SIX CRIMES OF MAN.

BARE NECKS SWEETEN WOMAN’S TEMPER. Most people commit six crimes, according to Dr Leonard Williams, who, speaking at Olympia, London, said they:— Stuff, sleep and slack too much. Breathe too little. Drink too little water, and Think too little. 1 hey stuff, said Dr Williams, because they cat cooked and devitalised foods in a vain endeavour to get vitality out of dead things. Other health points the lecturer made were: The most gluttinous creature can never overeat himself if he confines his diet to those things which nature intended him to ent—dairy produce, uncooked fruits, salads and other foods which have not been deprived of their vitality. A perfectly healthy person ought not to require more than six hours* sleep. People live soft instead of living hard. Overclothing, hot rooms. hot baths, fear of chills, coddling—are things which do a. great deal of barm in the long run. Cold is our Lest friend, and it is a draught which keeps the vital fires burning. People are content to get ill and demand a cure, but the function of the doctor is not to enable society to sin without suffering Since the hare-neck fashion has been in vogue women have been much better tempered and better looking. If women bring the same amount ».f sense to bear upon corsets and high ing generation of beauty.
