Health Hints
By Bernarr Macfadden.

III any one of the spinal vertebrae
is displaced in the slightest degree 1t
very often presses upon the spinal
cord or impinges either the motor or
sensory nerve which energies from
the spinal cord at that point, and as a
result some part of the body is af-
fected by this pressure. Paralysis
for instance, can be easily caused by
pressure Of this kind. Even where
the complaint is not of such a serious
nature, a comparatively slight amount
of pressure affecting one or more
nerves is liable to lessen their eff
cheney and thus cause partial paral-
ysiS, and so prevent the particular
part to which the nerves are con-
nected from working properly
Strengthening the spine will there
fore, as you can readily realize, rem
edy serious defects of this nature. In
osteopaths largely proceed. They main
tain that a properly formed spine Is
absolutely necessary to the enjoy
ment of the highest degree Of health,
and that If any of your organs is not
properly performing its functions, the
be located in the spine. When one or
more of the vertebrae are misplaced
or pressing upon the nerves within
the spinal column they are 1essening
the efficiency of the particular parts
controlled by these nerves.
Now in moving the body IN any di-
rection there is a certain amount OF
movement of the spinal column.
Whenever You move in any direction
the spinal column bends in accord
ance with the posture of the body. 1t
is this bending back and forth and
from side to side that gives this par
ticular part of the body the necessary
use required to keep it in a satisfac-
tory degree Of health. The spinal col
umn is bound together with tendinous
tissues. Over and surrounding this
are the muscles that help to hold In
in place. The bending Of the spine in
various directions strengthens not only
the ligaments and tendons, but the
muscles. The proper use of any part
of the body adds to its general vigor.
and if any of the vertebrae should be
misplaced the vigorous use of the
muscles around the spinal column,
the strengthening of the ligaments
and muscles, finally forces the mis-
placed vertebrae into proper position.

Leopard Fur ON Wide-Brim Hats
BY MARY MARSHALL.

There are some women who have an
innate fondness for leopard skin.
Whether 1t happens to be in fashion
or not, they banker after it. Who
knows but this is indicative of some
thing of the wild feline quality in
their natures? Perhaps our natural
likes and dislikes. in furs might be
taken to indicate something in our
temperament
The woman who likes squirrel may
be by nature thrifty. energetic and
inquisitiVe. There may be something
yielding and docile about women who
prefer caracal or any of the lamb
peltries. 1t really is a wonder that
some one hasn't come along with a
system of character reading based on
natural predictions in furS. 1t would
be quite as sensible as some of the
other systems of character analysis.
There are still, no doubt, many
women who are wearing leopard skin
because they have a prediction for
it; more there are, no doubt, who are
wearing il because il has suddenly
come into fashion. They would never
have thought of it if, somehow or
other, Paris furriers. milliners and
dresSmakers had not put 1t over this
winter. Now it becomes evident that

Is the peltry of a tropical animal and
Is not very thick.
One of the furriers is showing pam
ther coats-but the distinction be-
tween panther and the leopard is too
subtle to register with the average
woman. What is the difference, any
way? One Of these panther coats is
hip length with red leather cuffs and
reverS and notched collar. The red
leather in turn is edged with brown
suede. Another of these panther coats
is combined with beaver. Still an
other furrier combines leopard with
red fox. Often the tables are turned
and some other peltry is trimmed with
leopard. Seal is especially effective
when so trimmed.
But il is as d trimming for the

BEAUTY CHATS
A Red Nose.

There are three causes for a red
nose: Skin trouble, tight clothes that
interfere with the circulation of the

The commonest and the hardest diff

stomach trouble bad enough TO make
the blood so thick and impure that it
congests in the nose must be very
bad indeed, and it will take a long
time to go away.
There is an ointment, however.
which has been frequently recon-
mended for a red nose. 1t follows:
Powdered sulphur, 1 dram; powdered
starch, pa ounces; zinc oxide oint-

nothing but laundry starch that you
can easily powder for yourself by
crushing some Jumps in fold of

Zinc oxide ointment is we'll known
skin antiseptic used for treating q

while the perfumed oil merely does

This is not a cure-all. but il has
helped hundreds Of cases OF stubborn
red nose, especially when precautions
were taken as to diet, etc. Nothing
will help a red nose IL the cause is
pinching eyeglasses, except to change
to some form that does not hold so
tightly to the bridge of the nose. You
have constant Irritation and a con-
stant pressure on the blood vessels sup
plying the nose.
Anything that stimulates the circu-
lation of the blood reduces redness OF
the nose. Therefore exercise and loose
clothing are to be recommended. Any
thing which stimulates the circulation
locally, such as massage, also helps.
Kiki-As you state that you need
to reduce the bust and the hips, possi-
bly, you are too stout all over, and a
general reduction through the diet
would be best for you.
. An exercise for the hips is to lie fiat
on floor, place arms high up over
head and then roll to right and then to
lett as many times each way as pos
sible without getting dizzy. FOR the
bust, place hands on hips and turn
back the elbows as far as you can,
while all the time you stretch the
muscles of the chest and bust Bring
elbows forward and backward with

WHAT TODAY MEANS
TO YOU.
BY MARY BLAKE.

Aries.
All endeavors should meet with
great success and encouragement to-
day. as the aspects are Of excellent
influence and very beneficial in a
number of ways. Friendships will
be made which will endure q life
time. Take the full measure of en-
joyment that the day has to offer.
A child born today will be delicate
but, with proper care and good en-
vironment. will lead a happy and
long life.
If today is your birthday anniyer-
sary. your disposition is an extremely
happy one, and you have friends ga
lore, VINO love and envy you. You
are thoughtful and kind, and radiate
affection wherever you may be.
Your character is light, disappoint-
ments do no embarraSs you, success
does not elate you. You have few, if
any, hidden depths; you are open and
aboveboard: you are not a thinker or
dreamer; you take life as it comes,
and always maintain an external de-
meanor of supreme happiness that
makes friends for you wherever
you go.
In your love affairs you will prob
ABLY not be as constant as others of
a more serious character, nor will
you allow the weaknesses of others,
for whom you care. to cause you very
much worry.
In business. you will succeed more
through the sympathy and support of
your friends than through your own
efforts You set very little store by
money, and are rather inclined to let
the future take care of itself.
You are generous to fault, both
to yourself and to others. You are
never happy alone, but always seek
the companionship OF others.
In your home life, the breezy air
that characterizes you will often OBJ
viate family jars and disputes, and
the magnetism of your presence can
convert a gloomy atmosphere into
Lone of merriment.
Take no thought of tomorrow" is
a happy rule to follow, provided only
your own interests have to be con-
sidered: no one can, however, live an
isolated life. and while a happy-go-
lucky disposition has its advantages.
1t also has its drawbacks.

One of the provisions to which in

Bonds are divided into two classes.

The buyer knows just what he is get

in the agreement a clause giving
them the right to retire the issue
