say there are certain drugs that ale
harmless. One should think twice
before resorting to the latter. Many
lives have been sacrificed by the TAX

scrupulous persons.
Not long ago we read of treatment
that is simple and seems harmless.
We will state what it is, but Mrs. B.

Nearly every one knows the value
of the stretching exercise for waist
and hip reductions. AS a general
thing feshy people will not stick to
anything long enough to reduce and
thin people will give up before they

Stretching Exercise-Stand with
the heels together, toes pointing out
little stand straight and stretch
the arms and hands up over the head
as far as you can, rising on tip toes
as you do it; then bend over and
touch the floor with the finger tips,
stretching all you can with every
movement.
Another-Take position as above,
place hands on hips, bend backward
and forward as far as possible, keep
ing the backbone straight all the time.
Do these regularly night and morn

and strengthens the back and makes
the waist supple for do them myself
and am sure it would reduce as we'll.
