For Top-Heavy Figures.

Milady's figure Is often one OF her
greatest beauty problems. II 1t Is too
thin or too stout, her clothes do not
hang becomingly and she cannot wear
fashionably short skirts without feeling
self-conscious about the ungraceful lines
of her legs. There Is type of figure
also that combines the disadvantages
of both the fat and the lean. The upper
part of this figure is too large in pro-
portion to the lower part. Thighs and
calves need developing. while the hips,
abdomen and back need reducing, FIRE.
quently a woman of this type Is neither
overweight nor underweight for age and
height, but her flesh Is uneVenly dis
tributed.
Hers is a difficult problem, because IL
she follows the usual reducing program,
including diet and strenuous exercise,
she becomes thin in the face and limbs
where she really needs more curves
What she needs is a few exercises that
are designed especially for correcting
her defects. These will be chiefly trunk
bending and twisting movements. Here
are some exercises suitable for her pur-
pose:
Exercise 1--Kneel down on the right
knee. with the left leg stretched out in
front, with knee slightly bent, so that
the foot may be braced firmly on the
floor. Raise arms above the head and
swing the upper part of the trunk back
ward. Feel the pull of the muscles al
down the front Slowly raise trunk tc
erect position and repeat exercises four
to six times This is fine for reducing
the pad of fat under the bust, and also
the abdomen.
Exercise 2-Stand erect. with arms
out at shoulder level Without moving
the hips. twist the trunk as far as you
can to the right. Bend the trunk, raise
it and twist around to the front again
Repeat six times to each side.
Exercise Stand erect, bend for
ward and swing hands between the legs
Raise and repeat slowly four to siS

Chin Lines.

IL you haven't nice chin line-~long,
firm, smooth. curving from the chin
around and down into the throat--then
get busy at once and improve yourself.
A good chin line will make an otherwise
poor profile pretty: bad one will ruin
the prettiest side face.
You can improve the chin line by
exercise. Throw the head back as far
as Is comfortable Let the mouth sag
open. and when the head Is far back
close the mouth slowly This pulls on
all those muscles, chin and throat. too,
and Is very good for sagging flesh and
double chin.
Another exercise--or perhaps should
not call It that's to slap the chin
fairly hard. for ten minutes day at
least, either with the back of the four
fingers or with a rubber "patter," These
patters are sold In shops for dollar
and something up TO So: an awful price
considering their intrinsic value, but
not so bad when you consider the good
they may do to you,
They are usually fiat disks OF rubber
on flexible but very thick wire, with
handle. and they can be slapped
against the face easily and produce a
certain tingling beneficial TO the skin,
They do stimulate the skin. and In the
case Of woman just beginning To lose
her chin line they will do lot toward
pushing back and keeping back the lax
muscles. Also they'll help to scatter fat
that collects In pocket under the chin.

II you can't afford one, however. use
your fingers.
Still another valuable thing Is Ice.
Take large piece~~a piece that Is about
the size OF a cake of soap. Hold it in
a cloth, because 1t will be too cold for
your hand. but use the ice itself directly
against the skin. Rub and rub and rub
under the chin line. and when the skin
has had enough OF the cold. rub over
the face and come back to the chin
again. DO this 10 minutes daily.
Miss +. K~-If you have the hair re-
moved by electric treatments, you will
find that the electric needle with
treatment for each separate hair Is the

done. Most women use the tweezers

| May %. misunderstanding figures re-
that 100000 volunteers to date have
taken the oath of allegiance to support
the United States Government in the
war with Spain. The House of Repre-
SentativeS today passed bill to pay the
volunteer soldiers from the time of their
enlistment
1t is officially denied that Gen. Miles
has opposed the prompt invasion of
Cuba, The invasion is expected to be-
gin in a few days with about 10000
troops. The State Department denied
today q report that Italy has protested
against our blockade of Cuban ports.
Word came today that the District
Volunteer Regiment arrived this morn
ing at Chicamauga Park. None is on
the sick list. II was announced at the
War Department that Col. j. S. Fettit
will recruit a regiment from residents
of the District. Maryland. West Virginia
and North Carolina. composed of men
who are immune from contagious and
infectious diseases for service in Cuba
against the Spaniards.
The Senate spent part OF the day
discussing the war revenue bill and 1t
was announced at the Treasury Depart
ment that preparations are being made
for the collection of tariff duties in the
Philippine Islands.
There is present in official quarters
here strong impression that news will
son come regarding the hostile fleets
In the Caribbean Sea. 1t is believed
that Admiral Cerveras coal supply is
about exhausted and that his plight
win soon be serious
The Navy Department is keeping
silent as to the whereabouts of the
American and Spanish fleets. 1t is
not known whether Admiral Cervera's
feet has left the harbor of Santiago de
Cuba, but. If 1t has. 1t is supposed to be
in the vicinity of Cienfuegos. although
one report is that 1t is bound for st.

coal. Commodore Schley's feet is now
believed to be near Santiago on the
lookout for the Spanish feet Admiral
Simpsons powerful SQUADRON Is thought
to be near enough to Commodore Schley
TO render him immediate assistance in

Altogether the United States has
about 60 ships of all classes cruising in

be impossible for them to remain In

Spotted Ladies.


Usually in every circus side show
there are the so-called spotted ladies.
You've seen them. There were two in
the last circus I attended: they were
colored girls, with irregular splotches
of pure white all over them.
This condition is known as leuco-
derma (leuco white; derna - skim.
The showladies are very extreme cases.
In slight form leucoderma is not un-
common. I have many requests TO
write on the condition.
The text books say the cause of the
disease is not known. 1t may be due
to a disturbance of the internal Secre-
tory glands, or 1t may be due to dis
turbance of the nerve supply to the
parts Whatever it is. something has
happened to prevent the normal amount
of skin pigment development in these
patches. Occasionally they will have
little more pigment than Is normal
around the spot.
We are finding more and more that
many obscure disorders are due to de-
ficient diets, so 1t may be possible that
this disease will finally be shown to
be in this list We know that deficient
diets can profoundly affect the nerves.
glands and all the tissues. All known
rules for good health must be exer-
cised. including physical check-up by
competent physician.
Now III tell you little about all
opposite condition to leucoderma-and
that Is chloasma
Chloasma is a term applied to in
creased pigmentation in spots on the
skin. These spots are variously shaped
and sized and are yellowiSh, brownish
or blackish. There Is no elevation OF
the skin and the surface usually re-
mains smooth. They generally shade
of gradually into the normal surround
ing skin.
The face Is usually the site for the
common variety although spots may
be found occasionally on the trunk and
other parts
