Germs health and hygiene
Indeed, I :lavc noticed particularly
that, as was proved by the thousands
of women who have attended the lectures
have been giving AT Selfrldge's, the
woman over here is greatly, interested IN
anything that pertains TO hygiene. Shc

good health means-a "oman's good
looks. a woman's correct figure. and
wonsn's gay spirits.
Love Of Bright Colors.
I have noticed too. that EuglishV ON
on seem 10 favor brighter colors than
their American cousins. This seems due
10 the fact that the women on the other
side arc somewhat sturdter. and therefore
favor black or dark dress fabrics.
One Of my main rea sons for coming TO
necessity for proper corseting. During
my practice as physician, and as the
result of the hundreds OF lectures ! have

Of the physical woes OF women are the
results of careless or perniCious corsetins.

Some women are always complaining,
always frowning, and always telling their
neighbors that they arc full OF aches
You may take II that their troubles are
due TO corsets. They arc the kind of
women whose husbands seek the aid OF
the divorce tribunal.

Experience tells me that the corset

Era Of the Large Waist.
This is the era OF tho large waist and

lieved OF mucn Superfluous weight.
AS to the perfect figure, uncorseted my
ideal measurements are

this article without word OF warning
regarding freak dances. SO far most OF
the opposition has concerned tho moral

dances are physically bad as well as
| morally bad
The turkey trot. tho bunny hug, the
! tango. and all other dances of the rag
time species, are the cause OF poor f1g
ureS. while they also cause deformities.
| The positions of the hips in these exhibi-

organs. They throw the whole body out

| The moral is: Jf YOU wish TO have A
| good figure, don't tango. snd refrain from
| ractime dances. Ragtime and tango
| dances would demoralzc the figure OF a
| Greek goddess and transform her 10 the
