HEALTH AND BEAUTY

Health conditions are naturally the study of a medical man', but it should ho a study also,to all in the sense that healthful conditions of the body are a necessity to life, writes Madame Rohana in an exchange. “An army marches on its stomach,” Napoleon once affirmed. The stomach controls lifo, mentally and physically, therefore it should bo given enough opportunity of obtaining the best rhethods of exercise for muscles and circulation. All sorts of minor troubles cause a great deal of annoyance if care is not taken, and then the big ■ troubles of muddy complexions, rod noses, impoverished hair, all arise from the same source. The real root of the evil is that the gastric juices are not properly circulated. The whole body becomes torpid, and beauty of face and form lose their charm.

The following exorcise has a most salutary effect, promoting health strength, and youthful vigour. Of course, there are many excellent medicines prescribed by medical men that, sometimes give immediate but not lasting relief, for medicines, if taken continually, lose their effect, therefore systematic exercises will greatly help the body, keeping a woman's figure, as it should he, perfect. .The following exercise should at first he performed slowly until proficiency is gained:—Body erect, feet slightly apart, toes slightly turned in for balance, hands clenched, arms hanging. Turn the upper part of the body to the left, at- the same time raising arms level with shoulders. Turn slowly again to the front, lowering arms. Repeat movement to the right side. The twisting should be done only from tlie waist, keeping hips firm and not turning the feet. Tin's exorcise should be performed ten times. Deep steady breaths be taken all the time the exercise is performed, inhaling and exhaling through the nose.

HAVE YOU A LARGE HERD?

Or have you just enough cows to keep you busy without help? In either case, there’s a “Domo” Separator in a size, and at a price to suit yon. You ail! get years of service from the Domo—-and it skims to .01 all the time. Details from Cooper and Duncan, Ltd., Dome Guarantors. Christchurch. W. R. May and Cv\ Ltd., Nelson Agents. f .
