A correspondent writes me of loose flesh
forming below the eyes, just over the
cheek bone, and asks for remedy. This
trouble in a young woman is apt to in
dlcate some disturbance of the kidney or
bladder; this may not be serious but 1t
Is advisable to find out II such a condition
exists and remedy 1t. / advise drinking
pure water freely between meals; this
alone will sometimes cure q simple blad-
der irritation.
Now for local treatment. Cover the skin
around the eyes and below the eyes where
this trouble is appearing with a good skin
food. Lay the sides of the two fore
fingers nat against the sides of the face,
parallel with the line of the nose and
just back OF the eyes Now open and
close the eyes vigorously, letting the
fingers hip slowly backwards towards the
hair line. It should take about eight
winl0s for the fingers to reach the hair
line. This exercise will strengthen the
muscles about and under the eyes and.
as the muscles grow stronger, the loose
skin will disappear. Do this two minutes
twice a day.
After you have finished wipe on the
surplus cream and bathe about the eyes
with an astringent or very cold water.
This will aid IN the skin contraction.
Twice a week finish the treatment by

Toxin Of Fatigue.
A correspondent writes me that she has
been trying to reduce flesh by walking
Uu her shopping trips instead of taking q
car. and, in fact, walking everywhere
- goes with most discouraging results
she Ia so tired that every few days she
has to remain in bed. her face looks
drawn and abe has reduced her weight
hardly at all.
There are two interesting points to be
answered in this letter, the danger oi
over-fattgue and the fact that walking
aione Is not a good reduction exercise
Walking under proper conditions is good
general exercise; 1t promotes circulation
deep breathing, aids digestion and burns
up sufficient energy to prevent accumu
Iation of excess flesh. But walking IL

When workmen went to look after

The police and the coroner were
notified. and after DR.. Taylor viewed
the body an investigation was be-

found only q few matches and a
small pocket mirror, about two
inches in diameter. There are no
marks about the clothing, nor any

his four partners had retired from
thirty directorships in twenty-seven
of the strongest corporations In which
they were represented.

official capacity from the New Haven

can Telephone and Telegraph, three
of the leading interests. Further with
drawals are to follow from corpora
tions where there IL no special obli-
cation to remain. The opportunity Of
taking advantage of changed public

order to carry out their own preference
in the matter. is the reason for the
sweeping policy OF withdrawal from
