In the humble sphere of home, in the proper handling ody as you perform each task, you have every means at hand for only get through the morning's work with the proper vim you will find ample opportunity in the afternoon for recreation and relaxation, which is of vital importance not only tothe efficient conduct of your home but to the simultaneous improvement of your health and disposition. While the bedrooms are airing in the morning it affords a splendid op- portunity, for you to take a few deep breathing exercises. As you make the bed, bend the bedy at such an angle that there is no strain but a true bend at the waistline and none at the kne There will be no flabby muscles in your arms {f you toss and punch the pillows as you would a punching bag. 2 Even in the matter of washing dishes the height at which you place the pan can greatly lessen the fatigue of this task. Instead of walking to and fro, take advantage of a good swing which gives you the ‘waist twist" so essential for promoting good digestion and beauty as you reach to Place the dishes in the cupboard. ‘The hands can be kept smooth and white if you give them an ofl bath before sitpping on the rubber gloves. ven the task of sweeping can be made to develop many torso muscles as well as the muscles in the arms it you use a full swinging motion. Note the illustration. If you use a carpet sweeper, take a good wide stride as you would in @ charging exercise as the sweeper moves forward and bring the heels together as the Sweeper moves backward, being care- ful to hold the body as erect as pos- sible. All of these exercises tend to promote good circulation, keep the ‘body in excellent trim and develop the figure into beautful lines. ‘One of the greatest handicaps to physical fitness is congested organs or @ pressure on the spine. It may surprise you to know that if you ex- aggerate the position you assume in kneeling to map the floor you are tak- ing the same position you would in following the given exercises for these complaints. The great advantage to be gained in adapting this principle of physi- cal culture to each humble task ties in the fact that the tasks of house- keeping are so diversified that no portion of the body need be neglected, contrary to other ofcupations which tend to develop owe portion of the ‘ody only. Housework 1s, when ‘properly done, as wonderful a field for development as a course in physi- cal training. On the contrary, if these rules are not followed the results will be general exhaustion, mental gloom and it will not be long before youth and beauty are laid as a sacrifice on the altar of duty. The temptation that confronts the homemaker is to spoil her digestion by yielding to the desire to nibble and taste the foods that are always at hand. This is disastrous to the dl- gestion, gives a cloudy look to the complexion and is often the reason for overweight. A woman who has un- dertaken the entire care of her home requires a heavier diet than would one who was engaged in less arduous la. bors, but it 1s much better for her to leave the hearty meal until after sine has finished the heavy work of the day, when she will have quiet to ai gest it. Strenuous activities should never be undertaken immediately after & heavy meal.

AS a man lost his usefulness H after he is forty, as a pro- vider for his family?
