HC8B new exercises present a
radically new system or pnysicai
culture. They are called contour
exercises, because they consist
In following the outlines of the body and
letting the system build Itself upon na
ture's own lines. No apparatus la re
quired, nor Instruction other than the
simple directions given. Tbelr division
into groups for the development of dif
ferent parts of the body la only for con
venience In presentation, aa the entire
series is so correlated that each set rein
, forces the effects of all the others, and
harmony of result will be best obtained
by Judiciously balancing the groups so
that general development will go hand-
In-hand with the more speciflo develop- -

- I am- often asked -why-exercises- are
commended for both thin and atout
people. What makes a figure faulty Is
that It Is either too thin or too fat. and
both-conditions are due to Improper

-In ene caee the lack of oroper -exer-t
else permits the deposit of fat In and
around the muscles and entirely de-
troys the clean Unea that make for
beauty. ' . - . - -
In the other ease, the leanneas Is
similarly due to lack of atlmulation by
properly diversified movements. Proper
nourishment means balance between
food and use. Too little use not too

Undoubtedly those " brown splotches
upon forrhoad and temples are "liver
spots." External applications can do
little good until the cause Is removed.
In "doctoring." as you call It have you
been careful of your diet, avoiding rich
food, pork In every form, hot breada
and sweets T Have you abstained from
both coffee and teat Do you live prin
cipally upon fresh or stswed fruit and
green vegetables?
The trouble with so many who treat
for liver disorder is that while they .
may be faithful In taking medicine, '

the diet queetion
se. aa well both tne
most important factors In ridding ons's

pores and the blackheads both point
to the same causes: and what you call
"small freckles" are, probably, tiny
liver spots, instead. - J

At least ten hours'
oat of event twenty-four. In addi
tion to this, naps during the day if
possible. This sleep roust always be
natural. Nothing is so bad for the
appearance and general health as
sleep Induced by anodynes or nar
cotics In any form. The diet should
be liberal and ahould consist largely
of food containing starch and sugar;
potatoes, fresh, eweet butter, milk,
cream, fruits cooked and served with
ugar, all vegetables containing starch
and sugar, such aa corn, sweet pota
toes, beans, peas, foods of the maca
roni and spaghetti kinds, fish and
oystsrs, ice cream, desserts without
pastry; plenty of outdoor life and a
moderate amount "of exercise. Sleep'
In a well-ventilated room. I do not
telleve any one can gain flesh If there
la an Internal disease; certainly not It
there le any tendency to dyspepsia or
liver trouble. Where the patient la
plump In one part of the body and
fails In another a gymnastio course is
advised. There is nothing better than .
bicycling, unless It may be a regular
gymnastio course. In order to pur
sue the latter properly the paiient la
advised to go to a first-class gymna
sium, submit to an examination, and
take the exercises prescribed by the ,
attendant physician. These-gymnasiums,
at moderate - prices, may be
found In a town of any else in. the
country. Where the development la
meagre In the upper part of the body
swimming is also an exoellent exer
cise. Walking is always wholesome.
The patient who wishes to gain flash
can never do so if she worries, le
harassed , or permits her nerves --tottget
the best of her. .
Masssglng the face with a good skin
food will Eastsn the results In that
direction.
