The Flabby and the Fat. 1 Physical culture, in all the term im- plies to the well misinformed layman, is 95 per cent hokum and 5 per cent truth. There is a prodigious amount of the sheerest humbug and the most egregi- ous quackery perpetrated on the great Wisenheimer family under the aegis of this title I am accustomed to all sorts of que ries, but aside from the letters I get from obviously insane persons, there are none more weird than the letters written by half-haked dupes of charla- tans. Although the casual reader may not suspect it. I do feel sorry for the victims of erdinary fakers or thiev- ing quacks who ply their trade by and with the assistance of the United | States maiis; but the Wisenheimers | and tribulations which come to the | educated friend sprays you with his who are taken in by the wiles of these persons wring no tears from my lachrymal glands except tears of laughter. These self-aisured saps be- zin by swallowing the charlatan’s im plications about the uselessness or the harmful effects of “pills and potions,” and from that vapid convietion to the conclusion that “ordinary” doetors are just naturally wrong about everything. | By the time the knowing but poorly | educated sap has heen worked up to | this position he is ready to purchase what Is offered. And I, for one, de. | licht to know that if the charlatan trime Mr. Wisenheimer at all he trims him thoroughly. A reasonable amount of exercise i of unquestionable value In keeping a man or woman well and fit. and no | man or woman can keep well and fit without getting the necessary daily exercise. A few half-baked highbrows | imagine they can keep well without | taking any exercise, hut their idea of keeping well is not requiring the care of a doctor. It is foolish to assume that muscu lar strength means health, for it has littla to do with health It i= a serfous mistake for voung people tn at- | tempt to develop big muscles, for such muscles are of little use even in ath letic efforts and they hecome literal- Iy parasites, sapping the available en- ergy just for their maintedfance. The big muscle freaks are clumsy, ineffi. cient, never win any athletic contests and live a short life.

One mother says: When I have any white icing left I spread three slices of brown bread with it, stack them up in three layers and then cut in slices. It looks like dark cake, and the thin spread of butter under the icing gives sufficient richness to make it very tempting, and it always proves a favorite for | light lunches. White bread can be | with and soon gives out when the ex- used similarly with chocolate or cara- mel frosting. - A . Chopping tool. Perceive by touch. Prefix, into. . Preposition. . Negative. A bone.

How does exercise help one to keep well and fit> Well, suppose you sud- denly develop appendicitls tomorrow. If yon've not neglected your exercise you are fairly fit to stand the gaff and after you've been gaffed, why, there's nothing more to it, none of the trials flabby victim. Or suppose some thoroughly mis- conversational spray when he has a “slight cold,” and it brings you down with pneumonia a few days later. 1f vou've not neglected your exercise you've got a heart which is capable of meeting the extra demand which the illness will place upon it, and that asset, with a fair break in the weather can have plenty of eold likely bring you through in fine shape. On the other hand, if you have kidded yourself along with the idea that you need no exercise, your poor old heart is flabby to begin tra load is thrust upon it, and folks will wonder for a few days how such a bhig, healthy, vigorous person sue cumbed so umexpectedly to that dread- ful disease, These are just familiar instances of the value of physical education. But note, please, that no amount of exer- cise renders an individual immune te infection. The flabby may drift along for vears without requiring medical care.” But sooner or later every one who really | lives is bound to stand a test, and for this reason alone, even if there were no positive benefits to health in dally exercise, it is the part of wis- dom to be numbered with the fit.

PILL-SLAVE FREED FROM CONSTIPATION Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN brought natural relief | in a few weeks A remarkable, convincing tribute is paid Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN in this letter from Mr. F. C.

STORES FEATURES. SPRING OPENINGS interpretation of Spring’s arrival. casts, as Fifth Ave- EN may watch the “ticker.” Men may watch the financial publications. They may keep a close tab on finance and politice. But every woman watches with cqual interest the latest edicts of Paris. And of all the year, Spring stvles seem most fascinating. To throw of Winter's burden is always a_delight, no less great than the an- ticipation of what will be the vogue for the lovely, soft days of Spring and the out-door days which follow for so many delightful months. New York may he the financial capital of the world, London the political, Geneva the focal point of international relations. but Paris, to women, is paramount. To “her.” that vibrant city on the Seine. we turn with expectant interest, certain that she will have gathered for us a bounteous offering. Skirts, first. What i< the verdict? Surely they can't be shorter> Then what of the waist-line> Will it re main “as ie” or will it waver and locate elsewhere? \What of the sil houette?> What about fabrice? Colors? Mere anticipation puts every ome of us on the qui vive. Obviously. the subject in ite en tirety is endless and would take columns and columns for the discus sion. So T comfine myself here to one phase of the mode and will tell vou my deductions from all that | have seen and observed at the early private openings. As my subject, T will confine my- self to thoce intimate accessories so called. vet really necessities those three things which are o very intimate hecause they alone tonch one’s skin 1 refer. of course. 1o underthinge, hosiery and gloves. Of all Madame and Mademniselle may wear, only the designers of Paris can give that intimate halance hetween daring and chic to these important items, Just the right note—to overstep it i dangerous. French designers alone can create the precise fillip of sparkling gaietv, vet retain reserve —provocative timidity Gloves so very French, making dainty hands more attractive, hosiery not ever too daring, yet always shyly audacious—lingerie. for houdoir eyes only, adventurously lovely, soit, clinging. And yet, while 1 willingly give French designers due credit for their creative ability, I must take patri- otic pride in the fact that it takes American geniuc. no less inspired. to interpret and produce these ac- cessories. . This is all aside from the question of importation and the resultant duty. It takes American methods to search the world for it best ma terials. 1t takes American methndec to transform things which would otherwise be bevond the reach of but a few and produce them at a fair price. For example. 1 remember one season when a Paric designer sent a small collection of gloves down to the Riviera. They won instant ap- proval. When the Winter emigres returned to Parfs, .this designer's shop became the mecca Yet of his models, he could pro- duce but few. The season moved faster than his output. The supply was inadequate. This particular glove never even got to America, a distinct loss. Today that cannot happen. Ameri- can women, the nation over, are of- fered almost simultaneously with Paris the very latest, most approved models in gloves. hosiery and lingerie. This is due to the enterprise of that long known, dependable house. Juluis Kayvser & Co. of New York, which maintains a very close con- tact with Paris. It maintains a “liaispn™ staff in Paris, a sympathetic intermediary between the dictates of Paris and the desires of America. Tt is, as_von doubtless know, a house specializing in things of silk, and is one of the world's largest purchasers of pure silk and pure dyes. It is a concern to which all of ue women owe much. I know of no combination of policies which should delight us more. On the one hand. it is up to the minute in styles; on the other hand, its standards of manufacture are really old-fash- ioned. By this T mean it is pre-eminently dependable, not sacrificing style to quality, but combining sheer beauty with long wear, a happy marriage of Fashion and Economy. I mean, more specifically, that you may wear the sheerest Kayser hosiery, the latest evening shade. the most exquisite, cobwehby, Frenchy pair you've ever possessed—yet vou may be certain that they are made of pure silk, tinted with pure dyes.” The Kayser label is a real guarantee of old-fashioned quality. And so it is with Kayser lingerie. The latest modes de Paris, BUT ma- terials and workmanship that insure weay and wear. How _ discouraging it is to buy without such assurance. If one goes by “looks” or ‘“feel” alone, at the counter, how disappointing. - have a lovely thing be all too soon. How costly! vice i$ never to speculate, b sist upon secing the label of the maker, No saleslady will take offenise.. As for Kayser, they always '!eem'.ihd to say, “Yes, #t's Kaysen” a 1 _always feel that they respect my good judgment. o May I refer you: to the adjoining Aannouncement, infi}gnk,yw“.lto{: ine | "spect the new ou may see for yol lovely ideas in gloves, hosiery, the late interpreted as ¢ sibly combini
