HOME GYMNASIUM FOR WOMEN To Preserve Health, Strength and Figure en na BY PAULINE FURLONG When tlre muscles {n the body are properly cared for they are like a new Piece of elastic and easily respond to daily efforts to keep them #0, and no the body. space of time. gtanding and sitting positions. it down flat with a tight corset, which only forces the flesh to form in great jumps on the Mps and shoulder blades, Wut practise the body bending end trunk raising each night for sev- eral minutes and reduce the acous- tomed amount of heavy foods for a few weeks and watch the waist line slowly but surely get emailer, This 1s the only way, and sooner or later those who are in doubt will surely @eoome convinced, if they but give | §: the hygienic method half a chance to prove ita wonderful merits, It {s @ great mistake to develop one set of muscles at the expense of the others, and organic vigor— strength of heart, lungs, stomach and brain—should be the principal goal of all who would live to enjoy health and comfortable old age. The woman who climbs stairs or ‘walks and breathes deeply each day is taking more valuable exercise than another who is working furiously at some competitive game in an elab- orately fitted gymnasium, where great mental effort is necessary in order to win the game. It is important to remember that any and all exercises, which bring a different set of muscles into ‘»y, whether it be sweeping, reaching to dust the picture mouldings, ng stairs, walking or deep breathing, fare just as beneficial as stooping and bending with d.nb-bells, w In- dian clubs or other unnecessary ap- paratus, —— Letters from Miss Furlong’s Readers, LANOLIN FOR WRINKLES—J, C., writes: “Is the lanolin you mention in your interesting health articles, im- ported, sold in bulk or tubes?” it may be purchased in small tubes, Ask for toilet lanolin, ported in large pound cans, which are too much for home use, SQUATTING—E. J. S. asks: “In the squatting exercise, should it be| repeated ten times in succession or ten times at different times of the day?” This, nor any other exercise, could hardly be very beneficial if performed but once several times @ day. By all means do the squatting ten times in| \ succession, You may balance with a ‘wand or broom handle until you are strong enough to do the exercise, This t# valuable in overcoming constipa- tion, indigestion, reducing large ad- domen and lending poise and grace to the body, 4 WANTS TO GROW—Jobn J, EB. seks: “Is it possible for me to grow two inches more? I am twenty-one years old. I eat good, nourishing foods and have no bad habits, yet cannot gain weight, Is there any way 1 might gain twenty pounds?” If you are especially active you wilh not take on weight. You are probably eating too much food, Milk and raw eggs or milk and suger and boiled rice taken daily will help you to gain weight. Breathe deeply when in the fresh air, All stretching exercises, “chinning the bar,” &c,, will atd you fn getting taller, You may grow until you are twenty-four, GRAY HAIR—Js, J. J. asks: “Is there any way to stop my hair from turning gray? I am only twenty-two ears old and my hair is dry and rittle.” Massage the scalp at night with the fioger tips dipped in pure cocoanut oil. TOO THIN—F4ith McO, writes: “Will long walks make one thin? Will a cold splash in the morning make one thin? What is the cause of being tired all the time and also feeling cold always?” Long walks will make you thin, but if you breathe deeply and eat a meal of good nourishing foods after them you will gain welght. Do not walk too long each day if you would gain welght. The cold bath will not reduce you, but hot ones will do 80, Poor circulation makes you feel tired and cold all the time. Take much exercise and you will overcome this feeling, TO BLEACH HAIR—Bdith K. asks: “Gan you tell me a preparation that fe harmiess and will bleach the bair?”’ Pure peroxide of hydrogen undi- luted will bleach the hair a bright yellow. It will cause it to become dry and brittle in time, It must be used on a perfectly clean head of hair to have any effect. I would not ad- vise you to start to bleach your hair, as nothing will restore it to ite original color. WRINKLES—Mrs, Tessie O, aske: “Will you please tell me 4 good bland soap to use on skin which is inclined to_ wrinkle?” Do not use any soap, You may g@et theatrical cold cream in haif- pound boxes for about 80 cents, ‘There are lots of good makes and they are pure and economical, Use this to cleanse the face at all times and wipe away the excess with a soft cheese sloth. ’ \' It is entirely possfble for you to control your mus- cles-and do with them what you wish to, and if you are Tound shouldered do not feel that you need an expensive physical culture course or elaborate outfit to correct this defect, but start in tonight on your bedroom floor and do the chest raising exercise for a few minutes and notice the strain you will feel on the shoulder blades, which have so long been pushed out of their rightful position by tncorrect If the abdomen is high do not try to squeeze It is also im-| expensive apparatus, brace or belt is necessary to correct disfigurements of —= = Hard work and persistent efforts will reduce the high abdomen, rolling will bring classic lines to the hips and correct carriage will overcome the most obsti- nate case of round shoulders within a remarkably short GANG WRECKS RESTAURANT.

THE EVENING WORLD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1916. a DON'T CALL SCHOOL CHUM BY YOUTHFUL NICKNAME Newell Did So, and His Face| der Requires a Surgeon’s Skil- ful Attention, “Never call an old echootmate by his nickname {f you happen to mest him in after years,” @ youth solemnly advised the lieutenant on the desk at the West Forty-seventh Street Sta- tion early to-day. “What's the reason?’ asked the Lieutenant, “lam.” The visitor's face had been badly slashed. He said he was William Nowell, twenty, a clerk living at No. 60 West Bnd Avenue, He was walk- ing In Bighth Avenue between Fifty- fourth and Fifty-fifth Streets, he went on, when he met three men, one of whom was an old school chum. He couldn't think of his name and sald: “Hello, old Chicken Thief!" ‘The man drew a knife and did some fancy work on Newell's qountenance. “When we were boys,” Newell ox- plained, “this boy stole a chicken as @ prank, and we playfully called bim ‘obicken thief.’ But I'N never do tt again.” A @urgeon from Polyclinic Hospital patched him up and he went bome.

And as she listened the girl be- side her learned the secret of the uncontrollable desire for crime that sometimes surged within her and brought with it that sanguine red band that branded the back of her hand— THE RED CIRCLE This was the secret that the faithful Mary had kept locked within her faithful heart these past twenty years. THE RED CIRCLE is a remarkable story of heredity, romance and adventure, wre Py ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNE for this paper, from the photoplay by Will Ritchey.
