Is danding a healthful form of recreation within the special meaning of the Baths and Wash- horises Act?:

Town councillors who intend to follow the sensible example of Aston Corporation, who have arranged to substitute dancing for swimming at the local baths during the winter months, must decide this question.

Miss Margaret Morris, the well-known exponent of dancing after the Great technique, has no doubt on the matter. When she was visited by a Daily Chronicle representative, she said:

"There are so many sedentary occupations nowadays that people don't get nearly enough exercisa in the ordinary course. Anything which makes for movement is on

But vivaciously sing, is you stagger and swing.

Or if there is a strike, and you haven't a bike,

Just step out with your face all aglow,"

And exclaim with a smile as you cover each mile-

"Cheerio!"

If you're racked by a cough and the gas is cut off,

And the mutton is down to the knuckle,,

Do not frown or be glum, should your relatives me,

But express your delight by a chuckle';

"So far as actual beneficial effects are concerned, people have been sent to me to dance because they had flat feet, curvature of the spine, and other troubles. In these cases dancing, of course, wes combined with remedial exercises. But dancing alone is excellent for one thing-that is, for a faulty digestion.

"Have I good health? Why, excellent, and I have been dancing since I was eight years old." I was trained as a ballet dancer, but when I was about 17 I began to dance on Greek lines. And I am still dancing."

HEALTH EXPERT'S SUPPORT. Mrs. "Eustace Miles, asked for her opinion approached the ques- tion from the special standpoint of a food expert who helps people to win and retain good health.

"I am tremendously in favour of dancing." she said at once. "It is a very healthy exercise and the rhythm is so different from that of work-a-day life. Then the music is healthful and belpful.

THE EMOTIONS AND DIGESTION WHY LAUGHTER IS GOOD

AT MEALTIMES...

There is a curious relation be- tween the emotions and the pro- cess of digestion. It is a scientific factthat sudden grief or joy will! instantly arrest digestion and the functions of the stomach will not be resumed until the unusual emotion has subsided.

The truth is that the stomach "needs a good supply of rich red blood to properly perform its duty and if the supply is called away to the brain digestion stops.

If you worry and think about your troubles at mealtime you are on the road to indigestion, and the more you do it the more troubles you will have to think about. Laughter is an aid to digestion but plenty of rich blood is a necessity.

That being the case, the first thing to do in dyspepsia, or indigestion, especially in the form of stomach trouble generally called nervous dyspepsia, is to build up the blood, and it is because Dr. Williams' Pink Pilla do exactly this that they stand pre-eminent as a remedy in such cases. They are a tonic for the blood and nerves, and they begin at once to build up the system weakened by excess, worry, over- work, or other causes. The rich, red blood soon begins to show in cheeks and lips, the step, Is quicker, the eyes are bright, and the good effect is felt in ever organ of the body.
