 The first symptoms of oNerfet ness. Miss SummeIvi!le declares, are ! urOwsiness, heaviness and de~lt, to sleep. Then, in little brcc'.urt entitled "Why Be Fat?" recently 'S- sued by the Frederick A. stokes company, she goes on to say that among other things she followed five rules of health, which she enumei. ates as follows:
 Be careful Of what you eat and how much you eat. Don't overfeed eat less than you crave rather than more, and never eat until you are distressed. The first effect of less of weight through dieting. she says, / is one of mental collaboration. Do not sleep too much; it is not good Tor the brain. Too little sleep ! IS tt'ttl tildll loo HluSll
 Take exercise regularly. Walking is possible for everyone. and il is one of the best exercises in the world; after that, swimming; both of these exercises bring every mus cie of the body into play ani make and keep a figure slender
 Bathe in tepid water-not hot un. less so ordered by physician Never leave the tub too waln; leave with a rough towel to cause circula. tion.
 Clothe yourself comfortably an sensibly Do not wear tight shoes or tight corsets or tight clothes of any kind Especially do not tighten the neck in any way, for it impedes circulation.
