Counterfeit Bad Men.

all you will see is a poor counterfeit.

business OF keeping out OF the public

Deep Breathing and Water Drinking Is an Ettecfire, HeaIthtul
Way TO Reduce.
By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON

FAITHFUL reducing means
normalizing the size or the
body. SO today I'm going to
tell how to reduce in a healthful.
safe way; and the fact that this
method will give you q lovely com
plexion too. Is only incidental.
You see the normal body hasn't
fatty pouches any more than liz has
depleted muscles and tissues. In the
normal body the bone structure is
firmly and healfhfulIy padded with
muscles. tissues and a little fat, but
IL Is so cleverly done that firmly
rounded, but compact contours form
the distinguishing features OF the
body.
or course. you've heard lots about
and exercising for bringing
about a normal physical condition,
but did you know that such simple
as deep breathing. the
drinking OF sufficient water and the
proper elimination OF impurities

The reasons for this are basic and

same economic sense In handling her
body that she uses in buying food
or equipment FOR her house.
We don't buy and store away
dozens OF heads OF lettuce when only
one Is required for the day, with pos

unexpected guests. That would be
wasteful because lettuce disinte-

Yy HE blue bird Of happiness-just another name for content
ment. For contentment is happiness, and the sooner we
- all recognize that vital fact, the happier we and the world
will become. We do not mean that you should not be ambitious,
that you should not try to climb, to reach out for the better things
of life: We mean just that you should be contented with your
lot in life rather than constantly dwell on the possession and APP
parent good fortune of someone else. We say apparent" adj
vlsedly. For beautiful clothes, money, a fine home, magnificent
Jewelry do not always mean happiness. We have seen a beauti-
fully gowned woman gaze wistfuly after a poorly dressed boy
and girl whose faces were aight with love. We have seen a
prominent and wealthy business man look longir CIV at his en-
ployes as they planned their vacations or snapped stories CT
pleasant weekends at the beach or in the country. For nothing il
life is ever quite perfect.
Would you be truly beautiful? Then be contented and you
will be truly lovely. If your hair be the color Of spun gold, your
eyes as blue as California skies, your skin az peaches and cream,
your features classically chiselled, all those attributes will avail
you little, t a frown of discontentment mars the silky smoothness
of your forehead, or a suNen sheer blots out the beauty OF your
rosebud mouth. BY the same token the plainest face will seem
beautiful when ilumined by a smile Of contentment.
