 BEAUTY LESSON
LESSON XIII-PART l Excessive Thinness

Excessive thinness is more difficult to treat. as a rule, than obesity, for it is generally the result of mal-as : similatiou, which is really disease. Food reduction will mitigate or en- tirely euro most cases of obesity, but to increase food consumption is by no means an efficaciovs method of treat ing thinness. Mal-assimilation may re- suit from many causes; when such cases are obstinate and accompanied by weakness a diagnosis should be made by skilled physician and a regime laid cut and followed
 There are other cases where appar- ently healthy women fall below the average Tn weight; in such cases the cause can often be found and treated.
 Nerves and Worry
 We must remember that there is nothing moro dependent on the mental attitude than the process of digestion. Nervousness, worry, over-excitement have a direct and quick reflection in the digestive fluids. The body is not a machine governed only by physical laws; If 1t were go, all people would profit by the same regime. which we know is not the case.
 Starch and Sugar
 Most regimes outlined for flesh ac- cumulation lay stress on increasing the consumption of starch and sugar. As has been already pointed out, these are flesh-producing foods. but. unfortu- nate1y, they are not always easily di- gested, and in such cases do more harm than good. Most thin people have delicate or capricious digestive ap- paratus and to oyerburden this would probably bring about dyspepsia. which would result in decreased rather than increased flesh.
 The first step in overcoming thin ness therefore, Is to- overcome dfffi- culties in digestion. If such Is the result of nervousness, overcome this; If 1t comes from overwork. rest and sleep more: if from improper food, find out just what kind of food best agrees with you ard limit your diet to this. Tn the next article will give . regime that has proven very successful with pupils suffering from undue thinness. 5 Lesson XIII to be continued.

The latter produced one from his pocket. showed it and was asked To hold it tightly In his hand. The jugrler was seated on his carpet about six feet away from the missionary.

Physioqnomy.

Lavater was not the first to write upon the science of physiognomy Great and lasting as were Lavater's contributions to the science" he was ny no means the first in the field. The first systematic treatise on physiogno- my is that attributed to the wonderful old Greek. Aristotle. Aristotle seemed to have thought of pretty nearly every thing. and among the rest of things he thought of was physiognomy, the art of reading the character from the face. His six chapters on the subject, are still very interesting reading.-New York American.
