Reducing the Hips
Dear Miss Doom

Dear Miss Doom:
Having successfully carried out your
suggestions, come to you again for
advice. Is there a way to reduce
large hips? Mine are very big and
make my dresses look clumsy / am
16 years old. Hoping you can help
me, and thanking you in advance,
WORRIED.
There is nothing like exercise to
reduce flesh. The following method
of reducing the hips Is said to be ex-
cellent. When beginning 1t one should
be careful to get used to 1t very
gradually, as it puts a great strain
upon the muscles and Is liable to
make one lame, as from horseback
ride:
One should lie extended upon the
floor, supporting ones self by one
hand, while the other is played upon
the hip. While holding this position,
raise the body gradually from the
floor until the whole weight Is sup
ported by the hand and feet. 1t Is
comparatively easy to get the body
from the floor as far as the knees.
but to bring it up to the full extent
is not easy at first and requires
patient practise. Try the exercise
first on one side and then on the other.

A FoOt-Scraper

The fall days will bring their share
of mud and dirt which is always
trying to the neat housewife. One
of the standard foot scrapers de-
serves to be better known. 1t con-
slsts of small grating, on each
side of which is stiff and good
ibristle brush. AS the foot Is rubbed
across the crater, the sides of the
shoe are brushed with the brushes,
so that superhuous mud is brushed
off, The scraper can be attached to
any porch or step, and will save its
price in short time.

Alcohol Lamps

There are many improvements now
seen over the old style and ofttimes
dangerous alcohol lamps. The i'm
proved kinds sit on little stands and
have improved burners, of the gen
orator" model, which generate gas
from the alcohol
These lamps are often large enough
to be called table stoves. When fitted
with various kinds of hot plates they
can be used for coffee percolators

tractive pans used in electric cook

question of just how and what rag
to use. A little novelty is being

ter the fashion of a brush, but can
be easily removed and cleaned. The

The Oldest Newspaper
DEAR Margery Doom :

Dear Margery Doom:
Please, to settle an argument, tell
me what was the oldest newspaper In
the world and where 1T was published.
Also, If you know, will you tell me
when the first newspapers were pub
lished in England and America, and
oblige ARGUMENT.
In ancient Rome an official gazette
called the Aeta Diurna was issued
under the management of the gov
eminent, and posted up daily in some
prominent place in the city. The first
daily newspaper in England WAS pub
lished in 1909, and there was news
paper published in Boston in 1890.
