JOURNAL. PORTLAND, SUNDAY
To strengthen the spine and learn how
to carry the upper part of the body no
Delsarte exercise could have more effect
than the simple home method of stand
ing half the length of the body from,
the wall, resting the head against It and
lifting a chair from the floor. In time
such a firm footing will be established
that It Is possible to pick the chair up
and regain an erect position.
Another exorcise to strengthen the
same muscles Is to rest the tips of the
fingers against the wall and lean toward
it as far as possible, always using the
hand as a guide to maintain equilib
rium. No exercise to cure round shoulders
and obtain an erect figure could be
better than to hold a book balanced on
the head while stepping up and down on
a chair. At first It la both tiresome and
difficult, but it soon becomes quite easy,
and It not only keeps the head in the
correct position, but it teaches the

tact with the skin should be avoid
ed, and Immediately after the hair
has been removed the denuded sur
face should be gently washed with
warm water and a cold' cream or a
bland oil applied to prevent irrita
tion. Exercise is Necessary
CURIOUS Every one should take a
certain amount of exercise In the open
air. The best form of exercise, and the
most natural. Is correct walking, which
brings Into play every function of the
body. A healthy person may easily
walk five miles a day; those who hava
not sufficient strength should only go
so far as is not fatiguing.

Walking a rail between two chairs U
not only beneficial, but It is extremely
Interesting, and for the awkward and
clumsy girl no better exercise could be
devised. At first a pole may be used
to prevent falls, but It is not long before
the body becomes accustomed, tit bal

be discarded. s
As for acquiring lightness of step or
fairy tread, what can take the piace of
rope Jumping and. really, what could be)
more fun? After the simple Jumping;
many variations may be tried, and when
every step has been masterld there Is)
always a waltzing step that can be -
used. It is all such a great help and
leaches so much that no set exercise
need be adhered to after It proves la
the least bit tiresome. i
may be adapted to almost all skla
diseases:
