REMEDY FOR WRITER'S cRAMo
Various Ways Of Overcoming commca
Inconvenience.


What an annoyance 1t is TO spread
all your writing materials out and set.
tie down to whole afternoon Of let.
ter writing, only to find after half an
hour that you have the writer's cramp.
After the first letter or two you give
1t up Inc despair, and the friends
who are waiting for letters are disap.
pointed.
This writer's cramp is serious mat.
ter to people whose work requires
that they use pen very much, while
for the unaccustomed writer who
takes an afternoon of now and then
to catch up with her correspondence II
is, to say the least. very discouraging.
The trouble is more than muscular In
this kind of cramp. Very often a low
nervous condition will cause II. Then
one should take 1t as a warning that
the system is run down and needs gen.
eral toning up. Very often, however,
the trouble Is in the way you hold
your pen.
Children now in school are not like
ly to be troubled with writer's cramp.
because they are being taught to
hold the pen lightly and make all
the movements from the arm instead
of the hand. The old.fashioned meth.
cd which most of us learned, of hold
ing the pen between the thumb and
forefinger IS also very likely to en-.
courage cramp. The muscles be-
come tense and hard, until finally they
contract so much that all control over
them is lost. The pen should be held
between the two first fingers, well up
toward the Joint. The trouble may
often be relieved by putting the hand
and wrist into the hottest water one
can stand

Economical Commodore.

1t was the custom in the days Of
our old navy for the men to bring to
the mast all WORKOUT articles which
were to be inspected, handed in, and
exchanged for new. The drummer
had applied for so many drum-heads
that the commodore felt sure he was
being imposed upon, and one day set
himself to watch while the band was
playing. AS one rafting martial air
followed another, his anger increased
perceptibly, until he burst forth in
uncomfortable rage: There now,
confound you! see why you use SO
many drum-heads! Don't drum In the
middle of it all the time. Drum all
over that drum, | tell you!"

Hjppophauv,

Hippophagy being in low water in
these later days, somebody has set
himself to show what an exceedingly
respectable history attaches to the
practice. Among the ancients, especial.
ly In China, eating horse flesh was
general. and 1t was only killed in Eu'
rope by a papal decree of Gregory III,
though why horse flesh should have
been interdicted does not appear. 1t
was only the famine caused by Ma
poleon's invasion that revived the
practice in Germany, where 1t has
survived ever since.
