cles affected are those between the Shout
ders and the neck. These muscles aid in
keeping the head up.
BY varying this exercise a little the mus
cles joining the shoulders to the back are
brought into play. These muscles pull back
the shoulders and keep them in proper posi-
ton. Assume the previous position. Raise
the elbows as high as possible, and at the
same time shove the shoulders down hard.
In this exercise, as in all others where a
stick is used-an umbrella will do just as
weli-the stick should be held lightly. 1t is
only used that the hands will have
something to occupy their attention and
not keep dragging the arms from the posi-
tions necessary to the exercises.
Exercise III. AS in all of these exer-
cises. first place the body in the proper
standing position. Grasp a stick in front of
the body and have the arms slightly bent.
Bend the body forward from the hips Zig
ure . and throw back the hips, the Shout
ders and the head as far as possible, form
ing a pronounced curve in the middle of the
back. Endeavor constantly to make the
curve greater. Nearly all of the muscles
in the middle of the back will be brought
into use. These are the muscles that If
not looked after cause stitches in the

suffering Tn Oklahoma

WICHITA, Kan., March 10.-Dozens of cases of starvation and hundreds of destitute families are being found Il the newly opened Oklahoma country All of them are persons who drew farms in the last free land opening at El Reno in August, 1901. Their supply of cash has run out, and, not being able to get loans upon their property to tide them over until the first crop is marketed, they find themselves in dire need. The farms, although they have title to them, are not subject to loans until the property has been lived upon the required fourteen months. So in this way the persons who drew farms free are as poor as those who did not. The season has been cold one for Oklahoma and families living in tents have died from cold.

Coal Men Also Want to Form Con-
 bination-Bill for Freeing Peasants
 From Taxation Bay Be Means or
 Abolishing the Commune
 St Petersburg, Feb 1.-The iron and
 steel industries of Russia are clamor-
 ing for permission to organize trust, and for higher tariffs, especially on az
 ricultural and other machinery. The
 ministry of finance has called on all
 the other governmental authorities to furnish q list of articles commonly inn ported for their use from abroad and will try to devise means to limit such importatiOns.
 The coal interests have petitloned the government for permission to form
 trust and organize an export once with obligatory participation by all mines.
 Dr l.. IT. Linn, NJ. D., of Rochester, N. Y, who was formerly q dentist Ill
 this city. is here for the purpose ot ln- quiring into the prospects of the intro duction of dentistry ill the Russian army. He brought with him field
 operating chair which has greatly in terested the army authorities. A Scotch English Belgian syndicate is reported to be planning the erection of q central slaughter house, quays, docks and electric street railroads at Warsaw, at an expense of 30,OOO,0OO roubleS.
 Even as America has beaten Russia from the international wheat market by improving the methods of cultiva-
 tion, so will she infallibly drive this
 country out of the flax thread trade ill the same way. dolefully predicts an in- tereSted expert in a Seml-offlclal news
 paper. Russia now produces two thirds of the flax thread consumed in the civilized world. A present q pood
 of thread and pood and quarter of seed cost fifty-eight hours of labor i'll Yaroslaff, of which fourteen hours are spent in cultivation and forty-one
 hours in preparation. Russian labor costs four copeks per hour, American
 g, so that Russian pre-eminence is now due to cheap labor alone. Refer
 ring to report by Special Agent Dodge of the United States department of agriculture, the writer predicts that | improvements now being introduced will quickly overcome this difference in the cost of labor.
 It is reported that the finance min | istry has brought before the council
 of the empire a bill to free peasants
 within the bounds of each commune,
 from mutual obligation for the pay ment of taxes. If passed it will go a 1 long way towards abolishing the com
 mune itself. The fear that ones horse or utensils will be seized for the pay
 ment of taxes owing by other peasants 1 is one of the main causes of rural | shiftlessness.
 The examination of baggage at the Russian frontiers. which has hitherto
 given travellers little difficulty, is to be
 made more severe. As the railroad au- l thorities do not wish to hold trains in
 definitely at frontier stations it was 1 decided that, when traffic is heavy
 only the baggage of passengers bound for towns without a custom house will l be examined at the frontier. It seems | to be intended that travellers going into l towns with custom houses shall go in person to the custom houses, often sev-
 eral miles away, but it is provided that
 those who express the desire may have
 the examination performed at the ter minal railroad station

LIGHT AND WATER.
Some of the Results of Municipal Own.

efSulD.
 At Logansport, Ind, the city charge for lighting dwellings with electricity is in no instance 20 per light per month, and when sixty-seven lights are used in one house the charge is only S1.29 cents a month, or less than 2 cents per light per month for all night service! And that pays enough profit to enable the city to have 123 arc lights without costing the town a centi But city ownership is not a success!
 Benton Harbor, Mich, has put in a city electric plant. It had been paying $96 year for arc lights. The city electrician, on test, has just shown that 1t now costs SPA a yeari This in- cludes every expense, direct and indi- rect. The lights are 5000 candle power, instead of 1000, formerly used. Will the people ever wake up?
 The municipal electric light plant at Martinsville, Ind, has saved the citi- zens of the town $2,2O0 per year since It's inauguration nine years ago. The plant will soon be paid for.
 Jamestown, N. r.. recently voted down the proposition to purchase the city water plant for $7O0,OOO, because the price was too high. The citizens are in favor of municipal water plant and will vote on the proposition to erect plant of their own in a short time If the people of that burg build and equip plant for $300.000 and thus make the private company's property worthless, will the people of James town be open to the charge of confisea- tion7
