Deep Breathing If you want to be fullv developed, with an easy grace of motion that tells of the perfect control of every muscle, then take to rhythmic breathing. It will make a new woman of you. The hollows in your cheeks and your neck will fill up as if by magic. The increasing heaviness of your walk will disappear. You will acquire a complete command of your body. Any flabbiness or angularity comes from breathing onlv the upper part of one's lungs. Double chins and other deformities are due to the same cause.
Music as Medicine.- The effect of music upon health and disease is incalcurabie. No home should be without some musical instrument, for it is better than medicine. For instilling ambition in the lazy and indifferent it is almost magical. I have stirred phlegmatic and careless boys to sudden enthusiasm by the playing of a stirring march ; and individuals who had lost heart were fired with a sudden determination to again go into the fight and win.
Every woman owes it as a duty to herself to look her best, and this should be her first care, whatever station in life she may occupy. It does not necessarily follow that a girl who is anxious to look well is conceited ; far from it. And whether a girl be at home or whether she goes into the world to earn her own living, the importance is just the same ; tor it is the fresh, healthy-looking girl who wins the prizes in the race ot today.
