Pauline Furlong’s Talks On Health and Beauty Copyright, 1919, by the Prose Publishing Ca, (The New York Evening World), Exercises for Beautifying the Body HE protruding abdomen and sagging stomach usually accompany the careless stoop-shouldered posture and it is almost impossible to overcome one without benefiting the other. However, special movements may be used for the muscles of waist and abdomen with very good results. ficial to health as It must be remembered also that these abdominal exercises aid materially in overcoming indigestion, poor circulation and constipation, and are therefore bene- well as personal appearance. I consider the trunk circling exercise one of the best in the entire series for overcoming the above mentioned common ailments as well as correcting in- correct posture, and this is performed by placing the hands on the hips to lend balance, heels nearly together and then, after bending the body at the waist line far to the front, circle the trunk around and around until you have performed about ten complete circles. Simple body bending forward, touching the floor with the finger tips, while keeping the knees rigid, will also help reduce abdomen and correct common disorders caused by overeating and lack of physical exercises. Do the exercises in a room with a current of fresh air constantly stirring, and take deep abdominal breaths with each movement to get the best out of the exercises. Breathe in deeply while the shoulders are back and erect and the body upright. Exhale as the body goes down or shoulders and chest are stooped or curved forward. ‘The above exercises, combined with copious water drinking between meals, should overcome constipation with slugsish liver in a short time atid of course the correct standing position will allow all of the elimina tive and important organs to work freely and without crowding, as nature intended. These movements and not drugs will bring about a better con- dition of the health as well as beautifying the body and complexion if they are practised with persistence and regularity about five minutes at Imtervals each day. Exercises, like any other tasks in life, must be done with patience and determination, if good results are to be expected from them.

P. Dutton & Co.) ” A A Dog,” by Albert Payson L Terhune . P, Dutton & Co.), is the adventurous life story of @ great dog, a huge, tawny and white collie, Lad by name, He lived and loved and fought and died, And his adventures make mighty thrilling reading, with here and there an in- voluntary laugh and here and there @ still more involuntary misting of the reader's eyes into something sus- _plelously like tears, Perhaps this intensely human trait in the book is due to the fact that Lad was 4 real dog—not a figment of the author's imagination—and be- cause the chief incidents in thd book are true, In any case, the result is a dog book that carries more keen in: terest and heart appeal than any other volume of the kind within the ast ten years, ‘There are twelve stories included in “Lad: A Dog.” Each story ts com- plete in itself, yet all are woven to- gether in a sustained plot, No one can read one of them without feeling the urgent desire to read the rest And, long before the end, Lad will ha won his way to the reader's heart, even as he won his way to the hearts of the mistress and the mas- ter in real life, It will pay you to read “Lad; a Dog.” It strikes a human note that is irresistible. The interest never once slackens, It is an epic of dog litera- ture.

But Joe, this dame has got more stuff from the ears up than @ foreman at Yale or one of them college joints, and she didn’t make no wild scene or nothin’ like that, which wouldn't of helped matters a bit I fled outa here on one of them little trick trains, and she come down to the station with me as bright and full of pep as if she was in the front row of the Winter Garden, and a disin- terested stranger would of thought 1 was on my way to get elected King of Arizona or somethin’, instead of goin’ to the trenches, We tried to get done with all the good-byes at the house, but when the train come in it turned out they was a few we had overlooked, and all the French dough. boys which was goin’ back ieaned out the windows and yelled et.courage- ment to us like guys at a prize fight.

Vivela, France. BAR JOE: Weil, Joe, I guess you must be thinkin’ by this time that the boches have fin'ly goteme, It is so long since I have wrote you. But such is not the case, Joe, and anybody that claims I'm dead is a liar, and I can prove it, Since last T took pen in hand and let it run wild over some clean white paper, I have had more adventures than the handsomest, movie hero which ever bravely faced a battery of cameras, also I am now a sergeant and when you write to me you wanna gay “Sir,” and no familiarity goes! No doubt by the time you get ‘hi if so, I will be a vice genera somethin’, and Pershing will be me daily if I think everything is bein run O. K, I will try and put him at ease if he does, Joe, and not be stuck up, as many a guy would be with less brains, I am sorry to say T have not been wounded no more, only gettin’ mauled up a bit and layin’ in a hospital for three weeks, havin’ suffered a dad attack of shell shock. But I ain't been layin’ down on the job, Joe, be- cause I been in a real ‘sure-enourh dattls, which made that first German raid look tike a warm session of pinochle; also I been took prisoner by the boches and then atole home on them—just like I done on Alexander that time in Philly. Well, Joe, on a certain night we was ordered to relieve a battalion of French guys who'd been holdin’ a line of trenches a little to the left and a whole lot further toward the Germans than we'd ever been yet. The officers seen that all the guys that come outa the first raid was among them present, because we was frothin’ at the mouth to get back at them squareheads, and also we'd been under fire and was everything on earth but gun shy. The relief come off as nice and easy as the akin off of a banana, and they wasn't as much as an angry look throwed at us by the Germans all night along, As is usual when they is a relief comin’ off, we picked the darkest night in captivity and, as is usual under any circumstances over here, it was rainin’ like Niagara Falls, 80 I don’t think the boches even knowed the change had been made. They kept bangin’ away at us, Joe, for three or four hours, and you or nobody else ever heard such a ter- rible and continual roarin’ and boomin’ in all your life! I thought all the dynamite in the world had come over and gone nutty, All of a sudden, Joe, we hear a gong bangin’ somewheres, and they was a rush to get outa that dugout that would make # football game look like chess. We knowed what that gong meant, and we got our gis masks im somethin’ under half “second or apiece. ‘Then we pile out uo what was form'ly our trench and bump in- to gangs of other doughboys doin’ the came thing. If we bad stayed below, Joe, we would of died Uke rats in a hole because the squareheads was gassin’ us, so 's to make it as healthy as possible for them before they come over. All at once the shellin’ stops, and through the smoke that’s driftin’ | away we can see the Germans pilin’ outa thelr trenches and gigzaggin’ this way and that toward us. We all give a yell of joy, and them officers of ours had their hands full keepin’ us from goin’ right out to meet them birds! The first row of boches is carryin’ little cans like fire extinguishers, and I'm wondering what they are. for, when, Joe, streams of yellow flame comes bustin’ outa them and shoots over to us. You never seen nothin’ like this, I don't care if you go to the movies night and day! That burnin’ stuff poured into us, Joe, and wher- ever it touched it cut to the bone, Wai, It kinda surprised us for a min- ute, but we was there to show them German skunks that, no matter what they pulled on us, we'd raise ‘em tho limit, bein’ Yanks, and, Joe, we went to it! A coupla machine guns opens up beside me, and the first line of squareheads just melted away like fried ice, with their cans of hell and all! These birds was what the Ger- mans calls the “shock” troops, which is the same as the Suicide Club, and the rest of them keeps comin’ right on, ‘We got some kinda order in what's left of our trenches by this time, and we start lettin’ ‘em have it with hand grenades, We burnt them things over just as fast as we could throw ‘em, and, Joe, they kept goin down right and left like tenpins durin’ a tourney. Then, without no warnin’, our artillery opens up on ‘em with a barrage fire, and we get the word to go over and get ‘em, and to hell with thelr liquid fire and gas. Oh. boy! !t This is what we'd been waitin’ for ever since we come to France, and, Joe, the yell we turned loose drowned out the artillery! We had made a bum outa their flame throwers with our machine guns, and before they could get set again we was on top of ‘em and hittin’ them boches with everything but Paris, 1 don't know what nobody else did, for I was the busiest guy in France for the next halt hour. I can only tell you what I done, which was aplenty! ‘Tho first stop I make \s in front of a big squarehead which developed a case of stage fright and missed me with his gun, Then he comes at me with a knife as big a8 Brooklyn, and I let him have the baynet through the rips, yeilin’ like « Maniac whilst doin’ s0, I seen a doughboy go down near me, end two of them German tramps is 90 anxious to baynet him that they collide with each other, head on.

The biggest German in the world is standin’ guard over me, and I ain't no more than opened an eye when he prods me with his baynet and motions for me to get up. I took bis advice, and after feelin’ myself over I find that outside of a lump on my head big as a basket- ball, Lam O. K. except a little stiff. ‘How many of your trenches did we take?” I sa: “Shut up!" he growls in plain Eng- Mish. “You will bo shot to-morrow!” What d’ye think of that bird, Joe, tryin’ to gloom it all up for me! Well, he tells me to walk ahead of him, and 1 do the same, goin’ all the way down the trench. The squareheads all look me over like I'm some new kind of fish, and quite a few yells stuff at me in German which was no doubt knocks, if I only knowed what they was sayin’, It was all I could do, Joe, to keep from bustin’ the lot of them in the nose! We wind up before another dugout, and my charmin’ guide turns me over to a squarchead at the door. ‘This guy pushes me inside, and there I am stood up before the Night Court, or somethin’, of the German Army, They is three guys sittin’ behind a table which from their uneyforms must of been at least the Katser and a couple of the crown princes, They are hard-lookin’ babies, Joe, and they glare at me like they’re tryin’ to as- sassinate me with a glance. I come right back at ‘em and tried it myvelf. Neither of us had no luck, The bird that brung me in does everything in the way of a salute but get down and Kise the dirt, and then he opens up with a string of boche lingo, At a iven point he stops, pulls that trick salute again, 8 it—and I'm alone with these three guys. “What is the name of your regt- ment?” barks one of them in Eng- lish.
