The exercises are simple. The first
one is that of touching the ends of the
pole. Reach out with your finger tips
and try to reach the tips. of the pole.
Have the pole so long that you cannot
quite reach the: ends. Then keep on
trying tc touch them. It broadens the
shoulders and gives the arms the ex-
ercise they need for the second mo-
ton.
"The second pole motion is the real
one when it comes to being higher.
The pole is set on end, and the game
is to reach up as high as, possible. Try
to touch the top. Don't climb the pole,
but simply reach up. Keep on reach
ing up and up tor five minutes.
The way to do it is this: Take a
deep, long breath; grasp the pole firm
ly in the middle; then travel up, hand
over hand, until you go as high as you
can. When you have reached your
limit, make a mark, and begin over
again. The highest mark will record
your progress for that day. Next day
try again. But don't keep on for
| more than five minutes at time, for
it is easy to in jure your muscles in this
manner. 49,.

want out of door air, get out and wash
the windows. Window washing is to
my mind fine piece of arm work. The
windows are never muddy, so there is
no excuse that it is dirty work. A
channels, cloth, and a pail of fresh
water are about all that is needed.
And then just think of the beneficial
effects.
window washing gives you just the
amount Of outdoor air you need. The
window is open and you get the bene-
fit of the hot house air rushing to the
outside. The air is far from biting,
even on the coolest days; in summer
time it is positively bewitching. Mean

ASPARAGUS. is IN THE VAN.
Precedes the Other Fresh Vegetables
That Spring Affords.

That Spring ATords.
Asparagus is the precursor of the
season of fresh vegetables, and there
is probably no other vegetable the
flavor of which is so highly esteemed
as is that of tender asparagus. Chemi-
cal analysis offers no explanation of
it's pleasant flavor, but assigns to it a
decidedly high nutritious value. AS
paragus, however, furnishes one of
those interesting examples of food
which, though containing more water
in it's composition than does milk, is
nevertheless solid substance. Thus
the head of the asparagus contains
slightly more than SO per cent of
water, which is only 1 per cent less
than contained in the lettuce, but 5
per cent more than is present in milk.
The solid constituents, however, are
particularly rich in heterogeneous sub
stances, which amount to 80 per cent
of the dreid vegetable.
Among these may be reckoned pu-
rim body, to which has been ascribed
the harmful influence Of asparagus on
some persons with a equity tendency.
When asparagus is consumed in large
quantities the output Of uric acid: is
very distinctly increased. The. same
effect is obtained after drinking CO.
Fpiously of beer, which also contains
purin bodies, although they are en-.
tirely absent in wines, and, Of course.
in spirits. Sweetbread may be objec:
tionable on similar grounds. There is
no reason for thinking, however, that
when asparagus is eaten in reason
able quantities it causes an undesira-
BILE disturbance Of the bodily func-
tons. On the contrary, it is very
digestible and is easily tolerated. even
by invalids. *>.

GREENE BILL is IN
DISTRICT GRANGE MEASURE is
BEFORE IOWA HOUSE.
cHARAc is SWEEPING
Proposed Enactment Is Drawn Up
and introduced on the Same Day
lis Substitute for An
other Proposal.

Russell Woodland, Staff Correspondent
Des Moines, Ia, Feb. ia sweeping
change in the congressional districts of
Iowa is made in the bill introduced by
Representative Greene, chairman of the
congressional committee.
The aim is to give each of the IL dis
tricts a population of 1900.
The bill will make no change in the
political complexion of Iowa except to
make a solid Republican delegation a
certainty.
This is effected by taking away John
son and Muscatine counties from the
Second district, insuring a Republican
majority there, and not affecting the
Fifth district, to which they are added.
Representative Greene's is
Aomewhat OF the order OF the measure
which was introduced some time ago.
which substituted counties in the Sec
ond district for those in the Fifth, but
it is said to be less detrimental to party
chances. BY the previously introduced
measure Congressman Cousins would
have been left hopelessly without any
hope of reelection, but this bill, it would
seem, does not have that effect.
1t is presumed that this measure has
the sanction of the administration forces
and will be substituted for the previous
one, which may be killed, and doubtless
will have to be if this is to be accepted
by the committee. The bill wal pre-
pared and introduced on the same day
this week, and marks the biggest of a
long series of surprises which have been
sprung in the Iowa legislature.
The chances of the new measure are
but little known and its future is but a
matter of conjecture. 1t was referred to
committee and how the body will treat
1t will be seen in a few days, as it is be-
lieyed it will be acted upon at once.
