THE WRONG WAY TO WALK
Inelegant and Slovenly Gait Noticed All Too
frequently.

Walking-one of the most popular
and beneficial exercises-is well dis
cussed in Good Housekeeping;
Very stout or slouchy people allow
the abdomen to lead" Brain work
ers, worriers, all nervous and physi-
cally uncultivated people, let their
heads lead; the head is further adj
vanced than any other part of the per-
son. Dyspeptics whose thoughts are
centered on their stomachs, often un-
consciously lead with the waist line
just owe the offending organ. Oc-
~casionally a weak-willed person per-
mits the knees to lead. When a thin,
bad walker moves rapidly, there often
seems to be a rae between nose and
knees, and you, watch to see which
will arrive at the goal first.
When a young woman's skirt and a
young mans trousers show a bullying
shape over the knees, their owners
are leading ~sedentary lives or have
never learned to walk correctly. This
part of the lower limbs should be kept
straight, and the ball of the foot, not
the heel, should touch the ground
first. When the head is bent for long
hours over sewing machine or ledger
or onion bed, it is not an easy matter
to pull it back to its proper position
and make it stay there. and it seems
so much more easy and comfortable
to let the chest sink than to hold it
up to its right place; but the demands
of health and beauty are identical in
the matter of a head held easily, not
realistically, back, and a chest kept
in the highest and most advanced
position.
1t is a striking tact that this atti-
tude of head and cnest is expressive.
not only of health and grace, but of
the finer mental qualities. The en-
barrassed boy drops his head; if he
would hold his head up, his nervous
ness would disappear. The shy girl
thinks that every one in the room is
looking at her, and her chest sinks;
but if she would hold it up-assume
the attitude of courage, though she
have 1t not-she wouldn't care wheth-
er they looked or not. The self-con-
scious person who knows he is stiff
and awkward. and who knows that
his stiffness and a~wkwardness are the
direct results of his self-consciOus-
ness, should imagine that a strong
string is attached to the upper part
of his chest and held by an invisible
hand above him. All he has to do is
to let his body depend from that
string and keep his head well back of
it, and his mind and body will alike
become easy and free. The most
graceful walker I ever knew told me
that she habitually walked by the aid
of this invisible cord.

Tooth Brushes.

DR.. S. H. arnold gives some interest
ing facts and good advice in regard
to that daily friend, the tooth brush:
Nearly all brushes are made from
bristles taken from the wild hogs of
Russia or China. The handles are
common beef bones. They are made
mostly in Japan, France, England and
Germany, and by one firm in the
United States. Probably English
brushes are the best made and worst
shaped. The French are next in quail
ity, but far ahead in form. Germany
ard Japan ire generally imitators.
Some of the most expensive English
and French, and all American brushes,
are made in factories under more or
less sanitary conditions, but the cheap
er grades, including all German and
Japanese brushes, are made in the
huts of the peasants, where cattle,
dogs, swine, fowls and humans are
herded in common. The bristles and
bone are given out by the dealer and
taken into the country, where they are
assorted by the aged and young chill
dren and diseased persons, the strong
er members of the family working at
more remunerative employment.
These cheap brushes are often in
the most unsanitary and wretched sur
roundings imaginable, and it is a sig
nihcant fact that after being made
they are seldom sterilized before
using.
The English brushes are generally
very much toe large to be efficient.
The French are better shaped, but are
apt to be too long of head, making
much waste to the brush. and are too
long of bristle.
A wide brush is not advisable be-
cause it limits the movement possibly
longitudinally to the tooth. Long bris-
ties are not the best, because they
bend when the brush is thrust back
between cheek and teeth, and stay
bent till the brush is withdrawn, thus
missing the interproximal spaces so
much in need of cleaning. Soft bris-
ties become softer when wet, and
utterly fail to enter the spaces at all.
If the surface of the bristles is con-
caNed 10 NJ the laDlal
curve of the teeth, then when the
brush is reversed and used on the lin
quail surfaces, only the ends of the
brush engage the teeth; hence, more
teeth are missed than cleaned, and
the user is deceived into thinking he
has cleaned his teeth because he has
brushed them.
Studying the brush over and what is
required of it, it would seem that the
brush best adapted to use in the hui
man mouth should have a short, mar
row head, with short, rather stir bris-
ties, trimmed straight longitudinally
and convex %latitudinally. that each line
Of bristles may zone successfully into
use as the brush is rotated.

hour of triumph has come.
"The law of compensation ~pervades

Consumption Can Be Conquered.

49, ~ W. ~
The universal interest in the Anti
tuberculosis movement is shown in
every convention held to consider this
work. The discussions are practical,
not theoretical. The audiences are
popular, not merely professional. The
whole people are |intereted.
In a session just closed at Atlanta,
Georgia, many important and interest
ing phases of the prevention and cure
of consumption were considered. DR..
c. P. Amber gave a concise review of
the duty of the physician in charge,
to the patient and family. His paper
IA enthusiastically received and
adopted as the sense of the League on
this subject.
His points were as follows: First,
tuberculosis is not the fatal disease
commonly believed.
Second-While communicable 1t can
be made practically harmless by the
proper course on the part of the
patient.
Third-The chief cause of the high
mortality is late diagnosis.
Fourth-Late diagnosis is caused
by indifference of the patient to early
symptoms and carelessness on the
part of the physician consulted.
Filthy thorough, systematic in
struction of the patient better results
can be accomplished than by medica-
ton.
Sixth-Instruction of patient, fam
lily and friends, and close observance
m their part of the rules laid down
will practically rob the disease of its
method and mean of extending.

pulp of these beans contains many of
the caseine qualities, and that the re-
sulting composition is both nourishing
and pleasant to the taste.

There was a little woman
In a very sorry plight;
For, strange to tell. this woman
Disliked to dwell with light.
She closed her blinds up tightly.
Then craped the windows DER,
For fear the blessed sunshine
Would spoil her walls and floor.
This dainty little woman
Grew very pale and thin,
Just like the weak potato sprouts
In cellars deep and dim.

The sweetness of Gods light.

PANAMA CANAL IN TEN YEARS.
sea Level scheme Recommended $50
Feet Wido, 30 Feet Deep.


WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-The first
definite engineering plans for the con-
structlon of the Panama canal have
just been laid before the Isthmian ca
nal commission by the engineering
committee, Commissioners Burr, Par
sons and Davis.
The principal recommendations are
that the committee recommend for
adoption a plan for sea level canal,
with bottom width of $50 feet and a
minimum depth of water Of 80 feet
and with twin tidal locks at Mara
flores, whose disable dimensions shall
be 1000 feet long and 100 feet wide,
at total estimated cost OF $3.50, 500,
600.
1t is recommended that the Chagres
river be controlled by dam at Gam
boa. built on crest height of 200 feet,
and the waters Of the lake thus Gre
ated disposed Of through tunnels.
A sea level canal can be completed
within from ten to twelve years from
the present time.
These recommendation are the con-
clusion of report to the commission
prepared in the canal zone based on
complete engineering reports on all of
the problems involved.
