Wooden Limb Gets Caught In he and

A wooden leg worn by John Co
meaugh caused its possessor TO meet a
tragic death on the Lehigh Valley rail-
road at Excelsior, Pa.
Mr.. Comeaugh, who was about 50
years old, had come to Shamokin earlier
in the day, and, after spending some
time there, started to walk home.
Tired by his tramp, which was not made
any easier by the fact that he only pos
sessed one sound leg, Mr.. Comeaugh de-
cided to take the shortest cut to his
home, a path which made it necessary
for him to cross the railroad tracks.
AS he came near the track, Mr..
Comeaugh heard the noise of an ap-

the muscles of the limbs are grasped.
and after the back is treated the chest
is gently tapped and pressed with the
ends of the fingers.
Massage of the face cannot be COM
pletely taught without visible illustra-
ton, but few useful movements can be
described. and nothing further should
be attempted by the novice; with the
fingers the face from the corners of the
mouth should be softly rubbed up and
outward, this tending to prevent the
hard line that often settles from the
nose down as the cheeks tend TO fall in
ward; the forehead can be rubbed with
the fingers from the center toward the
temples; for double chin one simple
movement is invaluable No one need
have a double chin, but the remedy
should be resorted to early. as in later
life the skin loses its elasticity. and it is
better to have a double chin than a
bew-lap; rub under the chin with fin
gers, beginning under one side and
drawing them out at the other. this
done with first one hand and then the
other makes many strokes minute
possible, and the flesh under such treat
ment will soon begin visibly to lessen
Much can also be done TO reduce the
stomach and abdomen in the same way,
a rotary movement being most effective
In all massage it is well TO OIL the hand

will absorb should be rubbed in in the
course of the usual movements. Oil
also tends to soothe nervous patients,
and is often most grateful.
Massage is mechanical and indis-
putable aid to circulation, and as in
prostration and fatigue, the blood
ceases to flow in proper quantities
through the arteries and is drawn off
to the veins lin death the blood leaves
the arteries sltogether). the relief of
restoring the equilibrium of the circu-
lation is instantaneous. The Japanese
regard massage as an Indispensable
feature of life, just as they and we look
upon a bath as a necessity. and in this
they are right, and ahead OF us.-Phila.
