How TO LEARN TO SWIM M-Every
hov should know how TO swim, and
GIRLS too for that matter. How MANY
tragedies would he avoided If youth
would but acquire tl,e simple ar OF
swimming! 1t is we'll SAID that man
is the only animal that loses himself
in the water. AS the season for
swimming is at hand, we append Oh
rections for acquiring the art OF SWIM
ming as furnished by a correspondent
of the American Agricnlturist
When | was boy learned to swim
by means of swimming board.
This is the safest method possible. If
corks are used they may slip from
around .he breast Gown beneath the
body, throwing the head beneath the
surface, and putting the wearer In
danger of drowning. Some country
BOYS get two bladders and then tie
them together with a short cord, and
use these as supporters. They are the
most dangerous things possible for
boy to have The board is perfectly
safe. and one can learn to swim in a
very short time by using one. 1T
should be over four feet long, over a
foot wide and two inches thick, made
of soft pine or cedar.
To use it boy wades in the water
ND to his shoulders. then taking hold
of the ends of the board, lie pushes it
before him-towards the bank and not
into the deep water-spiings forward
with his feet and throws himself fiat
upon the water This movement car
ries him along few feet. He then
draws up both his legs at the same
time. keeping his knees as far apart as
possible. and then strikes out with
both feet, not straight backward, but
sideways, just as a frog does. The
stroke is made slowly, and is repeated
again, drawing up the legs slowly and
steadily. The board keeps the head
above the water. When the leg stroke
has been learned, one hand is taken
from the BOARD and the stroke learned
or the chin NAV be rested upon the
board while the stroke is taken with
both hands. This is very good plan
and it compels the swimmer to keep
his hands under water, which he shoulc
always do By and by the board
may be pushed ahead, and the young
swimmer may follow after iJ. always
keeping it within reach. When q
number Of boys 90 10 swim, they
should always have two or three of
these boards with them for use, in
/ case of accident.

Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it Is kent
fully up to its high standards and it
is the only reliable anC perfected prep
iration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
1t removes all eruptions and dandruff,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
BY its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger = in badness, it restores the
capillary glands TO their normal vigor,
and will create a new growth. except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
IS it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap-
pearance. a. a. Hayes, Md, State
Assayer of Massachusetts, SAYS, The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"
