HOW TO BE HEALTHY.
Take an Air Bath Every Morning and
Every Night for the Benefit of
Muscles and Lungs.

Two baths, say the newest health
authorities, should be taken every
morning.
bath for the body is the air bath for
the lungs.
Perhaps you have never taken an
air bath and mistakenly fancy that
it may be necessary to turn yourself
inside out to accomplish it.
On the contrary, the directions are
extremely simple.
You need no apparatus and it takes
but a moments time and very little
effort.
Every night the lungs become filled
up with impure air and more or less
poisonous gases. A person may go
all day without Kidding his lungs of
these impurities. Therefore it is as
important to battle the lungs every
day as the body.
Few people know how to breathe
correctly. The lungs are not filled by
merely expanding the upper portions
of the chest and raising the shoul-
should be forced out as one inhales.
There are number of exercises for
expanding the chest which you can
practice in your room as well as in a
gymnasium. A doorway will serve
as well as the most complicated gym
nasium apparatus. A narrow door
way is preferred. Stand directly I'M
der the frame and place the hands
fat on the decreasing, the tips of
the fingers coming at the height of
the shoulders. Walk through the
door without removing the hands I'M
til you are arms length away. This
draws back the shoulders and brings
the important chest muscles into
play. Try this for Is minutes every
night and morning. 1t will help to
wake you up when you rise and help
you to get to sleep quickly when you
go to bed.
Another plan is to expand the chest
the same way before an open win
dow. Stand about a foot back from
the window, placing the hands on the
window frame on either side at the
height of the shoulders. Without
moving the feet, let the body swing
forward as far as possible and return
to perpendicular position. Prac-
tice this about 20 times night and
morning at intervals of ten seconds.
Another exercise bath for the arms
and lungs is to stand with the heels
together and take deep breath.
Then stretch one arm backward and
upward, then the other, meanwhile
moving the body backward, forward
and to the sides while expelling the
breath slowly.-N. Y. World.

\ woman!" Why is it necessary for
her constantly to conjure up thoughts
of sex difference? I think it i'm
moral.
To-day we call love passion. True
love is a quality of the mind, not of
the body. Until men love with the
mind woman will not have her right
place in the world. Passion is brutal;
love is divine!
Does the modern form of evening
dress-undress 1 call it-appeal to the
passions or the souls of men? Do the
yards of dainty laces, the variegated
hosiery, the thousand and one what
nots of the modern maiden's gown ap-
peal to the purer or baser idea?
There would be fewer crimes
against women if the suggestive in
woman's wardrobe were eliminated
Modern forms of dress accentuate
rather than subdue these evil sug-
gestions. "What is most daring?" is
the question with the modiste, not
What is purest?"
A woman's charms of person and
mind should be her store of wealth.
At present her physical charms are
paraded before the world that all may
see. She does not so parade her beau
ties of mind.
Sometimes her physical charms are
counterfeit; they are used as a snare.
She cannot counterfeit her mental
qualities.
In trousers, waistcoat and frock coat
woman would find protection that she
much needs. She would be freer of
motion and limb, would have better
health, cleaner mental condition and
be mans superior in the things she
should have most of-of purity of body
and mind.
Soner or later my ideas will bear
full fruit. The wheels of progress
and intellectually move slowly. / do
not expect to live long enough to see
my ideas of dress the vogue. 1 shall
have to die; then the seed that have
sown will ripen and grow and bud and
bloom-and I? Well, perchance may
be forgotten. 1t matters not SO long
as I have been even means to good
end.

THE TOOTH OF BUDDHA.
Strange People in the Far East WOr.
ship q Yellow Piece of Ivory
with Strange Rites

In Ceylon. the Isle of Flowers, the
Buddhist religion is so amalgamated
with the Hindoo mythology which
Buddha sought to obliterate that the
practical result of his teaching has
been to add one more god-himself-
and innumerable objects to those al
ready so numerous. The Singhalese
still place a servile reliance in their
devil priests and many barbaric prac-
tees are INDUCED in in the name of
religion.
There is a curious blending of
faiths supposed to be entirely an
tagonistic one to another. Especially
is this brought out at the greatest
annual festival of Randy, assumed to
be a great Buddhist ceremony, where
as it is really all in honor of several
Hindoo gods and goddesses, the
Buddhist's part being simply the nom
inal loan of relic-in truth, the
loan of an empty shrine. But seeing
that the relic in question claims to
be no less a treasure than that of a
veritable tooth of Guatama Buddha,
and is the object of unbounded rever-
ence to all the many millions (some-
where about 100000, COO who worship
him, and a relic for the possession OF
which bloody wars have been fought
and incredible sums of money offered
it is perhaps not to be wondered at
that the priests took good care to
lock it up securely before allowing
it's shrine to join in the procession
of relics of the Hindoo gods.
1t is said that Handy, where the
sacred tooth is preserved, owes its
very existence as the mountain cap
ltal to the fact of this precious Bit
of bone having been taken there fol-
safety in the sixteenth century. The
Dalada Maligwa, the Temple of the
Tooth, has been year by year en-
riched by the offerings of the count
less throng of pilgrims who do hom
age to- the relic by offering gifts Of
gold and silver ornaments, coins
Jewels, vestments for the priests
fruit and flowers. The latter are al
all times a graceful feature of this
worship, for as none care to appear
empty-handed before the altar Of
Buddha, there are few in all the
throng of worshipers who have not
some flowers to offer. Among the
legendary acts of devotion we are
told of one who is said to have of.
fered 100000 of blossoms in one day

Brave and Fearless Boy.

Eddie Ryan is Boston boy who
possesses fearless heart. A short
time ago, while standing near the
foot of Liverpool street, he saw a
runaway horse dashing down the
street, and knew that in a moment
it would endanger the lives of two
small boys. Without assistance he
rushed to where the boys were sit
ting, near the curb, unconscious of
danger, and pulled both just out of
the course of the runaway. The act
was bravely done, and none too soon.

way passed over young Ryan's foot.
The injury was slight, however. and
in short time the young man had
recovered. His action was witnessed
by only few people, but those who
saw it say that Ryan is young hero.

A HOLIDAY SONG.

The green wood from the hilltop looks,
Ard waves its hundred hands to say:
Now lay aside your tiresome books,
Dear children, come to me and play,
And scamper through my shady hooks
The livelong summer day.
The brook that by the schoolhouse ran
Now calls you with a merry shout:
Come pull my lilies, little man,
And wade and swim and splash about,
And catch my fishes, Qf you CAMP
For school at last is out!'

which will connect the Louisville and

Is for the convenience of patrons,
but not for the interruption of school
work. 1t has been removed from the
Principals Office and is now so located
in the building that it can be answered
promptly from the study hall without
any interruption of class-work. But
no pupil or teacher who is engaged in
recitation work can afford to answer a
telephone call until the recitation has
closed. If you call for them at such a
time you will be requested to give your
number SO that they may call you up
when the recitation has closed. This
rule is absolutely necessary aud will
be enforced in the future as it has
been in the past, so please do not take
offense if it inconvenience you a
little.
Telephone requests for pupils to be
sent home are not always granted, as
there are frequent attempts to perpe-
trate fraud in this matter and the
Principal is compelled to exercise
great caution in granting such re-
quests.
Messages to pupils or teachers will
be cheerfully delivered: you will gen.
orally find this method more satisfac-
tory than waiting till they can come to
the phone.
Very respectfully,

A correspondent to the Brookhaven
LEADER last week, said:
THE peach trees are in bloom, the
mocking bird sings merrily and we
have seen a few humble bees, all of
which encourage hopes that spring is
here"
But, dear Billy, those peach blooms
have been chilled, the hooking bird
has hushed his song, and that "bumble
bee" is hid away in some gimlet hole
of last seasons boring, as stiff as a
poker. Ever thus, from childhood's
hour, we see our fondest hopes decay.

To the Editor Of The Leader:

companies are going around this town

honest, unpaid death claims, having
contested ten of its claims In the State

oollgations, the company is not a re-
liable or safe insurance organization
In which to place or carry insurance.
Enough has been published by re-.
sponsible papers and credible sources
to nullify these unwarranted. discour-
teous, ungentlemanly, untruthfuI and
UNANIMOUSLY discredible statements that
have been made in reference to the
standing of the Mutual Reserve.

place the slanderer where he belongs.
