dispatch from Rome, published in the Ne
braska City Daily Press of Aug. 81, says:
The body (of the dead pope) probably will be
taken direct to St. Peters the third day. The
ratings and gates of the Chapel Of the Sacrament
will be closed, but the feet of the dead pope will
extend outside, they may be kissed by the
thousands of worshipers. The body will remain
in the Chapel of the Sacrament three days.
Now can you understand why the kissing
Of dead Italians foot should be a part of
anv sane Americans religion?

elected by the secret conclave Of appointed
Italians. one of the first of the monkey doings
that followed was the kissing of his feet

One simple exercise consists in
thrusting the head forward, not up
ward, but straight out, an increasing
number Of times every day. This fills
out the muscle and reduces fat. In
most gases this will keep double chin
at bay for a long time, but there are
other things to be attended to.
The skin should be bathed, rubbing
gently downward, with an astringent.
Lemon juice, toilet vinegar, lavender
cologne and also alcohol are all astrin-
gent, and the first-class manufacturers
of toilet articles put up cosmetics es-
pecially intended to reduce abnormal
chins.
A good many women have a habit of
doubling their chins into their .necks
when they read or sew. This tends to
double the chin and also to occasion an
ugly crease up into the sides of the
cheek Others have side teeth drawn,
and this leaves hollows in the cheek,
which increase as the Jaws contract
and adds to the depth of line extending
up into the cheek and lends emphasis
to the double chin. Teeth should never
be extracted if it is possible to avoid
it, and if people only exercised little
care they would never be required to
lose their teeth. Teeth are necessary
to good cheek and chin outlines.
Besides the exercise and astringent
lotions the chin may be massaged
downward with an electric rubber vi
orator, which tones up the muscle, skin
and tissue and reduces fat if used fire.
quently enough. Massage with the
hand, in a rotary motion, beginning at
the tip of the chin and sides of the
cheek and working downward, will al
so help to prevent and reduce double
chins and keep that portion of the
throat youthful and we'll formed.

Illuminated signs of Piccadilly Circus,
