How to Keep Youthful And Have a Pretty Figure, Regular Habits One of the First Rules for Woman MONDAY, AUGUST 5, 1918 Told by Mrs. Vernon Castle Who Wishes to Stay Young—Early to Bed and Early to Rise Another Good Rule That Helps to Promote Health—She Thinks a Little Hard Work. Would Help Many Women Who Pay Big Bills to Beauty Specialists. ! ( CONFESS that I'm very near to being stumped, confronted by the| matter of advising other women bow to keep myself fit, and the things which I do habitually—almost instinctively—go to make up quite when enumerated and written down. But I have never had to reduce, and therefore what I do with benefit some other woman should do. consideration. Isn't there a lot of perts” who practise and prescribe treatments which do not fit individual cases? My system, no doubt, would & haneficial in the cases of women who are not fit now, provided they ere women who have my physioal tenden- cles, but it would surely not serve in ‘the case of a woman inclined to excess fat and it would be atmost fatally bad fm the case of ® woman not of the “wiry” type. ‘Then again, perhaps, I have never had to reduce because of ‘having followed regular training of a sort from childhood. What has been the manner of life of the woman who, in the years of her middle Nfe, finds ‘herself inclined to superfluous fat or te painful thinness? That's something which certainly would have to be con- sidered in prescribing a treatment to correct @ present condition. It’s like stating a very stale truism to say that physical fitness depends mostly on norgal living and regular habits, To that, however, I account my own freedom from {0 health and exemption from worry about my waist line and the curve of my chin. No matter how my professional, engage- ments may change my hours of activ- ity, I devote the same elght full hours ef each twenty-four to sleep, and I That, in ifself, is perhaps an idea worth how to keep physically fit.

If 2 A. M. must be my hour for retiring, it ts certain to be 2 A. M. day after! day and my rising hour is then 10 A. M. But it is only when I am compelied to remain up late that I do so, Barly in bed and early to rise has been my rule in life whenever possible, ‘That's one reason why I ike to “work in pictures.” If I have to get up at 6 A. M, tn order to keep an er- Fagement to jump off a cliff, 1 at least have the satisfaction of going com- fortably to bed early the night beforo and of filling my Mings with the fresh, , lovely air of early morning before jumping. To me the early morning, after a.sane night's rest, is one of the choicest delights given we humans. And how many people there are who} deliberately and habitually deprive themselves of the delights of early rising! Half of the women who aro worrying about their pasty com- plexions and double chins could de- rive more benefit from getting up to ride a horse or swing a golf stick or weed @ garden than from the money they spend with beauty spe- cialists or physical culturists, | (Copyright, 1018, by tho Bell Syndicate, Ine) Brooklyn Self-Shavers RE you a self-shaver?

He is a berry picker by profession, and he h recognition ae such by the township. | In favorable weather during the season he fares forth with his pail and concentrates upon the picking of berries, late, and he is known locally, far and wide, for his intelligence, industy and thrift. There is just one little thing that casts a gloom over the life of Hen | Atherton, berry picker, and that is his possible encounter with snak } This perpetually hangs over him like the Sword of Damocles. He does not like snakes, Their sinuous, gliding motions have no charm for him. Thus far, in all of his young life, he has never been bitten by a snake, but his: constant fear of being bitten is so ever-present and so intense that it gets on his nerves and has caused a trend toward a breakdown. Poisonous snakes abound in Franks- jtown, but by taking thought Mr. JAtherton has advanced to the point where he can Bid them defiance. His daily performance now includes giv- ing them the laugh. The simplicity of his scheme ts ap- pealing since his immunity to their attacks arises from a mouth organ, which he always carries and upon which he plays with sweetness and force. So effective has this mouth organ proved iteeif that he holds it in higher esteem than most people accord to @ rabbit's foot. When Henry goes a-berrying and reaches a locality which is favorable jalike for enakes and berries out comes his faithful little mouth organ and he begins to play the latest and liveliest airs in the sector. If there ere any rattlesnakes, copperheads or other poisonous snakes in the one of operations when the sonorous notes of the mouth jorgan peal forth, rise and fall, grow fast or slow, soft or loud, the snakes ;abandon concealment, raise their heads and begin to sway in harmony with the music, which charms and soothes them and kills. all desire to AUGUST 65, This Music Hath Charms To Soothe Even the Serpen Mouth OrganKeeps’ EmO Armed Only With His Trusty Harp, Champio Berry Picker Ventures Into Wilds of Blackberry Patch and Starts Serpentine Waltz—Untamet Reptiles Must Stand to Attention When Hi Plays Newest Military Airs.

The snakes remain harmless for a long time afterward, while Henry picks his berries. ‘We may all picture the scene. There stands Henry, his pail sus- pended from a low growing bush by means of a double hook, thus leaving both hands free for the berry picking process, His mouth organ is where it will do the most good. Hands and mouth are working together in uni- son, while the berries, ambidextrously gathered, fall into the pail with a tuneful cadence that by no means conflicts with the syncopation of the mouth organ, Flanking all is a semi- circular row of miscellaneous @er- pents, standing on their tails and swaying to the tempo, meanwhile singing songs withcut words. Henry has trained his snakes to enjoy military music and the straii of “Where Do We Go From Here “Over There,” “Pack Up Your Trou- bles in Your Old Kit Bag and Smile, Smile, Smile,” and even “It's a Long,!
