HEALTH HINTS.

Fruit should be' n large portion of one’s breakfast.

Hardwood floors and rugs are better than carpel on sleeping floors.

Hot water cools and cleanses, cold water “firms,” and massage irons away ugly facial lines. But have a care how and where you rub or you will create lines.

After bathing in the surf the lips n : often blue. The heart is in revolt. Take a few breathing exercises and then watch your lips freshen toward red.

Women should take five minutes a day from work and lie flat on the back, all muscles relaxed, with eyes closed. This will be found a wonderful preserver of health, beauty and strength. The bath is a semi-religious observance during torrid weather. Those who must bathe in a thimble of water, so to speak, should spend a long time in rubbing the body gently with a coarse towel afterward.

If 3'ou feel restless keep the fact to yourself. Avoid rocking chairs who: you are ci;tcrtaiuii.g or are being entertained. Don’t fidget your feet, thrust them forward, or call attention to them by crossing and uncrossing them. One expects boys to go through a hobbledehoy stage when they don’t seem to know quite what to do with their limbs, but in a girl that sort of thing is intolerable.
