BETTING EVERY nOScZF or
NzHE>B01y. 70 N0RH.:

. 1nprn ~ Is the secret Of the nonsuccess
Of most persons who try athletics and fail
to develop any really satisfactory muscle.
BY this is meant not the laziness that
makes a person loaf and dodge work. but
the unconscious laziness that makes him
use only one muscle or only one set OF
muscles for work that should be done by
the use OF all the muscles.
d, Many boys and men exercise in gym
nasiums without really straining their
muscles.
They pull at heavy weights and at ap-
paratus instead of lifting. They push the
punching bag instead Of striking. They
nounder up the rope or the inclined ladder
instead OF climbing.
So. if a boy thinks that he is doing the
short-arm exercise just described. when he
stands slouched and loose-jointed. and flaps
his arms UP and down, he Is extremely mis-
taken. He is not doing athletics. He Is
laying even while he imagines that he is
working like a trojan.
LIGHT DuMBBkLLS
SHOULD BE USED.
An objection to ttis short-srm exercise is
that it does not do more than to exercise
the blceps muscle. Therefore. the use OF
hight weights IN both hands is to be recon-
lnended.
Many professional athletic instructors ad-
wise against the use OF oumbbels weigh
ing more than one-half pound. but there is
no real reason why q boy OF average mus
cular strength should not use one or two
pound dumupellS Win advantage
As soon as any such weight Is used with
the short-arm exercise. you will find that
your abdominal muscles are called on sud
denly and strongly. And that is even a
greater advantage than the advantage to
The arm muscles.
Now don't make the mistake that Is made
by many men and boys of trying to avoid
The use of the abdominal muscle under the
impression that you will rob the arm of
the work that YOU wish to give it. The more
You can make all the muscles act in con-
junction. the more you will be making
real athlete Of yourself and-the better it
will be for that biceps muscle.
As matter of fact, the biceps muscle is
often great fraud Lots of boys and men
who can show huge ones aren't strong
enough in the rest Of the body to be worth
mentioning.
Sailors, soldiers. hunters and other men
who work for their living in similar condl-
lions do not develop the huge biceps mus

OF course gasoline with little white soap
rubbed on the parts that are most soiled will
cleanse. but repeated use OF this method
Will rot the garment, and there is feeling
that only soap and water really cleanses.
The first part of a shirt waist to get soiled
Is the sleeves. These should be protected
when at work by half sleeves worn over
them In hot weather a handkerchief tucked
in at the throat, when at work, will save
the neckwear and not look untidy.
The front Of the waist also Is apt to show
soil when the rest Of the garment remains
presentable Some office workers use a
fancy handkerchief pinned over that place
also.
A bit of powdered chalk rubbed on the
soiled spot at night and busted off in the
morning will cleanse it. This is used on
white wooden waists. the powder being ap-
piled when the garment is taken OF and per-
mitted to remain until it Is to be worn
again. This saves dollars from the charges
for dry cleaning.
UNDERWEAR IS SIMPLE
The underwear matter is far simpler.
Union suits of fair quality may be had for
. cents-those who want better can pay
more-but by watching the frequent sales
wearable suits can be had for the sum
named. Swiss ribbed vests are largely worn
Tor corset covers. and both these garments
are easily washed in warm suds and need
no Ironing. They may be gently pulled into
shape when dry.
Neckwear is also easily managed. With
collars costing cents each for cleansing
anu fresh one necessary every day in the
hottest weather, 1t becomes sheer extrava-
gance to wear them. The stores are filed

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIu
Every boys first thought, when he con-
Giders athletics. is to get a big muscle.
o. ar v1o muscles of the body that can
be made big by exercise, he prizes most
highly the biceps, the muscle on the upper
arm. and most boys are content once they
are able to show an egg" when they bend
their arm and make the biceps tense

can develop his muscles, or any set of
them, SO that they will be big enough to
command respect anywhere.
And he DO it in an amazingly short
time IL he Will stick to 1t and work steadily.
Steady work is the secret
To do hard exercise for q few days until
you are comparatively tired cut, and then
to do nothing at all for few succeeding
days is useless.
The muscle grows, not from being sub
3ected to heavy strains. but from being
moved constantly.
Motion makes muscle. That is lesson No
to remember.
Motion exercises can be used for the BIZ
ceps more readily than for any other
muscle
You can exercise the biceps and other
arm muscles even when walking along the
street
Merely hold your arms fairly rigid go as
to make all the muscles tense and then
open and shut your hands in rapid success
sion.
BENEFICIAL EXERCISE
FOR THE BICEPa
For the biceps alone. the most simple ex-
ercise is to brace both upper arms very
firmly to the sides of the body, exercising
enough pressure to squeeze the ribs soundIy.
Then bring the lower arms with fists
tightly clinched swiftly up as fast as you
can double them without moving the upper
arms.
Do this few hundred times in succession
At least once day and you will tind that
your biceps Is beginning to take on the

Persisted IN FIRE.
Two Children Burned to Death
in Bed.
While Frantic Parents Cropped Blindly
for Them Through Flames and
Smoke-'rhe Mother will Also Die.

A dreadful catastrophe occurred
near Lemont in Fayette county yes
terday in which two children were
burned to death in he'd and in try-
ing to rescue them the mother was
burned so badly that she will die.
The News Standard tells the story
thus:
Andrew McAuley is a indus
trious laborer He had saved
enough to build house on lot he
owned two miles up the Hollow from
Lemont. In the bedroom the family
were sleeping soundly while the
home was being devoured by the
flames. When they did awaken the
roof was falling in and they were
surrounded by walls of fire. Mrs.
McAuIey had gotten up very early
and built fire in the kitchen stove.
Then she went back to bed and fell
asleep. The fire is supposed to have
caught somewhere in the chimney
from the big fire in the stove. The
roof caught. Falling embers spread
the fire below. The little house
burned like finder.
McAuley and his wife sprang
from their bed and tried to save tie
children. Of these one was grown
hoy. He fought his way out OF the
fire after trying hard to reach his
little brother and sisters. The smoke
was binding, and McAnley end his
wife CROPPED in it in vain TO get all
their childred out One of these
was baby. 1t was finally saved
comparatively uninjured. But Gro
yer, the boy, aged IL, anc Ruth aged
8, were burned to a crisp. Their
charred bodies were found in the
ashes of the little home.
The father escaped with some bad
burns. He had at last to force his
vile out of the seething flames. The
frantic woman was determined to
save her little ones or perish with
them. The father, realizing how
hopeless the effort was, carried her
out, but LOO late to save her. It is
believed she can live but short
time.
A strange feature of the fire was
that it did not arouse the house dog
that was sleeping in the room with
the family. 1t is strange that with
his keen scent he was not aroused
by the smoke before the sleeping in
mates. His warning banks might
have saved all their lives. He was
burned with the rest.
A later report from Mrs. McAuley
is that her death is hourly expect
ed.
