I have been advlaed to follow the fol lowing Instructions to hold the flabby bust: - "Take a piece of muslin the else et bust measure, the width from under the arms to the top of the corset. Kaaten In tha front with hooks and eyes. At. tach a strip over each shoulder to keep It In place," - - r Do you think this Is dangerous? Please answer In your columns. Yours truly, ALICE. - Why not us a brassiere that has been fashioned Jby makers what know their business, and which - surely can be better In shape and more satisfac tory in adjustment than the improvised bandage mentioned? Any overbinding of the buet is dangerous. Deep breath Ins: systematically taken . and arm ex ercises will make the flesh solid and do much more good than the binding up of the fleshy parts. , " . To Reduce Weight V Dear Mra. Symes. I weigh lit pounds and am t feet inches tail. I -am 1 years old. Do I weigh too much, and how can I reduce? P. R. You sr exceedingly tail and heavy for your age, but proportionately I think that you are not too heavy. The chedul is different for women than for -men. You do not glv me any idea re garding, your sex. -If you arc Jn good health, I would do nothing to reduce. Of course, if your flesh Is flabby and not ln good condi tion, that is another story. Exorcise, giving free regular play to all parts of the body and taken in the fresh air, will brina; about a normal weight. Your diet should be well varied, with all atarchy food excluded. These are pota toes, cereals, white bread,, etc. Blackheads Dear Mrs. 9ymea. ' " WtU you kindly te m ram thin to get rid ef bleclLbeads and a red noae? M.
