Don't Fold Your Arms.

-
BY folding your arms you pull the
shoulders forward, fatten the chest
and impair deep breathing. Folding
the arms across the chest so fattens
it down that it requires conscious
effort to keep the chest in what
should be it's natural position. AS
soon as you forget yourself down
drops the chest.
We cannot see ourselves as others
see us. If we could many of US
would be ashamed of our shapes. The
position you hold your body in most
of the time soon becomes its natural
position. Continuously folding your
arms across the chest will develop a
fiat chest and rounded back.
Here are four other hints which
should be made habits: Keep the
back of the neck close to the back of
the collar at all possible times. Al
ways carry. the chest farther to the
front than any other part of the an
terror body Draw the abdomen in
and up hundred times each day.
Take a dozen deep, slow breaths a
dozen times each day. Family Doc
tor.

Riot OF Colors.

In the bewildering mazes of colors
that are in vogue this season there is
always danger that too glaring col
ors or unbecomfng tints, though eff
fective, may be chosen. There is no
denying that striking colors challenge
attention, and certain compilations
can stand brilliant colors.

A Dead Soldier.

A few minutes ago we wrote about
the water wagon and it, popularity.
and inadvertently used the expression
dead soldiers" An Office stenograph.
or who is paid for passing judgment
on all our literary efforts wants to
know what in creation q dead
soldier" is. The ignorance Of these
women is alarming. We no sooner ex-
plain to one the meaning of the ex-
preston. "a water wagon" than up
hobs another and interrogates regard
ing dead soldier" ;.
A dead soldier, in this sense. is not
q patriotic individual who has died for
his country and lies peacefully asleep
IN the folds of ''old glory" It is q
beer bottle drained of the amber fluid
and cast aside, a whisky receptacle
from which the Dante's inferno has
been drained. gin canteen relieved
OF its snakes. or any liquor containe1
which has done all the damage it can
and has fallen by the wayside."
Dead soldiers are often found in the
city but occur with great frequency
and startling postures in the prohibi-
tfon districts. Occasionally some rural
wag will leave one on the minister's
front porch as a reminder that the
millennium is still lost to sight In the
mirage ahead. Small boys out gath
ering pond lilies Unexpectedly locate
dead soldiers bObbfng about in the lily
pads. and use them for fishline floats:
A fish which bites . hook suspended
from dead soldier has no more
chance Of dying a natural death than
the man who killed the soldier" Il
is q cinch for the bottle in both in,
stances. Dead soldiers are sometimes
used by mother for storing away soft
soap. When Johnnie makes a collec.
ton for the Junk man, he empties out
the soap and completes the even
dozen bottles with the Soldier"
The beer man souses out most
OF the soap and fills 'er up again
for the purchaser. who smacks his lips
and exclafms:
Gee, but that goes down sIickery!"
