BEAUTY SECRETS OF
GIRL WHO MEASURES UP TO VENUS!
By Martha Throop

Beauty and perfect health are two gifts within reach of any woman who really wants them!
 I make that bold statement because have changed my own body from that of a thin, weak, scrawny child at 13 to perfect health, and propor- ions that artists tell me are practically the same as that of the famous Venus de Milo,
 They say that Venus was the ideal of woman's physical perfection.
 I do not claim to be beautiful, but 1 know that my weight, height, and gen eral measurements are practically the same as hers, and I DO know that any average woman could have the same physical development by athletics and physical training.
 Venus was five feet two inches tall, and weighed 130 pounds the artist and archeologistg have decided. l am five feet, one and three -fourths inches tall and weigh f30 pounds. When I was 13 l was thin and weak I began to take vocal lessons and my teachers taught me how to breathe. gained strength, weight. and color so fast, 1 decided there must be good tlGeIi CA d4tiC III NA9S anu et-AllCN.N' and so I went in for exercise strong. My brother Dick, who has been in the navy four years helped me He taught me all sorts of settins-up exer- cises, and also taught me how to box and row.
 l But the first and most important lesson for the girl who seeks beauty by the sure road of exercise is | BREATHing.
 On proper breathing depends all the first steps toward beauty and strength.
 Take breathing exercises for 15 min utes every morning until you have es- abolished the habit of correct breath ing.
 Fifteen minutes on any one physical exercise is enough. Don't over do it
 Do your breathing exercises in the open air or at an open window.
 Don't wear any clothing that will restrict you.
 Hold your arms in the position shown in the picture. You will notice the shoulders are raised. Always Tiff your shoulders before you start to in- hale. Lift your shoulders then fill your lungs with air. Then eXhale quickly and repeat.
 This sort of thing develops the arms | and shoulders as well as gives you { bigger chest expansion.

DEATH IN BIBLICAL NOTES

The first woman letter writer on record was Queen Jezebel, wife of Ahab. and she used her pen for the purpose of deception. The story is told in Kings, 5:1O. When Ahab was mourning because he could not obtain Naboth's vineyard by fair means, Jezebel conceived of foul ones. "So she wrote letters in Ahab's name and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, and that dwelt with Naboth." They suggesed a plot which resulted in the death of Naboth by stoning.
 An earlier letter mentioned in the Bible was written by a man and was equally detestable. When we remem- ber the contents and the purpose of David's letter to Job, how it did for Uriah What Jezebel did for Naboth and from dirtier motive. we could have wished to this too that it had never been preserved.
 The writing of letters has proved to he disastrous to more than one man and they have brought downfall tc many. Every one should be careful of what they write Good letters, like good thoughts, bring back good things

 In the days when ready prepared meats have reached an extravagant price, many thrifty housewife-with an eye for the picnic sandwich. and the cold meat supper-has found it wise to purchase a whole ham and do the required boiling or baking in her home kitchen,
 Boiled ham, bought by che pound, costs fro m60 to D cents, while a smoked ham to be cooked at home, can be bought at from ? to 40 cents a pound A considerable saving is thus made by buying a 10 or F pound ham, preparing it at home. and thus obtain ing a summers supply of ready-to- serve and delicious meat.
 According to an old Virginia recipe for boiling hams the method is as fol- lows:
 Immerse the ham in water the night before cooking and soak for 12 or IA hours Wash off thoroughly in luke warm water. Put the ham 10 cook skin side down, in a large boiler full of boiling water. Add one cupful ot sugar and vinegar. Lower the heat under the boiler and let the meat sim mer for five hours, keeping the boiler covered.

Dr. Florence N. Richards, medics
 director of the William Penn High School for Girls in Philadelphia, spoke recently on social problems at the State Federation of Women's Clubs of New Jersey. She shocked and considerably irritated her hsten- CTS by confning her remarks almost exclusively to condemnation of cur rent styles of women's dress. She stated that mothers should be pun lshed who let their daughters wear gowns that expose the shoulders and that spooning, the new dances, the bathing suits and the decollete gown are symptoms of an immoral era.

When can an American family afford to keep a maid?7
 In these days of universal economy or NEED for eeonomy-that is a per tinent question which every business like housewife must ask herself before she decides that she must have help with the work"
 As a. business proposition keeping a maid is a luxury for the very few an extravagance for all families who could not freely and frankly be classed as rich"
 1. Modern economists have figured the actual money cost of keeping a maid thus.
 Wages-at S5 to s7 per week,
 for a. month. h.---.------.---..$Z $ZO-Sz6 Room-at S3 per week. for a
 month lZ-VO Board-at $4 per week, for a

 etc.5 per month. 5.6o
 Total .......---.........--. S53.60
 At this estimate the cost of main taining maid for single year maounts to $643.20. Yet many fami- lies with an income of $2,000 a year think they can afford, that their social position demands they keep a maid.
 Tn addition 10 the bare living costs estimated above are the other costs in volved in gifts and vacations to the maid, 10 care and loss of time during her possible illness, and to the in- creased cost traeeable to the. more ex- travagant standards of living which accompany Keeping a maid" Obvi-
