But we are creatures of habit and trainin

We cannot take a spasmodic course of excreb

and then forget them, if we expect to secure

any appreciable results.

To develop a beautiful throat and chest, for example, a woman must take some kind of arm and shoulder exercises every day. As a further

aid in this beautifying development a gentle massage will work wonders in assisting Nature to do her part. To do this effectively it would be wcl' to stand before a mirror. Thus you can study the free play of the muscles and correct any tendency to awkwardness. Fifteen minutes every day spent in rigorous physical exercises in the privacy of her own room ; then a four or fiv? mile walk daily, if possible, will be found a most powerful ally for a woman's beauty. The familiar "setting up exereises" which give muscular :ontrol and induce correct breathing; are invaluable in developing a symmetrical form. In this way a woman will greatly enhance her natural grace and acquire an inimitable poise of manner and Bgure. That woman who possesses a lithe and supple body, whose musclrs ire well trained and whose breathing is under perfect control, lias earned the first law of symmetry and harmony. To look at Ik. is an inspiration, to know her an incentive and to love her is to bid farewell forever to inertia and stagnation.

"Massage is a wonderful aid to the beauty of the throat

If due to mental effort, avoid brain activity during the evening. If the feet are cold induce sleep by a hot footbath or a hot-water bag. The lessening of brain congestion thus effected can be enhanced by applying cold to the head. A general hot bath will usually produce sleep far better than drugs, and drugs only palliate. If your lifo is sedentary, active exercie late in tho afternoon is advisable, together with a cold dip in the morning to improve the circulatory tone and brace up the sympathetic nervous system. The last meal of tho day should be light and easily digested. If you awake during the night und cannot get to slen a cracker and a glass of milk will often enable you to drop off again. When sleeplessness is due to acidity of the stomach half a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda will correct it. Avoid tea and coffee.

fJlY new nitrogen mazda lamp is cracked. What probably caused it? M. N. These new lamps get very hot and require that the air in contact with them cm the outside bo rene Ao J frequently, a condition of affairs well attained automatically if the lamp is hung without a shade. Your shade was probably one that kept the heated air in a pocket ftt the top which caused the damage. If you get a ventilated shade (which means one with an outlet for iie air at the apex) you should have r.o further trouble.

CORN MEAL PORRIDGE. 1 cup cornmeal Snips of water, or 1 teaspoonful salt 4 cups of milk, or milk ana water. DUT all the ingredients into a double boiler and cook for four hours. This can abo be prepared in a fireless cooker with advantage. After bringing the porridge to a boiling point place the vessel in the cooker and leave for flva to ten hours. For the above quantity at least four and one-half cups of water or milk and rater should be used. FRIED CORNMEAL PORRIDGE. jtflX cornmeal in ihren times its volume l' water, but cook it in water only long enough to .form a mush, and complete the cooking by frying the meal in butter or fat. This is not so stiff a- the ordinary fried meal porridge, and has the advantage of requiring a shorter time for its preparation, the temperature of fat suitable for frying being far greater than that of boiling water.

Tin- gas which is mixed with air befom It pets to the burners forms an explosive mixture. The action of such a mixture in burning quietly and at one spot depends upon two things: How fast explosion takes place from layer to layer. t ailed the speed of explosion, and how fast the mixture Is forced out by pressure. It Is obvious that if the mixture is forced out as fast as the explosion runs back, the actual point of burning will stay In one place; that Is. at the burner. The stove pops back generally just as you have turned on the gas and ignited it. Therefore, your gas running through the air In the pleve of pipe to the burner has not had time to get this air in motion and so the speed of explosion runs the point of ignition backwards to where the gas comes out as gas. It can go no further than this, for the gas will r.ot bum unless it Is mixed with air. It is possible also that the air hole lets in too much air for the gas pressure. So if the Jet continues to pop back, either close this hole further, or put your hand over it and let the pas run few seconds before you Imlte it. The burner localizes the icnition point between certain limits by being a good conductor of hraw .0

In -tiakinE it. allow one part of cornmeal to six parts of buttermilk and one teaspoonful of salt to each r ip of meal. CORNMEAL AND PORK. One pound lean pork, part meat and part bone. One cup corn meal. One-half teaspoon powdered age. One teaspoonful salt. Water as required pOOK the pork in water until the meat can be earily removed from the bone. Remove the meat.

BEANS AND OTHER LEGUMES. EANS and other plants of the legume family are of especial importance because they furnish the body with all the material needful for the development and repair of tissue. They help to keep the body in good running order and are considerably cheaper than many other protein foods. In a ddition to the energy-giving substances which they contain in large proportions, legumes are a valuable source of potassium, phosphorus, iron and calcum. Like milk.

fruits and vegetables in general legumes, with the exception of peanuts and lentils belong to the group of foods needed in the diet for the purpo.-e of preventing an excess of acid in the system: a condition that might arise from a too exclusive use of meat, eggs and cereals. Next to rice one of the most valuable articles of diet is legumes. Ten cuts ?pent for dried legumes will obtain from two to three times a much protein as if spent for meat at an average price. Mar.y experiments have been tried with legumes, and they have proved that more of the protein of the lecumes is utilized when they form part of a m-xed diet and are partaken of moderately, than when they are eaten alone day alter day. It is wwvAx vber. therefore, not to make them the :-d- article of diet in a meal. Uut when combined with other foods, surti green vegetaM s and fruit?, they are .-ururi-ingly effective. Three points, however, ni'iat be observed if the bou keeper wishes to secure the greatest uiilizatio: of the protein in aar v.iriety ot dried legume.-: 1 If possible the. skins must be removed (otherwise this may cause the formation of gas in tli intestines): i-) Thorough cooking in t-oC. nater. to which a small amount of soda ha bem added, and i ' tlieir modern" use in combination with other foods in a meal.
