If Your Child Is Naughty
EVERY
RY baby is, to himself anyway, the very centre
of the universe. Everybody and everything revolve about his most important person. People run to obey his every wish, and admiration enough to turn the head of a prima donria showers upon him. He has an insatiable appetite for appre- ciation. And nurse parents, visitors, all voice their admira- tion of baby's startling progressor and charms.
Then one day he finds himself older-less noticed and jess admired Possible there is an- other baby in the nursery. He is indignant, rebels and becomes exceedingly naughty. He tries by ugly means to gain the atten- tion he now lacks. He feels his KTWITg po er and shows it over- vigorously to a bewildered par-

This is the trouble with most people. They want to get slim. but they cannot be bothered to make the effort.

What "wholesome neglect” dors consist of is avoiding most of those ways we mentioned-and that would mean:
Avoid looking at a child all the time. Just watch yourself and the other adults and you will see exactly what I mean, if you've" Dever suspected yourself of this habit before.
Avoid, above all things, talking about what the child does and says-telling each other or visitors in the child's hearing of bis. antics or his amusing sayings or his "bright" remarks of his naughtiness.
Avoid constantly offering enter- tainment and diversion. This foster lack of concentration and makes child exacting.

The best exercises are those which are so balanced as to bring all the mascles into play, es- pecially around the parts which you want to slim. In the ease of women, these usually mean

One of the most effective exer- cises I have met for strengthening the abdomen can be done the following way
Bend down until the tips of the fingers touch the floor.
Walk six steps in this position,, and thes
straighten up. Bend for another six steps, then straighten again, and so on round the room.
If your family happen to se you, they will probably, think “you have had a seizure, or that you: have taken to some form of hea-

Bending from the waist, with the arms outstretched, and twisting so that the right hard touches the left toe, and vice-versa, is a splen- did exercise for reducing the waist, while for the hips, there is nothing -better than simple rolling. Lie on your back on the floor, and keep- ing the shoulders fat, twist and roll the lower part of the body. from side to side.
