FOOD HELPS
In Management of a R. r.

In Management Of a r. r.
Speaking of food a railroad man
says
MY work puts me out in all kinds
of weather, subject to irregular hours
for meals and compelled to eat all
kinds of food.
For years was constantly trou-
bled with indigestion, caused by eat
ing heavy, fatty, starchy, greasy, poor
ly cooked food, such as are most &C
cessible to men in my business. Gen.
orally each meal or lunch was fol.
lowed by disusssing pains and burn
ing sensations in my stomach, which
destroyed my sleep and almost unfit
ted me for work. My brain was so
muddy and foggy that it was hard for
me to discharge my duties properly.
This lasted till about year ago.
when my attention was called to Grape
Nuts food by newspaper ad. and
concluded to try it. Since then l have
used Grape-Nuts at nearly every meal
and sometimes between meals. We
railroad men have little chance to pre-.
pare our food in our cabooses and
find Grspe-Nu mighty handy, for it
is ready cooked.
ITO make long story short, Grape
Nuts has made new man Of me. /
have no more burning distress in my
stomach, nor any other symptom OF
Indigestion I can digest anything so
long as eat Grape-Nuts. md my
brain works as clearly and accurately
as an engineers watch, and my old
nervous troubles have disappeared en-
tirely." Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.

book, The Road to Wellville" in pkgs.

stick ngures recommends itself as more
manageable for the child, because the
intention Is so quickly conveyed.
A few attempts with the stick man
will show his possibilities. He can walk,
run, jump, weep, rage or dance as his
lines are inclined. Gestures can readily
be translated by him, and a new field
of observation is found for the child
To the teacher who seeks a more ex-
haustive treatment of expression and
action by line DR.. Runners Elements
of Design" is suggested.
Stick Figures in Action.
The stick figure should be given the
child to use in the. study of action along
with the block figures, of which its pic
lures are made. The pictures are not
to be made of the stick figures. When
the child wants the block figure to per-
form an action and cannot represent 1t
the flexible stick figure is to be used an
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1906-03-30

figure will be treated as other objects
have been, by reducing it to the simplest
drawn form that can stand for the OBJ
ject it represents. The block figures
given are but variation of the many
ways devised for the simplifcation of
the human figure. AS these ways APP
proach anatomical completeness they
grow in complexity and difficulty The
way here used is as far from such conf
pleteness as it is simple. That it is so
far removed does not leave it incapable
of expression and lifelike action. The
human symbol stands in the same rela-
ton to man as the tree symbols to will
lows, pines or apple trees, and meets the
same supposition that the draughts-
mans knowledge is not present.
Easy to Make Stick Figures.
The natural assumption on the part of
the unframed is that Che human figure
h beyond their ability to repyssent. vet
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1906-03-30

an auxiliary, the action studied ana
drawn by it, and then the block figures
drawn from that.
The teacher may drill the child in the
use of the stick figures apart from the
block figures as long as he thinks profit
able. He will notice that by beginning
with the backbone and shoulder line the
inclination of the action is determined.
AS in running the degree of obliquity is
increased with the speed, the angle
formed by the legs becomes greater and
needs a wider base. Experiment will
suffice in this study without going into
the realm of physics.
The Block Figures.
Present the block figures to the child
as in the illustration by drawing the
square that stands for the body, then
apart, the square and parallelogram
that stand for body and legs, then the
square and parallelogram, adding sue
cessively head, arms, feet and hands.
The difference in proportion between
the squares used for the man and wom-
an, suggesting the greater shoulder
width of the man, will be noted.
Much can be done with the figure in
the rectangular condition, while the adj
dition of concave lines at the shoulders
for the woman and convex shoulder lines
for the man, the use of the curved lines
for the torso and other suggestions
drawn in the illustrations materially
help the figures.
1t will be noted that all these curves
that give roundness to the figure are
built upon the squares as first given.
This makes the construction compare
lively easy, as the big proportions are
given in the first two parallelograms.
Strict adherence to the block forms is
not necessary. Freedom from cOnstraint
in this direction is only governed by the
child's ability to approach the perfect
ly drawn figure.
As'the block figure is only symbol
and not drawing of man, there is no
need of the child's being drilled in its
production beyond familiarizing it with
it's general proportions and giving some
practice in it's possibilities of action.
Such subjects as a woman walking with
little boy, seated man, man carry
ing stick or gun, woman with basket
on her head, will serve the purpose.
These practice subjects should be done
without the complication of background.
Keep the Work Simple
AS the requirement of this new pic
ture form opens up large field of sub
iects, the interest of the child ought to
be proportionately increased. The
teacher in his own efforts to find subjects
should at first be governed by the limita-
tions of the block figure, at the same
time recognizing its possibilities. Its
field of action is sufficiently large with
out attempting foreshortening or other
difficulties that have kept the work so
far out of the skilled draughtsman's
province The three-quarters view Of
the human figure may be tried later, but
it stays with questions of perspective
that would better wait than be answered
now. The child should be occupied with
what it can do with its medium, and MOI
with what it cannot. The subjects that
will follow are chosen on these lines,
and lead to use of the human figure In
storytelling where more complicated
use of it can be reasonably required.
