Why not take the precaution in the beginning, keeping all of the elimi- Bative organs clean and in prime working order, to perform the duties intended for them by nature? Constipation and torpid liver re- spond to intelligent treatment almost tmmediately, and exercise for the dormant trunk muscles and elimina- tive organs is the first step toward a BICYCLING MACHINE IN GYM- NASIUM—MRS. H. G. Fi: When a woman is suffering from obesity, walking any great distance often causes severe strain on the muscles of the legs and bips on account of her excesive weight. The bicycié ma- chine takes all the weight of the body and exercises the legs and hips, meanwhile causing deeper breathing, which is beneficial to both fat and thin persons, A woman may exer- cise on the wheel three times or more, as long as she could comfort- ably walk TO DEVELOP ANKLES—«M. B. ©.: Heel and toe raising will help you. Raise on the toes as high as possible, and then lower the heels, gently and witbout jar, to the floor, Do this fifty times morning and evening. Foot cireling from the ankie will also belp develop the ankle, Heel and toe rais- ing also removes superfluous fat from the calf of the leg, but hardens and develops the flabby muscles mean- while, ONE LEG SMALLER—MRS, F, V.: I do not think exercise will develop the leg to the size of the other one which has been operated on. 1 can- not tell you how to bring the figure to perfect proportions by letter or in| the query column, as this subject is | too lengthy.

The fact that they were situ- ated in the lunatic asylum rather added to their interest. The first time 1 went there one of the subaiterns in| A Company was my companion. We didn’t particu- larly want to walk all the way, #0 we decided to get down to the bigh road as svon as we could, and try wet @ lift in a car, With great luck we managed to stop a fairly empty car and sot a Lift. It was occupied by @ couple of French soldiers who willingly rolled us along into Bailleul. Once there, we walked through the town and out to the asylum close by. I expect by now the lunatics have been called up under the group sys- tem; but in those days they were there, and pulled faces at us as we walked Vd the wide gravel drive to the grand portals of the building. They do make nice asylums over re. Inside it was fitted up in very great style; long carpeted corridors opening out into sort of domed win- ter gardens. We came at length to a particularly lofty, domed |, from which opened several large bathrooms. Splendid places.

Here we had a civilized meal. Tablecioth, Knives, forks, spoons, waited on—all that sort of thing. You could have quite a good dinner here if you liked. A curious thought occurred to me then, and as it occurs again to me now 1 write it down, Here it is: If the authorities gave one permission, one could have rooms at the Faucon d'Or and go to the war daily, It would be quite possible to, say, have an early dinner, table d’hote, get into and go to ground, or glaring over the parapet, and after "stand to” in the morning, go back in the car in time for break- Of course, if thero was an at- tack, the car would hi to wait that’s all; and of course you would come to an understanding with the hotel_ management that tho. terms were for meals taken in the hotel that if you had to remain in the trenches the terms must be reduced accordingly, A curious war th! table d’hote dinne: yon can beat a @ music ball en- 4 immensely ple eeees tertainment afterward, and within half an hour be enveloped tn the most uncomfortable, soul-destroying trench ever known. I said you can be; I wish I could say you always are. The last time I was at Batlleul, not many months ago, I heard that we could ne longer have baths at the esylum; I don’t know why. I think some one told me why, but I can't remember, Whether it was the baths and had been shelled, or whether the lunatics objected, it is impossible for way "Nau" bathe at ‘Baile CHAPTER XVI. HE Douve trenches claimed our battalion for @ long time, We went in and out with monoto- nous regularity, and I went on with my asual work. The whole place became more and mot epress- ing tome, Some days there were on which I felt quite merry and bright, and strode along on my nightly ram- bles, calmly ignoring bullets as they whisked about, At other times I felt thoroughly depressed and weary, As time wore on at the Douve I felt my- welt getting into @ state when it took more and more out of me to keep up my vigor and suppress my imagina- tion, There were times when I experi-~ enced an almost irresistible desire to lie down and sleep during some of my oight walks, 1 would feel an overwhelming desire to ignore the rain and mud and just coll up in a farm among the empty ting and rubbish and sleep, sleep, sleep, | looked forward to sleep to drown out tne worrtes of the daily and nightly life. In fact, I was slowly getting Ill, 1 suppose, The actual rough and ready life didn't trouble me at all. I was bothered with the idea of the whole thing. The unnatural atmos- phere of things that one likes and look# upon as pleasing, peaceful ob- jects in ordinary times, seemed now to obsess me, But I determined I would stick to the ship, and so 1 did. The periodical golng out to billets and making merry there was @ thing to look forward to, Every one co up In a rebound of spirits on these occasions, In the evenings there, sitting around the le, writing letters, talking, and oc- asionally having other members of re ent in to a meal or a call ome sort, made things quite pleas- ant. Yet during all this latter tim: the Douve I longed for a cha trenoh Some activity, some march to somewhere or other; any- thing to smash up the everlasting siagnant appearance of life there, Suddenly the change came, We were told we had to go out a day before one of our usual sessions in the trenches was ended. We were all sed. We didn't know where We were bound for, but any way we were going. This news re- vived me enormously, and everything looked brighter The departure at in night came, and ‘World Daily Magazine company b; toa He: lead: hen company we banded over battalion that had come to us, and collected on the road f back to Neuve Kglise.

As I marched in the rear of the battalion, at the head of the machine-gun section, I selected items from their repertoire and had them sw “by request.” I had some astonishingly good mouth- organiste in my section. ‘When we had “On the Trail of the Lonesome Pine” sung by half the section, with mouth organ accompah- iment by the other half, the effect was enormous, We passed several battalions of my regiment on the road, evidently bound for the Armen- tleres direction, Shouts, jokes, and much mirth showed the kindred spir- its of the passing columns. All bat- talions of the same regiment, ali more or less recruited in the same coun- ties. When we reached Bailleul we halted in the Square, and then I learned we were billeted there. There was apparently some difficulty in get~ ting billets, and so I was faced with the necessity of finding some for my wection. The transport officer was in the same Ox; he wanted a largo and commodious farm whenever be bitch- ed up anywhere, as he had a crowd of horses, wagons and men to put up somehow.
