Our loss was 130 out Of a force Of

would practice such base treachery as
to conspire with the other States

Women don't expect to be artists
or musicians without practice and
study, but they apparently see moth
ing illogical about becoming beau
ties without effort.
Now beauty is just as much an
art as painting. Some women have
more talent for it than others, but
everyone is capable of a normal de-
velopmnt.
The old misstatement that beau
ties are born, not made, should no
longer be credited.
/ believe that facial massage is
one of the greatest aids to beauty,
and that it does more than any one
thing to give a woman a we'll
greomed, youthful appearance.
The right sort of massage pro-
notes the circulation, nourishes the
skin, improves the texture and
chases away the wrinkles that steal
youth.

Your Health
Happiness and EeaIth
(By DIR. X. Ii. Bishop

bltsflANSo III a
Happiness and health have been
found to be pretty good friends.
They work together wonderfully. So
remember. in your search for happi-
ness. that its good friend, health.
probably is just around the corner.
Happiness works on our health
in this way:
A happy state of mind permits the
expansion of small blood vessels, al
lowing fresh blood to flow easily
through them. 1t also affects the
nerves that control the lungs. They
inhale more air. which mean that
they get more oxygen, and this in
turn means that the blood is more
completely purified in the lungs. 1t
makes the heart beat more evenly
and this forces fresh blood rapidly
through the expanded blood vessels.
Rapidly moving blood gives rich
n~ourishment to nerve cell and mus
Gle, making 1t possible for them to
do good, energetic work. Lastly, a
happy state of mind makes the
stomach churn better and at the
same time more gastric juice pours
in to aid in digestion.
This explains why we do better
work when we are happy.
Happiness means thai every organ
Is doing it's best work, and the brain
gets the benefit of this through an
improved blood supply.
The human machine is so deli
cately balanced that, when the
smallest part of it fails, the entire
workings may halt. 1t is. like an
engine, no matter how perfect every
other part of it may be, IL one little
detail is broken, 1t cannot go on.
Many people have found that they
must be calm and serene at meal
time if they would retain their good
health. Thousands of cases have
from bad disposition and not a bad
disposition from a bad digestion, as
so many imagine.
