Miss Cole summarized fer the

Thinness Can

Asserts Helen
By HELEN JAMESON

Unless disease is present, gaunt
thinnesS can be overcome. The
girl who is 50 skinny that her col
larbones- loom up and her elbows
are sharp should make real Ell
fore to WOO a little adipose pad
ping. She needs it for the inter-
esting business of keeping fit.
Beauty of form is possible for ev-

how to live wisely, subject upon
which the young things never pom
Ger, and upon which many of the
older ones might mediate now
and then.
No one can put on weight who
does not have enough nourishing
food at regular hours, or who does
not get sufficient sleep. The di-
eestive furnace must have proper
fuel: there must be hours of rest
to make up for the wear and tear
of activities. The skinnies among
us are usually overactive. They
are night providers who never go
tc bed as long as they can keep
their eyes open.
STRAIN ON EYE
Slenderness is one thing, scraWn-
mess is something else. Emaciateo
girls are a strain ON the eye. Legs
and arms are spindling, much too
fragile in appearance. They are
hipless and, while over developed
hips may be an anatomical curse,
there must be a lovely outward
curve from the waistline down.

Some young women are not uni

normal, but the upper portion OF
the body is emaciated. Chest flat,

breathing is often responsible for
that condition. The amount OF
oxygen taken up by the pulmonary
circulation is comparatively small.
Oxygen strengthens every tissue of
the body and is as necessary as

Miss Skinny will profit if she

her lungs, expelling it slowly. Five

cises every morning will not only
increase chest measurement, but
it will give her an appetite. put

TAKE TIME TO EAT
Casual, hasty eating must not be
tolerated, if curves are to be cul-
tivated. Take time to eat, Miss
Slimpsy. Eat the right kind OF
food. You will need everything
the grocer's provides, just a little
more sweets. starches and fats.

A hundred logs Oh pine:
With these I built lowly hut
For me and all of mine
Between the logs daubbed with

Which acted like cement;
Twas Georgia clay as red as blood
Which gets as hard as flint.

To natures noble plan
And nature never has been wrong

A few days later Gales disclosed
he planned to end his exile by re-
turning to his homeland this spring.
