Exercise to Develop the
Throat, Neck and Bust

Girls who are inexperienced in the
matter of deep breathing do not real
ize that lung expansion, and using the
cords about the neck, will do won
ders, not only for the throat and neck,
but will also develop the bust
If you doubt the effect of full lungs
upon hollows of the neck you can dem
Onstrate it easily to your own satisfac-
ton. Just remove all tight clothing,
stays, ETC., and stand with barred neck
before a mirror. Then slowly inhale
through the nostrils until the lungs
are filled from the lowest part to the
top, and with the swelling of the up
per part of these organs, all angles
will disappear, for the hollows will be
filled out. If the habit of deep breath
ing can be acquired and regularly
practiced a great step toward beauty
is thus gained. Incidentally SO much
other physical benefit comes from this
habit that the entire system is i'm
proved.
During the exercises hold the chest
in correct military position and throw
the SHOulQ6TS Wen DdCh..
| have often heard dumbbells rec
commended as a valuable adjunct to
these exercises, but if the fists are
clenched and all work is done with
vigorous throw of the hands, az II
one were trying to fling them fror
the arms, nothing further is needed.
1t is only in this way, though, that
good will result in the exercise, for il
the work comes merely from the ell
bows it is useless. Try it, and you
will see that if the arms above the
elbow are not vigorously worked no
chest or neck cords are exercised.
Different individuals need different
treatment as to external applications.
From experience l have found this to
be true. Often / advise a certain To-
ton or cream to be used, and in some
cases results will prove very crafty
ing. while in others the women will
write me to say the lotion was abso-
Iutely no benefit to them at all. This
is mainly caused by different textures
of the skin. Some skins absorb what
is applied to them quite readily, while
others have to be massaged and
worked upon in order to make 1t SINK
in
| know a woman who declares that
she can make her neck plump in a
few weeks by massaging it every
night with warm almond oil and drink
ing a glass of two of milk before re-
firing. The same treatment might
suit others admirably, for almost any
kind of warm oil is certainly tissue
builder and in this state it absorbs
more readily and so feeds the pores.
Milk is also fattening.
A physician has recommended in
cases of thin neck, as from Ill health,
the taking of cod liver oil and direct
applications of good lotion to the
neck. The action of any application
is likely to be fastened if the skin
has been previously wet with hot
cloths for five or ten minutes to soften
and open the pores, which VIII then
have ever a greater power OF aDsorp-
ton.
A cream that has the reputation OF
filling out when persistently used is
made of half a gram of tannin, thirty
grams of lanoline and twenty grams
of sweet almond OIL Mix by break
ing the lanoline into bits and melt it
in a china cup set into a pan of hot
water. When you see 1t becoming
oily beat in the almond oil, then re-
move the cup from the water and
beat. At the first sign of cooling beat
in the tannin. When all is creamed
it is ready and is used as any other
massage cream.
If after following all directions for
applications you find that within a
reasonable time it does not absorb
as well as it should or in any other
way does not agree with your skin, 1t
is evident you need to change, and
another kind OF cream should be sub
stitui ed

age creams have all had their Draisss
