This page contains health and lifestyle content typical of early 20th-century magazines. **"Home Girl Keeps Fit"** features June Hough, a "Follies Girl," demonstrating exercises. The accompanying text celebrates her as embodying "vigorous womanhood" through Daily Life's health rules, appealing to readers' aspirations for fitness. **"Better Bodies"** is a health advocacy column promoting Daily Life's circulation by linking newspaper reading to personal wellness—a self-promotional strategy common in period magazines. **"Percy the Pie-Face"** is a comic strip showing a beach scene where a man encounters women in swimwear. The joke appears to turn on reactions to his appearance versus theirs, playing on period attitudes about male-female attractiveness standards and beach culture. The overall theme emphasizes health, fitness, and modern leisure activities.
