist was reduced by five inches,
and the banished inches have not re-
turned because he still follows the
plan I have described.
Another reason FOR the dispropo,-
tionately large waist, I have told
you, is that the waist muscles arc
overlaid with fat. This has hap
pencd because the waist muscles are
among the least exercised ones Of
the body. The fat must be disposed
Of in just the opposite way from that
In which 1t was acquired. Idleness
OF those muscles caused the fat. In
dustry must remove 1t.
There are three exercises which,
II perscvered in, will certainly dis
solve the fat at the waist line.

gradually raise the body to sitting

lower the body thus at least twenty
times, unless warned by a strain
upon the muscles that you are too
greatly taxing them. This exercise
must always be taken slowly and
smoothly lest one OF the internal
organs be displaced or strained by
abrupt movements. The health de-
Ponds largely upon a perfect balance
OF the internal organs. The displace-
ment of one Of them by fraction OF
an inch may cause illness.
The third and most difficult waist
movement Is that Of rocking the

cises that unduly develop any set OF
muscles.

How to Make Your Waist Smaller.

q 1NCE fashion for women is the
most fluctuating OF quantities 1t
behooves awoman not only to
suit her figure to the mode but to
know how speedily to change It with
any change OF mode. While the
woman well endowed with common
sense never made any encroachment
upon her health fund to suit the
needs Of fashion nor her conception
OF beauty, she keeps herself informed
as to sound methods Of increasing or
lessening her weight. Such women
will be glad to know OF the modes
that have come into vogue for making
the waist smaller. 1t is always well
to proceed from cause to effect and
the reasons for the prevailing larger
waist than the former wasplikc one
are several.
First, women are enlarging the en-
tire body by saner and moro hygienic
living
Second, whereas they used to com
press the waist to keep It down to
artificial measurements they are now
letting 1t out to its normal size be-
cause fashion permits a frecr figure
But there arc two other and basic
reasons for the large waist. neither
of which Is desirable. One i3 n
chronic gaseous condition in the In
Lestines. which distcnds the waist to
far beyond It's normal size. The other
IS the layer upon layer OF adiposc
tissue for which we give the shorter
word fat" that lie upon and about
the muscles Of the waist. Suppose
that you learn to-day how to reduce
the waist measure from the size
gained through either or both of
these means.

Manuel's Bride Is

Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.
BERLIN, Sept 29.-Mystery sur
rounding the illness of Princess Vic
toria of Hohenzollern, the three
weeks bride of former King Manuel
Of Portugal, was deepened to-day by
a telegram from Munich in which it
was rumored that she had tried to
end her life. This was closely follow
ed by another message containing an
emphatic denial. The Princess is still
under the care Of physicians at Mu-
Mich.
1t was first reported that she was
Ill of influenza; then came a report
that an operation of serious character
was necessary; next it was reported
foes of Manuel had poisoned his beau
tiful young bride. Finally came the
rumor OF attempted suicide.
The report of a disagreement be-
tween the former King and his bride,
which had been denied by Manuel,
we're strengthened this afternoon by
messages saying that Princess Victo-
ria is being removed to her fathers
estate at Sigmaringen. while Manuel
will soon return to London for the
