MAKE EXERCISE A HABIT.

An Eaar amd Simple War as ItearUf Health tad Good Loom. Exercise is much more necessary to human life than moat women think. Healthy stimulation is an absolute need; without it tbe body will rust and fall to bits. The baby that never creeps about of kicks or exercises at all either wastes into a tiny midget of bones and wrinkles or else takes on pounds of unhealthy fat and becomes soft and short breathed and without vitality. The brain that never calls npon itself for work must become dull and stupid, and it Is the same way with the muscles of the body. They are filled with blood vessels that should be up and doing. Tbe blood bas several purposes, and one Is to carry away, much of the waste fluids of the body. Tbe lungs are a sort of refinery, and the blood is a distilling agent If the blood becomes thick and unhealthy and sluggish the body does not keep its youthful state. Eyes grow dull; Ups lose their redness; the complexion is sallow and unlovely. It is an easy and simple matter to make exercise a habit—just like the habit of patting out the lights at night and wondering if burglars will show up before morning. A most excellent scheme is to take long, slow full breaths whenever yon have a chance—when you are waiting for'a car, when yon are walking, when you are going to Bleep, when you have just awakened. Such habits are valuable, most valuable, but because they don’t cost anything and are a little trouble lots of women fancy there is nothing in such practices. Nonsense! Look at the athletic men that train. They are the healthiest, strongest, finest looking creatures in existence. • Go thou and do likewise on a little scale.—Chicago Record-Herald.
