A STOPPING figure and a halting gait, &C
c~oinpanied by the unavoidable weakness of
lungs incidental to a narrow chest, may
be entirely cured by a very simple and
easily performed exercise Of raising ones
self upon the toes ~leisureIy in a perpendi-
cular position several times daily.
To take this excerise properly one must
take a perfectly upright position, with the
heels together and the toes at an angle Of
10 degrees. Then drop the arms lifelessly
by the sides, animating and raising the
chest to its full capacity muscularly, the
chin well drawn ia, and the crown of the
head feeling as if it were attached to a
string suspended from the ceiling above.

exercising all the muscles of the legs and
body; come again into standing position
without sHayiug the body backward out
Of the perfect line. Repeat this same exer-
else, first on one foot, then on the other.
It is wonderful what a straightening-out
power this exercise has upoa round shoul-
ders and crooked backs, and one will be
surprised to note how oon the lungs begin
to show the effect Of such expansive de-
.velopment.

A mother sends the following kindly, wise
words: "Allow me to say a few words in
regard to the children's eyes. Years ago,
when the children studied their lessons
from their books, we did not hear very
much about their eyes giving ont. Let us
consult our b~lackboards and see what they
can tell us about this worldwide subject.
Dear parents and guardians all over this
broad land, low many hours through the
day are your little children sitting in school
staring at a blackboard, upon which are
placed by the teacher most Of the lessons
for the Gay, many times the lines being so
fine and pale they could not be easily read
more than half or two-thirds the way across
the room, but the children are required to
see them all the way across and from tie
remotest corners. Many OF the child
ren when first looking at the board do
not see much of anything, but looking very
sharp for q few seconds the lines reveal
themelves. THIS, my friend, means strain
ed eyes, and strained eyes mean weakened
or diseased optic nerves, possibly no eyes
az all-it all depending upon the severity
of the strain. Even when the work is quite
distinct, for children who have naturally
weak eyes the distance many times is SO
great that the air waves coming between
the poor, tired eyes and the board causes
the lines TO waver and flicker, and especial
~ is this the case when the light is o
and the ventilation bad. Anything put on
the board for children to see, whether old
or young. should have large proportions
and broad, clear lines throughout, SO no
extra efforts will nave to be made to dis
cover it. There is a great difference in
eyes: one child will readily see what anoth-
er could not without the fatal strain. /

were nearly destroyed through this same
practice. and | know Others who have suf-

HOW IT Is DONE.

Naturally you didn't ask him, and you
would be very indignant indeed if any
body suggested that you had forced the
poor fellow into bringing you the flowers,
candy, or in taking you to the concert. No.
you didn't ask him. but you couldn't have
been any clearer about it than you were
when you looked into his eyes in your
most beseeching way and told him how
anxious you were to hear the great violin
list; how sweet you thought %violets, and
how you did wish for a pound of chocolate.
He didn't want to get any of these, he
hadn't the money 70 spend for them; he
doesn't get a very large salary, he is trying
to keep himself out of debt, and yet be-
cause he is generous and can't resist a
pretty girl. you have forced him into a dis
honest position. That's it, in plain En-
glisb. When the end of the week comes
and he is SO short in his money, a little
bit on his board bill must wait, his lauD-
dress can not be attended to, and the mon
ey that should go home must be a~pelogized
AVi' hio u tuo Aist SUP tO"diu EUt dO-
ing his duty, and you have made him take
it. The American man is generous, and
when he has the money he will invite you
himself without your suggesting to him
what you ike or what you think he ought
to do. Besides the harm you do him, you
are making yourself yulgar-he has a per-
feet right to go away and say that he
doesn't want to visit at your house any
more, because you hint and hint until he
has to take you to some place of
amusement, ormake you presents and that,
for his part he can not afford it. Continue as
you are doing. and after awhile you will
get the reputation among men of being a
very undesirable girl to know, and certain
ly no man who has heard of your reputa-
ton to '.get things out of men, will want
to ask you to be his wife. Better stay at
home forever than go self-invited; better
never taste candy than eat that obtained
at the high cost of self-respect; better new
er smell a violet or a rose than forget, in
your search for them, that it is the modesty
of the violet and the dignity of the rose
that make them pre-eminent among flow

circular saw. which whites out the slot

out of the turn-table by the same appliance

OATMEAL AS FOOD.

Oatmeal, says a physician, writing in the
Chicago Inter Ocean, has recently received
some adverse criticisms. This is not sur
prising, as no food article is just the thing
in every case or at all times. 1t is natural
and best to have some variation of the diet.
One thing may be just adapted to the state
of the ENTHUSIASTICALLY and mentally
at one time and not at some other: while
with another it may never agree. The
eternal fitness of things needs to be care
fully studied. But chemistry, physiology,
and experience all prove oatmeal one of the
most valuable cereal foods for producing
good muscles and clear heads.
Why, then, is it frequently found to dis
agree? 1t is easily answered. By being
used almost exclusively as mush, it is swal-
lowed so easily that it is not properly mix
ed with the saliya-the first step for diges-
ton. A good authority says. "No saliva,
no digestion" If any soft food, mush
or toast, etc., is swallowed too rapidly, or
n food is washed down with tea, coffee,
milk or water, some degree OF indigestion
is thereby produced sooner or later, as
often shown by a sense of f~ulness, discom-
fort, belching and other disturbances.
Ifthere is a lack of saliva, or that of pro-
per quality, it is often best to eat some bard
kind of bread, as the thin, hard, Scotch
oatmeal bread, bread crusts, rusks, etc.,
when the teeth admit af IL and very slow-
ly, to thus naturally increase the amount
and quality of saliva. Such a course is
often a better and a safer corrective thar
all the drugs in the country.
