Pauline Furlong’s Advice On Health and Beauty Seortaha. 1918, by The Frees Pubtuthing Co, (The New York Rvening World.) | ! GIRL reader writes to me to in- quire if I know of any exer. cise which will help her to hold her head up afl says she has acquired the habit of walking with her head bent down on her chest, causing her to appear round shouldered, Indeed, thts will cause round shouldérs in and greatly encourage the un- ly double chin also, I have two splendid remedies for helping to hold the head up and, if pach exercise is practised at intervals @uring the day, for several minutes at & time, the habit of holding the head erect will be the ultimate result, First try walking around your room wvith a smail book, about regulation or novel size, on your head, keep the hands on the hips, shoulders back and @bdomen in, but do not walk in a strained or sway backed position. ‘Take easy and natural strides, just © you would do if walking without Lhe book. Another good exercise to banish @ouble chin and aid in hohling the hoad up is to clasp the hands behind the head and throw the head back into them. Then take @ deep breath ig the head goes back and hold the breath while you turn the head from side to side, once each way. Then jJower the head on the chest and ex- hate as you do so. Repeat this about ten times, in a place where the air is fresh and stirring, so that you will get the udded benefit of deep breath- ing while you are practising the head- bending movements. For straightening the shoulders, place the hands on the hips and try to make the elbows meet in the back about ten times, Continued prac- Hold the Head High. tice of this movement will overcome 'on the hi the most obstinate case of round shoulders in a few weeks, Readers should always remember that there are two kinds of exercises —those that reconstruct and build over and those which break down and destroy the tissue. Strenuous exercises and overdoing any of them should always be avoided, ANSWERS TO QUERIES. BILIOUSNESS—Winnie L.—— Overeating, faulty diet and clogged system are the chief causes of bil- lous condition. Light diet, copious water drinking and physical exer- cises will prevent it. Rent FOR BLACKHEADS —Ethel G— Soften the flesh around the black- heads by bathing the face in very warm water and pure glycerine soap. Then rinse out the suds with clean hot water and press out the black- heads with a sterilized ¢omedone. After this apply some of the follow- ing ointment, which is very effec- tive: Zino ointment, one-half ounce salicylic acid, 10 grains; gum cam- phor, 5 grains. Have a druggist mix this for you and allow it to remain on the blackheads over night. SPONGY SKIN—Mre. Ella B.— You are evidently suffering from lowered vitality and poor circulation, it your skin feels soft and spongy. Healthy flesh is hard and firm. You need a general building up of the en- tire system, with nourishing foods and ily mild exercises to tone the muscles. HANGNAILS—Helena D.—— Keep the hands out of hot water and trim the hangnails as soon as they appéar, This is the only way to keep them away, Rub cocoa butter nds and nails at night.

If no further pig- mentation takes place in it the iris tends to manifest a light blue or a gray shade; but when pigment is deposited in the iris layers, this or- ran becomes brown, Even’ in negro infants the iris may be blue in early e ery | ny | Honest. ‘Not inconstant but does not know her own mind yet Relieve she will eventually make good wife, HOME PAGE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1919 Daily Magazine By Maurice Ketten 1 AM GIVING LiTtue INCOME A LITTLE RAISE TO MAKE Him Biager GREAT!
