is remarkably simple II you follow
the plan outlined below.
Hold the arms out at the sides on
a level with the shoulders. Clench
the hands into a tight fist WITH
THE THUMB INSIDE THE FIST
not on the outside. BY placing the
thumb inside the fist the muscles
themselves are not worked as much
and so there Is less chance OF de-
veloping them. To eliminate fab
biness we simply want 20 shake off
any superfluous fat and tighten up
the loose muscles without override
velopment which would increase the
size or the arms while firmlng
them.
After the arm position has been
taken. hold the arms rigid and then
tremble them by shaking the tightly
clenched hands back and forth. keep
ing the actual action at the wrists.
You will see how this movement
shakes the loose flesh on the upper
arms and II you do this for three or
four minutes. several times each
DAY. the flabbiness will disappear
within a couple OF weeks.
At least once each day apply the
camphor and alcohol lotion which
will be given at the end Of this
article.
IL the arms are solid instead Of
flabby. a different method or pro-
cedure should be followed.
Smooth a liberal application OF
cleansing cream over the arms and
then pinch them gently. ut least five
minutes should be devoted 10 each
arm. then after removing the cleans
ing cream. apply the canphor and
Alcohol lotion.
The fat cells must be broken down
when the arms are too large. but

"Pinching" for Arm Beauty

girls and women would like 10 have.
their arms more rounded. but in the
majority OF cases such thinness
needs 10 be corrected all over the
body. However. many women have
upper arms that are a bit too large
when the rest OF their body is per-
fectly proportional and II Is with
this problem that we will deal first.
IL is definitely understood that
the upper arms must be firm for
beauty. Flabbiness not only bespeaks
inactivity but tends to add years to
ones appearance. Therefore. fiab-
biness must be corrected and IN do
ing so many OF you will find that
the tightening up OF the muscles
and skin eliminates the oversize

f~labbiness usually occurs on the

The Woman sitting alone in the
upper room was startled-for just
as the door began to swing on its
hinges, she was thinking of one
who would never enter it again,

She looked up quickly-but
there was no one at the door.

she went to the door and looked
down the passage.
There was no one there.
And there was no n on the
stairs or in any Of the adjoining
rooms, although the Woman looked
most carefully.
"That's queer" said the woman
and she shut the door and went
back to her seat by the window.
But in q minute there was a
light step on the stairs and a gay
voice in the hall and a light knock
at the door, and this time there
was someone there.
A gay, light hearted. laughing
someone with a pair Of dancing
black eyes, and n smile that said,
love me a little-I love you a
lot"
And the Woman drew d deep,
tremulous breath of relief for she
had been thinking strange thoughts
as she sat there alone in the upper
chamber.

the Woman.
"Oh, five or ten minutes ago.

important experiments in cases of skin tuber-
culcsis seem to have brought gratifying results
through the use Of ultraviolet radiation. Special
lamps, known as quartz mercury vapour lamps
and carbon arc lamps were used.
The rays are applied to as large an area as
possible. Not only is the affected part flooded
with the light, but also the doctors have given
general treatments of the body.
In the treatment of some diseases of the
mouth, throat and nasal passages, the rays have
been applied. II has been generally recognized
that ailments of the mucous membranes are less
satisfactory to deal with than those of the skin.
This may be because they are much more diff
ficult TO reach.
The germs of tuberculosis, in the majority of
cases, it is probable, enter through the nose.
They are then snread to other narts of the hndv
