Watches Herself Punch the Bag.
Miss Russell lectured while her life
bag with all the skill Of 7. n z. A
physical director.
Every woman could be and should
be beautiful from the cradle 10 the
grave she said But if through the
fault Of others she IS not beautiful
when she is Is, IL is her own fault if
she is not beautiful when she is 40.
There is no disgrace IN using cold
cream. lotions and powder. Even the
men do that 1t used to be that a man
who wanted his hands manicured got
out of sight ashamed to have any one
see him. But now every barber shop has
its manicurist 1t has its cold cream,
its powder, its lotions for the men.
You should keep the mind free from
all guilt That is the first rule OF
beauty and health Look into your
mind as you would into your mirror
not with admiration, but with criticism
The second rule Of health IS eNer-
else. Whether 1t be In the form OF
walking, riding, roller skating or danc-
ing. exercise must be kept up Idleness
is the root Of all uSliness.
THE third rule is diet. That doesn't
mean starvation It means three good
meals day and plenty OF water IN be-
tween. The fourth rule is sleep Every

'I am going to beat old Father Time"
Miss Russell cOnfided- I am going to
hand you back One-third of your life.
The normal person sleeps eight or more
out of every "A hours- During that
time life IS deferred Therefore you
have a right to deduct it from your
age. If the calendar says 45 years,
you have lived so

evil thoughts. Throw away the preJu-
dices, selfishness and anger. Then TN

IF you really want to be young, eL-
ercise- There Is nothing so aging as

Miss Russell thus summed up her
cardinal rules for long life and
healthy one:
Science, which is ours if we grasp 1t;
beautiful form that we may be led to
follow it, and good common sense the
keynote Of which is always simplicity
