are lowered. Disease germs, which we
could successfully combat under normal
circumstances, become effective, and we
become in consequence III. @
With Miss Fitziu the getting rid Of q
pound day for thirty days was q purely
"business propositiSn." To be effective in
the role she desired TO sing she had to
reduce, and the risks she took in the rapid
reduction were, in way, legitimate bust
ness risks. In doing It the prima donna
showed the same tenacity, perseverance
and strength Of will that has marked her
career, both on the grand opera stage
and In her rornAnces.
Little more than q decade ago Miss
Fitziu was petted little member Of "The
Wizard of Or" company. She was Anna
Fitxhugh then and had won success as q
singer and dancer.
One evening the Count de Segurola,
the Metropolitan grand opera signer Of
exceeding dignity was brought to the
table where she sat with a party of
friends IN the restaurant. q.
Don't let this kind Of thing count with
you," he said. "It means nothing. Aim
at the heights, my child" ~.
Eight years after that meeting her
abandonment Of more trivial musical
comedy, her nrdu0us studies In Europe,
her slnGle-heartedn won their reward.
Slowly de Segufola discovered that he re-
turned her love. They became engaged.

heart. When their engagement was q

organs. But raising the legs land allow
ing the knees to relax slightly takes away
this strain. The toe wiggle supplies the
fat-reducing qualities lost by avoiding the
uncomfortable rigidity.
The exercise describede should be done
twenty-five times ut frst. II should be
added 10 Ave times each day. Il should be
gone through again In identically the same
manner before going TO sleep, In Miss
Fitsiu's case, where Il was necessary to
lose q certain number Of pounds within
. certain time, the number Of times the
wigRle u done was increased. Further
more, instead Of limiting Il to morning
and evening". she went through it two or
three times during the day.
Just why the wiegle Of the toes should
have the peculiar effects upon the whole
body, that y apparently has is not very

donna, among the German experts n one

A variation of the ''wiggle-toe" "a also
prescribed In the case Of full blooded"
persons In danger Nof apoplexy. This
variation consists of lying fiat pon the
back, raising the legs slightly and alter,
rateiy, say six inches above the bed, and
vigorously turning frst one foot and then
the other round and round, AZ the same
time wiggllng the toes in what seems q
frantic manner. This has been prescribed
by European physicians to relieve conges-
ton in the head and check an incipient
stroke Of apoplexy.
