Exercise to Develop the
Throat, Neck and Bust

Girls who are inexperienced in the
matter of deep breathing do not real
lie 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.
II you doubt the effect of full lungs
upon hollows of the neck you can dem
onstrate 1t easily to your own satisfac-
ton. Just remove all tight clothing,
stays, etc, and stand with barred neck
before a mirror. Then slowly inhaie
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 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
the shoulders well back.
have often heard dumbbeils rec
commended as valuable adjunct to
these exercises. but If the fists are
clenched and all work is done with a
vigorous throw OF the hands, as If
the arms, nothing further is needed.
II is only in this way, though. that
good will result in the exercise, for II
the work comes merely from the ell
bows 1t 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 | have found this to
be true. Often I 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-
lutely 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 1t 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 will then
have even a greater power OF absorp-
